Blogger made a mistake yesterday - and instead of scheduling my post for the future - it just posted it.
The date is wrong. I don't get it.
Bear with me if we have some chaos in our future.
Balloons are harder to draw than one would think. Or at least they are for me. As you can see, both Amy (above) and Jessica (below) chose to overlap their balloons. That might be the secret to drawing balloons. I think I avoid overlapping. I wonder if I will remember to try overlapping the next time I feel like drawing balloons. Or perhaps I have had so many disappointing balloons that I don't even think of balloons any more.
I Googled *balloon line art* to see if they were mostly overlapping and they are.
Let's see what I can find on Pinterest.
Yup - they are all overlapping except this one from Getty Images - so don't be using it - it's under copyright.
The other thing that's hard for me when drawing balloons is making them symmetrical.
Jessica's are small enough that the symmetry is hard to see.
Amy's avoid the problem because of the way she drew the lines. They are done slow enough that the asymmetry becomes part of the style of the drawing - it's veering into the world of stylized. That's another option I should consider if I feel the need to draw balloons.
