Illustrating A Story

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I did this for a story on section7mfu for the PicFic.


I amped up the exposure and then printed the picture (it's the prompt for this week's challenge), cut it out and worked on it with pastels.  The hair is done with metallic oil pastels, a new toy in my art box.
I scanned the image after affixing it to the marbled paper background, and went to work on the digital aspect.  I again lightened it, then changed elements around until it became the finished product.  It's definitely mixed media.
