digital art

Exploring texture and line.

Digital artwork for an artist friend from the island of La Réunion, who like painting volcanos. The exotic bird is from that island,

I have a hard time trying to decide what my "style" is. This comes closest I think. Plus I LOVE drawing chickens. These are two of my own grumpy ladies.

Gorgeous mountain tree on washi kozo paper.

There are practice excercises on Youtube for the sketchbook app. It was just for the flower, which I didn't quite get it right and I changed the background and added the bee. I am actually proud of the bee. That's breakfast.

Rest in Power, Paul Reubens. I watched a lot of Pee-wee Herman as a young kid. As an adult, Paul Reuben's collection of erotic gay art made him interesting to me but misunderstood by many people. Any way you take him, he was funny and made many people laugh. I painted a scene from Pee-wee's Big Adventure, a classic Pee-wee movie from 1985. I love the California scenery and am happy with how the landscape turned out.

I am amazed summer after summer seeing this tree and garden grow. I started this with a blue background and a black layer that I punched through, and from there, I painted layer by layer from the back to the front. I like the realism I got, but I kept to a painterly feel using oil brushes.

I wanted to capture an introspective feeling and show the Detroit River's expansiveness. I went with a late summer sunset vibe with lots of warm pinks and cool blues.

Take it how you want. You either give everything to social media, or it takes everything from you. In the end, you are left naked and hollow. I wanted to make this a simple composition at its core. The image is more about the message. Times Square took forever to put together, I think the perspective is off just a bit. Overall, I think I did well with shading and depth. I am also improving on drawing/painting the human form. I wish I could trust in shapes and form and go a bit more abstract, but I think that will come with experience.

My first attempt at digitally drawing two people from a reference and experimenting with various watercolor and ink splatter techniques. Comments and critique always welcome. ♡♡♡

Anxiety and panic attacks make me feel like I want out of my own skin. I wanted to try and capture an extreme version of what it feels like.

Ennis Grieving. Watercolor. Ive only been able to watch Brokeback Mountain once, but this scene is emblazoned in my memory.

My work is a blend of 2D and fantasy characters. Mixed with cool and warm colors. With a focus on fine art and mysticism.

Can you imagine going through a swamp like this?

My favorite local tea shop bought a design of mine for their employee's shirts!

Part of a personal project I'm working on right now, to experiment with unfamiliar art styles and practice lettering skills by drawing animals. I enjoyed this foray into digital mosaic (or fauxsaic as I've seen it called).
