Let's face it Lalades (said La-Lay-Deez) needed some additional spunk for her character profile seeing as how her home town Revol is pretty much a town of rebels (mostly without a cause). Plus she's an irreverent, hilarious personality in her own right.
(BTW since I haven't posted any excerpts from her story line yet, Lalades shocks her family by running away to join the Circus with a bunch of unwinged common folk! Her parents had never been so horrified and yet so proud. I should hopefully post from this story sometime in this next week so check back!)
And, as promised, a dramatic demonstration of the benefits of using high quality art materials. The old picture was done using Crayola colored pencils, the new with Copic markers and Prismacolor colored pencils.
Again, a fairly straightforward Update to the picture (I write this now because there will come those later that are not so straightforward and obvious), same basic design, added a bit of embellishment, and a whole lot of attitude.
To be fair to Crayola - and I did love my Crayola colored pencils - the picture on the left was fairly old when I finally started scanning my pictures into my computer so it could have faded some with age.
Also, for those starting out in colored pencils, Crayola is a inexpensive and fair pencil with which to learn, an excellent first choice - far superior to Roseart or any generic brands I've used. I worked with Crayola for years before finally upgrading. (I won't even tell you how long I drooled over the Prismacolor before finally plunking down the $100+ dollars to buy them, but I will say it measures in years.)
