Fear

I tried to draw an abstract image of fear. Everything is chaotic, your not in control, tight chest and gut. Swirling colours…

I’m not afraid of halloween or anything silly like that, but I’m scared to go out into our garden without my hubby. We have been through a series of thefts from our garden and now I can’t stop looking out of the window to check if anyone had come back. Hubby just rushed out because he saw someone on a bike like his, and I’m afraid to go into the garden incase someone is lurking, so many bad thoughts of what might happen!

Hence the drawing, a bit of self art therapy.

Take an image, duplicate it, turn it until you are happy with it’s position. I used incollage app to create these. The original images can be a drawing, an image that has been digitally manipulated or just a photo of an object. Just experimenting and having fun.

Missed prompts

Sundays #bandofsketchers prompt was trees. I’ve been snowed under with stuff so this is late. Such a lot of prompts to catch up with! I decided to draw a group of trees on my phone. It’s a bit of a misty winter scene. I think it needs more doing to it. But not tonight! Used my Artrage app.

Another digital drawing from a few years ago. Also drawn on my tablet. I think I was trying to add some autumnal colours to my drawing. I love experimenting and third app I was using allowed you to add gradient fill to my drawing. I really must get my tablet fixed.

When I get bored I doodle.

Usually faces either in profile or three quarter positions. But I’ve noticed they usually face left, and I thinks that because I’m right handed. I also draw cats and horses facing left too.

I think its because I’m right handed. I usually draw the edge of the face first, then the eyes and the mouth, and hair and the ear. If you draw across the page you can see what you have drawn without your hand getting in the way. I spoke to someone who is left handed and she draws faces facing right. I haven’t done any research but it would be interesting to find it hw prevalent this is….?

Digital art memory from 2 October 2016. I have no memory of how I did this. I think I used a free app called Artrage oils. And I must have used the old layout app, but I don’t know how I achieved the different colours. Anyway it’s definitely a piece of my digital art. 7 years ago.

Picassoish pyjamas

Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was pyjamas. I’m watching a programme about Picasso and I drew a digital image channelling one of his female portraits. Then I decided to collage it and see if I could make it look like a print for pyjamas. Artrage, incollage and Sketchbook apps used.

What could you do more of?

I have been ill and down for a while and I need to start feeling better and reclaim doing some real art. Yes I can work on my small phone screen and create small pieces of digital art, and yes, over the years I have done a lot. But I begin to need to paint again. It must be a good sign? I’ve got to stop being frightened of creating, fear of failure is holding me back. Will I ever get through being blocked? At least now I can admit I want to.

Sketchbook app using the watercolour pen options to create a flowing, wet in wet effect. It’s a portrait of my hubby, watching TV on a quiet Sunday afternoon. I’m so pleased I found my stylus (I had to glue it back together) it’s much more controlled than simple finger painting.

I am

I am a coffee cup

Drawn in photoshop

I was my owners friend

Until I got broke

My owner dropped me

And as I fell

I hit my limb on the floor

I had no handle any more

Our friendship has lasted though

Now I sit proud

I have a Christmas cactus to hold

On my gentle grey inside.
