I tried coming up with a color palette from a color wheel. Trying to learn more about color theory. I'm actually 100% self taught, if you don't count the plethora of YouTube videos I've watched over the years. Drawn with FireAlpaca.
I did this artwork for a public art exhibition called "Home is where the Art is". Initially the drawing was supposed to just be a open mouth with a snake coming out of it but I felt that it lacked a story and a strong enough message so I drew the other snakes on and added the 2 other faces. The story behind this image is entirely up to the viewer but my take on it was that different people react differently to certain information, my main focus was the distribution of secrets and since many teenager refer to people that let their secrets loose as snakes I thought why not depict it in that form. The drawing displays three reactions to learning another's secret, one passes the secret on to another, the other defends it ferociously in your face but lets it slip loose when nobodies looking and the other receives the information and holds onto it
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. :)
This drawing, with a bit of watercolour, was done years ago in North Vancouver during a figure drawing session. Probably 15 - 20 minutes. Watercolour, subtly employed, can have wonderful affects. The challenge of working fast forced me to ditch excess thinking. And it's funny, because at first I thought, "Oh, this is terrible." Then the next day, with fresh eyes, or checking out the drawing in a mirror, I think, "Wow! How did I not see how good this is?" Never throw out your artwork immediately after a drawing session. Give them a few days and look at your work with fresh eyes.
I named it "fictional dinosaur" to cover that I'm not able to manage proportions and perspective of a real T-Rex. Naming can be as powerful as a pen :-)
It's not exactly a cat. Based on Eugene the Jeep from Popeye the Sailor Man. Look it up --- it looks nothing like a cat. But, alas, my subconcious mind went, "tail, means cat," and I drew this. Their name is Jeepers.
A staggering three votes were recieved, all of which voting for the blue color palette for Elizabeth! It has been decided; Elizabeth will now be blue and orange in all future variations! Thank you all so much for participating! Drawn With FireAlpaca.
