This is a speedster zipping through a field of flowers. This art came about as my participation in the character design challenge about a bee and fly hybrid speedster. I know there are a lot of prompts there that excites me; speedster, bee and fly hybrid and fields of flowers. Now that is really something to inspire me to create. Like always I am using this style of drawing I call scratch art simply put I scratch all the negative spaces around the image I have until a black background is revealed.
I start by filling my canvas with all the colors I desire at the moment could be random but one thing for sure the colors must be bright or light as I will be left with a black background later on. I did not use any line or preliminary sketches the moment I scratch the screen that is the time everything takes shape but you can do a rough sketch if you want but this is me. That is how I force my mind to release some creative energy. I am just laying the scene and the location of all the details I want.
I just realized now the shape of this character looks like a brown bag, that is not my preferred shape all my characters are bean shaped oh well that is what happens when you get busy offline
Here I started adding the flower details for the field of blooms that is one of the prompts of the contest. They look like line drawings but I am actually doing the scratching. This could get tedious because I need to fill all the space and scratch out the ones I don't fill. See below to understand what I meant by that
The black areas are the negative spaces, when I scratch the color on top layer the black background is revealed. It is best to choose a dark color preferably black for better contrast. Some details here are not planned I just went along like the ladybug and the pinecone looking structure above it. The remaining colors I can just scratch off or if I am not lazy I can simply create other details. That is the beauty of spontaneity.
This is 80 percent done I can picture how the finished product would look like. Let me talk about the details. Almost all of the details here are present on almost all of my art pieces like the rocket in the sky, the naruto clouds, the plants and some flying creatures. My favorite detail here would be the plants I had a great time and had fun making them seeing them come to life. least favorite the blobs floating around they are quite difficult to shape. Now for the speedster character, it has the wings of a fly and bee but you could not tell if it is a hybrid because it is wearing that shell my bad that is the down side of being spontaneous . It is holding a nectar bottle , a stop watch and a race goggles. I guess I met all the rquired prompts.
Thanks for dropping by hope you enjoyed reading
