Finishing Touches
Sin Embargo
Reference photo. Another side-by-side, freehand rendition in Procreate, rounding some things up, some things down to the nearest one hundred.

This time last year we were gearing up – full throttle – for our third and final Iowan Christmas! This year a Deere Santa print hangs in our blue kitchen in Merced, California. Ho ho ho! Click here for the original post.

…kinda’ like this other post in some ways…
It’s so much easier to divide up into the two groups.

Fed Up
Tech: I used a familiar reference photo along side this freehand rendition and then cropped it out before a few finishing touches…all in Procreate.
Ragsdale Home 2
I’ve already posted a drawing of this Ragsdale house, click here to see Ragsdale Home (I), but yesterday as I was walking Cowboy in the evening, I saw it in a different light from a slightly different angle, photographed it, and here you go.

Technical: This time I imported the photo and used it as a reference while I drew it freehand, side-by-side…much more quickly this time…but still in Procreate. I export the long rectangular image and crop it in iPhoto. Then I import the cropped image and do some finishing touches.
