1 of 5 characters I scrapped but revived for Artfight. This is a redesign and it is his first time being colored in digitally. I'm happy with him and will likely add him to future projects.
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.
Some works were born to be prodigious. Once the preliminary lines were laid within the first minute, the quality of the shapes, the diagonal composition and the weight were balanced out.
With the black mass as the hood, a face, hidden underneath, is unveiled. With the addition of the black fingers and the white hand, the full figure surfaced naturally.
The black fingers are the minimal suggestions to add character. The title `Remorse’ came about because of the bowed head and the pose.

I got inspiration from my first gouache painting.
After a few minutes of research on Pinterest, I got the Eureka Moment!
"Hmm... Maybe I should draw the twisted tree from my painting, which will be full of stars on its branch?"
And here it is - the final look. I like it!
My very first freehand from the past almost two decades, scribbled it at dawn, after ten hours of work just to see where the lines take me. I learned that I really enjoy drawing hair strain by strain.
This is a work in progress! I decided to use those Adobe apps for the first and perhaps last time because of the app shutting down. This art style is inspired by Looney Tunes + Don Bluth. Please enjoy!
First Attempt at using watercolour! I had a lot of fun doing this simple pear and looking forward to seeing where this journey with watercolour will take me!
My first botanical illustration. Romulea rosea is a small member of the iris family indigenous to the fynbos biome here in South Africa. Oil paint on canvas. A4 size.
My amazing boyfriend. ^^ first time doing this kind of painting. Thought it came out pretty good ^^ blending became challenging particularly for the shines of the skin. But over all, Im pretty happy with it ^^ hope you like it ✌
Remember to credit me when you make this and ASK if you can! If you don't ask me your work will be taken down (This is just temporary to see where the species is going) And yes, there back is covered in scales (I will have to work on a ref) There ears are always flopped, never pointed. NO SPECIES INSPIRATION! NO MIXING WITH MY SPECIES! This is my first species so I want to monitor it. This is an f2u species not p2u so just ask me. If too many rules are broken by too many people, this species will be closed. If you have any questions just ask in the comments and I will get to them as soon as I can! Love y'all!
Spring is coming, A time of change and new beginnings. - This is the first time posting something on this platform. I'm very curious about this community. If you have critique on this piece I would be happy if you tell me, so i can improve my art :)
First one in a quest to pick up drawing again. Reference from instagram's #drawthisinyourstyle -challenge by tyymes (https://www.instagram.com/tyymes/) #tyymes2k
For some reason I tried some floral drawings, of different shapes, and I also used mixtures of different colors to produce hues of green. The first page - it’s a mix of the cobalt blue (PB 28) and cadmium yellow medium (PY 35). On the second one there is ultramarine (PB 29) for the blue color and the same yellow paint. To me, it seems the difference is very little but I’ve got the color closest to the ‘normal’ green using Cobalt rather than ultramarines. The latter gave either to yellowish to olive hues or too blueysh
