A difficult #bandofsketchers prompt, Spread. A digital finger painting of cheese spread being put on toast wirh a knife. Used a lot of different texture tools in my Artrage app to give it a bit of a 3d feeling.

Tag: Drawing
Prompt : Play
Catching up with #bandofsketchers prompts. This one was Play. Playing with digital ideas and textures. I used Artrage and Sketchbook apps to create this semi surrealistic eye floating in an alien sky. Weird!
Animal
I’m still doing digital sketches for #bandofsketchers. This animal is a roughly drawn Zebra in my sketchbook app. Using a black pen, white eraser, green pastel, and a dark green flood fill. Trying to make it look like a lino cut. X
Repetitive
#bandofsketchers repetition. Trying to catch up. My sketchbook has run out of pages and I’m stuck at home with a pulled ligament in my foot so I might do a lot of digital drawings. This has various repetitive sections using 3 different apps.
Doorway
25.7.23s #bandofsketchers prompt was doorway. I’m going to try and catch up with the recent prompts, been a bit busy lately. This doorway sketch is based on a doorway at Rode Hall that I took a photo of a few weeks ago.
Patterning
Symmetrical doodle, could be a vase? I love pattern, I found the flood fill on my sketchbook app, using gradient and radial fills. I can’t work out how to change it from black, grey and white. But I think it sort of works? I was trying for a picassoish line effect although there are no bits of anatomy from animals and humans like his abstracts have.
Green eyes
Drawing and doodling, I had fun dig this, just playing with layers in my Artrage app. The Green eyes give her a spooky look. I imagine this woman as some mythological person. Perhaps Cassandra who Wikipedia states:
Cassandra or Kassandra in Greek mythology was a Trojan priestess dedicated to the god Apollo and fated by him to utter true prophecies but never to be believed. In modern usage her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate a person whose accurate prophecies, generally of impending disaster, are not believed. Wikipedia
I was interested in Greek and Roman mythology when I was a child. I think I read about Cassandra then.
Butterfly
Sundays #bandofsketchers prompt was butterfly, moth or insect. I decided to do a symmetrical drawing of a butterfly using the Sketchbook app on my phone. Basically I haven’t seen many of them so far this year. So I preferred doing my own design rather than using an Internet image to work from. It’s definitely sketchy!
Quick sketch
Farewell little Bluebird,
You will never tweet again
X marks the spot where you sat

Time to say goodbye X
Idea for a semi abstract painting based on rain.
I have a small commission and I need to create something gentle based on the idea of rain. I’ve used the theme of raindrops and water running down glass as an idea. This was drawn in my Artrage app and it’s a digital finger painting. I will try and do the painting in metallic acrylic paint.
