Fred Rock is Back!!!! “Fred Rock and the Quest for the Ultimate Power Chord” My first attempt at a dragon...

First attempt at dotted style. From a photo of a famous French cartoonist.

First attempt ever at acrylic paint pens. I might paint over this guy with Silver and Gold because I think he looks terrible. I dunno.

This is my first attempt in a long while to start digital art again I was actually messing around with a couple of the features when I actually got this! I hope it looks for a first try

First attempt at a skull! Done in Adobe Illustrator

Hello this is my first attempt at drawing this oc belongs to me and bray

First attempt at engraving style pen drawing. Not bad for a first try, but significant room for improvement.

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.

I've started a fantastic Domestika Course by Ruth Wilshaw: "Painting Atmospheric Landscapes with Gouache." It's my first attempt at gouache painting. I'm so excited to try this art medium. I've only painted with watercolors so far. Thank you, Ruth, for your course. I enjoy it so much!

This is the first attempt at drawing my wife’s feet. I thought I would try to draw her feet because they are so hard to draw (and they’re cute).

Robin (Dick Grayson). This was my first attempt at making art from words instead of construction lines.

This is my first attempt at drawing something and cutting and repositioning it so it will make a repeating pattern.

Its been a while. Here is a new one that I have been working on for a few days. Its my first attempt at using graphite powder for the black background. I used a Lyra 9B Graphite Crayon and ground it down myself into powder. Worked really well. I also purchased a Strathmore Series 500 mixed media roll. The amount of high quality paper for the price - it can't be beat. I am excited with this drawing!

This is a bit of mixed media here. I used Acrylic paints and Arteza colored pencils. This was my first attempt on trying to be kind of realistic, I think it turned out pretty decent. I had a lot of fun doing this one. I'm also currently doing another wolf. Enjoy. Artwork © Katie M.E Arteza Acrylic Paints Arteza Color Pencils

This was my very first attempt at the grid. I restarted drawing about October or November of 2020. I was watching something on YouTube and a video came up about a street artist who uses the grid method when scaling up their artwork for the sides of buildings. It got me thinking ... and drawing ... and learning. Its so much fun to watch something slowly come to life from the paper. This was done in a sketchbook. After that I went and got a 9 x 12 inch Strathmore drawing pad - series 300. I have researched paper and I found a great deal on the Strathmore Series 500 roll. 40 inches (or something) by 8 yards! I can't wait to see how the projects improve when the quality of the paper increases. I am currently working on a gift for a friend. Its a drawing of their baby in a little piggy outfit. Unfortunately - I won't post it because its a picture of someone's baby ( I don't have permission - yet) ... but I am super happy with it so far!

Nic Pro 2 mm graphite lead holders (4h - 4B) on Strathmore medium surface drawing paper (9"x12"). This was my first attempt at using a proportional divider.

Second attempt at uploading my fantastimazing aunt, first attempt I added it without the shading layer, whoops, anyway, fantastimazing is not a word I just like it so here we are!

First attempt at a realistic animal

Developing my style , I love stippling and cross hatching so thought I’d give it a go!

Hi guys! This is my first attempt at a concept art! I'm doing a course about this and this one is my first project, and i really want to see what the community thinks of it, please do share your thoughts on this! I'm really new to digital painting and painting in general so i know i have a lot to improve.

My first attempt at a portrait. The subject is the YouTuber Creeparoni (GO FIND HER AMAZING CHANNEL!), who gave me the permission to hack at her image... and while I feel I failed to capture her 'On the beauty-o-meter-scale-of-one-to-ten-the-needle-broke-at-thirteen' looks... Well... at least I can say I know every line of her face as well as her closest friends. That's reward enough for me. ;-)

First attempt on a cat profile. Was really surprised that I was able to do this level of quality.

Heh just a quick photo of a comic page I was working on- it's for my own personal project and stories. Also first attempt at drawing that guys design... Like I always had the idea and concept, but I never finished it on paper before. - I work traditionally...so I really gotta be careful to not mess up much lol

So I worked for a few hours on a drawing of McCree that I was going to post today. However I am a dummy and didn't save anything since the sketch layer and then my drawing program crashed.... :'( So new plan! I had this old painting of D.Va I never finished but I really wanted to post it! So I kinda quickly finished it up and here she is! This is one of my first attempt at digital painting so it's not great but I am pretty content with it.

My first attempt at character development

First attempt at still life watercolor painting

My first attempt at somewhat abstract art. Less colorful than those of Congo, the painting ape.

This was my first attempt at an OC a while ago. My artist friends have OCs; most of them have around ten different ones. I still haven't come up with a name for her and I drew this a while ago. I also haven't drawn her again or created any other OCs. I know it looks bad but I literally drew this in study hall and none of my drawings ever look like I put any effort into them. Maybe you could help me come up with a name for her?

Charcoal on toned paper - first attempt

My first attempt with Procreate.
