Therefor Jana and I wanted to do something special and decided do <span style="color: #e69138;"><b>design a christmascard </b></span>as this months challenge.<br />
<br />
I'm not quite sure yet, what it is going to be. Maybe an illustration of a classical childrens christmas book. Or maybe something completely different, focussing on a handcrafted, non-traditional multi-layered card.<br />
<br />

<h3>
Step 1.</h3>
I decided to make a painting of an old woman, as an allegory for mother nature and the last days of the year.<br />
<br />
I worked with white gesso as a primer. Then drew the most important facial structures onto the paper, without going into detail. After that I got a big brush and painted the whole sheet with diluted grey-blue-ish ink, with the sketch still showing through. While the paint was still wet I set the basic shadows, without being to accurate – the messy parts are what make it interesting. With salt, towelpapers, dry strokes and alcohol I created textures (everywhere, also on the face). Then I let everything dry an start to highlighte, again, using gesso with a brush or white charcoal an coloured pencils. I repeated this process until I was satisfied. :D<br />
<br />
This is a early process shot:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a few layers later. Also, I am actually working in a sketchbook since some weeks. What normally isn't quite my thing but I always admired people who had a sketchbook, for so many reasons. So I am trying to establish the habit for my self.<br />

Step 2.</h3>
I scanned it. And realised, that I accidently used the wrong medium (the gel-medium, not the transparent gesso -which is a lot shinier and reacts different with the other mediums). This gel-medium is a real pain to digitalise, either by camera or scanner, since it kills a lot of details and also creates many little white reflections.<br />
Also, as you can see, the scanned image turned out super dark (my scanner is crap -.- ). So my first steps were to erase the most annoying white reflections with the patch-tool and lighten up the image, while taking out a bit of the contrast.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then I started adding more details with textured brushes. Readjusted the composition/size of the head.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">After talking to Jana, I decided to recreate our current header picture on facebook for this months challenge. The grey gradient that facebook adds to the header pictures looks quite awful on the mainly white image. The additional lack of contrast between the profil pic and the header is also an issue that was bothering me. So, this will be my mission for this month!! </span></div>

So, lets talk about the topic. Since the main focus lies on textures you can get very playfull with different colours! To me it looks like <span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/daniel.egneus?ref=stream">Daniel Egnéus</a> uses watercolour textures, acrylic textures and magazin cutouts to create interesting images. Judging by the very clean edges I would assume, that he then scans the textures and puts them together digitally.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The dimensions for cover photos on facebook are <span class="_Tgc _y9e"><b>851px wide</b> by <b>315px</b> high. I went with a bigger size, but the ratio remains the same.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="_Tgc _y9e">--------------------------------------------------</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="_Tgc _y9e">update:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="_Tgc _y9e">I decided to do a more three-dimensional composition based on the original M-shaped Kolibri header (since it seemed to be a more interesting composition. and it would be more fun to draw). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="_Tgc _y9e">So I picked a few reference images from the internet and started sketching. I knew that I was only going to work with the basic shapes and not much detail, because the textures overlaying the image would give enough details, already (and kill te underlying details). </span></span><br />
<br />
In the last months I created a habit of only working in black and
white at first and then, when the basic colour levels and contrasts are
set, get the colour in. This way it is a lot easier to focus on the
composition and light effects I want to apply.<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="_Tgc _y9e"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="_Tgc _y9e">This are the textures I used:</span></span><br />

This was the finished black and white version. I actually think, I like this one more. But I felt as if this image needed more colour, because it was supposed to be our next header.<br />

Sooo, I got the colours in. And it is really cheesy, which probably is related to me studyinbg baroque art and architecture (all the coloured marble and fat babies with petals and gold and...jesus) at the moment. Maybe I am going to get the eyes to look a bit more demonical some time. But for now I think it is ok like this.<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="_Tgc _y9e"> </span></span><br />

Step 1.</h3>
So, Jana and I are currently in the last two weeks of our final exam. And I am startig to get rather nostalgic and emotional -thats why I decided to do a marf-themed illustration this month to hold this moment in time :D (which is not cheesy at all).<br />
For some time now I've been fascinated by the super different body types Jana and I have. She is rather skinny and long, everything about her is thin and fragile. I, on the other hand, am rather short (my hands and feet are tiny), got a round face and a wider bodystructure.<br />
We spoke about that one time and both agreeed it was a bit of a grandma weatherwax and nanny ogg thing going on. Making the sketches I also had to think of Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout (or Mrs Weasly). <br />
Well, anyway, I found that difference rather charming in kontrast so I decided to do an illustration about it. I also wanted to depict a pose jana often takes up that has just a lot of fun curves to draw. So yea...there you go, thats my topic for this month :)<br />
<br />
Oh, and it is by all means totally how we look. Just kidding, it was a spontaneous decision to draw this and I had no reference whatsoever. So Janas pose looks in real life way cooler. And I dont have a signature pose yet, so thats just me standing there. I have to think about one, though. hm.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h3>
Step 2.</h3>
The painting-part. Since this challenge is focusing on gouache underpaintings i digged out my paints, as well as some water-soluble coloured pencils. (Blue coloured pencils are also very useful for sketching before painting - if you do not use to much force while drawing they almost completely vanish when getting in contact with water.)<br />
<br />
Normally I start with applying a wet coat to the area that I want to paint on. Depending on which effects I want to create I either wait a short amount of time or a long one until applying the first colours. In this case I wanted a rather clean look, so I let it dry to the point that the colours did not fade anymore but did not get that super sharp edges, yet. Then I simply started adding colours, not going into much detail but creating the main underlaying colors and soft gradients.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h3>
Step 3.</h3>
Then I waited for it to dry and got my faber castells. I used to only work with very cheap coloured pencils and depending on which ones they totally did the deed. But they are often very hard and if you work on watercolor paper that is not completely dried (although the paper feels relatively dry after a short amount of time, it takes a few hours to dry completely) you only get rills in the paper and not much colour applied.<br />
<br />
So, when the paper was dried, I mainly traced the outlines with different colours (red for skin, grey/brown for the dress, blue for the jeans) and got a few more details in it (hands, hair, face). I think that adding a coloured pencils layer onto a painting whatsoever is very time efficient and you often dont even have to do that much to get a great result. This took me about half an hour.<br />

