A little page from my digital sketchbook about the craziness of Christmas 2023. Despite that, I am so grateful for my loved ones. I am enjoying a cozy day with my husband and sweet Emma, my heart warm and happy. :) Sending lots of love and wishes for peace to you all
This one I designed when I was 7 years old,hence the silly name and simple design,but effective......I Recently stumbled upon yugioh card "ryu kishin" and really liked pose he was drawn in,so I tried to redraw my Vampis in that pose while using ink and polychromos colored pencils. I always imagined Vampis being some kind of mischeavius minion using shadows to move around doing all sort of childish pranks,like throwing rocks at windows,or setting houses on fire....it's one of the two monsters that I remember from young age and I kept redrawing him every year or so.
So, I got contacted by some suppossedly American guy for a commision on his son's dog. He sent a couple of pretty nice pics of it and I did this sketch. In the end it all turned out to be a very ellaborate scam, which I luckily realized before any harm was done. At any rate, I loved drawing this dog and I didn't even know I could create this because it's totally different from what I usually do. I value the experience I got out of this, overall, but be cautious out there. I've been victim to scam attempts four times in a month lately. Instagram is a wild place right now.
I drew this illustration without any expectations. It's not perfect, but I'm happy I created it. And I share it.
Perfectionism destroys your creativity and productivity!
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!
It's my third illustration with a lantern theme.
I had doubts while drawing this illustration. I changed the concept a few times. And I'm not sure if I got the expected effect.
But I'm not afraid to share it and say: "this illustration could be better."
It gives me the motivation to work harder.
It gives me reasons to push myself forward.
Have a creative weekend!
I began with the intention of creating a mandala, but it evolved into what looks like a cell. In my notebook next to this it says, "If the cells in my body were a reflection of my outward exterior, this would be a perfect representation." When the Universe bestowed upon me the gift of truly seeing color, my life was changed forever.
