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!  :)

Floating Islands Made Of Giant Turnips

 

I was doodling floating islands shaped like giant turnips the other day, as one does. :)

More Floating Islands

 More floating islands, with a little guy and a cabin.  I kind of messed up on wind direction because the smoke from the cabin seems to be rising straight up and the vines are hanging straight down while the clouds are blowing one way and the waterfalls are blowing another.  But its still a nice picture.

I sketched some chickens on post-it notes as references for the chickens that are wandering around on the island, since I'm not very good at just winging it.  That went well.  Drawing preparatory sketches is always a good idea and I might do more of that in the future.

Floating Islands And Caves

 Well, the islands are floating anyway.  I don't have any floating caves in this particular drawing, that would be interesting. :)

I really gotta color this.

I think it came out pretty well.

Floating Islands

Another watercolor, this one is 9" x 12", and I think the larger size works better.  I did the original lineart back in October of 2019!

Inktober 2019!

So I got four pictures done, that's one less than last year, but a lot less than next year.

Overflowing Island

Micron pens and colored pencils.  I really enjoy drawing floating islands! :)
