Happy tree

Not so happy creator though. I put off doing this for too long. It was very time consuming. But it's done.

Not much I have to say with this, hopefully within the next few days I can post some stuff about an exhibition.

Last minute drawing

I managed to start and finish a piece in a day, which is rare... I wanted another digital piece to put in a local exhibition and the deadline is getting pretty close...

Initial sketch

Sometimes I get bored doing lineart and put down some base
colours.

All lineart finished

And then it's pretty much just colouring and irritation with shading from there
on...

Well that's another thing out of the way for now...

Old vs New

Not really much explanation needed here, just getting some picture finished before the end of this month...

Old pictures are marked as 2012, and the new ones are 2014.

Splashing paint on paper

One of my new favorite things to do as of recently is grab a bunch of watercolour paints and throw them at a piece of paper. When I have cleared up I was just left with a mess of dripping paints on a sheet, that wasn't enough. 

So I broke out the pencils and fine liners and got to work...

I chose an animal that had large areas of black to do all kinds of weird patterns
in. Fun yet time consuming.

I didn't intend on doing a second piece like this but I did quite enjoy doing
the first one and I got a positive response back from people I showed it too.

Sketching the animal out first, I try to focus mainly on the outline and dark patterns of the fur (or whatever I choose at the time). Rubbing out the initial sketch lightly I can then go over the 'final' lines with a 4H pencil. Then I go crazy with paints and normally make a huge mess of water everywhere. After the chaos is over and the paint has dried I can get to work using the 4H pencil again to draw the patterns on. Then it's just a matter of using fine liners, normally 0.2 - 0.1 sizes. And that's pretty much it.

I have an art exhibition coming up soon in a local cafe, which I hope to try and sell these pieces (and other things... hopefully). So I guess it's time for me to stop being lazy and try finish some half-done works.

Watercolour Postcard

I've been wanting to get back into drawing dogs for some time but never really had any ideas. For my birthday I got some watercolour postcards, so put these two together and you get some work finally being done.

After searching around I found a rather interesting looking breed,
Pharaoh Hound.

Taking inspiration from Ancient Egypt, the sketch.

Line art.

Starting to paint it, I don't normally use watercolour so it's not my strongest
point.

And finally, darkening the lineart and adding a background it's finished.

I have a whole list of breeds I'm going to be painting soon, motivation willing...

'Red' Panda!

...

...

...Well I thought it was a funny idea!

I've had a sketch for this in an old pad for a while now and only now I've had the motivation to get on it.

Originally there was meant to be red pandas looking confused buuuuuuuuut sadly they didn't make it to the final cut...

Trying something slightly different I have uploaded a video showing some work in progress, though it had to be kept short as I was very quickly running out of disk space.

Link to the video

That paint isn't going to come off for weeks I bet...
