Xmas Pin-Up step by step (Patreon)

Hello my beautiful Patrons! I wish you the best Xmas vacations in this crazy year.
I want to share with you the process of this Christmas Pin-Up so you can create your own! For yourself or for making a special gift!

I start doing a mini mood-board. I want to make a classical Christmas pin-up with a twist, so I start from 50s pin ups and mix it with modern pop star look! I like this Ariana Grande pose , her hair on the shoulder. And I am a Gwen Stefani fan XD love her irony!

I do the drawing with ocre pencil for I want a warm mood and I will use warm colors.

I ink it with Pigma pens and finish it with a Sakura brush pen (all this pens are water-résistants)

I finish it with watercolors. I put a bit of ocre in every color for a warm mood. Be careful to choose a good paper! this is a Canson mixed media paper 250gr. Not the best watercolor paper but good enough!

I add some little white lights and HOP it’s done! Ready for being a gift and a nice Xmas post on IG :)

A big hug

Alessandro
