I'm Back With My Inked Theme 7! Sorry For The Unexpected Art Hiatus. I Was Finishing Up Finals And After

Here's a WIP of what I've been working on this past week for my Illustration class. 🔷 This assignment is another collage, using very detailed life drawings from a specific book. I've taken images that I liked, collaged them together, photocopied them, then used a special marker to transfer the images on to Bristol paper. (Looks like magic, no? 😆) 🔷 I haven't drawn anything yet, but I plan to later. I haven't been feeling that great, so I think I'll go get some more rest. Hope you enjoy!

I’ve seen many iterations of yin yang characters and I tried making a pair; They turned out to be a sun god and moon goddess. And tbh I didn’t finish the second one because the face looked so good, I was afraid of messing it up. 😅 Enjoy~

Going for a somewhat abstract background on this one and I’m pleased with the results. 😊 Maybe I should do this more often?

I was reminded of this Halloween-themed challenge I made for myself 5 years ago and thought I’d attempt it again last minute. I’ll be drawing my OCs in Halloween outfits for (hopefully) the whole month. I would’ve posted this sooner but I’ve been feeling kinda icky lately (prob just the weather affecting me again) and like I said I thought of this last minute. If you use my prompt list, please use the hashtag #crystal_OAC2020 so I can see what you guys make. And feel free to tackle the prompts in any order you like. Enjoy~ 😊🍂🍁 🎃 https://www.instagram.com/p/CF3ZV2cDIbF/?igshid=14kn2a040jk91

My heart melts for this comic. 💙

This comic about spot loving Data so much and Realising Lore is not her person because Data is soft/loving and wouldn’t be mean to spot or try to kill his crew has me in actual tears

Beautiful and inspiring landscapes

Hey 👋🏼 I know I haven’t posted in forever but I’m alive and still kickin’. I found this doodle from a #pmc meeting while back and decided to clean it up for fun. Hope you enjoy~ 🔹 #pmcsketch #pmcdoodle #pencilmileageclub #art #artists #sketch #pokémon #charmander #doodle #artwork (at Fullerton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RMZ9rDryX/?igshid=fvq96gk71lga

Might try this idea!

If you're an artist looking to diversify your faces:

click this link

draw whomever you get

don’t worry about making it super-accurate, just focus on the characteristic parts of the face and have fun

the outcome might not look like the ref, but it will be different and more varied than faces you draw out of your head, an dprobably pretty rad on its own right!

feel free to reblog with your drawing, if you want!

I've finished inking it in! One more step to go (the coloring!) before it's finished. 🔷 Inking drawings seems to always make me a *little* nervous 'cause ink, if you don't know, is very unforgiving; there's no room for error so you either do it right or own up to your mistakes. However, I feel it's very rewarding in the end, as I get to see my idea start coming together. This makes inking my second favorite step in my current art process. 😊 🔷 Side thought: I'm thinking of "reposting" my art pics alongside each other like this so you guys can see my progress. So I hope you guys are okay with seeing repeats as it were, though I'll be showing the newest pic to you first. 🔷 I was hoping to be done with this today, but I've been busy lately getting ready for a family vacation trip. That being said, this may be my last post for the week. Until I get back, I hope you enjoy and see ya later~ 😎 ☀️ 🏞 ⛺
