I’m starting to get the hen « attitude ». They feel looser and spunkier than the ones created last week. I’ve also been more efficient at drawing them; a big seven, plus eggs and houses instead of the three made the week before.
The background that eluded me is beginning to take form. I want the birds to roam around or be perched on top of little houses, with eggs of all sizes. It will also need some sort of vegetal life form (if you don’t count the hens’ head).
Next week will be spent painting more birds, with different colors, and drawing plants. Will it also need flying contraptions? Maybe.
So, this is this week’s quota for HES…
