1 Celebrating with Whimsies Hello gorgeous one! Technique wise we're going to create some Welcome to November. Can you believe the year is almost over? I can't believe how fast whimsy characters, yay! I used the following supplies in this lesson: it's all gone! It feels sort of sad, yet also Water soluble crayons Graphite pencil Graphite crayon This month, we are continuing to reflect Collage papers back on our year and celebrate some of the Gel medium changes that we've made. If you haven't White acrylics made any big ones (I know it was tough for Rubber stamps me to find any of the big changes I had Ink pad hoped to make) then celebrate just the Dylusions Ink Spray small ones, like for instance, I managed to Black fine pen do some exercise here and there, even Q-tip/ Ear bud good because I really feel we've accomplished something! :) though I had hoped to do a lot more. Still I'm celebrating these small changes too. :)

2 Before we start, let's practise a bit of 2. Using simplistic shapes: rectangles whimsical drawing. 2 Things that make for bodies, simple circles for heads things more whimsical looking are: etc. 1. Distortion/ Exaggeration of features: So let's give it a practise on a separate piece ie: larger heads/ smaller mouths/ of paper. Try out all sorts of combinations noses/ round head shapes, more and feature placements. See what happens elongated head shapes etc. when you place the eyes higher in the face or lower in the face etc. Which look do you like best?

3 Drawing your Whimsy Step 3. Her legs too were simple little things pointing slightly inward. Step 1. Because I wanted my character to be exactly centred and I'm a bit OCD when it comes to centred stuff, I drew a line through the exact middle of my page. You don't have to do this at all, but it helps if you also want to centre your character. Step 4. I placed her arms up into the air as if she was cheering and gave her hands with fingers. Though hands without fingers are totally cool for whimsy creatures. Step 2. I then started building my character around the centre line. I used an [almost] perfect circle for the head, left out a neck and a simple shaped body.

4 Step 5. I placed my character's eyes Step 8. Started work on her hair and midway the face, but you may want to play added some cheeks. with placing them higher or lower (this goes for all the features). Step 9. I have a love of bearhats lately, so this one HAD to have a bear hat too! :) Step 6. Her nose and mouth were placed quite low in the face, close to the chin, again, you may prefer a different placement. Play! :) Step 10. I added accessories to her clothes like buttons/ pockets/ bows/ collars. Step 7. I started 'building' up her eyes.

5 salmon or pink salmon as a first layer. I often use a pink or rose pink for the darker areas. I may or may not use: 'orange-ish yellow'/ 'ochre'/ 'russet'. I tend to use 'raspberry' for the mouth and cheeks (these are the watercolour crayon colours/ names). Lately, I've come to incorporate a tiny hint of blue in the skin tone and I often drag the Step 11. I decided she should have 2 little critter friends. So sketched them in by her legs. eye colour into the skin as well. Ha! The message here really is: find your own preferred way of layering your skin tones, experiment, play. Eventually you'll find something that really resonates with you. :) Shading your Whimsy Step 1. The way I shade my whimsies is the same way I shade my portraits. Funnily enough I follow a different shading pattern almost every time. I don't stick to the same colours, although I do have some I always come back to. For info: I always use a

6 Step 2. I applied a light layer of salmon Step 4. I added in some light blue in the crayon to her face and activated it with a areas where you expect the darker shading brush. to be. Step 3. I used orangish yellow and pinks to build up the darker shading areas. You Step 5. I added colour to her eyes and can take the paint straight off the crayon dragged some of that colour into the with your brush, or you can apply the surrounding areas for extra shading. crayon to the paper first whichever suits you more. Step 6. I used raspberry for her lips, cheeks and some of the extra shading on the face too.

7 Step 7. Use white acrylics and a thin Step 9. I used a fine black pen to darken brush to add highlights to the eyes, nose up the pupils and outer lines of the iris. bridge, bottom lip, chin and forehead. (And resisted the urge to outline everything else, but gave in later, argh! ;)) Step 8. Go back in with your graphite pencil to firm up some of the detail you may have lost while painting. The graphite Creating a Collage Dress pencil is also awesome for adding more shading where you feel the character needs it. I wanted to collage her dress with a cool vintage/ dotted scrapbooking paper. Here's how I did it: Step 1. I use a transparency film but if you have it, use: transparent paper, to outline her dress onto. (I couldn't find my transparent paper, so film works too, but paper is easier).

8 Step 3. I cut out the dress and glued it down onto her body. Step 2. I placed a piece of tracedown or tracing paper (which has graphite on one side) face down onto the vintage paper and traced over the dress I had drawn earlier onto the transparency film. The Background You'll see that I struggled with parts of creating this particular background. This was mostly because I used a dark spray that I don't normally use. I stuck with it though and wanted to share my 'how to clean up messes' process so that you can see that not all is lost if this ever happens to you! I was in the end pretty happy with the outcome, while at some point I considered abandoning the whole thing! :) Lesson: never give up! :o))

9 Step 1. I cut out some 'bunting'/ 'flags' out of some music score paper (to go with the celebration theme). Step 4. I toned down the dark brown with some white acrylics (golden fluid in this Step 2. I tore up more collage papers and case). laid them out and glued down. Step 3. I then used some Dylusions spray and sprayed it onto the background. Turned out this was too dark for my liking really, the beginning of my problem, but hey! I wanted to go with brown and brown it was indeed! Be aware that sprays are much less forgiving than the crayons. Go carefully with sprays (another lesson learned!) :) Step 5. We take a small break from background doing and added some colour to the hair and colour to the hat. Step 6. And the legs needed stripes, of course!

10 around her with a yellowish orange. Step 6. And her legs needed stripes, of course. :) Step 8. I brought back the bunting/ flags with some crayon and graphite. Step 7. Ok, back to the background, what am I going to do with that muddy background? Mh, first: whimsy girl needs to stands out a bit more. I added an 'aura'

11 Step 9. I created a floor/ ground onto which Step 12. White dots with q-tip to finish the whimsy and her critters were standing. background off added more variety, 'sparkle' and again: more contrast. Step 10. Background too dull, needed more contrast, so I added black stars (my fav), however, they were pretty dark, so I dulled them down with a bit of white acrylics too. Step 13. Don't forget the critters! Because I had lost a lot of their definition I add a white layer of acrylics back on to them (you may want to use gesso instead, it responds better to crayons). And then shaded them both. Step 11. I added a dark brown border around the entire page helping it to feel contained and adding more contrast. Finished!! Ta-da!

12 Now let's go make some whimsies! Lots of love, Tam xoxo Lovely bunch, this is officially my last 'artsy' lesson for this Life Book year. Next month, my lesson will be all about how we are going to bind our books. Soooo, I feel a bit sad about this being my last art lesson, but also: SO excited to hopefully be seeing some of your books! :)) Thank you all so much for being on this journey with me this year.
