Alene Illustration: December 2014

http://alene-art.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, December 30, 2014. A look back at 2014. I thought I should write an epic post to reflect on the past year. It's been a busy and eventful year for me – I've had my first picture book published and completed over 268 blackline master illustrations, with my work now featuring in over 50 publications for ReadyEd. I've worked on wedding stationary and Christmas cards, and I'm currently in the draft stages for another picture book. I'm looking forward to an even better and more exciting year in 2015!

Alene Illustration: March 2015

http://alene-art.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 21, 2015. I was watching Tony Robinson's Walking Through History. The other day, and as he was in Pembrokshire he touched on the story of Nest ferch Rhys. C1085–1136) who is commonly referred to as The Helen of Wales. I'd not heard of her before, and thought she had an interesting story, so used her as a topic for a sketch. I used a number of sources, but here's. I coloured it up for Colour Collective on Twitter. I like my sketch better, I think, but this isn't too bad:. Links to this post.

Alene Illustration: Easter Dragon

http://alene-art.blogspot.com/2015/04/easter-dragon.html

Sunday, April 26, 2015. This is the Colour Collective picture I did three weeks ago, for the Emerald Green challenge (and then promptly forgot to blog about). Since it was Easter at the time, I decided to give this picture a bit of an Easter vibe – but I also wanted to do an emerald green dragon, so I compromised:. This is Adobe Photoshop CC over a pencil sketch, with some Japanese paper textures behind. I didn't have very long to spend on it, so I didn't attempt anything too elaborate.

Alene Illustration: April 2015

http://alene-art.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 26, 2015. I've been very busy, but I couldn't pass up the gorgeous Alizarin Crimson that was this week's Colour Collective theme, so I snatched a few hours to do a little picture. I didn't want to do anything complicated, as I was essentially using this as R and R, so I chose to do a little picture of Belle in Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bête. 1946), which is one of the most gorgeous films ever. Here's a look at the scene this dress appears in:. Adobe Photoshop CC with a Wacom Intuos 5.

Alene Illustration: Watercolour: Fairy

http://alene-art.blogspot.com/2015/04/watercolour-fairy.html

Sunday, April 26, 2015. When the Colour Collective theme turned up as Cobalt Turquoise Light, I knew I had to do a watercolour for it, as that is a colour I have had in my watercolour box for years, and although it's not my most neglected colour, it doesn't get enough love. I thought it was a good colour for a fairy, so I grabbed one from a recent sketchbook page, transferred it to watercolour paper, inked and painted it:. Here's the original sketch:.

Alene Illustration: September 2014

http://alene-art.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 21, 2014. Wow, long time no post! I've been very busy with things exciting and not so exciting, and have really had my nose to the grindstone. However, I had a few weeks from absolute hell and decided I needed to do something personal and pointless, as stress relief, otherwise I absolutely would not. Be able to cope. When I saw the Doctor Who episode Robots of Sherwood. I decided that Clara and her pretty dress would make a good subject. What I really didn't. Links to this post. Follow ...

Alene Illustration: October 2014

http://alene-art.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 20, 2014. I spent some time demonstrating at the Kelmscott Show on Saturday – I spent about 3.5 – 4 hours demonstrating portraiture, and about 2 – 2.5 hours demonstrating needle felting. I decided to felt a penguin, as that is an easy shape and I really only had to take three colours with me – black, grey and white. Here are some more photos of the finished penguin:. Merino wool with polyester stuffing core. I used a variety of felting needles, and plastic beads for the eyes.
