New paintings and regular art updates.
Just a sketch of a dragon using Artrage app. I tried to use metallic paints to give it a sheen. I have to say it didn’t turn out as neat as I would have liked but I’m using a stylus instead of my finger. It’s controllable but in fact I’m not used to using it that often. Anyway enjoy Chinese new year. X
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.
A digital drawing from 2021, I think I drew it on my tablet, I put it away somewhere and I can’t find it! I’ve found somewhere that might upgrade it so I’ll have to start searching!
Anyway I believe this was drawn in sketchbook app with the stylus that comes with the tablet. It was clearly a quick sketch…
Sleeping cat. Using Artrage app. I’m having fun using my stylus, much more control than finger painting. This was sketched quickly from life, but the cat moved before I could finishh his paws. The mat is made up, the real one is grey and blue.
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.
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.
Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was train. Train design, didn’t look at an image, just channelling a screen print idea. The Green light is on the front of an American style train with a snow plow sort of thing. Obviously based on steam trains. Maybe in a transport museum? Artrage app drawing.
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.
