Faces

Posted on June 3, 2023 Posted in Sketching, UncategorizedTagged Artrage, Faces, Learning, Life, Memory, optimised photos, Phone, Sketching, Space, Time2 Comments

Another couple of drawings/experiments, I do love learning and playing with art, but then I want to know how do I optimise my photos on my phone? My old antivirus used to do it, but now I’ve changed phones I can’t seem to work out what to do.

Should I use something in settings, or will there be an optimiser in my gallery. It’s worrying because my media here keeps telling me it’s full. When I upload optimised photos it’s not as bad. And along th e same lines, how do I sync my phone and my PC? It would help sort things out….

Variation

Using sketchbook app to draw tree branches. It’s interesting how you can import images and add to them, this is all a bit scruffy but I had fun doing it X.

Little bird drawing

Two versions, one digital drawings. When you have done something don’t be afraid to play with filters. It may or may not pay off, but you don’t know if you don’t try.

I need to get my paints out and do some real painting instead of doodling here. It’s OK, but a screen isn’t ideal for artwork. It gives me pleasure to do things, keeps my hand in, but it’s not much more than finger painting? Although looking at David Hockneys digital work it can be so much more. Just keep learning and practicing…

Drew over yesterday’s monster to create something else. A little parrot or budgie? If I don’t do anything else artistic I’m still doing doodles. Still using Artrage app to draw interesting images. It’s just an imaginary bird. Tomorrow is a new day, perhaps I can do something more than a sketch. X

Manipulated images

Both these images started out the same. One I adjusted to add texture. The other I used a mozaic, fisheye and inverting tool. It’s fun to digitally finger paint. I need to get my PC working so I can do something more complex and finely manipulated. I’m learning all the time.

Entwined

Youth to age

All one thing

Sliding and slipping

Entwined spirits

Damage and youth

Smooth then wrinkled

The bath of life at work

My hands are aged

Twitching, throbbing

Trigger finger hurts.

But keep drawing

Never give up

Never!

Face sketch

Used as many tools as I could on the Artrage app to sketch this. It could be a design for a stained glass window design. I tried to make it look mediaeval. I wanted it to look translucent. Using different textures. I tried to keep the colours to the blue, green and purple side of the spectrum. I like using lines for this image. Blue eyes.

Sundays prompt…

Sundays #bandofsketchers prompt was drink. I’m finally trying to catch up with the prompts. This is a digital finger painting of a drink can. I used the Artrage app to draw it. I’ve adjusted the colours with Instagram because it looked quite dull.

Background

I’m playing with oil colours in Artrage. I wanted to create a geological, rocky sort of image, like a slab of slate. Then I decided to split it into a collage, like five pieces of cake. It was interesting to create an abstract pattern, and I love the blues and reds as they smudged together. If I had oil paints I would try and recreate this as a real painting. I don’t know how I would do it though.

Dragon sketch…

Posted on April 11, 2023 Posted in Sketching, UncategorizedTagged Art, Artrage, Colours, Digital art, Dragon, Drawing, Fun, Glitter, Sketching, Sketching app, spiky2 Comments

A dragon drawing, I found a spiky line on the sketching app that really made this look interesting. I did my final major project at college on Dragons last year. So when I find a new way to represent them I like to experiment.

This is done in two apps, the initial line work was done on Sketcher app and then I exported it and opened it up in Artrage because the tools there are more flexible for colouring in and it also has metallic and Glitter options. I like it.
