Encroaching Night

The unicorn looks a bit odd because I tried using some glow in the dark paint over it (well, also I messed it up a bit). The glow in the dark didn’t show up very well and I can’t get a good picture of it. But the stars looked kind of decent, so I think if I ever do more night sky paintings again that will by my go-to secret accent.

Anyhow, this is a gift for a friend that likes unicorns.

Haven’t done one in years, so figured I would give it a shot. With the first attempt, everything was horribly misaligned so I scrapped that and did a second one laying a grid over the picture I was using and the paper I was using. It was a lot easier from there.

Still, after staring at my face for about 4 to 5 hours, I feel like I am all forehead.

I kind of feel like the way I usually draw with pencils doesn’t fully utilize the advantages the tan paper I was using can give either… so I’m going to have to draw something trying a different method. This time a not-me picture though.
