New paintings and regular art updates.
There is an app I really enjoyed using, but I’ve found out the version I use is being updated and the textures part of it is closing. That means I won’t be able to do this anymore.
I’m really sad because it’s given me a few ideas for creating more abstract paintings. I’m hoping that it will be changed to a similar type of tool but I don’t know. It’s like changing oil paints to acrylic without any explanation. So I’m just waiting to see in some trepidation.
Doodle of faces in profile and full face. Artrage doodled finger painting. I like adding layers and this app has different pens. I the past I just used the free Artrage oils app which just had synthetic oil paint texture, but this has spray paint, glitter, various other pens and brushes. It’s fun to use. You can also add metallic touches.
Used as many tools as I could on the Artrage app to sketch this. It could be a design for a stained glass window design. I tried to make it look mediaeval. I wanted it to look translucent. Using different textures. I tried to keep the colours to the blue, green and purple side of the spectrum. I like using lines for this image. Blue eyes.
Digital map, playing with textures. I think it looks a bit woven. I won’t explain how I did it, I spent ages colouring it in. It could look like an old TV screen, but it wouldn’t be in colour! I tried to add continental shelves which is why the colours are shaded in contours. Anyway hope you like it.
Using a digital filter can steady down analogue drawings. The splodginess of felt pens can get blurred out and the line work becomes more even. I used photodirector to change this drawing. I used the ‘effects’ AI filters and I think I used filter number five on the landscape choice. Somehow the top of the pumpkin looks like a bat….
The previous drawing with various digital filters. Like an old painting on peeling board. Some filters seem to work better than others. Maybe I should be more creative with them and let them run riot! ❤️
These were achieved using various photodirector filters, inverting colours and adding texture.
I used to draw a lot in an app called sketcherfree but I haven’t used it for a while. Perhaps it is time to find it again. Using different styles frees up my mind!
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.
I don’t know when or where I bought this little ink roller, but I think it was probably at a craft shop. The roller is in a little fluorescent green case and is round. It is supplied by black ink and is covered by letters which make an interesting textured pattern. I used it to create faces and a picture of a cat. It’s good to experiment with art.
