Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a new element to my custom Palisades Muppet Theatre. Its a Backdrop for Fozzie Bear's Comedy Sketches. I thought it was a great backdrop to start with. Turned out pretty good, although pretty difficult. Please enjoy the pics and behind the scenes commentary.
 |
| Started by researching the fozzie episodes and realized it only showed a small portion of the backdrop. I had to make up the rest since my Muppet theatre is bigger than the TV screen. I did a sketch first. |
 |
| Started filling in colors. |
 |
| As you can see I decided to add posts on each side of the fence. Artistic license;) |
 |
| Filling in the posts and bottom wall. |
 |
| Then I penciled in the brick patterns. |
 |
| I used forced perspective which is used in may theatrical scenic designs |
 |
| Then I filled in the lines on the brick pattern. |
 |
| Penciling in the fence |
 |
| After the fence is filled in. |
 |
| Then I penciled in the bench..this was a bit difficult. |
 |
| Time to outline the bench...steady....steady!!! |
 |
| Action shot! I used Gouache paint for this project, good for overlapping various colors. |
 |
| I did as much shading as I could |
 |
| Almost done!! |
 |
| Finished Bench |
 |
| Completed backdrop |
 |
| Backdrop in place...LOOKS COOL! |
|
| Wocka Wocka!! |
 |
| Thanks everyone, hope you enjoyed this project!!! |