<h3>
Step 4.</h3>
I scanned it and adjusted a little bit the colours. I could have cut out the background more smoothly, but for now its fine with me. All in all this one was done super quickly and that definitely is one of the reasons it made so much fun. I think this months technique can be nice for simple sketches and quick illustrations.<br />
<br />
(I just realised, that the faces look a bit weird with both of them just staring happily past each other. Well, jana and I usually dont look each other in the eyes, anyway, because who does that...) <br />

<br />
The topic is inspired by the wonderful <a href="https://www.behance.net/corcoise">L Filipe dos Santos.</a><br />
Doodlers anonymous featured a wonderful article about some of his sketchbook works, check it out <a href="http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/post/2126/rorschach-test-for-doodlers/">here</a>. <br />
<br />
I am really excited about this one and was waiting for it to come up! It reminds me of my atelier-classes from the first semesters of my study. The assignments were always very experimental and getting you out of your comfort zone, which was great! And it is something I do way to little at the moment, so yay to this months topic!! :D <br />
<br />
Lets talk about the technique: You can bascially just mess around with watercolours (or gouache, acrylics, ink...whatever you feel comfortable with and which is suited for making an inkblot test) and then make an imprint of the wet colours. It is very playful and creates random patterns, which is a nice change for someone, who tends to plan and structure her workprocess too much (like i do... -.- ).<br />
When the colours are dry you can work over it with wathever you like. <a href="https://www.behance.net/corcoise">L Filipe dos Santos</a> used coloured pencils, black liners and sometimes watercolour again. So, do whatever feels right and worth trying out to you! And have fun! :D <3<br />
<br />

<h3>
Step 1.</h3>
In the beginning I gathered all the stuff I would need, including some old used sketch paper, the cheap acrylics I once bought <i>(since I wanted to use a lot of paint, it didn't make sense to use the good ones. The problem with the cheap arylics is that they are kind of transparent if applied thinly. But since I intended to go wild with many layers of paint, that was no problem at all)</i>, some rubbergloves, a scraper, something to scratch lines into the paint <i>(only if you intend to create this kind of textures) </i>and a papertowel.<br />
Then I laid a thin colour coat onto the paper. If you use a white paper and do not do that, the paper that will be pressed against the painted paper will have white stains between the imprints. <br />
<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used different paints to create different effects. I achieved the best results with a mixture of cheap glitter acrylics and coloured ink –the glitter acrylics are kind of sticky and dry really fast, but they are not that colourful. The ink on the other hand has vibrant colours but is very fluid and does not stick to the paper after folding and pressing it together. So a mixture of both is just the right amount of colour and stickyness.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With this materials you do not necessarily need to put a coloured layer beneath, because they are more fluid than the pure acrylics and when pressed together fill the holes or create nice transitions.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also used thick white ink to drop into the free spaces, so the colours would mix and create a pastell-ish colourmix.</div>

<h3>
Step 2.</h3>
At this point I selected one inkblot I liked best and which inspired me the most. I scanned it and started to work in Photoshop on it, using a lot of textured brushes and the stamp-tool. I recorded the process and made a short video of the footage:<br />

As closing remarks I would like to encourage you on just going with the stuff you have at home and trying them out. They are probably not going to react the same way as the paints I used did, but that can be a good thing. Getting to know the perks of the materials is part of the fun. So, although I wrote a review about my workprocess for you guys to recreate, feel free to do things differently. And, of course, have fun! :)</div>

