New paintings and regular art updates.
Progression from original digital drawing to filtered /distorted images. Using Artrage and then photodirector and Instagram filters. I do love to experiment with digital art. I like pushing the envelope as they say…
I could have used more colour but I tried a black and white filter after I drew the original and used a filter on Instagram that allows you to tilt and twist images.
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was handmade. I tried to do an abstract, an imagined explanation of the prompt. I drew a hand holding a hand made of ice that is starting to melt. I used Artrage app and photodirector.
Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was minimum. I just saw this and was a bit flummoxed! Anyway I decided to draw a part of a flower with minimum colours, just choosing a small part of it, digital finger painting in Artrage.
I was trying to draw the planet Saturn, which is at opposition at the moment (on the far side of the sun so fully illuminated). But I couldn’t get the right shape or colour so I went a bit abstract. Using Artrage and photodirector I put the initial sketch through lots of filters and ended up with this colourful picture.
Surrounded by wavy lines I drew a green pearly ball. Just experimenting with layers in Artrage and smoothed out with photodirector. Too hot to do much at the moment.
Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was pose. I was going to try and draw a statue but this figure appeared. I’m not sure whether she’s an artists model or fashion model. I struggled with the hands, I drew the top hand with the thumb on the wrong side to start off with. Just a black and white Artrage app finger painting.
The joy of creating a pattern. Layering with different Artrage tools. Playing with a roller, a spray paint tool, and other tools. Also the metallic and non metallic sliders. I tried to give the impression of spinning waves.
#bandofsketchers prompt “talent” I decided to use juggling as my theme and digital drawing/graffiti as its method, more of a doodle than a sketch….Artrage app and photodirector were the apps used. I did actually learn to juggle, but not very well!
Artrage doodle, it started as a background and was possibly going to be a river with fish in it, but when it came to the final image, this strange face snuck in. I am struggling with energy, trying to stay awake because sleeping on an old armchair will do that to you. I’ve made lots of mistakes in the writing on here, I keep on doing it because I’m falling asleep as I draw and write. So it’s a very random drawing. X
A week ago the #bandofsketchers prompt was Peel. Digital drawing of a banana being peeled. I can’t get out to get a new sketchbook so I’m drawing on my mobile with my fingers. Its a bit fuzzy.
