Crosshatching was used to build up the shadows. It's probably my favourite drawing technique. Works best with pen and ink. This is the cover image for one of my children's picture books.
Woke up in the middle of the night the other week and saw the moon shining bright through the branches outside. It looked pretty neat so I got a picture and recreated it.
I just saw a circus tent and thought:Hmm I can make a demon oc out of it and behold!I didn't use the classic red and white colors mainly because I'm not a fan of red I did use blue however.I was going to give him circle eyes but then Fiore Pazzo (the flower demon has them) so I used different shaped eyes instead,one bigger than the other to emphasize his insanity.he and him have very similar personalities although cirko is a little smarter than him.both of them love collecting the souls of children the star demon (glistles) enjoys playing with children rather than to torment them.
I have thought of a design already,a wisecracking,fun loving marionette imp who loves dancing and singing and playing tricks.he helps Aldo become a better gymnast and also helps him with his self esteem issues. I was going to give him horns then I thought not all imps have them I might remove his tail too.inspiration for his face https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/wall-decorations/wall-mounted-sculptures/italian-modern-venetian-handmade-ceramic-white-carnival-mask-italy/id-f_26511762/ Costume inspiration https://sccnola.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/femalejester.jpg
