Beach With Floating Islands

 

Hmm, for some reason I never got around to posting the color version of this painting.  Maybe because the floating islands don't really have a shadow?  Anyway its good enough so here it is!  :)

Merry Christmas!

 

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry, jolly or otherwise enjoyable Christmas.  And also here's another drawing done with those Kuretake brush markers.  Its a just a bit of crumbling wall drawn from my imagination but its good to experiment with different materials and styles and this was sorta fun.

Giant Bees - Or Tiny Rabbits?

I finished another watercolor.  It feels good to finish things like this. :)

7 Day Challenge, Drawing Animals And Leaves

 Just some things I wanted to brush up on learning to draw.  These were done with 05 Microns in different colors and the same size Uni Pins in light and dark gray.

These were all drawn from stock photos.  Here's the link list to the different stocks I used:

Rabbit: https://pixabay.com/photos/rabbit-mammal-wildlife-hare-bunny-5352643/

Leaves: https://pixabay.com/photos/pile-of-leaves-leaves-fall-62808/

More Leaves: https://pixabay.com/photos/staircase-leaf-autumn-yellow-leaves-945888/

Songbird: https://pixabay.com/photos/nightingale-bird-tree-songbird-7167798/

There they are in case you want to draw them yourself, or see how they compare with my drawings.  I like linking to the stock photos.  It's good for the person who takes the picture and I think its interesting to compare them with the finished drawing and besides they're really good interesting pictures in and of themselves.

Fern leaves

Some fern fronds sketched in with Kuretake brush markers.
 

Forest Interior

 And here it is in color!  I like working with all that detail.

The black and white version is here.

A couple more sketches

A couple more sketches lately.  Hatching and cross-hatching are becoming more instinctive although of course there is still so much more to learn.

Painting

 

11"x14" oils on acrylic on canvas board.  I'm not much good at painting, its just something I mess around with in my spare time.  Drawing is fine but once in a while I like to do something in color.

Floating Island - Watercolor Pencils

 

Watercolor pencils are great, they're so convenient and I like that they leave a texture.
