handful of skies


handful of skies, originally uploaded by Donna Nicholson-Arnott.

Via Flickr:
Made for the Team We Draw October Challenge, The City.
The city is different from the suburbs in a number of ways, but the thing I notice most nowadays is the shape of the sky; it's a narrow irregular wedge in the city, and it's different on every street.
(I think this project might grow some more...)

I'd taken some shots of these drawings on friday, to post them on etsy. But it was late, and I used the anglepoise for light, and didn't think they worked. So the next day I took these in the daylight.
(Coinciding with flickr's downtime.)

I've been toying with user settings on the camera, to try and cut down some of the pp time. I shifted the colour balance a little further towards green, and dropped the saturation. (Then I forgot I'd had the white balance set for fluorescent light the night before, and that's given it the lovely lilacyblue hue, which I left because I quite liked it.)

Props in use at atyn last week; I thought the model really worked those wings, channelling fallen angel in every pose.

He Wears Motley, actually wearing motley.

I added some motley. It was about time actually, and it really sings in the low light. :)

Drawn for the We Draw august team challenge on etsy.com.
I can honestly say I would not have made this one without the challenge. Really, I'm not even remotely sure where this came from in my head.
But there she is, sad little mule-clown. Waiting. Waiting; waiting for that long-overdue Harlequin. I hope he doesn't become irrecoverable...