<h3>
Step 1.</h3>
At first I searched my mind, sketchbook and internet for ideas. This is something I often do alongside other things not related to the task, and that can spread over multiple days or even weeks, depending on the deadline and workflow. I ended up with a topic related to an assignment from universitiy, a somehow floating, ophelia-like figur. That was the point when I started to make some additinal sketches, trying to figure out the composition.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h3>
Step 2.</h3>
As soon as the motif was decided I collected my spray paint and a A2 sheet of paper and coloured it in blue, silver and black. I use spray paint for this technique, because you quickly get a smoothe and plain underground that is very tough and resilient. You should however wear a protective mask while spraying and only do it outside of the house. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3sMyZJJyaq73QyWglSoRFAYymSslVeic7FBfJvRl9CyJATeZOR2rsMKkHnzqVCcSR-0-xg45L_Lq_7Kh33vk9Dos0g90HINp58T426TAxwSUYxX308WWrPuASPuipiOdUMdDJxmfgO40/s1600/WIP_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3sMyZJJyaq73QyWglSoRFAYymSslVeic7FBfJvRl9CyJATeZOR2rsMKkHnzqVCcSR-0-xg45L_Lq_7Kh33vk9Dos0g90HINp58T426TAxwSUYxX308WWrPuASPuipiOdUMdDJxmfgO40/s1600/WIP_2.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Step 3.</h3>
Then I started to transfer the sketch to the sprayed paper. I used oilpastels and wax crayons from different manufacturers. At this point I tend to use a medium smoothe pen. Later on, when it is important to be able to smudge the colors with your fingers (I am wearing gloves, by the way), I am most comfortable with the very soft oilpastels from pentel, which are very affordable, too. Unfortunately they are so soft, that you have to be very careful not to smudge more, than you want to.<br />
<br />
Oilpastel pens are rather thick and you can not get very detailed with them, unless you draw a bigger composition. When I use this pens, I tend to draw very big automatically, which got to be a problem on this one, since there was not enough space for everything. While sketching I really wanted the right arm to be in the picture, so I kept adjusting and fixing till it seemed somewhat acceptabel. I also was pretty sure, that I wanted to work with a lot of textures (inspired by Van Gogh, who's work I adore at the moment), which helps to hide some anatomical or logical flaws. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRfd32XSvbzjrQlPanJNhsQi6Fn1MmlWkHJwqf9DWMxPuIpmUfrdHW-NwY5coJL-ZUqNAxDzTXT_Bax7HDyL2Y2hyphenhyphenWgS_lmoONUMgvDdlqGoLM5msgX7TzHaytb1dd6vOQAo_i9jHN6r8/s1600/WIP_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRfd32XSvbzjrQlPanJNhsQi6Fn1MmlWkHJwqf9DWMxPuIpmUfrdHW-NwY5coJL-ZUqNAxDzTXT_Bax7HDyL2Y2hyphenhyphenWgS_lmoONUMgvDdlqGoLM5msgX7TzHaytb1dd6vOQAo_i9jHN6r8/s1600/WIP_5.jpg" height="320" width="213" /> </a></div>
<br />
<h3>
Step 4.</h3>
As soon as the sketch was layed out properly, I picked my softest pens and started to lay down colours. I used mainly white, peach and rosé for the skin, different shades of grey, blue, green and lilac for the background. At this point I do not smudge, but rather draw the colours on top of each other. When I have a colour coat on the whole picture, I start to smudge and adjust. The fun thing about the soft oilpastels is, that you can work them over finished colour coats, creating nice textures. But you have to be carefull, because there is a point, when the paper's surface is closed from the colours and you can not put anithing els on it anymore (similar to coloured pencils, I guess).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdprqPqOW4vgZZk49RNLdQLx6-adSfzfqh36PghWUXhpw1IF_jQdXeHWkIM2UgZvH21IPJ0BDFgXdQh_lw99tVCbAnZOUGB4ywBV8X-uQxR8yo3GB9dVnsz1DphxDVR2RCsaBFRPJUEcs/s1600/WIP_6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdprqPqOW4vgZZk49RNLdQLx6-adSfzfqh36PghWUXhpw1IF_jQdXeHWkIM2UgZvH21IPJ0BDFgXdQh_lw99tVCbAnZOUGB4ywBV8X-uQxR8yo3GB9dVnsz1DphxDVR2RCsaBFRPJUEcs/s1600/WIP_6.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
<h3>
Step 5.</h3>
When the painting was done I scanned it. Since it is relatively huge and I only own a A3 scanner, I had to make two scans and than put them together in Photoshop. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglNVf3J0qYAgC2Upbou3behKzktLYCv5aoMHfaEkLTV5y7YOEE6X4T3dL2N6lpGdvODkJkcg7OP0GpyCnKb-g8zj2Ex7IXP3k15_40AMtbqFgNq4Hvf6GHKCUY9HxBlsLwZnknBw8G4GM/s1600/Pastell_Drowning_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglNVf3J0qYAgC2Upbou3behKzktLYCv5aoMHfaEkLTV5y7YOEE6X4T3dL2N6lpGdvODkJkcg7OP0GpyCnKb-g8zj2Ex7IXP3k15_40AMtbqFgNq4Hvf6GHKCUY9HxBlsLwZnknBw8G4GM/s1600/Pastell_Drowning_1.jpg" height="200" width="141" /></a></div>
Then I started to retouch it. There were several flaws I had to correct. The arm was way to short and just looked plain strange, so I pulled it a bit out, and created a better transition from the pink areas to the blue/grey ones. The face looked on the computer monitor very strange so I adjusted the nose, the shape of the face and the eyes. I also corrected the shoulder- and nuchal-area. Oh, and the mouth, to give her an overall friendlier expression.<br />
When that was done I finally could turn to the colur adjustements, which always are a lot of fun. I pushed the blue a bit anddesaturated the pink. I think, I highlited the white, too.<br />
And this is, what it looked like in the end:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought it could be interesting to collect the websites I use most frequently and prepare a list of useful links. I listed them in accordance to their relevanz, whereby I mainly use the first two websites and fall back on the other three, if I can't find what I am looking for. Sometimes it also can be helpful to do a google image-search –just be carefull with the terms of use! Speaking of, I checked the terms of use on every website I featured in this post. But to be safe, I recommend to check them yourself again!!</b></span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<a href="http://www.cgtextures.com/">CGTextures</a></h3>
CGTextures
is probably the most famous website providing textures. They are free
for personal and commercial use, credits or links are appreciated but
they are not required (<a href="http://www.cgtextures.com/content.php?action=license">CGTextures License</a>). You need to make an account if you want to download images, but since it does not cost anything, it isn't a big deal at all. You can probably find almost everything on here. <br />
<br />
<h3>
<a href="http://www.photos-public-domain.com/">Photos Public Domain</a> </h3>
A website hosting royalty free photographs, images, pictures and clipart for any use including commercial. To me mostly the paper textures are interesting. For example the <a href="http://www.photos-public-domain.com/2011/12/01/light-yellow-paper-texture-with-flecks/">light yellow paper texture with flecks</a>, which I used on<a href="http://kuckenburg.blogspot.de/2014/09/marf-productions-monthly-challenge.html"> the pumpkin whisperer</a>. Furthermore the resolutions are very high and you do not have to create an account to download the images.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<a href="http://freestocktextures.com/">Free Stock Textures</a></h3>
This one was mainly interesting to me for its grunge textures. The terms of use are similar to the above two websites. So you are allowed to use the images for both personal and commercial
purposes, but are not allowed to sell or redistribute these textures in any form. You do not need to create an user account!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<a href="http://texturez.com/">Texturez</a></h3>
Not my favourite texture resource site, but they have some nice <a href="http://texturez.com/textures/grunge">grunge images</a>. The images are royalty free and you can use them for commercial and non-commercial purposes. No account required.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<a href="http://www.lovetextures.com/">Love Textures</a></h3>
I'm not really digging this sites layout, since you can not search for categorys, only with keywords. Therefore the search is more time consuming and not very efficient. But when you do find an image, it has a good quality and high resolution. No account required and free for personal and commercial use!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Step1.</h3>
Search for inspiraton. In this case I already new, what I wanted do draw. It can help to keep a inspiration-folder on your computer, or, in my case, on a external hard disc drive. So if you have problems finding a motif, you can go through it and maybe end up with a new idea.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Step2.</h3>
Then I did some raw sketches. As soon as I was satisfied with the pose, I transfered the sketch to transparent paper, flipped it, drew the lines on the back, too (with a smooth pencil, I think it was B6), flipped it again and placed it on a fresh new paper, where I traced the sketch again. This way I didn't get it mirror-inverted. I do this often when I am away from home (and the light table), or when it are simple things I want to transfer and I am too lazy, to get it out for that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8YStB-Tfg1kG7LyE9oDITo3Q55hO3AfKlaY2j1G2h7McNkxVkkmbb1y7CxRPuCkMmyXC4xXip62FcWs03HCI7kEbioATtvCeAsEU9femM5diNETpHlY_m6ELIeVrzb6EoiI1OsHkWvAU/s1600/DSC00104.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8YStB-Tfg1kG7LyE9oDITo3Q55hO3AfKlaY2j1G2h7McNkxVkkmbb1y7CxRPuCkMmyXC4xXip62FcWs03HCI7kEbioATtvCeAsEU9femM5diNETpHlY_m6ELIeVrzb6EoiI1OsHkWvAU/s1600/DSC00104.JPG" height="200" width="61" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijj4uvM2iTh-WqtBpdGykyzs5eduKn6v5JZ1qlII0NdmnM7ReCIKctqLpVpOHTJP77rNzPIiLWgu1AdJjvRrbTGydshCp7ur2jylg8xxPsX3ijKVtaTnUXie47eZwdmh0WRuXth3AMI_w/s1600/DSC00105.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijj4uvM2iTh-WqtBpdGykyzs5eduKn6v5JZ1qlII0NdmnM7ReCIKctqLpVpOHTJP77rNzPIiLWgu1AdJjvRrbTGydshCp7ur2jylg8xxPsX3ijKVtaTnUXie47eZwdmh0WRuXth3AMI_w/s1600/DSC00105.JPG" height="200" width="115" /></a></div>
<br />
At this point I decided it would be helpful, if I planned enough space, to fold the paper later and glue it to the back of the drawing, so it would be more resilient (also mirrord stuff looks cool and is fun to do). Then I simply started working out the details.<br />

