Modern Landscape - Driveway

Inspiration for a mid-sized modern full sun front yard stone driveway in summer.

Sketchavember - Day 19

These elves are supposed to look like their environment, so Fret resembles the forest in the same way that Larkspur resembles the marshes. Larkspur has muddy brown skin and reed-like hair, Fret has skin and hair the colour of a silver birch, including the characteristic dark lacerations.

What’s this? A finished pencil drawing? It’s true! I started a new part-time evening job at the university library, which is extremely quiet when I’m there, and I’m actually allowed to draw to pass the time. It’s amazing! I’m used to retail jobs where doing anything non-work-related is strictly verboten no matter how quiet the shop is. So anyway, here’s Fret looking slightly distressed in his birch grove, the product of sitting at the library counter with nothing better to do. I’d like to do a painting of him and Larkspur soon to show their proper colours. I’m fairly often guilty of designing characters with important colour schemes and then drawing them in black and white all the time.
