When studying gesture in the comfort of my home my preference is to work with video rather than still images, so I can select the best action moments and carefully examine the motion. I did some 2 or 3 min gestures, and then I rendered the pose I liked best. I finished the exercise drawing a pose from imagination, and you can instantly see that the result it’s not as good. working without direct reference makes my drawings stiff, since I haven’t practiced figure drawing form imagination in a loooong while, so there’s another thing I need to work on.

I make art out of single use plastic and found/recycled items. This piece is titled “Bear witness” made from trash and chainsaw blades. Thought this might inspire other solar punk artists <3.

Those are objects from the Roman Empire. About 130 have been found in total.

@artshare Arrietty diorama's done ~ 🌿I might do kingdom hearts next ... (Maybeee ?)

It took a few days to figure out how I wanted to ink this. Then it occurred to me that I needed to keep the production vibe of their videos. The faster I could ink this the more true to Castle Rat it would be.

Several years ago I read a book on famous quotes and did the person actually say it. Turns out Einstein didn’t say his famous quote on doing the same thing over and over again exactly.

All made with Blender

Pencil rough for a drawing based on the band Castle Rat. No idea what ink style I’ll use once I tighten up the rough.

I think a could have gone a bit farther with it but I’m pleased with the results tho

This is just a little doodle I made in my sketchbook while waiting for my daughter to finish her swimming lessons.

Saw this reference image and really wanted to paint her hair. Afterwards I’m thinking maybe it’s a bit on the Karen side…?

I was just playing around with colours and shapes this weekend and ended up making this image :-)

We took my mom here for her birthday. It’s a place she’d been wanting to photograph for a long time. It was a fantastic trip!

Vintage portrait in carbon pencil. Switched original from demure downward glance to annoyed glare.

Scary movies don’t tend to get me worked up. Spider clowns in sewers don’t do it for me. But No Country for Old Men did. It’s lived rent free in my head ever since.

Micron 03, 05. A5 Sometimes your brain tells you to draw something and you can’t tell it no.

Have I ever seen a piano? Yes, I have. Do I have one in my house? Yes, I do. Do I know what one looks like? Um, probably, why don’t I just start drawing anyway and find out…

doodled these little cats yesterday to try out a new pen (1.0mm staedtler bullet point pigment pen in case anyone curious), ppl on discord seemed to like it so i thought why not put it here too :)

Having some fun with 70s studio portraits, drawing inspiration from Charles Burns’s Black Hole

Character sketch of 70s hair model in carbon pencil

My first. Used Krita and Wacom pad

I’m good at a lot of things. Sewing isn’t one of them.

I’m trying to paint a person for the second time everrr and this is the sketch so far!

sucking at something is the first step to getting sorta good at something

650 tris, 256x256 texture.

Going for something a bit more stylized here. I tried to make her eyes pop and draw in the viewer. How’d I do?

I took this picture last year when it was sunny and I noticed the interesting looking shadow. I overwrite the shadow using Krita and a Wacom drawing pad on my PC.

Thanks for the recommendations on the earlier version of this. I made some changes because I feel it previously was two perspectives, bottom of the tree was from close looking up, but the top of the tree was from far away. I made the top bigger to make the trunk look like it’s from the same perspective. Did some work on the ground around and behind the tree. Watched some videos, and looked at the trees across the street.

pentel 0.7mm energel pen in case anyone curious (i like the 0.5mm better but cannot find them by me anymore 😭)

February 11th is the day my dad passed away last year. This painting sort of expresses how I feel. My brother and I are getting together that day. I hope I get a good cry in that day. It’s been a while.

When watching the timelapse of the last drawing I really liked when the beard had white highlights added before the skin. So I tried to get something like that here with more contrast to his skin.

Gouache and ink on paper.

OMG OMG OMG, this turned it out so good! I didn’t think I’ve ever been this proud of any piece I’ve done before.

First time I’ve picked up a dip pen in years. I’m out of practice.

Reference was a video of a sumo match from a few days ago. Missed a couple of better “keyframes” but I think action is readable.

Hoping that recording or streaming my drawing will get me back into the habit.

I wanted my next practice round to have a big smile with teeth. While her teeth are better than I’ve ever done hers were not this crooked. I’ll do better next time…?

Pen on paper. Part of a game I was working on and forgot about.

Hello everyone!

Another practice session. Picked a reference at a slight angle to increase the challenge. Live models rarely ever (never) stare directly at me. So this should help.

Trying to determine what to do from the grass at the bottom of the tree, some sort of field rolling back, green or yellow-ish? Originally thinking I’d go to about where I have the sky, but maybe higher. Mostly looking for any suggestions to make this better. Thanks for looking.

What are they for? I donno! I put rocks in one. A fake tree in another. The right one is going to a friend who really wants it for some reason.

A second pass at practice before the live model sessions begin again. This is digital and done from reference. I used liquify far more than normal to get the proportions right. It’s amazing how skewed my view is without it.

Live model painting sessions will begin again soon. Time to brush up on skills I have used in a while.

Portrait study in graphite and carbon pencil.

Acrylic.

From the same museum, this one I painted from a photo I took off it. It was about the size of my hand, full grown adult from about 200k years ago from Chad, Africa. It’s a replica we got to touch which was cool.

Decided to go back to traditional mediums for this. Just a quick drawing. I am mostly a digital artist so feeling the physical paper as I drew was quite the treat.

Sold in 2025 Enjoy!

Not sure if it’s plein air or not, we were in a museum indoors. 45 minute speed painting. My mom and I had a blast painting there.
