Hello 👋 I am working very slowly on a thread painting of a Thrawn comic panel but haven't posted about it over here. I haven't done anything like this before so it is an experimental process. Anyway, here is a post about my adventures so far:

1) Sourcing materials

A spontaneous trip to the craft store with comic in hand for adequate colour matching

2) Drawing my outline from reference onto soluble adhesive fabric

I began by doing the lineart in outline stitch. At this point, I also started the line shading from the comic lineart but quickly realised embroidery isn't like drawing at all and the colour needs to go down first! So you'll note those chin shade lines got unpicked and only thick lineart remained while I do colour!

3) Eyeball time!!

Although I planned to do all the lineart first, I really wanted to see how the colour would look so I jumped in and did one of his eyes to give me a bit of dopamine. This is a combo of outline stitch and satin stitch.

4) Blue!!!!

This is where I am currently at! In further search of dopamine, I continued onto the skin around his eye. At this point, I realised I needed a fourth shade of blue but luckily had a nice navy already that worked quite well.

I am likely going to redo the black shade lines - I tried to replicate them from the comic but I'm not sure they work that well. Might just need to adjust their direction a bit more. I will actually return to doing the lineart now before my pencil marks fade away.

MORE FIBER ART this piece has literally taken the whole school semester and like 100+ hours. I am Mentally Ill and go to art school so my profs don’t care if I work on embroidery during lecture as long as I participate. It’s made of dyed muslin and shitty craft store embroidery thread because quality materials are for cowards.

Not Tolkien related, but I'm actually lowkey proud of how this self portrait embroidery is going 🤩 Ignore the eyes being proportionally and directionally "off" lol, and the too-long nose/anatomical mistakes. I'm more focusing on learning "thread painting" techniques than exact and accurate anatomy representation (or at least, that's my excuse 😅)

Also I chose to do a self portrait bc at the time of needing a reference photo to practice embroidered portraits, I have, in fact, the face most readily available to me lol
