pencil on paper. introducing fire elves. This was my favorite concept back when I was a noodle in high school. I have lots of doodles like this one, and a few are colored too. Can’t wait to share that with y’all
This head is from a broken sculpture I found in A church of Rome when I was exploring the city, you can see a lot of these sculpture on the streets when you look around.
Portrait of Mick Jenkins, Chicago hip hop artist. Looking to do more with this image and eventually turn it into a poster. Open to ideas if you would like to leave a comment.
Ballet dancers in coloured pastels which I don't use very often. I did this work a while ago as a test piece for the medium which I'd never used before. To be fair I don't enjoy doing pastel work myself but love to see it by other artists.
I've undertaken a new goal to upload a new piece of art every day. I'm already 28/28 over on my Instagram. This little number is from yesterday, he's just a pretty sad boy.
An artist and her inner world of self doubt and the highs and lows of pursuing her passion. Negative thoughts that appear to be real low vibe entities pressure her but still she believes in her dream.
This is my first attempt at traditional egg tempera painting. The panel is a Masonite board from Michaels, but I need to use true gesso because the egg tempera will not adhere to acrylic gesso. Some of my favorite artists used egg tempera. Andrew Wyeth, Robert Vickrey, and Colin Fraser are all masters of this ancient and archival medium. I have been self studying this technique for months and I was very excited to start experiencing the medium. Egg tempera is like layering stained glass on top of stained glass. the painter can expect a luminous glow to take shape as the colors blend visually through the layers of paint - assisted by the chalk of the true gesso. Egg tempera has been described as the closest painting technique to drawing, hence my draw to this medium.
Doodling in a sketchbook is very stress-relieving and calming. I recommend it to everyone :)
You don't need any artistic skills.
All you need is paper and a pen :)
Or a sketchbook and a fountain pen with purple ink, as in my case.
