New paintings and regular art updates.
Badly drawn mug with a photo superimposed on it. I was just trying out the idea of what would work on a mug. I’m sure there are templates so you can see how things would work, but I don’t know which application is the best to choose? I think spoonflower and red bubble have them but I don’t know of there is a charge to use them. The pattern is a collage of a photo of my crocheted blanket, it was square so I had to draw curves so the top and bottom fitted into the shape. It might work?
I’ve never seen anything out of this world but Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was paranormal. I drew a spooky, ghostly cat, out on the prowl at night. Artrage app using various tools. I think I’ve made him too friendly!
My mind is full of ideas balled up like elastic bands wrapped together. They are bouncing all over the place. The feeling of faces watching me as I struggle through them. A crowd of amorphous figures that slide in and out of focus.
How to describe where I went to create this digital sketch. Pushing the boundaries a little more. It is also about how I am feeling tonight
Am I being too verbose? I’m experimenting with how to describe things, trying to be more thoughtful instead of simply explaining. It’s interesting to try and change how I think. Making the words more poetic. But trying to make sense too….
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was shed. Our shed is painted grey and stuck in a corner covered in ivy and privet and Russian vine. It’s crammed with ‘stuff’ and needs decluttering. We have flower pots by the door.it’s another digital drawing, this time done in my sketchbook app.
#bandofsketchers prompt was bark. I’ve found my stylus so I’ve tried to draw the bark of a tree trunk. It means I have more control over the sketch and I can be more accurate with my drawing. Used sketchbook app.
Found my stylus, I can draw better than with finger painting. Artrage app I did the initial drawing then realised a bit looked like a mouth… I’m amazed how it improves the control over the image production.
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.
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was one I chose, equator. Why? I don’t know. Digital drawing of an Earth like planet with a red equatorial line drawn on it. In my imagination this is a planet encircling city. The only place warm enough for the alien life is the hottest part of the planet on its equator. Used Artrage app to draw this.
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.
