play

I played around with stylized head shapes and facial features by using a col-erase pencil to draw the basic structure, and then adding detail to it.

wheeeeeeee

First time oil pastel. Concepts and Hope: as a woman struggling with autism spectrum disorder I grew up not understanding basic concepts in the world around me. Maybe this is universal. I didn't understand why we had to go out to play in school for example, or I didn't understand other people might not be as honest as I always had been. A lot of concepts have a different meaning for someone like me. So here I am naked between the concepts, misunderstood but hopefully looking up. Maybe one day the world will be more like my ideals are, maybe I will create a circle around me of likeminded people, maybe the world will never change enough but I will find peace with myself. One day I will get peace, one way or another. Hope. Oh and yeah, it's a mess with the oil at the bottom. Does anyone have some ideas to improve my technique?

It is a design I have been working on lately.

Playing around with characters I’ve connected with through social media.

Playing catch up. Here’s a bad mono print of a cat. Tools used block printing ink and printing paper.

Working on drawing a piece for a friends birthday. Had fun playing around with some ideas. Very rough sketching no where near final piece.

Went off a different prompt list today because I really wanted to draw something chill. Also I wanted to do some reference pose practice. PIntrest is a god send for trying to figure out how body's move. XD. This one is much more simple since I wasn't too focused on finishing the full color. Instead I played around with a few of my drawing programs tools. Tried to use its coloring mask, patterns, and texture brushes to get a simple yet readable mood.

Day 1 of Inktober! I went off the official prompt list for this one and the prompt today was Ring! I know it's digital and in color so I'm probably breaking all the rules. However I wanted to use this Inktober to practice my digital art as I would really like to get the hang of this display tablet! Probably won't have anything as "finished" for everyday this month but I kinda fell in love with this alien girl and wanted to do the whole shibang! Or well at least half the shibang.

This is actually one of three sketches from my old sketchbook. The pose is a little off, but it's still kinda decent.

Had fun trying to capture this. Someday I'll figure out how to get the watercolor gradient I want. Meanwhile this was a fun way to practice and I freaking love these Daniel Smith watercolors. I definitely need to get some full tubes of certain colors. (Moonflower, Lunar Violet, Opera Pink, Cerulean Blue, all the Cobalts, i think all the Primateks - I haven't tried them all yet... *Sigh*)

playing with colors. Inner kid in me. XD #lateupload

So if any of you have played or watched Dangaropa you know it is kool. This is one of my OC's for that. She is the Ultimate Innocent. She helps out the Mastermind only to be betrayed by the Mastermind.

Just playing around with her design. Her face has a habit of changing and I think it may have something to do with the different style - I don't translate it very well.

Pencil Drawing

Playing around with anamorphic drawing. Inspired by February being Bird Feeder month

I'm taking part in a doodle-a-day challenge on Instagram - here's my entry for the prompt 'game'. I'm going for an adventure / lost boys theme, so reckoned hopscotch is the kind of game they might play in the sand :)

Shapes are good elements to play with, so, it gave birth to this artwork.

I’ve been playing a lot of megaman lately

Realms of Vibrant Oddites at display through poetic tales of welcome wonder. What emotions be boiled in this cauldron? Thoughts of mindful darkness play this way.

A WIP (work in progress) of a re-imagining of the characters Katy Kat and Ma-san from the Playstation Classic games, Parappa the Rapper & UmJammer Lammy.

From the Parappa the Rapper & UmJammer Lammy (c) PlayStation video games. My own re-imagined character designs.

From the Parappa the Rapper (c) Playstation video games - my own restyling / updated character designs.

My own restyling / updated character design of Parappa the Rapper (c) Playstation and UmJammer Lammy (c) Playstation video game characters. This is currently in the works to be a fan web comic series I will be doing.

The inspiration for this collection came from a conversation I had with the Founder and Executive Director of the Underprivileged And Underserved Foundation (UAUF), George Goodwine. While discussing race and whether or not every opportunity was fair based upon someone’s familial structure or “starting line,” I was asked the following questions. How does someone overcome these hurdles? How can the playing field be leveled to make things fairer, when others may only have 50 hurdles to overcome in the same competition? My response was simple. “The person in front of 150 hurdles has two choices. They can either get discouraged before they begin, or start jumping. In the midst of the race they might get tired, unsure, or discouraged, but if they press on to the finish line they may become more physically fit than the person who jumps over 50.” I used to dance ballet and at the time, there were a lot of hurdles I had to overcome solely based upon inconveniences that came with being raised in low-income, single parent home. Above are pencil sketches and sharpie drawings that I have drawn from actual photos. I plan on making these images my own by adding more abstraction and vibrant color to them. Over the course of the project, stay tuned to see how these pictures will transform into a work of ART!!! Check out my artwork at theservingartist.com

Was bored and I was gonna play video games but the games are down so I did this using a mouse tell me your thoughts about it peace.
