Tutor Tues. PDF Next Week

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

Because I was asked how I proceed on another picture but I didn’t really save my steps so this time I have been more careful.

It’s a very chaotic and intuitive process, so I guess it’s more to reply to @rincat21 than for giving tips or helping\teaching something. I used for a very long time the flats+shades+highlights technique, but I am a control maniac when it’s about pics and I find that this way there is more control on the final colors since the beginning. On a less refined way, I do the same when sketching. This took about 5h and it’s my feel-good technique.

That’s all i suppose…? I am very likely to be around (must get comics pages finished by the end of the year so to celebrate when I’ll meet my colleague at the comics fair LOL) so if you want more in-depth info on something just ask :)

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~

Here’s my #ArtvsArtist collages! I’m sure you’re wondering why there’s two of them. Well, the first one showcases my best work from late 2017, and the second one shows my best work from this year, along with some sneak peeks at art I haven’t posted yet. 😅 Here’s to more art-making next year! 😊 🔹⠀ #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #originalartwork #creative #draw #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #pen #pencil #inking #digitalart #character #characterdesign #comic #comicart #traditionalart #illustration #digitalpainting #ArtvsArtist2018 #ArtvsArtist2017 #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/BsFGpWuBmpo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3g0fetup7qd

Here's the next sketch for my 100 Themes Challenge. There was a character in the middle, but I think I'm going to draw that part digitally because all the lines were starting to get visually confusing for me.⠀ 🔹⠀ I've been wanting to put more patterns and Zentangle elements in my work. I'm hoping this turns out good. 😊

ideas of exercises to help with your practical art skills, as well as things to keep in mind while making art and new ways to find inspiration:

draw every day

recreate a drawing you did before, but better

draw something using only simple geometric shapes

do studies of famous artworks

listen to artists explain their work, it’s super interesting

take life drawing classes (or use online photo resources)

find an artwork you love, and work out why

draw caricatures of friends

set a 1 minute timer and draw an object as quickly as possible

draw something you can’t see, eg. music, emotion

research artists you admire and find out how they work

think about composition: what stands out, what recedes etc.

find a famous artwork you hate and work out why

sit outside and draw the landscape

copy a photo exactly

draw a scene from a film

draw the contours of an object not the outline

visit an art exhibition near you

draw your bedroom

look up tutorials online - there’s so many useful ones!

practise creating contrast between light and dark in pictures

research colour theory

do a self portrait

learn about art history! Research different movements etc.

try a new medium

consider the feeling you want to portray with the artwork

draw without looking at the page

draw a character from a book you’ve read

draw something you don’t usually draw

look at your pictures in the mirror to help you see problems better

follow artists and galleries on instagram for inspo

draw an ugly object in a beautiful way

try using only bold, bright colours

plan your colour palette before starting an artwork, and stick to it!

if you usually work in 2D, make something in 3D

always remember to add shadows

draw an object which is important to you

use 5 lines to depict an object, make every line count

draw using negative space

always draw from life when possible!

think carefully about which direction the light is coming from

study proportions and anatomy!! 

draw your pet

research items symbolic meanings in art

make an art blog to compile images that inspire you

draw using only straight lines

try accentuating any subtle colours in an image

draw models from fashion websites

sketch with friends! They always have great ideas

keep drawing even if you find it hard, you improve with every mistake!

Good luck! xx

I've finished inking it in. The amount of times my new micron bled out more ink than I wanted is ridiculous though. At least the line work looks decent overall.⠀ 🔷⠀ I started school again two weeks ago and it's been difficult to find a new groove that works for me. I'm settling into this new schedule slowly but surely, so I hope that I will be able to make more time for drawing in the near future.⠀ 🔷⠀ Enough with my mini vent. I hope you enjoy more details of my OC Helyna at "school." 😊

Made this for my bf and I’s anniversary. I miss him dearly. 😔💙💚 I was hoping to have this piece finished by today, but I’ve been feeling unwell lately and needed to rest and take care of myself. 🔹 #art #artsy #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #digitalart #digitalartwork #Photoshop #digitalpaint #Wacom #originalartwork #wip #myart #arts #cartoon #creative #instadraw #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr #artistsonblogger #artistsontwitter #artist #CrystaltheCC #CrystalCurie (at Anaheim, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZlvjzD2pH/?igshid=v49tyvc1gpgf

Yesterday was my birthday and I wanted to draw something special. It's a redraw of something I drew a couple years ago. I raced the clock but couldn't get it done before midnight, so here it is today. Hope you enjoy! 😊
