Digital Angels

I've done very little in the way of creativity in the last couple of weeks, so I haven't had anything to share. Too much going on otherwise, plus I haven't felt that well myself.

I couldn't sleep early this morning, so I sat up in bed and learned some more about the digital art app on my Kindle Fire. I love bringing these little characters to life! I had already sketched the top one, but I added some spotted wings to her to add to her sweetness!

I played a bit more with the tools and colors on this one. Not quite as sweet as the top one, but she does have character! I love the black spotted wings too!

I'm so happy, and thankful, to the online teachers, who have helped me loosen up in my drawing and painting efforts. Art is much more fun when I don't worry about everything being "perfect"! 👵

Have a safe and happy Easter weekend!

Digital Pears

I played some more on my Kindle art app today! Just learning the different tools and how they work. Just a practice piece, but it sure was fun!

Digital Townscape

Playing with an art app on my Kindle tablet and learning a lot! Still a ton to learn, but it's fun, plus I need another art addiction! 👵

Today's Sketches

I haven't done any art in a few days, until yesterday, I managed to get in some quick sketches in my altered book (The Feather Journal). Believe it, or not, I used the same reference photo (original) for all three sketches, and none of them look like the actual person. :/

I did the one on the right first with a black stabilo pencil and a water pen, plus a bit of white stabilo pencil, then the one on the left with a black charcoal pencil and a bit of water, plus a bit of white stabilo pencil. Made a mess of both! Drawing and shading are not my strong points! :/

I painted over the third sketch with white gesso, right, then sketched with a conte pastel pencil. I also added a bit of acrylic color, and a couple of lines, to the sketch on the left, which I had done previously.

Not the best job, but it was fun to sketch to my favorite music and get my mind off things for a while. I LOVE art and music!

Do some of what makes you happy every day! You'll be better for it! :)

A Couple of Quirky Doodles

Did a couple of quirky doodle sketches to keep in practice! These are also addictive to do! I have enough of these to have a thick coloring book, and one day, if I live long enough and my eyes hold out, I'm going to go back and paint/color them.

These are the pages where I close my eyes and, with a pencil, lightly make lines and marks on the paper, then see what image/images emerge for my pleasure. I love it when the image comes out of hiding!

Images often emerge from the lines that I would never have thought about trying to draw, and I don't worry about them being "right". I enjoy their quirkiness!

Happy Sketching, or whatever your creative bliss is! :)

Face Sketch Practice

Still playing with quick sketches inspired by Katie Kendrick painting. Of course, mine look nothing like hers, but if I practice I might develop my own version! They're addictive!

Digital Face Sketch

Another sketch playing with a Kindle art app! I shouldn't have drawn all the way to the edges! But that's ok! I tried!
