Meet the Scribblings! My kind of quirky, creepy, cute fellows!
The Scribblings is my working name for the wide community of fellows that are appearing in this style of art. That title may change, though …it’s not set in stone yet!
This one I really liked this until I added the greyish blue crosshatching background. I used softer colours that are still vintage. But, I think the background colour has detracted from them – too dark, too textured, both? I don’t know.
I do know, however, that I could kick myself for not scanning the drawing in before starting to add colour!
I know I want to add some shadow around them. Maybe I’ll see if I can lighten or remove the background digitally at some point too.
What I do know is that I have a few more characters to add to my “bestiary” to work with in different ways.
Even though I’m not fond of the background at all, the characters still make me smile. The softer colours have also entranced me too.
