Black Knight, White Knight - Colorful Chess Pieces
Sunday, May 20, 2007

I started by taking a photo of the white knight from my chess set. I decided to work in color pencil and to use bright colors for the drawings and I wanted to do both the black and white knights, so I needed a dark version and a light version. I brought the photo into Photoshop and skewed the colors to get the shades I wanted for the black knight. Then I mirror- imaged that version and "inverted" the colors to get the shades I wanted for the white knight. Notice how inverting the colors reversed the color schemes.




I created a video showing the steps in drawing White Knight. Watch the video on YouTube.
The eBay auctions for both knights end at 10:45 am on May 26th.

Neither knight sold at auction, so they're now available in my store:
