Somehow the tree trunk looks like a female figure to me.
I'm not sure if I really like this illustration, but my imagination plays here a lot.
I could draw a bit lighter background to make more contrast for the tree trunk. What do you think?
It's a quick digital recreation of my last gouache painting.
And I don't like it very much.
- I had trouble finding a good brush for painting leaves on the top of the tree.
- There is no magic like in traditional art.
- I didn't enjoy drawing as much as painting with gouache.
- I couldn't peel off the tape when I was done.
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!
I love hilly landscapes. But I'm not good at drawing them. The one thing that I should do is practice. I have to take a sketchbook and draw/paint 100 mountains.
The trees also could be better. I failed by drawing details on this illustration.
Day 11 of #whimsicalByMamaminia art challenge.
In real it's a meteor shower. But our imagination allows us to create fantastic images.
I love stars. I love landscapes. So it's a final illustration of these both with a fine whimsy touch :)
Day 5 of #whimsicalByMamaminia art challenge.
I rarely do pieces with a full color background, landscapes and all. But I really enjoyed doing this piece. It shows a place and character from my novel project "The Hidden Kingdoms". Drawn in pencil, then scanned and colored digitally.
It's a second attempt at drawing a landscape with a water element.
I'm not focusing on many details by drawing water. Creating a lot of blurry shapes and lines gives a great reflection effect.
Warm and cool winds mixing and blowing over sand ridges. A memory from living on the edge of a desert in Western Australia. Sometimes, walking the early morning the air is still cool in the shade of the trees, but the moment you step out into the sun, it is already hot.
A quiet place by the waterfall. I recently I started drawing the vibes I get from music. This is of Nujabes' Music for Samurai Champloo. Highly recommend.
