It’s become an annual tradition.
It started in 2009, the year I started my blog.
I shared how much I love candy corn and I came up with several projects using the candy. Again, in 2010, I came up with several different projects using candy corn, one of which was a Candy Corn Queen adorned in a fantastical candy studded costume.
Last year, I decided another queen was in order and drew an elegant Elizabethan queen in a royally sweet gown.
This year I was inspired by an Egyptian ATC swap I did in late summer. I shared some preliminary sketches on my FB page. The final sketch combines three different painted papyrus images: the head was from one, the body from another, and the background design from a third. I made up a lot of the hieroglyphics on my own, creating designs that would allow me to add lots of candy corn in.
I traced the design with black permanent pen onto tracing paper,working out some of the finer details.
White-out comes in handy to cover over mistakes so they can be re-drawn.
I love owls so I drew one perched on her arm…
She’s going to hold a bowl full of candy corn because queens need snacks, too.
Used my black Copic to color in some areas…
Made a copy onto card-stock before coloring so I have my original to play with…
Orange and yellow Copics for coloring…
I still love to color…
A candy corn throne…
So far so good…
Brayered on some ‘Tea-Dye’ Distress Ink to age it…
Brushed on some liquid White-Out to give it even more of an aged look, then brayered some more…
Finally done!
I appreciate you stopping by to see my art, have a great weekend!
