So I had this debate with a friend awhile ago. Not to get into the specifics but the jist of it is that I believe that everyone has some creativity in them. I think creativity is something that needs to be fostered and nurtured. To prove this I did a five page story based on something my friend wrote. This was kind of the next big project I did after the portrait I did of my grandfather. It was a challenge, but it was a lot of fun. I didn't really use a lot of referenct and wanted it to have a bit of a loose, rough, handmade feel. I used Arch's watercolor paper, drew directly on the board with a 4h pencil, then went in with Paynes Gray water color. After that I did the borders with black acrylic paint, went back in with a Presto white-out pen, and did some more highlights using watered down white acrylic paint. Hope everyone likes it.
Special thanks to Cassandra Thomas for the story. It really was one of the most fun things I've done in awhile and I attribute that to the writing itself.
