Hey steemians!
I am still new to steem and I have grown quite fond of the art contests being hosted by different persons like @w0olf and @opheliafu ... I am trying to participate in all of them but simply don't have the time (college duh ... especially when you want a major in physics and a minor in mathematics :P ) ... The challenges are interesting and going through the submissions by others is inspiring ... Anyway here's the brave sheriff's story ... (PS: the sheriff happens to be genetically mutated blue sheep!)
So I started out doodling for the #doodleon Doodle Doodledayeo round 12 challenge hosted by @opheliafu and thought about the star, sheep and town conundrum ... since it's Christmas, the first thing that popped up in my head was related to that ... I would've doodled that up but the sheep-riff shot that thought and took over ... and here's the initial sketch:
The town word led me to think of the wild west and the stars followed with the sheriff ... the only part that was difficult was the sheep so I turned the sheep into the sheriff :P ... then I outlined with Faber Castell Pitt pens (I got them a few days back ... if someone knows how to use them properly please help me out) and erased the pencil sketch while making small modifications to finalize my entry for the #doodleon contest ... and I thought I was done with sheep-riff ... but sheep-riff had better ideas!
I was thinking of not participating in @w0olf 's #designacharacter color challenge due to the lack of time ... but sheep-riff showed it's true colors! ... I used Paper by fiftythree app on my ipad to fill in the colors and then this followed
What happened next was unexpected ... I stumbled upon the resize option in paper and sheep-riff never looked so good before :P ... I made slight modifications and this is my entry for the #designacharacter contest!
