Playing around with photoshop

I absolutely loved the poet who spoke at the inauguration yesterday, so I looked up a photo of her and drew it. I would attach the photo, but I can’t upload more than one thing. :)

Based on the song mentioned in the tile. I added a photofox filter over it to make it look more emotional.

Drawn from a photo of Audrey Hepburn.

A quick digital sketch of Hot Rod from Transformers. Check out more of my artwork on sykografix.com.

I love the Blade Runner films and the new one had such awesome weird lighting that I had to draw Luv at least once. So here is the crazy psychotic android. Done with a mix of hard and soft pastel.

For this drawing, I used several reference photos from the early 1900s.

It was really hot (34c) so I thought drawing a snow wolf would cool me down. It didn't work...

Ceci est un de mes premier projet à l'acrylique. Il est composer essentiellement de couleur primaire. Il illustre un drapeau des États Unis d'Amérique blanc et rouge sur laquelle des étoiles à cinq pointe et astérisque, jaune, bleu, rouge, noir et blanc. Notez: c'est une photo prise avec un léger angle. / One of my first acrylic painting. Essentially from primary color.

Taken Dec 2019 - location Mexico Beach, Florida. Oh how I wish I could fly..

Acrylic on Canvas 80 x 60cm --- A good or bad spirit in this one? I think a good... Sorry for my bad photography skills, will work on that.

This is a lock. Also a heart.

This was probably one of the first pieces I have done where I used a reference photo for inspiration. I usually just use them for anatomy and perspective, but this time I stuck to the basic idea of the photo. (I still changed a lot tho, haha)

Keeping each other warm works well, but a hot chocolate makes it all even better ☕ What are your go-to warming beverages this winter?

Cute unicorns are my thing, hope it's yours.

I found a very nice picture taken by Jose Herrera of Cecilia on Behance. It inspired me to draw this picture and practice the anatomy and shape of the human body.

Home Corner, a digital study drawing done with photoshop. I love my plant so I decided to draw its little corner.

Something I created earlier for the fun of it.

Just wanted to draw something in between sessions working on Finals. Done in Photoshop CC 2020 with a Noise brush which works nicely like charcoal which I'm used to.

A study of a zen garden. :)

I figured it'd be a while until I draw (in full detail) ALL of the Altitone band members, so I made each one a sprite. Their names are (from left to right): (The first one is a base), Elizabeth the hot pink cat, Preistor the sky blue rabbit, Altor the golden bear, Bruce the green mouse, Lexibo the violet elephant, Mary the short red fox, Dexter the blue-gray Racoon DJ, and the three cheerleaders: Rosette the crimson mouse, Oopsie the russet fox, and Pastelle the cotton candy short-eared rabbit. On the very bottom are the instruments. In order, they are Elizabeth's mic, Preistor's guitar, Altor's drum set, Bruce's mic, Lexibo's piano, Mary's oil drum (not an instrument, but Mary hides her bottom half in the oil drum, sort of like Looney Bird from The Rock-afire Explosion (which is why she has no legs)), and Dexter's DJ board. The last three are cheerleaders, and their hands have been replaced with cheerleading pom poms. On stage left, we have Dexter and Mary. On the center stage, we have Preistor, Altor, Lexibo, Elizabeth, and Bruce. On stage right is Rosette, Oopsie, and Pastelle. Made with Piskel. (If you're wondering where Jester and Dellusion are, they aren't band members --- but rather seperate attractions (and Jester doesn't even perform.))

I sketched Rob on a hot Saturday morning when he was also sketching. Our focus was The Shine Dome, which is having it’s copper roof replaced.

Japantown sitting by the Ruth Azawa fountain. It was so hot and unusual for SF.

I asked my husband (who is our Covid-period grocery shopper as I am high risk) to bring home a fruit to draw. He came home with a dragon fruit. For those who don't know this interesting edible, it's from a cactus. There are two species: the Asian species is white inside, the Central American variety is shocking pink (see photo). Great in smoothies or when nicely ripe (as this one was) it's tasty eaten out of the skin with a spoon.
