This is the first Steampunk image I've drawn. I absolutely love Steampunk and I'll hope fully do some more.
I actually started drawing this image back in April then got distracted doing other things. I finally had chance to finish her at the weekend. She's called Victoria and you can find her in my shop SheepSki Designs on Etsy - click here!
I've coloured the image and background with Copics, ProMarkers and polychromos pencils.
The image comes just as Victoria on her own. When I was printing her off I thought it would be cool to create my own Steampunk background so I used some Tim Holtz cogs and sketched three huge cogs into the background.
Once I'd finished the colouring I distressed the image, a piece of brown design paper from Lili of the Valley and some black card stock. Once I'd put the card togehter I sketch a biro border in them added some metal embellishments - Tim Holtz cogs, sprockets etc. of course :D
I you don't already know I've now got a Facebook group SheepSki Designs where I hold challenges - click here to join!