The bookshelf in the back was a bit more time consuming, although I had decded to go with a less detailed (no illustrated bookspines) version. Since I had bought a box, where I wanted to place the items, I used the boxes measurements. <br />

When the drawings were finished, I glued enother sheet of paper (or flipped the paper, when enough space) to the back to enhance stability. Then I cut the items out, sparing a little part that was supposed to help the pieces stand. <br />

I decided to work with oilpaint in this challenge. I wanted to experiment with thick brushstrokes and less clear figures.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Step1.</h3>
I find it important to paint on a coloured canvas so no white spots lurk through the paint. That is why my first step always is to put a undercoat on the canvas. Therefor I often use a dark brown colour, because it does not grab too much attention. Also it is a middletone and allows you to work into light and dark areas.<br />
Colourful underpaintings however can be very appealing, too. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KeitaMorimotoPainting/photos_stream" target="_blank">Keita Morimoto</a> is a very good example of that. On deviantart I have seen some people use red underpaintings when they wanted to paint a mainly green picture. A underpainting in the complementary colour of your maincolour can help the colours to pop out more. <br />
For the five studies I used both, brown and colourful underpaintings.<br />
In this example I used yellow and black to create a very desaturated brown. Normally I work with actual brown paint, but I did not have my acrylics at hand and the shop did not have any brown colours. I used a very thick, flat and old brush to spread the paint. It is important to not use too much paint, so the texture of the canvas still is visible and the paint does not take too long too dry.<br />

