Total hours worked today: 6
Alright, day three of this project. Got an earlier start and was working practically all day. I drew Jane Jetson's face on in pencil first and so was better able to gauge how it was positioned before applying paint.
I'm pretty happy with the result. But then there was that problem of the cut flat bottom of her waist. It made things look incomplete and floaty. So, I decided to put her inside the Jetson's logo to give it a contained, decal look.
As of now, Jane Jetson is completely finished. I am pretty happy with her overall look and the resemblance captured.
Today was a big Jane Porter day. I got the colors for the yellow dress, parasol, and facial skin tones done. Then I added the brown layered tones for her hair.
That was a lot of fun to do. I also wanted to show how the stencils work, just in case anyone was interested.
Caution to the inexperienced: wait until your colors are dry before you put the next stencil on. Because as you adjust the stencil to get it positioned right, it moves the paint in small smears and it makes previous layers look like shit.
Anyways, that's day three. I'm going to need to redo the pale grey of her safari hat so it looks more safari than it currently does. And I'll need to touch up the brown book and her cheek where the brown was still wet and smudged as I was adjusting the white stencil.
