I'm trying to use Buncho Oil Pastel color which is typically hard oil pastel, but it is cheaper. The way of coloring and blending is also different from the softer oil pastel like the one that art students use. in order to get used with this oil pastels , I did some oil pastel coloring practice ... and here's another practice stuff... "An apple a day keeps the doctor away Apple in the morning - Doctor's warning Roast apple at night - starves the doctor outright Eat an apple going to bed - knock the doctor on the head Three each day, seven days a week - ruddy apple , ruddy cheek"

Mabok Kepayang CD Artworks

Image
Previously, I did an initial sketch of the Mabok Kepayang art . Then I work on it digitally using my Wacom Tablet and GIMP. The digital painting at first, looks realistic where it is not what Zoy expect. He just expecting me to do a simple pencil sketch. I did the digital painting because of some comments on my previous initial sketch where they wanna see it coloured. After some fixes, to reduce the realism in the digital painting and position the art on the right location, here is the final output of the Dewangga Sakti - Mabok Kepayang CD artwork. All works are done using my Ubuntu Hardy Heron Laptop, GIMP - GNU Image Manipulation Program and Inkscape Vector Graphics Editor. Thanks to Dewangga Sakti for honoring me to design their CD inlay, tray card and overlay. . By the way, here is the digital painting output before it is placed on the CD layout.
