art

Been a busy couple of weeks, school holidays are always a bit tricky to find time. I have been working on some illustrations for a software product that my husband and I are building so I can't share those at this stage but I was back at the gallery today sketching with my new drawing group, I spent most of my time with a bunch of Mesoamerican statues. I am starting to not get so freaked out by people watching me draw :)

As part of my Woodland Critters series I decided to add a romantic painting of Mother Earth with her fella The Green Man having a loving moment...

I'm practicing clothing folds. Today's outfit also fratures a pocket full of orange peels my daughter handed me when there was no trash can around.

Just a late night sketch of my favorite flower

Created for a family member to be displayed in an exhibition of art and photography.

"Spade - Magic Card Tournament" ♠️ ✨ Character design for a videogame idea based on a futuristic world in which there is an artificial magical card tournament held every decade. The main character, Spade wants to bring peace to her world by winning the tournament and being granted one wish.

Digging through some mid-century and art nouveau pieces to put the composition together for this one.

Something random from my head.

another quick sketch

Decided to try and draw realistically. It’s the rap god himself Eminem

so I did this cause I wanted to see how my anatomy was being put to a test. It came out better than I had expected.

A scene from Cirque du Soleil's Luzia.

Meme trend thing me and my Discord friends had decided to do.

Thinking through an insect character design aimed to appeal to someone who isn't a 7-year-old boy.

This one I made in preparation of St. Patricksday this year.

Still feeling this spooky character. The texture on the drawing is from RetroSupply

One battle ends and another begins. The war is never over...for it is war eternal. Ink on watercolor paper (C) 2019 ESS22

My tribute to my good friend who died earlier this year. Another white pastel on black paper. Not my favourite media but I love the effect of it. I need to practice more as I can't get my head around working on negative lol, erasing to get shadows and filling in to get highlights etc. I used a chunky white stick and a white pastel pencil but detail still eludes me lol. It's a technique I need to refine. It's the second picture of a dead person I've put on, apart from humph, so I'm a cheery little soul aren't I lol? Thanks for looking

The Super Bloom is still going in SoCal! On the trail are poppies, daisies, alyssum and now the mustard grass is in bloom. My process was an iPhone photo, then a drawing with color and then collage in Photoshop.

hahaaaa... sad times... I had a friend who had recently shot himself, and while everyone else with this prompt drew birthday parties and other kinds of happy surprises, I drew this, you can only imagine how concerned my art teacher was. Also, the lack of sleep I had was wearing on me, I spelled surprise wrong so I had to go on paint and correct it. It was the beginning of the school year and my friend had killed himself just at the end of summer break, when I was so busy having fun in the sun, it was the most surprising event I have experienced. So I tried to paint a beautiful scene with bright colors with a depressing scenario so that it wouldn't really match up... aka surprise.

Killing the messenger is always a blast! Ink spitshaded on hand-cut watercolor paper. (C) 2019 ESS22

Like painting by Barrie J Davies 2019, paint on A4 Khadi White Cotton Paper unframed, with deckled raw edges.
