Okay, okay... Bad play on words. A few weeks back, if someone had told me that creating a blurry bokeh background with colour pencils is a challenge, I wouldn't have believed them. I now can personally confirm... It's a nightmare! What took hours upon hours of colouring and blending (rinse and repeat, "ad nauseum") would've taken me just a few minutes with my airbrush. Unfortunately, this is meant to be a "drawing" for this year's EKKA, and I cannot use paints in conjunction with pencils; it has to be solely drawing mediums. Those are the rules. There is still a bit of work to be done on the right hand side, but I will touch it up later. Contrast will need to be readjusted once the main subject has been drawn in, anyway... So now, on with the branch and bird! |

I am pleased to announce that all four bonus cards are now finished and the Expanded Deck (40 cards) will be made available for purchase very shortly. Also, I have received many requests from previous buyers of the Traditional Deck (36 cards) to make the 4 bonus cards available for purchase on their own, so I have included this option as well.
Visit the Viking Lenormand blog for more details.
