Working on some secret commissions, so here is a throwback for one of my favorite portraits from last year, such a beautiful cat.
9x12” pastel pencils on pastelmat.
My avatar. Anime character skills need to be improved along with trying such freehand. Will continue that online course once I'm done fooling around with whatever concept I want to draw.
I wanted to see how far I get if I work on a single drawing for a day. Didn't bother myself with perfect shadowing or symmetry though... I'm going to burn through those nibs real fast drawing hair like this. :)
My very first freehand from the past almost two decades, scribbled it at dawn, after ten hours of work just to see where the lines take me. I learned that I really enjoy drawing hair strain by strain.
I was so impressed by the confidence of that one puff of a dandelion growing right up in the peonies... I thought it deserved a painting. I used acrylic inks and Posca markers.
Note: for some reason, every image is showing fluorescent greens? My file doesn't look like that, sorry.
A drawing of a scene in a forest in Rocky Mountain National Park. Large rocks strewn among tall trees on a hill side. The drawing was done with Pencil, pen and white charcoal.
