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.
Working on my first collaborative project! My sister and I stretched a linen canvas last summer and we're finally working on the underdrawing. We had a lot of fun spending the afternoon working on this. . . . Old Master copy of Bouguereau's "Work Interrupted". . . Now... Something we forgot to consider (at least I forgot anyway) this artwork is going to be MASSIVE, so no matter how attached we get to it, we're not going to be able to keep it. Neither of us have the wall space. Makes me sad to think about, but hopefully we'll find a good home for it when it's done. ❤️ #drawingart #drawingsketch
Please swipe! . . . Question of the day: What food sounds really good right now? For me, that's slow cooked spaghetti. . . . yesterday morning, I did a drawing of one of John Singer Sargent's paintings. It's still not done. Had a hard time focusing yesterday morning so it took me an hour to get nowhere near done! . . Happy Tuesday and much love! ❤️
Good morning friendlies! Question: Should art take shortcuts? I've been thinking a lot about shortcuts in art. For a long time, I was very... Prideful? Snobby? When it came to art- I use mediums that are as high quality as I can barely afford and take a long time on my pieces. Even with drawing, I never use pencils darker than HB and I don't smudge because I was taught that both those things are "cheating". . . . . I decided to take up comics again- a medium that practically REQUIRES shortcuts which lead me to find a video by a comic artist who took ten years to make his comic- realized how short life is, and maybe shortcuts shouldn't be looked down upon so much. . . . So this morning I thought, "Screw it!" I found a 2B pencil, smudged to my heart's content, and I must say, I'm not displeased with the result! . . ... I wanted to start this morning on a more spiritual note. This is the first morning I've had where I'm not sick, on vacation, or too down to wake up in a long time. 😊 I don't know why I decided to draw Jim Caviezel, trying to get some inspiration for upcoming religious paintings I guess.
Finished digital painting of some friends as depicted in a fantasy setting! This is my first digital painting in a long time, and it was a lot of fun to do. I'm really glad that I've spent the last several years studying traditional art, because I'm finding that even if you're photobashing an landscape for environment scenes, you need to have a strong understanding of the fundamentals. . . If you could be any creature from a fantasy setting, what would it be? Personally, I would be a dragon! . #fantasy #fantasyart #digitalart #digitalillustration #fantasyillustration #elfart #elf #elves #babies #babyart #dogs #dogart #alphonsemucha #mucha #lordoftherings #lotr #flowers #flowerart #digitalpainting #digitaldrawing #family #familyart #artistsoninstagram #painting #instaart #artistsofinstagram #artstation
Hooray! It's done! Well, it's been done for a while, but I got it framed today. This is my husband's draenei Shaman, Iome. . . . So, question for you. Do you make art when you're sick? . . @olluranthel #silverpanic @worldofwarcraftarts #fantasyart #draenei #artwork #oilpaintings #oilpainting #fantasy #traditionalart #instaart #artstagram #realisticart #semirealism #semirealisticart #fanart #wow @blizzard @activision
