It is time again. Already, a new sketchbook had to be painted. Or well, technically it was just time for me to choose to paint another sketchbook, as a present to a friend of mine. He has some varied interests – like any healthy man should have – and my motive for his sketchbook was inspired by one of these.
Yes, he likes comics and superheroes, and Wonder Woman is a soft spot. (My claim, not his.) I tried to prepare the cover a bit more than usual this time, hoping it wouldn’t be quite as coarse to paint on, and I did manage to get it a bit smoother. Yay for me! Not that it was much easier, especially as painting humans isn’t what I’m most comfortable with, but above you see the result on the front cover.
But I had to do something with the back cover, too, right? A quick little painting? I figured something along the Wonder Woman-logo could be fitting.
To be honest, I didn’t have too much of a plan when I started the back cover, but I thought WV could make a better logo for him than WW, to make it personal. Had I had a plan before I started, I would’ve done it a bit different, had some smoother transitions and areas. But hey – it’s at least handmade. That must count for something …
And most importantly: He appreciated it!
