New Drawings and a tip for scanning oil pastel work
Not one, but three new drawings of mine have been added to the Gallery!
- Doomsday — Done with oil pastels, featuring Rhona Mitra from the movie Doomsday, which I am waiting to watch.
- Banlieue 13 — Done with pencils, ballpoint pen and oil pastels, this one is based on the French action movie.
- Pusher Trilogy — Done with pencil and ballpoint pen, this one is based on the Danish Pusher crime movies, written and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.
Recently, I've done quite a few pieces with oil pastels. The first of these was this drawing based on Aliens vs Predator: Requiem. Now after I finished that, I was unsure of how to scan it, because I didn't want the pastel stuff sticking to the bed of the scanner. So I asked Varun to photograph it. That worked out fine, but the problem is that you won't be able to get a high-resolution image. The solution is to use a transparent plastic sheet. I dug out these transparent sheets which were bought several years ago, for use with OHPs (Overhead Projectors)! I placed that on the bed of the scanner, the drawing on top of that, and was able to scan at 400dpi, like my other drawings.
I will leave you with another image I did a couple of weeks back. This is the killer (Le Tueur) from the French horror movie Haute Tension (High Tension).