Step 2. </h3>
As soon as the acrylic paint was dry, I started to work with the oilpaint. I used very cheap paint for the colour variety. I bought bigger and more expensive paint tubes of the colours I use more frequently (mainly white and different browns). As a thinner I used Diluent N from Schminke. Till now this is the medium I am most satisfied with. But working with thinner is not very healthy, so you should remenber to always work with a open window or, even better, outside. A while ago I also started to use rubber gloves, because the thinner dries out your skin and the constant washing after painting is not very good to your skin, either.<br />
The brushes I used were very unexpensive, too. Most of them are not made of real hair. I would recommend not to use expensive brushes with oilcolours. The chemicals dry the brush out and destroy it. Often I can only use a brush 3-5 time with oilcolours until it is wasted.<br />

<h3>
Step 3. </h3>
I searched my vacation-folders for nice environmental pictures.<br />
These are the references I used confronted with the finished studies.<br />
<br />
I used a dark brownish underpainting. Then applied thin oilcolours with a medium-sized brush, defining the composition. I then used the palette knife to create interesting textures, more kontrast and nice saturated-looking colours. <br />

Both following works were painted on a dark brown underpainting, too, the second one being a bit lighter and warmer. Both paintings are very small and were finished pretty fast, aproximately in 1-2 hours each. I used a medium-sized brush. At the beginning I used a lot of thinner and, when the composition was clear, worked with very thick and dry paint to create nice texure effects (this is where the canvas-texture comes in handy).<br />

The process on this one was simillar to the both above, except the underpainting was a bright orange and the canvas is about three times as big.<br />

The final Illustration</h3>
This one took forever and gave me a rather hard time. The canvas is about Din A2 big, which is a very unusual size to me. At the beginning I tried to paint mainly with large brushes, creating a abstract look. That did not go very well, I changed the composition while working, and finally, after a day of frusration, I used the palette knife. I am still not completely happy with it, but the palette knive textures help a lot and now I feel it is ok to upload it. The light beige in the background is acutally white, but I had to take a picture in the night, only having a few lightsources in the room. I am going to take another picture in the daylight next weekend.<br />

I have to admit, that I have no clue yet what I want to do. But it is probably going to be a little piece with not that much details, due to a lot of university-stuff going on.<br />
Nevertheless I am looking forward to it. I remember using ballpoint pens for drawings a few years ago and it was a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Step</b> <b>1. </b></span></b></h3>
After I scraped my plans several times I finally decided to realise an idea I was having in mind for some time now. It is about a boy who can talk to pumpkins, a so called pumpkin whisperer. There is a little story to it that I am hopefully going to share soon, when I am done with university duties and have more time.<br />
<br />
The steps I take are pretty much the same every time. At the beginning I made some pencil scribbles. In my head I had imagined the boy and the pumpkin drawn from the side without any perspective. While drawing I realised, that a low angle perspective would be way more interesting and give the piece a nice and mighty atmosphere. This first sketches were as big as the palm of my hand.<br />

<br />
<h3>
<b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Step</b> <b>2. </b></span></b></h3>
When I had found the composition I wanted to go for, I made another sketch about three times as big, trying to figure out how to accomplish the difficult perspective. The left hand and arm turned out to be especially difficult, considering that the hand is a lot nearer to the viewer than the body.<br />
<br />
I did not work with a fotoreference in this one. I did however research hoodie folds, mens faces from a low angle perspective and pumpkins. I also worked a lot with my mirror, especially concerning the hand problem.<br />

<b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Step</b> <b>3. </b></span></b></h3>
After that I transferred the sketch to the final paper. It is a light beige coloured card in A4. I did not have my lighttable at hand so I did a completely new sketch, getting the last changes in. <br />
As you can see, I did a very detailed pencil drawing. This part is up to yourself, it is more of a personal preference or the
way you feel that day. Because ballpoint pen is permanent and I have not
worked with it in a long time I felt rather insecure about the actual drawing process, so I wanted to take no chances.<br />
<br />
Later I discovered that working on pencil lines with ballpoint pen is rather annoying, because the graphite kind of gets stuck in the ball and no ink is released at all. Which was pretty annoying because I had to draw constantly on a seperate paper to get the colour flowing again. So, either use a lighttable and do not sketch with pencil at all, or just sketch very lightly and use the art eraser to take all the spare graphite away.<br />

Ink it. (Be careful, ballpointpen tends to make unwanted dots and strokes, so clean your pen on an other piece of paper every now and then.)<br />

Scan it, photoshop it and upload it to the MARF Challenge folder.<br />
Because my scanner tends to kill anything that looks like a papertexture, I added a <a href="http://www.photos-public-domain.com/2011/12/01/light-yellow-paper-texture-with-flecks/" target="_blank">free papertexture</a> from the internet to give it more of a natural feeling. Also I adjusted the moon and the stars a little bit.<br />

And that was it. I hope you enjoyed this months challenge, I certainly did.<br />
Have a wonderful next month with the new challenge topic:<br />
Fashionillustration with collage elements like feathers, petals, different papers, and so on.<br />

