Just wanted to share something I was working on for my comic. @dragonriders.dance . . I did a little photo bashing/sketching over/tracing like the dirty cheater I am to make this, but I ended up really liking it. . . I usually avoid drawing and painting backgrounds and environments like the plague, but the desire to make Dragon Rider's Dance take place in a beautiful fantasy setting has been great motivation. This is a Coffee House, btw. Not sure what to name it yet. . . . . #realisticart #digitalart #environmentart #landscapes #realism #environments #buildings #sketches #drawings #sketchy #digitaldrawings
Good evening. I'm not dead. I've actually gotten back into digital art and comics recently. Between that and working from home, I haven't made time to make traditional, realistic art... Which I'm realizing could be a detriment on my part. . . I started an Instagram account for my comic too. @dragonridersdance if you're interested in following it. . . . I'm currently doing a 30 minutes for 30 days digital art challenge. I figured this one matched more with the art I've made on this account, so here it is. . . . #portraitart #digitalart #portrait #semireakism #art #artpractice #realisticart #realism #semirealism #portraitstudies #artstudies #instaart #artstagram #instaart
Still alive. Been busy with my comic, but trying to get back to oil painting a little bit every morning. . . . I've been working from home due to the virus. Turns out it's not all fun and games. I've been waking up every morning anxious about work, then I'd get up and before I know it, what seems like 20 minutes turns into 3 hours before I realize I didn't eat breakfast. . . . Thought it would be a good idea to start this morning with some hymns and calming oil painting. It's nice to be reminded that greater forces don't really care about a website you're building for your job. Makes it easier to do my best without the anxiety.
Thanks for sticking with me! I feel like it's been forever since I last posted! I had to put off this painting for a few days because I ran out of hairspray which I use to fix drawings... And kept forgetting to get more. 😆 . . . I put the tape layer on the painting where the gold is going to be. I really like how it looks like this... With the textured blue halo. Not going to keep it like this, but definitely inspired for future projects.
What's the first thing you do to start your morning? For me, that's been making black tea. Then drawing, then trying not to stress about the work day. . . Good morning! Work in progress for my St. Margaret of Scotland icon. I need to fix the halo, put on fixative, then I can get started on painting.
Hail to the Queen baby! 🍷 . . If you worked for the perfect queen (or boss) what would she be like? Mine would reward me at the end of a long day with a glass of wine. 😊 . . . Saint/Queen Theodora. She's been my inspiration lately. She was born an exile, married into a world she was unfamiliar with, and overcame many obstacles to be an amazing queen. . . . . Preliminary practice drawing for a gilded icon I'm going to start doing in the mornings. I want to start getting in the habit of spending some time in the mornings making spiritual artworks.
