here's an update of my angels collage

it's hideously early o'clock, here's an update of my angels collage. Have worked on it approximately 4 hours now.

Started an angel collage, using print-outs, fine-liner, pencil and chalk pastels I decided on massively oversized wings that look like they're bursting out of the page like they're ready to fly.

Still needs a bit of work in the middle, blending the print-out with my freehand parts and finishing off with more mid-tones but I think it's a good sign of things to come.

madonna and child, (left half of the melun diptych)

Jean Fouquet c.1450

looking at a lot of different gothic art at the moment for ideas about how to draw angels. the colours in this are striking and separate the foreground and the background beautifully. The proportions are all a bit strange and a bit scary but I love it none the less.

Embalming of the body of christ and the three marys at the empty tomb

workshop of the ingeborg psalter (active c. 1213)

This is my favourite one so far, I love blue! The white spaces are going to be comic panels
