for Balloon Therapy. This project is teaching me a lot.
Here are four things I learned today:
Keep characters consistent in appearance.
I had an acquaintance several years ago who
was a costumer for movies. She took photos
of the characters in every scene so that if they had to
re-shoot a scene they knew exactly how each
character was styled. I was reminded of that when I
forgot to illustrate Daisy's messenger bag in the
illustrations with the cab. I added it after realizing.
Be sure your paper and materials are harmonious.
The paper from the sketchbook has a strange reaction
to the watercolor pencil, almost like it has a waxy coating.
(For projects for clients I use Arches.)
Another tip, always be sure you have enough of the same
quality paper to complete the project!
While examining the previous paintings I thought it
would have been really funny to have the cat's eyes
peering in through the mail slot. Oops! Just saw that
I forgot the mail slot...Keep environments consistent
looking as well as characters!
I'm really happy with how the last two panels look.
This has been fun! Join me next week to see how this
party goes. You are officially invited. :)Rachel
P.S. It's fun to tie in elements from earlier in the
story, Daisy's dress is from the little shop she went into!
