Emery Nelson's Faves

I always tell students to start a project with quick sketches to develop a shape language. Plus research, then you can start to generate ideas. This is one of who knows how many small sketches I'll do to start this project. #ideation #designsketches #pilo

Print available in my Etsy shop. Made on my iPad Pro.

Ink and Watercolor sketch of octopus. Normally I start with a pencil outline, then go over it with micron pens. But I'm learning to skip the pencil step and just sketch with ink. I helps you not to overthink things. Once you lay the ink line down on the paper it's there to stay. You can't erase and there isn't an undo like you have when working digitally. You just have to work around any "mistakes" you make. I'm also working on sketching faster because I just don't have that much free time these days. Trying to produce a new sketch every day is a real challenge.

One of my favourite artwork.i was inspired by one of the artist.

Some LGBTQ+ members of the community can’t openly love who they want to love, so the bars represent that barrier. The fabric, with all its complex folds and creases represents sensuality, desire and love. Love, in all its forms is a complex thing of beauty.------------- The companion piece to my previous post ‘Ecstasy.’ Agony and Ecstasy were always meant to be a diptych. The issue for me is that there is a two-year gap between the completion of the two - there is a noticeable difference in the the way both were drawn. Faber Castell pastel pencils, Black and White Generals charcoal pencils on 9” x 12” Strathmore Toned Grey sketchbook paper.

Beautiful Watercolor Rainbow Splash for pride month

I’ve had an ongoing interest in the transgender countenance.

Graphite sketch of a spotted Python.

A dragon I designed and sculpted, took many many hours to complete but super happy with the outcome. Sculpted using polymer clay, painted with acrylic gouache and coated with varnish.

Made with pen, ink pencil and gel pen. Started off as a quick sketch to loosen the cobwebs but turned into a piece that I dived into and developed more of my own style.

Thought I would post up something more doodly for all us doodle addicts out there. Still black and white ink, just cuter.

Thought I would surprise viewers with something a little different this time around.

Here's a piece of pencil art.

This is a detail on an A3 piece done in pencil.

Something in colour for a change.

If anyone likes BTS, then they will like this scribble art.

Here we have the boy being precious in, as I’m sure he would like to be depicted, abstract form (/nsrs)

I’m pretty proud that this looks pretty fluid, and the hand looks pretty hand-like. Sorry that the image can’t be further away without showing my math notes so it had to be in a screenshot thing lol
