digital

This feels like it could be a fun kids activity page. When I started this doodle it was just the hill with the tunnel maze and a few things added in the maze area. It didn’t feel like it was going anywhere, but as I kept adding things I started to get into it and now I’m happy that I didn’t ditch it. It’s always fun when a piece surprises me. It never gets old.

Digital vs Analog, best of both worlds -- Sketched in Rebelle 3 and inked with a Platinum 3776 Century Shungyo SF. Ink is Platinum Carbon Black.

Fun digital doodles.

Comic about love.

So cute. I did this for a whimsical winter painting challenge at Escapemotion/Rebelle

I'm pleased with how this turned out. I cannot wait till February when mine blooms.

I just finished painting from a holiday painting course; it was so much fun making this. Happy Holidays

I took a portrait collage course, and this is my first project. Fidelia Bridges painted incredible watercolors and landscapes, and the instructor assigned her as the subject.

I found out recently that a good friend of mine's dog passed away. I didn't know how to react so I drew this for her. Ellie was a great dog who loved people and adventures. She's not gone. She's just on a new adventure, making new friends.

A foray into art nouveau inspired artwork. It was a stretch for me...

Digital pencil sketch

I started rewatching the Saw franchise

I got a little emotional when I heard the Lahaina banyan tree would make it through the Maui fire. I found a reference and painted a watercolor of the new growth. I come from a Navy family and was born in Hawaii. Let me know if I got the transparency and shading right or if it is aesthetically pleasing.

Experimenting with digital watercolor brushes.

Tones of red using my mouse as a subject. I have a desktop aquarium that provided tones of blue.

I want the composition to be thoughtful but on the sad side. My skill practice was brush strokes and blending (but not overdoing the blending) as I try to figure out how I stylize as an artist. Still working in the realm of realism and proportions as I am a newbie, but wanna flex into stylization a bit more. I did this through Rebelle 5, which is absolutely amazing, IMO.

I have been watching a lot of sci-fiction lately. Like so many others my age or younger, the weight of global warming sits on my shoulders constantly. I imagined the final trek through a wormhole as someone sees their new solar system for the first time. I enjoy the bright colors and such but wish I conveyed a more bittersweet emotion.

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.
