New Project: Small Tapestry of Set
4:40 pm


This is on pale gray 20 count aida canvas

I began this piece back in March of last year. It got set aside (pun intended?). It is based on an artwork I did in 2008:


A little darker than the original digital piece...

But then I changed it up a bit:


Placing him in a sunset scene...


And here he is, mostly outlined, correcting the arc of the hair lines...
(And I decided he needs shoulders.)

Sunset sky and border progress:
Sky:DMC 602 & 3853
