first

So I'm a little behind the curve, but here's my day 1 for Inktober. This was my first time using my fountain pen for drawing, so I can't complain too much. There's definitely some room to grow. Lined with a TWSBI Eco: fine nib with Organics Studio Walden ink on Tomoe River paper. I'm a sucker for sheen, what can I say. The sad attempt at shading was done with a wet paper towel, so I'm guessing I could try upgrading my technique there ;D

First attempt at humpback whales.

Was in an art slump, so have started new project (aim to finish by September) where I am drawing a "song" from each of Circa Survive's mainline albums (six total) - the first is from Juturna, song "Holding Someone's Hair Back".

One of my first works actually. I think I have a bad habit of apply the paint on pretty thick... Idk. But I still liked its finish ^^

Albarracín, Spain. My first time trying an urban sketching. Although it's only from a reference photo, it's a good way to practice this art technique. Line art and watercolour wash on a watercolour sketchbook. I used a Sakura Micron Pigma 5.

Hello guys! First post at Doodle Addicts. Quick painting sketch in Procreate

A character from a writing WIP as The Hanged Man tarot card. First in a series.

My first attempt at an abstract painting. It was the first time I tried using palette knives also. I didn't really have an idea in mind for this, I just kinda went with it. Came out pretty cool looking, almost like an abstract nebula. I used iridescent and interference Golden acrylic paints

My first skin shading! It wasn't easy hahaha

My very first (decent} character spread. I don't do it often, but this time it was pretty enjoyable.

I just started cross hatching thanks to @apricotjams and I loved it and this is my first cross hatched drawing

My first time using cut paper, to add the branch. I think the chameleon is more comfortable now.

This is my first time at creating a wallpaper

This is my first upload, and I did this digitally. Please like!

Day 18: I have been using an old-style safety razor for about a year now. Changed the blade for the first time and, yowzah, I got cocky with that dull blade.

TBH, I loved Fable 2 best, it was my first.

I'm back and I feel a lot better! I will be posting more! I am so exited to be posting this summer! I will be missing the first 2 weeks of July due to vacation in Orlando, Florida. I love you guys! Let your flags fly!

This is literally my very first drawing on this animation tablet!

This was the first ever attempt at a pet portrait. A friend brought over a few canvases and I broke out my paints and just started having a go at it. Turned out better than I thought!

Ink sketch of a teacup - symbol originally used in the first version of my Studioerin website in 2001.

My first post on here! A simple little sketch on a post-it note. Sometimes you just start doodling and your not sure what your gonna end with!

First outdoor sketch this year.

Finally done. For my first Bison, I’d say it’s pretty good. I didn’t really bother with the background or foreground, as you can see. I’d love any suggestions for other projects!

This post is a doodle of Batman. It's my first attempt at digital painting. I have bought an old Wacom tablet and i'm trying to get used to draw on it!

I am continuing to try to paint without outlining in pen first - just starting with a pencil sketch. I used this awesome photo as reference: https://www.pexels.com/photo/chimpanzee-sitting-on-gray-stone-in-closeup-photography-during-daytime-33787/

The first painting in a series of watercolor portraits of women who have changed or influenced history.

Inspired by a drawing challenge to draw two objects based on the first letters of your first and last name. I thought a chameleon and labrador would be fun to draw together, because it reminds me of the friendship that forms when an extrovert adopts an introvert ^_^ This is my first digital drawing that I tried without using line art. It was challenging to get the hang of, but I like the bright and simple effect of it.

Using Aretha Everbleend markers for first time

In case this is the first drawing of mine that you see, I like to use dark and heavy outlines. It really limits the sense of a real life animal. I’m trying to change my style, but it’s hard. Hopefully I can start to progress
