Belated Happy New Year and hope you all had a jolly festive holiday! I spent Christmas at my parents’ house and we took Matilda back for the first time since we moved out. She was strutting around like she owned the place within 3 minutes, what a resilient cat! I thought she would be cowering under the bed for days…
So we ate delicious dinner, wore paper hats, watched white christmas/doctor who, had post-dinner naps and took away insane amounts of leftovers that we subsequently ate for over a week. I love Christmas, it’s one of the few holidays that doesn’t make me barf (see halloween, valentine’s day, NYE).
Now the decorations have come down and it feels like Christmas was a really long time ago. I suppose we better get on with 2010 then!
The Nutcracker
December 20th, 2009
I drew this for a Christmas wallpaper for the NEET blog (which you can nab for yourself if you follow that link). Any excuse to draw a bit of The Nutcracker, it’s my favourite ballet and my parents and I usually see it at Christmas. This year we saw Les Patineurs / Tales of Beatrix Potter though, which was totally amazing (It snowed on stage! All the little mice! Massive dolls house! How do they see through the animal heads!) but I did miss all that Tchaikovsky.
The Sugar Plum Fairy
The Mouse King
Clara
Nutcracker
And here are the original sketches. I sketched with a red mechanical pencil, inked with a Pentel pocket brush pen, scanned them in and got rid of all the red lines and background, then coloured in and added last little details in Photoshop.
I also did a little rough colour plan this time, which I don’t usually do due to laziness and impatience, because I wanted the four characters to work together nicely.
The inspiration:
