Done with traditional pen and ink from a previous sketch. Submission to SCBWI bulletin.
Dinosaur Valentine
Happy Valentines day.
Wings
Quick illustration for Illustration Friday Challenge “wings”.
Created in Corel Painter using the basic pencil tool and a little of the pen and ink tool. I usually do my sketching in some other color than black. It is a habit I still use when I am doing traditional sketches and do some of my under-drawing with col-erase pencils.
Hope you like.
Horse Sketch Digital
This is a digital sketch using Corel Painter and the Pen tool. I am amazed at how quickly and easily I can render something that looks so much like traditional pen and ink in a digital format.
I did use a Cintiq for this, and found that I am able to get a wide range of pressure sensitive strokes.
Digital Cricket
Created the sketching in sketchbook pro. Took the sketch into Corel Painter. Added color.
Just an idea for a character in a children’s book.
Runner up Tomie dePaola award
This picture was a runner up for the 2013 Tomie dePaola award from SCBWI.
Here is the quote from Tomie dePaola:
“Stephen Ingram’s illustration from the Yearling was heartbreaking. I can’t imagine the reader not tearing up.”
I am very excited to receive this honor and it was incredibly fun to do the illustration. I used traditional pen and ink and Arches hot press watercolor paper.
SCBWI Boot Camp
SCBWI Boot Camp with presenter Mary Kole and Anita Nolan.
The workshops were informative and I came away with fresh approaches for my character and story, and hopefully a better pitch.
I found the critique with Ariel Colletti insightful, and I will be taking her advice in shaping my story.
The venue at The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen was great. What an amazing building.
Thanks SCBWI. Great program.
Pen and Ink and Watercolor
Pen and Ink illustration with watercolor on Arches paper. 12 x 32. Loved doing the background with layers of color to bring out the shapes.
