nap

It's unapproachable.

I wanted to take snapshots of my day at the beach so I came up with the idea of doing story boards, little snippets of moments. Felt less pressure for perfection and created an atmosphere still.

Used one of the pictures I snapped for this draw.

Soft gold on deep maroon (acrylic) on canvas.

This artwork was inspired from snapchat, an app which I really love. I took one of my favourite filters and drew it on a person. It was an interesting experiment, I got the idea of google! Anyway I think it went really well. If you wanna see more of my art head to my YT and subscribe. Sorry I haven't been posting for a while, have a good day bye!!!

Discover : Lands Unknown is a tabletop game by Fantasy Flight Games. I saw this just sitting on a shelf in bookstore, snapped a pic and made a parody, I think the cover art looked nice, outside of that, I've never played it. LOL

I woke up from an afternoon nap on the couch to this pile of clean laundry. My son says it's boring because there's no color! But it's sumi ink, and I've only got watercolor. I've tried it before, and this ink will run. Time to order some colored pencils? Or use my son's markers!

This is the devil of taking nap. Inspire by people experience about this. So many people can hold their sleepy at noon, so I think maybe theres some devil of taking nap who always make us sleepy.

Ink on A2 paper. Shadow puppet inspired.

For Day 7 of Junefairytale, today is all about pillows. For this day, I decided to make The Little Moshlings Koala taking a little nap on top of a room full of pillows

Sketch today, cleanup and color tomorrow? Translating Jim Henson's crazy detailed puppets from the Dark Crystal into what I feel would be an appropriate illustrative style for 2D was a lot of fun, and I might fiddle around more with it. Character is an OC Skeksis with the title of Therapist/Psychologist, so the little designs on his jacket are supposed to represent neuron synapses and the back... thing (which you can't see from this angle) would look like a brain.

OH SNAP! If you're wondering about the song Timothy was singing a few pages back, it's from the "Ollie & Scoops" episode, Old Crumplecranks. It can be found here. https://youtu.be/GqoFrHoWJJM?si=zr-jqtgMtfrY1Oh6

made with gel ink pen for a future art book about mediterranean way of life. In the streets of Napoli we can find these little virgo statues in every corners and big men shirtless

Tim Drake & Jason Todd taking a nap. A reference was used.

I finally got to do a little digital art today. Dabi our Miniature American Shepherd female puppy napped beneath me while I sat on a bench outdoors. It is a quick watercolor done in Procreate on my iPad with the Apple Pencil.

I made this in procreate. He is called Snappy (aka Egg Dealer).

He's made a grave mistake.

My submission for custome culture competition by Vans Shoe.

I like to make dreamcatchers and sell them at the market, and mandalas are like drawn dreamcatchers.

This is a black-and-white revision of an illustration I made (hand-drawn) for an American Red Cross e-newsletter years ago. The original was in color; however, considering my current work is predominantly black and white, I thought it appropriate to update the illustration for my portfolio. © 2007-2018 Joe Blend.
