B2MeM Challenge: One of my own prompts: "in a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." Materials: Directions: This was my original painting, done on heavy watercolor paper. I started with a pencil sketch, which I inked with Micron pens, .005 and .01. I used watercolor pencils, and gauche, and a tiny bit of acrylics in white and yellow for touch ups. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh216/dreamflower2/Bag%20End%20scan%201%202.jpg I was not happy with the sky. I had used a light blue to paint it in, but in all the scans it came up grey. So I used the paintbucket tool at LunaPics to change the sky color, and printed it out. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh216/dreamflower2/5b9345aa-1a82-420a-b809-846bcec0f2c1.gif Here it is with the calligraphy added. I used a hand based on Nancy Lorenz' Bilbohand, which I used in an earlier entry this year. I also touched up the colors in the flowers before the final scan. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh216/dreamflower2/Bag%20End%20calligraphy%20added.jpg Here are views of the finished shirt: http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh216/dreamflower2/Bag%20End%20shirt%201_1.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh216/dreamflower2/Bag%20End%20shirt%202%202.jpg To care for your T-shirt: turn it inside out; wash it by itself or in a small load on the delicate cycle (or wash by hand); hang to dry--do not put in dryer. |
