New paintings and regular art updates.
Another #bandofsketchers prompt was wet, after taking a photo of rain on my window I decided to try and interpret it as a digital sketch using Artrage app. I usually finger paint but as I wanted more control I used my stylus.
I don’t do many of these anymore. I find it harder to hold my phone when I’m sketching and drawing. My fingers cramp up round the phone and sometimes round a stylus if I’m drawing with one. Anyway got to keep my hand in as the saying goes. Ten minute digital drawing in my Artrage app.
Playing with Artrage, it’s been a while, I wanted to create the impression of a stained glass window. I like drawing digitally and I used a stylus to try and control my shakiness. I like this app because it had various pens and the ability to make the colours metallic. I paid for it, but not much and I’ve used it for several years .
Another digital drawing done with the Artrage app a few years ago. I think this was possibly done using a stylus, not as a finger painting. Why purple? I like the colour. It seems to include blues and reds within it, so that it can be cold or warm. If I could change anything on this I would probably erase the short stubby legs and just have it swimming with a reflection underneath it instead. Somehow it looks like it’s standing on ice…
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.
Hitting my head against a brick wall. My world feels like a ton of bricks has landed on my head or I’ve run slap bang into a brick wall. Lots of things have been going wrong and I know I must break through the wall but it’s hard. Health, family, finances, I have been feeling down but I know I must continue to fight if I’m going to succeed and survive. I think I’m probably being bit too open here but I’m going to share these thoughts elsewhere too.
#bandofsketchers prompt was corner, digital doodle in Artrage then photodirector apps. Abstract image based an a view through a window.
Nose is one of the recent #bandofsketchers prompts. I couldn’t resist trying to draw a nose from my imagination. The bit that goes in underneath is called the philtrum. Artrage app stylus painting. I used a metallic gold flood fill to start with, then used non metallic colours and pens.
Purple mountain #bandofsketchers prompt was mountain, I drew this in Artrage app then adjusted it in photodirector. I must get back to real drawing soon.
This #bandofsketchers prompt was collection. Well I tried to remember my old glass marble collection! I still have some somewhere. In a bowl I think. Drawn in my sketchbook app, I used a stylus, but I’m very shaky today so the lines are a bit wobbly. Do you have a collection?
