… of children’s books illustrations… Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit. “Freehand copy” from her illustration.
Practicing simplicity and avoiding overworking when the inspiration is missing…
It surprised me a bit that she made several strange mistakes (or are they?) in the drawing… Just looking at her illustration, I never thought of it, but when I tried to draw Peter, the perspective and shapes didn’t add up.
I used the Winsor & Newton professional watercolor paper for the first time. First impression is good, I like the look of the colors on this paper, they spread nicely and stay bright. This was not testing the paper very hard, but it felt like a good start.
