Welcome to September CRAZIES!!! And welcome to Fall! My favorite time of year has arrived with all the seasonal treats, festivals and holidays I love so much all on the horizon! Summer was a mixed bag. Lotta highs, but some lows. VERY busy time actually and Fall's looking like it's coming at me a mile a second too, so best I can do really is brace myself and hope for a little sleep once Christmas rolls around. But enough about that! I got a lot of cool art to showcase this month that won't get posted if I keep droning on in the opening paragraph, so let's get to it! Enjoy...
It's Bubble Fox! Bubble Fox in color! What's so special about that you might ask? Well, this piece was done in colored pencils! Most regular readers, as well as those that follow me on social media, know that in recent years I've been exploring mediums outside of my typical marker coloring. Markers are still my primary coloring medium as they're quicker and familiar, but I'm always interested in trying new things. Some mediums are easier to pick up on than others. Watercolors have proven to be tricky thus far, though I haven't practiced much. Oil pastels have also been a mixed bag. I've created a few really cool pieces with them, but nothing I'd truly brag about. Colored pencils, however, have really become my favorite medium! The way they blend and just give a textured, picture book look to art... I love coloring with them! Last year I made a commitment to do one colored pencil portrait a month featuring a different CRAZY character. Haven't always been able to keep up with it as much as I'd like to, but I've definitely got a catalogue going and I'm gonna see how far I get on this endeavor before I run out of characters! We got Bubble Fox so far, so that's a start at least!
Well, that's one down with four more to go as the Fall season kicks off here at the CRAZYVERSE. Be sure to come back next week which citizen of CRAZY gets the pencil rendering next! Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