Jana wrote a few words about everything new on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MARFproductions">facebook-page</a>.<br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><i><span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">"Okay,
prepare for some text … (and some English. Because of reasons (Which is
a legit argument. I learned that in school. Politics, I think.))<br />
Right. Maren and me had a talk about our monthly challenges and came to
the conclusion, that it would be much more fun, if we could motivate
other people (that's you, glorious reader) to join the jolly mess.<br /> <br /> So some things that will change: <br /> <br /> We'll introdu<span class="text_exposed_show">ce
our challenges at the beginning of the month (This will also include
tutorials or artists we've been inspired by) and conclude the challenge
not only by our artworks, but with a small blog about the challenge,
what we learned about it and a work in progress, so that interested
folks might benefit, too. It's all about fun and learning, isn't it?
(That's a lie of course. It's only for our personal amusement and egos.
So there.)<br /> In case you get inspired and work that paint and paper, you might just as well share it with the world (us, that is)...<br /> <br /> Plus: We'd love to hear from you! Got inspired by something? Found a super cool new technique you want to try? <br /> Just want to be mean and see how we manage a mural made of butterfly wings? Bring it on!<br /> <br /> (Or do you have questions for us? Ideas? Hate mail? (We never got hate mail before. Have the honour and be the first …))<br /> <br /> So far, so good … <br /> <br />
A great week end to all of you magnificent people that stayed with me
to the end of this little piece of writing (and to everybody else too,
but I really don't care that much if their sunshine will be blocked out
by heavy grey clouds.) May you not be eaten by the monsters (Unless you
really want to. I hope it's fun, then.).<br /> <br /> Go draw a pretty flower.<br /> Or a banana.<br /> or something."</span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
Alright, lets get to the challenge-topic! Or should I say topics, because the
topics of the next three months will all concern the italian artist Marco Mazzoni. His work is very inspiring and thematically circle around fantastic creatures and surreal portraits. His most frequently used tools of trade are coloured pencils
(sometimes combined with ink) and the ballpoint pen.<br />

<br />
<h3>
<b>Step 1. </b></h3>
Brainstorming, first sketches, finding ideas.<br />
What
are you interested in at the moment? What fits the medium? I did not
have a clue, what I wanted to draw for a long time. When we have
artist-based topics I always try not to copy the artist too much, so it
still turns out to be something from me that I can identify with. <br />

<br />
<h3>
<b>Step 2.</b></h3>
Search
for reference-pictures. In this case I made one myself. It is a really
crappy phone-picture taken with bad illumination. But it is enough to get an
impression of the proportions and the perspective. When I have a reference, I
pick the things that I like and decide, what I want to enhance or even
exaggerate while I will ignore the things I do not like, and so on. A reference
helps in the process but you should not try to copy it completely. Later I took another picture to decide where to set the shades and started to outline. <br />

<h3>
<b>Step 3.</b></h3>
When you have decided on the composition and have layed down the sketch, you are ready to work on the details. Start to build up the picture, as if it was meant to be a detailed black and white drawing. Elaborate the shading and set contrasts. At this point I made some mistakes, because I was not really sure where the picture was heading. A better planning would have saved me a lot of time. On the other hand, during the process I come up with new ideas. While the picture is changing, the vision of it in my head is adapting in parallel.<br />

<br />
<h3>
<b>Step 4.</b></h3>
Start colouring the black shading. At the beginning I worked with Faber Castell's. I already had them before the challenge. I really like to work with them, because you can use them with water colours as well. While working with them on the black drawing, I discovered that they are not suitable for this technique. They were not smooth enough and there did no stay enough colour on the page to cover up the black underlying colour. Later, when I was almost done with the picture, I bought a set of polychromos. Till then I had not really considered buying them, because they are high-priced and I usually do not work with coloured pencils that much (also they are waterproof and therefore not suitable to work with water colours). But you do indeed see the difference while working with them. They are very smooth and the colours pop.<br />
<br />
You can follow my changes of mind about the composition in the various steps postet here. I
wanted to have a black background with a character with creepy black eyes
that shimmer in the light. But when I started to add colours later, I
realised that the huge black area was killing the rest of the picture,
because it was so uniform and not organic at all. So I erased as much as possible, with black stains remaining and coloured the background in a light blue that transformed into a dark blue and light black. Also I worked on the eyes and finally decided to go with very simpel blue eyes, so they would contrast to the detailed feathers. <br />

<h3>
<b>Step 6.</b></h3>
The last step: Let the Photoshop-magic happen. It is very rare that I scan something and it looks the way it does in real. So I always use Photoshop, if only to set my logo on the piece.<br />
At this point I also pimped the colours a bit and tried to cover the white gap between the two pages by using the stamp-tool.<br />

In total I spent about 10 full work days time on this picture, which is rather a lot. If I worked more often this way, I am sure that I would learn to speed up the process. Nevertheless, I am very impressed of Mazzonis continous production of beautiful coloured pencils pictures in a very short amount of time.<br />
Furthermore, I think this technique is not that easy to master. You should consider spending some of your money on polychromos, they just work better than cheaper pencils and bring the colours out. First start with little pieces, maybe size A6. Marco Mazzoni sometimes does work in this little size, too. It will limit the frustration that comes with a never-ending detailed work, which is even more essential to beginners. I had to learn to finish pieces, too, so do not burden yourself with too much at the start.<br />

