WHILE I WAS STALKING PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK (SHUT UP! YOU DO IT TOO!) I RAN ACROSS A PICTURE OF MY FRIEND SASKIA DRESSED UP AS A FUNKY COS-PLAY VERSION OF MICKEY MOUSE. THE PICTURE WAS SO FUN THAT I SAVED IT WITH PLANS TO USE IT FOR INSPIRATION IN THE FUTURE. I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO IT AND I THINK THE PIECE TURNED OUT REALLY GREAT!!!(if i do say so myself)
I ALSO DECIDED TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO FOR A WHILE, WHICH IS SLAP TOGETHER A LIL' HOW-TO OF MY CREATIVE PROCESS FOR MAKING A DRAWING. THAT WAY ALL YOU KIDS CAN GET A PEEK INSIDE MY TWISTED BRAIN . . .
IN #1 WE SEE THE PHOTO OF SASKIA IN HER MICKEY MOUSE GEAR. #2 SHOWS THE SKETCH I DID OF HER AND MY IDEA FOR HER FINER BEING STUCK IN A MOUSE TRAP. I USUALLY DO TONS OF DRAWINGS AND SKETCHES BEFORE I SETTLE ON A FINAL, BUT IN THIS CASE I ACTUALLY WENT WITH THE VERY 1st ONE I DID. I DID HAVE TO RESEARCH A MOUSETRAP THOUGH (#3) AND DO A THUMBNAIL OF THE LAYOUT (#4). I GENERALLY ALWAYS KNOW FROM THE BEGINNING OF A DRAWING HOW I'LL WANT THE LAYOUT TO BE SET-UP. THEN IN #5 WE SEE MY FINAL INKED MICKEY-GIRL (I SPOTTED THE BLACKS ON THE EARS IN PHOTOSHOP, NO NEED TO WASTE GOOD INK!). AND FINALLY IN #6, I DID A CIRCLE OF TRADITIONAL MICKEY MOUSE EARS HATS AND PHOTOSHOPPED IT INTO A TESSELLATION. IN THE END I SLAPPED THEM ALL TOGETHER AND VOILA!
IF YOU'VE LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THIS POST, IT'S THAT YOU SHOULDN'T TRY TO GET THE CHEESE OUT OF A MOUSE TRAP! IT'LL SNAP ON YOUR FINGER AND MAKE IT SWELL TO CARTOON PROPORTIONS!!!
