fish

I felt like drawing at an unreasonable hour again! I felt the need to wash the animu out of my system lol! I forgot about these fish I drew about a year ago. I was going to paint them, but ended up subjecting them to major texture abuse instead. :'D

I...really need to fix my sleep schedule.

just a couple works in progress

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been doing mostly anime art recently!

Anyway, here are a couple of things I've been working on sporadically. I didn't really have a plan going into them (which probably shows?!). I had extra time in my last acrylic painting class a couple weeks ago and decided to create some grounds to draw on top of. So this is what I have thus far... have no idea where these are going and may end up painting over them...

Acrylics, Prismacolour warm grey markers, Sharpies, white-out, rubbing alcohol & Sakura Microns, 8.5x11"

Note: Don't be dumb like me and inhale excess amounts of alcohol vapours (from markers and rubbing alcohol I used on a brush to smooth out the marker edges and blur the red Sharpie... How many brain cells have I lost, I wonder?). Work in a well ventilated room!

Week 7

Watercolour/gouaches washes over a graphite drawing create pretty interesting effects, in my opinion. :)

First, powdered graphite was applied to the entire surface. Details were then erased into the graphite ground. A light wash of watercolours and gouache was applied after the erasing was completed, and voila!


I'm losing my Japanese vocab, I hope that's correct. <:

So I guess I'll put up some of my life drawing... I've never done it before and this is my progress after 7 classes, it was the first time we're allowed to use one colour! Our instructor had us use 3 different colours for each of the main steps: 1) gesture 2) joints 3) mass structures. We haven't delved into contour and tone yet.

(And please excuse poor photography) ;-;

20 minute poses - really need to work on hands & feet, among...well everything else xD
