Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Messing around with colours. I was trying to focus on colours, light and atmosphere in a painter's way instead of my usual sketch/design approach. I am somewhat rusty. I wasn't expecting the sky going so Turner like in the bottom right corner. The girl's name isn't Lucy by the way.

They're up to no good, I'm sure.
Still messing around with photoshop brushes. Last month I've done some young characters so I thought it would be interesting to follow with some old guys...

Fluffy Baby Camel

And here's the fluffy baby camel: obviously not one of the hot North African deserts, this guy belongs to cold mountains, Mongolia, perhaps.

I've thought it could be interesting to add the original sketch as a comparison base...

And a mermaid...

So for those ones I was thinking to do another color study as the last ones but I quite liked the worn out marker aspect (the bevel marker I was using at the time had just reached the right point: pity you can't keep it that way for very long).

So I decided to go for a Baskt approach instead ;)

Random color and basic shapes studies.

Here are some little things I've done lately in order to experiment with some new brushes I've found for photoshop. I used as a base some quick doodles with very basic shape variations:

A little Emo princess for a start

This one turns out to have a definite Mary Blair's feeling

While this one is more of a Maxfield Parrish's tribute.

Back to Mary Blair.

And the last one which I kept quite geometric has a color scheme that reminds me strongly of Song of the Sea.
