Did A Portrait From A Pinterest Reference Today. I’ve Been Trying To Get The Hang Of Digital Drawing,

Captain Nemo

I drew this piece in 2019, and although I can see lots of mistakes and imperfections, it's still one of my favourite artworks

A little colored pencil doodle cause I was hungry.

Started as a pose study from Pinterest, but I think I want to turn it into something more. This is just the sketch before I do the watercolours over it, but I probably won’t get to colouring for a bit, since I’m fairly busy this week.

I’ve been really in my head recently, and haven’t been drawing as much since I haven’t been getting good results with my art in the past week. To get out of it, I decided to try and draw in ink and cross hatch(I looked up tutorials). I think even though these aren’t good, it was helpful to try something different from what I generally do, and something which I know for sure I’ll be bad at. It takes some pressure off.

Still getting the hang of drawing digitally, but here’s my anthurium.

Everything I draw has to be on a more or less white background since the colour seems a bit transparent.

Trying hatching. This is actually a wip, since unfortunately I sorta messed it up when I did the full piece(made the background black, which made the guy look washed out).

Just got some markers. These are my first two times using them. I still have a lot to learn, but they’re pretty fun.

(Although I still haven’t quite learned how to do likenesses, so it doesn’t look that much like him)

I’m not really happy with it, but I wanted to post something. I’ve been pretty busy recently and was trying out transparency. I’m not there yet.

Been having a bit of art block recently. Still keeping up with practice, but haven’t really finished anything I’ve been happy with. Decided to just sit down for a bit and see what came out and I got this thing. Idek what it actually is, to be honest, but I like it.

(Oops it has one two few petals. That was definitely an intentional decision and not bc I forgot what flowers look like)

I doodled this on the back of my laptop(pencil rubs off easily, so I haven’t ruined it or anything), since I didn’t have paper with me at the time. It was done in a few minutes, but I actually like the hat and I wanted to post something.
