Working on tiger in pastels

This is part of my daily Sketchgrind day 11. That's how I felt when I quit my job working in a highly competitive office job in the financial sector and started to work full time as an artist. One oft he best decisions I have ever made, I flourish and develop every day, living life on inspiration. I also made a mini animation https://youtu.be/9aMjPPK5yCc .

Made this illustration inspired by workshop.

This is one of my favorite artworks, it is done with oilcolors on canvas. Really enjoyed making it

Just a redraw of a work I did for an AP class

Since folks like the one of Mars, I figured I should upload this one as well. Same concept, but I think the Mars one worked better for the commission.

Ol' Wilfred Redballs

For Malaysia Sci-Fi movie - XXRAY III. January 2019. Ink on a3 paper. Duration 3 hours.

Another print I did. Get ready, I'm getting close to uploading my worthless doodles rather than finished pieces I've actually worked on.

I’m fascinated in how something may make you feel. For instance, I’m deeply moved by images of outer space from the Hubble space telescope, but I do not try to recreate those photographs in my work. What does not exist in those photos, is how they may make us feel. This is why you won’t see any “realism” in my art. When we send astronauts to space, they can discuss factually what is happening, but what truly moves human beings is when astronauts describe how they felt while they were there. So, I choose to express how I feel, as opposed to illustrate what I see.

Working on my stippling and hatching so I decided to draw a horse, done with ink.

Our Dining Room is my favorite room in the house. Every family meal we eat at home happens there - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Meal times are our sacred family time to share our day, our thoughts, our struggles, our successes, etc. We do have a breakfast area. But aside from homework, projects, or reading the newspaper, the breakfast area doesn't get much use unless needed for overflow from the dining room when we have visitors.

Red & Black ink worked on with handmade nibs and pens, marker sketch

My grandma is a craftswoman . She used to work at a Talavera pottery studio and sometimes I would skip school and join her at work. She would give me an imperfect blank pottery piece and lend me her painting supplies so I could create my own art.

Painting for a show in 2016

The monsters we create A collection of creatures born from our impact and existance on Earth. This is a work in progress project, it doesn't yet have a name, but the story becomes more clear every day. Soon I will have more details about it, until then take care, this runner is taking a real shape and it's after you. He is the money maker, the greedy, the selfish buyer of unnecessary things with money he doesn't have. Sounds familyar? 7x7 cm linoprint © Maria ! Balan, 2018
