Melancholia (an Homage to Bev Langby)
This is an homage to Bev Langby’s Paloma/After Picasso . This was created for the Pick an Homager, Make an Homage challenge in the Let’s Pay Homage group. This was a lot of fun to do. It was done with layers upon layers of textures in the background with lots of blending modes, and then the outline of a lady on top of all of that. Hope you enjoy this, as I was definately inspired by Bev’s work. Hop on over to her profile and check her’s out too :)
By the way this is completely digital and done with a pen tablet.
Voted 7th in the top 10 of the DRAWINGS/SKETCH’S ONLY- This is for ARTIST who SKETCH challenge in the Bits and Pieces group
Received 10th place in the top 10 of the textures challenge of the ‘You Big Softy’ group
