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 […]
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 […]
I often get paralysed by comparison with all the artists I admire out there, and am often really mean to myself about how I don’t do art like that artist/as well as that artist. It’s often something I hear from students as well. Why are we so mean to ourselves? As Minnie Small says in […]
I planned to do inktober last year,I just never got past the thinking about it stage. This year, I am determined. Who needs sleep? I am planning out my prompts now, and although I may not have time to do one each day, I will have moments where I can catch up. (For instance, the […]
I’ve just been away to London for three days and I took some sketching implements with me. As a follower of Liz Steel, Teoh Yi Chie and Path Southern Pierce (warning, you’ll walk away with a new foundation pen and a portable palette) I gathered up my materials and decided i would make use of the train ride down to […]
When googling ‘mixed media’ Pebeo Mixed Media always comes up. So I bought a mixed media set! It was supposed to contain ceramic, fantasy moon, prisme fantasy and vitrail transparent, but instead of three ceramic paints, I got 3 duplicate vitrail paints instead, so I cant comment on them. Generally the Vitrail is […]
Waiting for inspiration to grab you by the throat, drag you to the easel and produce a beautiful painting, is a fallacy. If I don’t put the time and the work in I won’t get improve and chipping away at it a little at a time is more helpful over all (more on that later). […]