<br />
Trogglers are a species that is very skilled in working with babys. Trogglers carry the children in their mouth, where they are kept safe and warm at body temperature. In this way the newborn continues to be comfortable like it was in mother's womb. <br />
Trogglers love the taste of babies, but they do not eat them - the very thought of actually swallowing a baby is one of the most disgusting things a Troggler can imagine. Also, scientists discovered that the digestive system of Trogglers is not adapted to little humans or any other kind of meat as a food source. So, even if putting a baby into the mouth of a Troggler might seem like a dangerous thing to do, a Troggler's tongue actually is a very comfortable and delightful place for a baby. Interestingly enough, small children love the smell of Troggler saliva; it seems to calm them down. The saliva in combination with the gentle wiggle of the Trogglers tongue is a perfekt way to ensure the babie's wellbeing and good sleep.<br />
A further benefit is the automatic rain protection based on Troggler's reflexes. They puff up their bottom lip with their mouth closed in wet and windy weather. The stretched lip skin becomes transparent so that the baby can look outside while being shielded from the rain. Trogglers are friendly and good company comparable to the family dog. Their service areas include baby transport, protection and care as well as amusement.<br />
<br />
They are available for hire in many children's clothing and hardware stores as well as bike and car rental agencies. When you hire a Troggler, the special Troggler-buggy is automatically included. Car seats are also for rent, but do not fit into every vehicle (SUVs and Vans only).<br />

Some of them I will not read anymore. I have seen some awesome book- and printed paper-recycling in the internet and I decided to make myself a litte sketchbook using such an old book.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Here is some inspiration, check it out:<br />

I took pictures of the process, so, if you want, you can make yourself one, too.<br />It
is actually pretty simple. First you strip off the transparent foil and
the bookcover, if you like. In this case it came off with the foil. In
case it stays on you can probably use it on the book cover as a
foundation for your own artwork. Remove paper and foil from the insides
of the cover, too. Then Gesso everything to prepare the book pages for
further work. I am using Guardi Gesso. I just discovered Gesso for me,
never really heard of it before. <a href="http://checanty.blogspot.de/">Checanty</a> recommended it to me, and it
is actually pretty useful and not that expensive. <br /><br />I gessoed some
pages on the inside and started a little test-sketch with pencils. Then
I worked over it with watercolours, gouache and graphit-powder mixed
with water. After that I went over it with some transparent gel to
fixate it and prepare the surface for my acrylic markers. These markers
cover well and provide a nice sharp edge. <br /><br />

Of course I could not stop, so I ended up with a complete drawing and a few hours missing. Although I did not intend do spend so much time on it, I really like how it turned out. It looks very different to the usual stuff I do. But I do experiment a lot at the moment so I guess there is no thing like usual.<br />
<br />
I could not decide, which version I prefere. What do you think?<br />

Ich hab mal den Arbeitsprozess dokumentiert. Mir war Anfangs nicht ganz klar, in welche Richtung sich das Bild entwickeln soll. Das ist immer etwas kritisch, weil man sich dann schnell verzettelt und länger braucht als nötig. Ursprünglich wollte ich den Fernseher aus dem Referenzbild ebensowenig wie die Kleidung übernehmen. Die Variante mit dem Schriftzug hatte aber nicht die gewünschte Wirkung, also bin ich dann doch auf das TV-Gerät zurückverfallen.<br />
<br />
Generell versuche ich auch immer, die Referenz nicht eins-zu-eins zu übernehmen, sondern etwas eigenes aus dem Bild zu machen, das über bloßes "Abmalen" hinausgeht. Bei den bisherigen Trinquette Challenges war das auch ganz gut möglich, weil man neben Outfit, Umgebung und Körperbau auch das Gesicht und damit den ganzen Charakter der Person ändern konnte. Ein Tribut zu einer tatsächlichen Person schränkt in der Hinsicht dann sehr ein. Andererseits zwingt es einem zum genauen Hinsehen.<br />

