I hate to say it, but the only reason I made this picture is that I wanted to experiment with a grainy wash background. I must admit I'm really liking the layering affect. Someone (who?) whose blog I've looked at recently said something about her backgrounds being fortuitous, and the composition being deliberate. I guess this is all pretty sketchy (and by all means I should actually DRAW the whole thing first before going nuts on the ink, or you'll end up with two parts of an accordion that don't really fit together.)
Oh, I love the effect! What rich creamy depth! I love what you do with ink!
ReplyDeleteThe accordian gels very well with the intricate background which appears musical to me ;). Beautiful!!
ReplyDeletewell it's worked beautifully...
ReplyDeleteThis background is great,very good job!Thank you for visiting me!
ReplyDeleteI lOve those textures you've created in the drawing, it works really well. I often get inspired by a technique then the subject follows. Sometimes this works fro the better like this one!x
ReplyDeleteThe background technique came out really nicely. I really like how his hair flows with the background lines--very musical and breezy.
ReplyDeleteLove the movement in his hair. It's as if the music is washing over him. Really lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe background matches so well with him. I agree, there is music in it :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful portrayal of the accordionist. The figure plays beautifully against an ink wash background.
