I've been collecting books by Brian Froud for a while now. I adore the pressed fairies series. The illustrations are so fun and silly, it's really fun to study them and get out of my artistic comfort zone. The books are a collection of illustrations of fairies that have been "collected" like pressed flowers by squashing them between the pages. Their anatomy becomes stretched and distorted, creating unique poses that are so fun to draw. I'm sketching on a 40 page A4 sketchbook from the op shop. On a few pages some little kids were playing hangman with words like "skibidi" and "brainrot" but I just used whiteout and sketched over it. I'm challenging myself to finish the whole 40 pages with studies of Brian Froud's work. Mainly focusing on poses and expressions. I'm using a mix of pencil, marker, and highlighters.
