My first watercolour pug! What an interesting subject. I haven't made much art of dogs before but I really enjoyed the challenge and think it turned out quite nicely
Another watercolour cat! I start out with a pencil sketch to get the major shapes laid out using an oval with a t shape. I like to paint the darkest spots first using lighter colours and then go over and layer them as I go on to preserve the lighter areas. I love using white acrylic paint to add highlights and go over darker areas that I may have painted but should stay lighter. It really makes the artwork pop as the contrast is so necessary to capture one's attention. Afterwards I let the piece dry and then scan it using my Epson ET-8550 which has a 600 dpi scanner. The scanner is limited to around ~8.5 x 11 in sizes. Even though I prefer painting large canvases (as it's easier to paint finer details) and can't use the scanner for those, I really love how good the scans turn out when I am able to use it. Enjoy my progress photos, the reference, and stay tuned for more 🙂
One of my latest cat commissions!! What a dapper looking fella. Watercolours and white acrylic paint on 7x10 watercolour paper. This was so fun! Dm if you are interested in a pet commission!!
Practicing shading and sketching using my watercolours yesterday at the SAMU Spring Market. In the first portrait I like the duality of the two styles of eyes
More random poses hahahaha this is what I do instead of finishing a single piece. But I like it because then it means I have more practice/variation in my toolbox to imagine when I want to draw something specific with no references. #figuredrawing #anatomydrawing
This ended up being anatomy practice of a male figure. I was mainly concerned with putting as many muscles in their correct place as I could remember (~15 mins). Just a simple standing pose with his left arm raised up. I like using pencils because I like to scribble when I draw and it makes good gradients/it's easy to erase. #pencilsketches #anatomydrawing
