A belated Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! I made some Christmas-themed changes to my Nerdy Ninjas mascot. :)⁠⠀ 🔹⁠⠀ #art #artsy #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #drawing #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitaldrawing #painting #digitalpainting #doodle #sketch #sketchbook #digitalartist #photoshop #illustrator #artwork #conceptart #characterdesign #characterdesigner #instaart #instaartist #instadraw #Christmas #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystalCurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJUwHRcjZiB/?igshid=be81wm7e01

Starting a month-long Figure Drawing Challenge course, taught by Pencil Kings. I’m hoping I can stick to it and not “drop the ball” like I have with my other projects. This is my ‘before the challenge’ sketch. 🔹 #art #drawing #sketch #artwork #draw #artistsoninstagram #sketchbook #artoftheday #arts #sketching #pencildrawing #artists #artistsofinstagram #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #drawingoftheday #pencilsketch #instadraw #sketchoftheday #artdaily #dailysketch #drawingsketch #sketchdaily #drawingchallenge #figuredrawing #pencilsketch #illustrator #artist #CrystaltheCC #CrystalCurie (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEYUTjiDJ82/?igshid=12e95524ukyd

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d struggle this much to keep up with the drawings…but I’m still going! Here’s the sketch for Theme 5: Welcome.

Love these! 😊🧪❤️💜💚💙

OAC Day 8: Ivy the Witch! 😊🧙🏽🧹🎃⁠ I’ve been feeling like drawing witches so I wanted to make this my last prompt for October. Swipe ➡️ to see a previous iteration of this theme. 🔹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHeOYfmDx_l/?igshid=1cdkagdldwwvn

Sorry for the lack of art guys! Who knew that the beginning of the year would be so busy? 😩 I'm trying to get back into a groove of drawing everyday, starting with yesterday's Cognitive Drawing exercise: draw a flexing man from memory (no references). How do y'all think I did? 🔹 Honestly I feel like I'm looking at one of my high school drawings. Not that bad, but not that great either. Let's see how much I learn with the next exercises yeah? 😁

I started my next school semester recently, and my first assignment for my Illustration class was to make a self-portrait collage. I finished it the other day. I originally thought I would have to shred up the images more, but my prof was satisfied with this layout. I like how it came out. 😊

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
