Digital Shadow Box
For the last several days I have been working on an assignment to make a digital shadow box with the theme “Mermaid.” It was a strangely time consuming project but I am very happy with the results, especially because I got to use another Harry Potter reference for my inspiration, which in this case was the Mermaid painting in the Prefect’s Bathroom.
Nailed it!
Today I was asked to make a cartoon drawing of a guy for his YouTube channel. It was fun to make and didn’t take a long time to work on. It felt amazing to get positive feedback from him. I love art.
Graphic Novel Page
I’ve been working on a graphic novel page for that last couple days for one of my classes. We had to use a quote from the original book Wizard Of Oz and make it look like it has been drawn with charcoal. My quote was “I shall take the heart, for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.” I had a good time making it.
Brushing Up On Smoke
Today’s sketch daily is BBQ so I took the chance to practice making smoke in Flash
Dragons
I’ve never been good at drawing dragons, just because it is hard to find references to draw from. So today I decided to look at the dragon from the cover of Deathly Hallows and work at its gesture and overall shapes. Hopefully by doing this study I can improve my skills at designing my own dragons. Here it is without any background
And here it is with a background more filled in.
Voldemort!
Most people who know me know that I love Harry Potter, and I decided my blog should reflect that, so here is my first ever Harry Potter related digital painting. The Illustration Friday prompt was ‘villain’ so naturally Voldemort was the first thought that entered my mind.
New Photoshop Brushes
I spent a couple hours yesterday looking for new photoshop brushes and found a bunch that I love. Here are a couple of the digital paintings I made while playing with them
