Found. A tenuous link to the theme but I fell in love with this stock image by Chirinstock, that turned up when I searched for ‘found’ because she found the leaves to put in her hair. I went to dark to fast on the background, and I was aiming for more expressive hatching, but overall […]
United Overall happy with this one. Was heavy handed with the shading on the cheeks, so they look like hairy tears, I think a more expressive line might work better for when I don’t have a chance to hatch the whole piece out. Reference from Senshistock. I used my kuru toga mechanical pencil, sailor fude […]
Fall Stock by Senshistock Over all pleased with this one. Facial expression! Sense of movement. Shame the hands and the right side of her face aren’t quite right. I did take my time with the hatching, which is the only way to do it. Quick sketchy line drawings and slow hatching. I can’t resist awash […]
Climb To get to the top you’ve got to climb. Very quickly done with my sailor 40 degree fude pen and carbon ink. Don’t feel like I did the reference material justice, but that’s what I got done, and i don’t have time to restart it today. Reference is from: Anettfrozen Squeak If you’ve read […]
Climb To get to the top you’ve got to climb. Very quickly done with my sailor 40 degree fude pen and carbon ink. Reference is from: Anettfrozen Squeak If you’ve read the Discworld novels, you’ll know. This is the death of rats, and even if the rat catcher doesn’t believe in reincarnation, reincarnation believes in […]
Ship. I used to read epic fantasy when I was a kid, I had read all the kids books in the library and then over on to epic fantasy (and the discworld) I read a series called Live Ships, where the figure heads could talk, navigate and fight back against invaders. Half way through sticking […]
Blind. References from Attemptestock I started this on the morning of the 24th before work, but I knew I wouldn’t have time to get it finished. As it was such a beautiful stock image I wanted to take more time over it and do delicate ink washes, so factoring in that drawing faces and hands […]
Finally, caught up and on track. Although I spent two hours on this, it didn’t all go well. However I was able to pull some of it back. Still always more to work on, faces at funny angles/foreshortening. I have managed to embrace what a splotchy wash the ink I’m using makes. Now I except […]
Very sadly one of my students has passed away. He did have a chronic illness, but got on with life at his own pace and left the class seemingly fine. His wife sent me an email to let me know of his passing, so as he was part of a very proactive art group, we’re […]
Still catching up. Super quick drawings and inking. Wow do I wish I’d taken an extra five minutes to get the glasses less wonky. On the plus side, the foreshortening isn’t so bad. Stock from Senshistock Got a little carried away with this one, couldn’t resist an ink wash. Men’s faces are definitely easier for […]
