Description
Drawing Process:
For “The Seaside Faun” drawing, my process includes several steps. First, the sketch is drawn softly with a light colored mechanical pencil or graphite to draft the idea. I follow up with several shades of different wax colored pencils to add depth and a sense of atmosphere to the drawing. Then graphite is drawn on top to tighten and clean the drawing as well as add details. The colored sketch remains intact and subtly visible beneath the graphite of the final drawing. This process captures not just the final illustration, but also preserves the journey from sketch to finish with each layer of color.
“The Seaside Faun” Drawing Story:
“Along the shores of Terratoff, one can find many thriving nautical villages and markets governed by the “seaside fauns”. The seaside fauns have adapted to life by the ocean in ways that make them uniquely distinct from their forest dwelling cousins.
They cultivate and trade the water’s harvest including fish, kelp, and minerals found only below the waves. They work together with neighboring (and usually reclusive) Sea Wyverns to collect and distribute these valuable resources. Although Sea Wyverns prefer solitude, the seaside fauns share their love for the water and open air, so the two species cooperate well when needed.
Seaside fauns prefer to have smaller antlers to avoid getting tangled in seaweed while swimming and diving. They will even file their antlers down if they get too long. Nautically embellished neck collars that resemble man-made diving helmets are a common trend, paired with crowns and shawls of kelp or pearls.
Although their lives are filled with fresh sunshine and the crisp ocean air, the seaside fauns live under a foreboding shadow. The sea is all that separates the Winnow (pure) creatures of Terratoff from the Rotten army lurking in the “Dark Lands”. Should their forces traverse across the waters once more, the seaside villages are the first line of defense. ”
