New paintings and regular art updates.
Digitally manipulated photo of vaccum packed crochet blanket, added symmetry with the incollage app and then drew over it with the Sketchbook app. I suppose butterflies are quite symmetrical. It’s an interesting effect I think. I’m not sure whether to do anything else to it. I’ll see later.
I chose yesterday’s #bandofsketchers prompt. I suggested house. Well I decided to go off piste with this and do a digital finger painting in Artrage app. It’s meant to be a summerhouse. With splodgy flowers in front of it. I used different brushes to create the varied shapes.
I added different textures, scratches, and overlays to my dotty drawing from earlier oni don’t know why but I have to push the boundaries to my work until it feels finished. I guess that’s why I call myself an experimental fine artist. I like the way it’s digital but it could be painted and then weathered and flaking. I keep editing until I cannot get an improvement in the image.
What has this become? Duplicated, added filters, texture, sharpness. Mixed and muddled. Colourful, like false colour terrain. You can have a lot of fun with digital art. I feel like I’m flying over a mad landscape, rather like in 2001 a space oddessy when Dave Bowman flies through an alien landscape near the end of the film. What fun a bit psychedelic! x
I just drew this… I saw a red admiral butterfly outside and wanted to take a photo of it, but it flew off. I decided to draw something against a dark background to make it stand out more. This was drawn in the Artrage app I use, it gives nice metallic effects, hence the abstract look of this butterfly.
Great minds think alike?
I drew this this morning but hadn’t published it. I was just going through the reader section of WordPress and found someone else had done a very similar image. I did this digitally, playing with a drawing that I had been altering over the last couple of days. The other person’s art is four different female faces, using a totally different technique. It’s so interesting that artists come up with similar ideas from different beginnings. I like her style and work, good to see the creativity here!
Smudge and fudge
Please don’t judge?
Abstract face
Drawn with pace
Quick and messy
Like graffiti, breezy…
Oily marking
I might be larking
Around with sprays?
No, finger plays
On screen, I did it all
Digital!
Spin and twist
Curve and flip
Abstract line
Shift and dip.
Drawn with energy
Given lives
Negative space
Between the lines.
Twirl around
Like a web
Of neurones linked
Inside my head.
An old digital drawing of Mona drawn on the old sketchfu site. I got the nose and the body way too long! I used the site tools which were circular pens of seven varying sizes, and an opacity/transparency setting to build up the colours. I think I did this about ten years ago on my old wacom tablet.
I decided to play with digital drawing again did a drawing in the Artrage app and them modified it in the Sketchbook app. I then used the incollage app to create a collage of the steps I had taken. Finally I used an Instagram filter to change the hues of the images. I did all of this as a finger drawing. I need to try using a stylus for a more controlled effect.
