Butterfly race WIP
-
@andersoncarman Good point about Skippy covering the horses. I tried developing the other scene but am not liking the way it is going and keep coming back to the thumbnail in red (the horses thundering down the track). I think I'll switch to playing with that one some more now and see where it goes.
This morning before work, I was so tired of trying to figure this out that I drew this:
I'll get serious again about it tonight though. Thanks for your encouragement.
-
After lots of failed sketches, here is the design I am going with. On to clean up and inking.
-
Sketch 2.0. Nest, tracing it onto watercolor paper to ink. (The butterfly is gray just so I could move him around on a separate layer and he would cover the horses.)

This post is deleted! -
I did a quick line and wash of part of the detail of my final drawing to see how it would look. I’m using a dip pen which is new to me, and I can see some things in the drawing and inking that I need to change but in general, I like the look.
-
Looks great! I like the feel of the racers. Can’t wait to see it!
-
First inking pass. (Why is it you only see all of the tangents after you've posted something?!)
-
First watercolor wash. I’ll darken the values and add details in the next pass. I’m trying to do this all traditionally but I already see some things I’ll have to correct in Procreate. Sigh.
-
Here is my final (?) piece but I'm trying to decide on cropping. The first is the full thung and the second is cropped. Any thoughts?
