Another doodle

And now I’ve tried doodling in another app. This is meant to be an Elf? I guess for Christmas. I can draw faces from life and from photos . But from my imagination? I’m out of practice, especially on digital devices. I quite like this, its in the ArtRage app and I like the metallic effect you can get. But again, I’m lacking in knowledge of how it works, I’m not proficient yet.

Does anyone like drawing digitally? Have you got any tips or have I got to go and look at a lot of YouTube videos to learn? I ask because I learn by playing, but then don’t know basic skills like how to use layers in photoshop properly….

Doodled cat

Quick doodle, trying to learn how to use a sketching app, but I haven’t used this device for several months, I usually use my phone. I can’t quite work out the settings on the app. But as a basic little doodle I guess its OK. I must practice on this more.

Watched Sky Portrait artist of the year, semi final with Booker Prize winner, Bernadine Evaristo as the sitter. I got an image of her from the net and tried to draw her. It’s not a good likeness but I tried. Thirty to Forty minute drawing. Felt pens on cartridge paper.

Old drawing of toadstools.

Drawings found in a cupboard today. They are of Fly Agaric toadstools. No date to say when I did them so it must be several years ago. The drawing is unfinished, so it might be when we were moving house? I found some paints at the same time….

Memory of the 1970’s and 80’s. The punk era. Digital drawing done on the sketcher free app. I drew this three years ago so I don’t remember it much. Found on my Facebook memories….

I drew this in August

Posted on December 6, 2020 Posted in Sketching, UncategorizedTagged August, Cold, Covid, Diary, Drawing, Memory, Sketch, Skull, Strange, TimeLeave a comment

Boy! I must have been feeling cheerful when I drew this (not).

I’m not even sure what I drew it in, except black marker pen, it’s a bit ghastly. I’m not even sure why I saved it, except that it documents the pandemic a bit, you can’t always have jolly art I guess.

I should write an ode or a poem, but I’m sitting at my computer trying to get some writing done and I just decided to give myself a break and choose a random picture to post here. I’m off in search of some warmth in a minute though. I think it’s cold as the grave up here in the front bedroom ( we don’t put the heating on upstairs, saves money).

Stay safe! X

Doodled face

Posted on December 4, 2020 Posted in Sketching, UncategorizedTagged Art, Artrage oils, Black and white, ddigital drawing, Digital doodle, Doodle, Face, Portrait, SketchLeave a comment

Doodle using a program called ArtRage oils. I started with some black “paint” then used a dry brush to spread it out. If you use this it sort of fades the paint. Then I changed to another brush which again uses a paint. I used a black, then white version of the tools to draw in a few sketchy details. This is drawn with a finger not a stylus.

Doodle, Alien butterfly. Using a couple of apps again. It might look good on a tee shirt with some sort of logo. As with all my art I hold the copyright so if anyone is interested in licencing the image please contact me.

Reflected

Drawing from August 2020? my reflection and my little sketchbook in the patterned swirls of glass in the back door. So often is it that I’m holding my phone that I thought that was what the black square was when I looked at it again. Black pen and coloured pencils to get the effect of glass. I have a lot of sketches from over the period of the pandemic. I was already drawing a lot before it arrived, but I hope my skills have improved over that time.

Crumpled/ twisted

Crumpled newspaper, twisted handbag strap. Bit early for today’s #bandofsketchers prompt, because I’m still up watching films. I didn’t have to look far for something to draw, this was yesterday’s Guardian newspaper. Both that and the handbag are on top of a cardboard box… I really need to tidy up!
