Rain’s challenge this Thursday is “Boots”. I found an adorable image to model my sketch off. Here it is!
I added a bit more personality in each mouse’s face. The expressions tell a story. Mama is worried because one of her babies seems distressed whereas the other three are having loads of fun.
I used my Brushstrokes app to recreate my sketch. The program loses some of the small details but I love the texture of the image.
When I finish an art piece sometimes it doesn’t sit right with me. That’s what happened when I began composing this post. I felt my drawing need more of a backdrop. In the final (I promise) revision I place the playful mice inside a closet.
Drawing the hanging clothes and shoes was a bit tricky. I used a dark grudge brush across to create a shadowy feeling like you’d imagine it would inside a closet. No one wants mice in their closet but it’s okay in pictures. 🙂
Do you grow tire of seeing various reworks of the same art piece? Let me know! 😉
That’s it for today, join me tomorrow for another edition of FFO!