(Man beachte das Gesicht... :D Ich habe echt Schwierigkeiten gehabt, ihren Geischtsausdruck zu treffen. Wenn ich die Bilder so im Vergleich sehe, finde ich fast das ursprüngliche Gesicht am schönsten -auch wenn es nicht so aussieht, wie die Vorlage... ) Maren Könighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01068823792663618020noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327583174232010113.post-68972008750863055012014-01-19T14:57:00.001+01:002014-02-24T16:45:56.989+01:00MARF ProductionsSeit längerer Zeit arbeiten <a href="http://checanty.blogspot.de/">Checanty</a> und ich immer wieder zusammen an kleinen Projekten.<br />
Und weil das so gut klappt und uns so viel Freude bereitet, wollten wir das offiziell machen, indem wir eine "Künstlergemeinschaft" gründen, inklusive gemeinsamer Webseite.<br />
<br />
Jetzt brauchten wir einen Namen -gemeinsames Brainstorming war angesagt. <br />
Wir sind dann schlussendlich bei MARF gelandet. Das ergab sich aus unseren beiden Namen - MAren könig jana heidersdoRF. Wir hatten auch andere Varianten im Kopf, u.a. MAJA, aber die schienen uns schon zu stark mit anderen Assoziationen belegt. MARF hatte dagegen etwas Neutrales, komplett Neues und deswegen auch Kultur- bzw. Sprachenunabhängiges.<br />
Productions haben wir angefügt, damit wir nicht nur auf den Illustrationssektor beschränkt sind, sondern einfach alles, das wir zusammen erstellen, dazu zählen können.<br />
<br />
<br />
Der Name stand fest, jetzt brauchten wir eine Bildmarke.<br />
Vom Klang her mussten wir an eine Motte denken. Deswegen gingen die ersten Überlegungen in diese Richtung. Durch einen Zufall sind wir dann aber auf den Kolibri gekommen. Der Kolibri ist ein Motiv, dass wir beide noch nicht wirklich benutzt haben, und dadurch ist es unabhängig. Weil wir zwei Künstlerinnen sind, wollten wir auch zwei Kolibris darstellen. Dafür bot sich der Rorschach-Stil an. Ursprünglich sollten sich die Kolibris am Schnabel spiegeln und durch ihre Form ein M ergeben.<br />
<br />
Ich habe mich dann rangesetzt und versucht, über die Abklatsch-Technik ein schönes Ergebnis zu bekommen. Das hat sich aber als sehr schwierig gestaltet, weil entweder die Tusche zu schnell getrocknet ist, oder das Papier zu schnell oder zu langsam die Flüssigkeit aufgesogen hat.<br />
Um überhaupt noch Details in das Motiv zu bekommen, habe ich mich dann entschieden, die Spiegelung am PC vorzunehmen. Da gab es dann natürlich viel mehr Möglichkeiten, die Achse, an der gespiegelt wird, zu bestimmen und auszuprobieren. Am Ende fanden wir diese Variante am passendsten. Das M erkennt man jetzt zwar nur noch, wenn es einem gesagt wird, aber dafür ist die Bildmarke sehr kompakt und stimmig.<br />
Mit Photoshop wurden dann noch Farben hinzugefügt sowie der Schriftzug.<br />

Ende letzten Jahres hatte ich die Gelegenheit, den Flyer des ersten Quartals vom <a href="http://www.depotdortmund.de/">Depot</a> in Dortmund zu gestalten. Den Auftrag erhielt ich über meinen Dozenten, Michael Thiele, von<a href="http://www.dietransformer.de/"> "die TRANSFORMER"</a>, der mich auch bei der Konzeption und Ausarbeitung unterstützt hat. Generelles Grundkonzept war es, die jeweilige Quartalszahl bildlich darzustellen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Der erste Schritt war es, Notizen und Assoziationen aufzuschreiben. Generell wollte ich auch schauen, ob ich die jeweilige Jahreszeit einbringen kann. Schlussendlich hat sich dann das Motiv eines Eisbrechers von frontal oben ergeben, aus dessen Schiffsschneise sich eine Eins bildet.</div>

Seit ein paar Wochen nehme ich an der Weekly Drawing Challenge von <a href="https://www.facebook.com/trinquettebooks?fref=ts">Trinquétte Publishing</a> teil, einem Verleger von PinUp-Büchern. Die Challenge ist darauf ausgelegt, weibliche Proportionen zu verstehen und möglichst korrekt wiederzugeben, bzw. sinnvoll zu stilisieren.<br />
Es werden mehrere Referenzfotos vorgegeben, aus denen man sich eines aussucht.<br />
Diese Pose wird in dem jeweiligen Kontext der Woche umgesetzt. <br />
Die Challenge ist ein fester Termin, an den man sich halten kann/muss, und ein Grund, etwas in einem kurzem Zeitraum fertigzustellen. Außerdem ist es eine Gelegenheit, neue Techniken auszuprobieren. Gewinnen kann man in dem Sinne nichts, es wird auch eher als Herausforderung an einen selbst verstanden. Aber wenn man die Kriterien erfüllt hat, wird man auf der facebook-Seite von Trinquette hoch geladen und bekommt dadurch zusätzliche Werbung. Außerdem hat man am Ende der Woche ein weiteres fertiges Bild und wieder etwas mehr Übung. <br />

Dabei wurden die ersten sechs Karten verlost, sowie die Karten vom Advent und die Weihnachtskarte.<br />
Die Karten vom 1. und vom 24. Dezember wurden als Maxikarten erstellt. Bei der ersten Karte stammte die Vorskizze von<a href="http://checanty.blogspot.de/"> Checanty</a>, die Ausarbeitung von mir. Bei der Weihnachtskarte war es andersherum.<br />

Für das gleiche Fach, aber nicht ganz zum gleichen Thema. Hier sollen alle Farben dargestellt werden, inklusive einer Seite "bunt" und Grautönen. Insgesamt natürlich viel weniger Aufwand als für das Fotoprojekt.<br />
<br />
Ich muss sagen, ich fühle mich immer wohler, wenn es um Fotos geht. Ich merke einfach, dass es besser klappt, und ich schon was gelernt habe. Ich habe mich vorher noch nicht wirklich mit Fotografie auseinandergesetzt. Aber es ist ein lohnenswertes Gebiet, zu dem ich gerne noch mehr lernen würde!<br />
In diesem Semester bekommen wir auch Fotografie als Fach, und ich werde mir eine neue Kamera kaufen - meine stößt gerade an ihre Grenzen. Ich würde mir auch gerne ein Makro-Objektiv kaufen, aber naja. Man soll ja nicht gierig sein...<br />
