The Birds and the Bees

Michele B. Naquaiya

Here is a little sketch I did of a young girl, being completely at ease in nature. She is surrounded by the things she loves…mainly birds and honey bees.

This composition got its composition from my prompt. It got its color by adding one of my Yupo hand drawn background papers as seen below. The background color paper was the basic palette and I included the blue bird with an additional prompt. What I really like was the way the colors blended so softly and the blue becomes a focal point. She looks like she loves her little friend.

Adding a surprise element like this colorful copic marker art on Yupo paper can add a dramatic effect. The drawing was quick and effective. The mysterious colors blended beautifully with the sketch. I like to combine things that you are not sure will work together. That’s one magic trick in AI.

A young girl is in a garden environment with a tree, flowers and some exotic and imaginary birds.  This watercolor has been so much fun drawing in pencil and then coloring with my travel watercolor palette.  She just seems to fit this place.
enjoy seeing her on my products.

Here is another zentangle from my collection of pen and ink little drawings that I am digitally drawing and painting to finish them ON THE WACOM.  This one was a real experience because I guess it’s a shock to experience the vivid and true color on the cintiq tablet and  see the paler version  on the internet.  On the web the colors look pale to me.

To say the least I spent many hours on this and I worked it through and reworked it trying to learn how I could have done it easier.
