Drawn in response to the prompt “Surprise” for my Materials & Techniques II class. Finally, I get to draw something cute! The technique we used involved rendering first in graphite (which I used), charcoal, or ink, and then spraying a layer of fixative in addition to paint a layer of matte medium over the drawing. We then had to paint the image using gouache. I think I might actually use this technique again sometime; I really like the softness of the effect. :)

I guess this is alright for me to talk about now since this is all over the internet as of this morning. I recently finished this poster for Mondo Posters (who I did The Innkeepers poster for) of the new Tim Burton movie “Dark Shadows”.
Unfortunately due to my humungo secret project, my time has been worn very thin of recent. So working on this poster was a nice change of pace from everything I have been doing for the last few months.
The poster will be sold in very limited numbers through Mondo’s site soon, as well as through me personally once I get my hands on some copies. So be sure to keep posted for news on that.
And as someone so casually mentioned on Ain’t It Cool News, this a very humble nod to one of my favorite paintings Friedrich’s Wanderer above the Sea of Fog.
