Doodling along

 

 

 

 

 

Just some quick drawings from my sketchbook I did for pure enjoyment and relaxation.

Finally drawing pixies again, it's been a while without them.
Thinking about starting a new project.....

Collecting Memories

   

 

 

I don't know why but I found it extremely difficult to pick the right colours for this one...

Her dress had at least four different shades, luckily I painted mainly with acrylic paints so I could go over and over it again. I'm still not satisfied with the colour sheme, it's far from what I intended it to be.

The perspective is quite alright I guess.

I really hope my lovely art trade partner will like it and will recognize her character as well.

I don't think I'm very good at capturing the likeness of another artist's OC. :/

Ink & Tint

 

 

I Finally continued my latest painting and pretty much finished inking and underpainting in one go.
Inking used to be the part I disliked most but I enjoy it more and more these days..especially if there are a lot of details. Also I formed the habit of creating sepia/orange underpaintings which really help to create an atmosphere and harmonic colour scheme, since you don't need to think about different colours and how they'd go together at all but can completely focus on light and shadow first.
Now I'm gonna start applying colours on top.

By the way, I'm currently taking part in a competition with my 'Sacred Hoop'. If you liked the book you can vote for it here: [Link]
I'd really appreciate your support. Thank you in advance.:)

Collecting memories - sketch

Sketch for a new painting.:) Practicing perspective...still needs a lot improvement but the composition is getting there I guess.
Oh by the way - this is my 84. post and I've got exactly 84 follower.:D
Just thought I should mention it...thank you guys!

Back to the drawing table now. Take care!

Just a quick water colour illustration for my new facebook page. Add me there for more updates if you're interested. I think it's slightly easier to follow than blogger. :)

 

 

 

 

I watch over you - complete

I watch you, fair lady
collecting fullmoon flowers at midnight
I sense you, oh dear lady
shining brighter than them in the moonlight

Shrouded by the shadows of the trees night by night,
I watch over you, dreaming to step with you in the light

 

 

 

Finished painting and some more w.i.p. I actually rather like it. :)

I watch over you - w.i.p.

 

 

 

Putting down those washes.

The Sacred Hoop - Picture Book

 I finally got to see the finished book so here are a few photographs to give you an idea of the end product, which will be put up for the final show exhibition of my extended diploma course together with the work of 500 other students.
I am not completely satisfied with the job the printing company did and they charged a ridiculous price on top of that, so I am now looking out for online companies which are cheaper and more reliable. If you have any suggestions I'd be very happy to read them! c:
I am still looking very much forward to the opening night of the exhibition at the 23rd of may which also will be the last time for all the people of my course to get together. I think it will be a nice endling of those two years.

 

 

 

You can find the whole book on animexx or bookrix if you're interested in reading it. :)
