practice

Practice again and again. How difficult is it to draw some simple circles an ellipses?

Part of a personal project I'm working on right now, to experiment with unfamiliar art styles and practice lettering skills by drawing animals. This is my first foray into cubism-inspired artwork (definitely don't claim to be an expert on actual cubism)--it was way more fun than I expected! I think I'll be trying some more...

This was done as part of a realism drawing practice with my mechanical pencil.

More practice. So difficult to get over that learning hump lol. I feel like I am riding my bike up a hill and I'm struggling lol. However, I REALLY want to learn this art form.

She saw something in the darkness... something magnificent and horrific.

I want the composition to be thoughtful but on the sad side. My skill practice was brush strokes and blending (but not overdoing the blending) as I try to figure out how I stylize as an artist. Still working in the realm of realism and proportions as I am a newbie, but wanna flex into stylization a bit more. I did this through Rebelle 5, which is absolutely amazing, IMO.

I've been going through a kick lately and "finding" art in watercolor blobs.

Sometimes I use the Ho'oponopono method of healing in my healing practice. It really brings a lot of peace! When this reminder came to me in a recent session, I decided to make a drawing of it for my client.

Sketchbook practice

I made myself some motivational stickers to (hopefully) help with the CONSTANT negative self-talk that seems to be an innate part of my creative practice

Freehand sketching in ink from a photo reference I found online, to practice conveying that lots-of-stones look without drawing all the stones (photo credit: K. Mitch Hodge). Micron pens + alcohol markers.

These recent post have all been starting from random lines I put on the paper. Good practice for me.

Keeping up the practice! Thank you for looking at my drawing!

Cross hatching practice with ink.

So difficult to draw people. (ง ͠ಥ_ಥ)ง

huh?

Most evenings, I watch a couple of news programs streaming on my computer. During that time, I also make it a point to draw a person (usually from an on-line reference photo) with a No.2 yellow pencil (generally Ticonderoga) on whatever paper is handy on my desk. It's good practice and keeps my hands busy. These are some "News Doodles" done this past week.
