Crayyyyons

Today I really wanted to push myself to creating things with limited time and with a mark making tool I am not usually used to using...



...and here is one I created. I found some crayons that I used way back in high school and at one point I decided to create this creepy goblin character. Using colour before entering photoshop when I illustrate is usually not what I'm into, but this has definitely opened my eyes for sure. I only spent about 10 minutes sketching it out and I made sure ever time that the crayon was put to paper that I did so with precision. I really liked mixing a whole array of colours to create different shading styles and textures.

I did however start this particular piece in the way I usually create my illustrations. With a green vert crayon I create a general outline, but as I went on to add more colours I faded those lines and added on top of them with darker browns and black. Really want to experiment more with the use of crayons within my practice. If I kept at using them and possibly mixing it with other mark making devices I could hopefully find something that works well for me towards creating my illustrations.
