Drawn on my Wacom tablet in photoshop 12 years ago. Based on the Escher drawing. I think I was drawn to the idea of a hand holding a reflective ball. This was a real challenge and was mainly drawn from imagination, but I looked at my hand held up in this position to draw it accurately.

The room in the reflection is based on what was in front of me but with added curves to try and recreate the spherical feeling. The room had been ‘edited’ removing some of the clutter. The view is not what would have been reflected in a globe which was a wall behind me. Only my head and shoulders were truly imagined.

Busy

A busy abstract pattern that evolved in a couple of apps. Not very neat and tidy and only done this because I couldn’t think of anything else on the busy theme. For prompt “busy” #bandofsketchers

Poppy against a grey sky

Artrage digital drawing. I saw some poppies against a grey sky and I decided to quickly draw a representation of the colours. Drawn using a stylus rather than a finger painting. I like the ways the stems aren’t always straight.

Metallic eye?

I’ve jut tried to alter the drawing of a gold bangle I drew for another post. I’ve smudged the outside and added white to the centre then a blue pupil with white highlights. I also rotated the image by 90°.

I’ve ended up with an eye apparently floating in space. Perhaps I should add stars?

Flowers

Drawing of flowers done on the sketchfu app 6 years ago. This was influenced by the Chelsea Flower Show that happens in May every year. My favourite plants are included here, marigolds, pansies, poppy, for instance. I hope my yard looks a bit more like this in a month or so.

Old digital drawing

Drawn on the old sketchfu website. I used a circular tool and layered up the colours, then I used a smaller circle set at a lower opacity to add the shade and highlights. It was a really simple site to use, I wish it was still open for use.

Mouth

My friend did a river mouth image for this prompt. It gave me an idea, so instead of drawing a mouth with teeth I decided to draw the mouth of a volcano starting to erupt. For #bandofsketchers prompt. ‘mouth’, digital drawing.

Seabiscuit

Watching the film Seabiscuit on the TV. I decided to try and draw a horse so I used Artrage to draw it, then I edited it in Instagram and also Photodirector apps. It’s a bit smudgy and indistinct but I quite like it. I drew the mane blowing in the wide and it’s tail up in the air. Brown with a white blaze on his nose. Digital drawing.

Identifit?

Trying to line up the features I have been drawing recently. Looks like an identifit photo! The nose and mouth were a bit big so I had to shrink them down, I used my incollage app on my phone to line the images up.

Eyes prompt

Posted on April 30, 2024 Posted in Sketching, UncategorizedTagged #bandofsketchers, Art, ArtRage app, Digital drawing, Drawing, Eyes, Face, Life, Prompt, Sketching2 Comments

Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was eyes. Well I had a go, digital drawing with a stylus. Eyes drawn on my Artrage app. I’m shaking a bit much to get a neat image. I used various pen and smudge tools to get a softer image but I want to try and do some real painting and drawing soon if I can overcome my shaking.
