I haven’t been as active as I wish on the artsy fartsy front of drawing however, I have come across a fun little app in my spare time (what little of it there is) and wanted to share it with you guys plus some of the things I’ve made with it.
The app is called outline and is very simple- it makes a little line-art of whatever drawing you put into it. I rough line-art, but maybe something you could work with in the future. I’ve also been using it to see the overall “form” of my drawing and how symmetrical (or not symmetrical) my pieces are. Definitely worth tinkering around with if you’re into that sort of thing.
I teased this post in my summer art review post which I made a few months back where I said I’d share some of the traditional art I’ve made over the summer (and not over part of the semester). I have no really good reason as to why it’s taken me so long to post this besides that fact that every time I managed to think about it, it would slip my mind when I actually sat down to write a blog post.
All that being said, here are a few art pieces I’ve made over the last few months.
I think a few of my favorites are the mouse in the tea cup, the girl in the ballcap, the girl with a ponytail, and the close up of the cat. I wasn’t a huge fan of the green dress fashion sketch as the shadows just didn’t look right and I regret not giving her face (even though I feel it should be alright not to have to draw a face in a fashion sketch). Anyways, I hope that you found these little sketches interesting or at the very list give you a little inspo as to what you can sketch (or if you find them awful, use them as an example of what NOT to do when drawing :P)
Anyways! That’s all for now! Have a good week my friends and, if you happen to be on fall break like me, have a fabulous fall break where you drink lots of pumpkin spice lattes and attend a lot of campfires and soup potlucks.
I’m slowly getting more and more comfortable sharing my art and digital piece and editing on my blog here and while I wanna mainly keep my blog as a place for writing prompts and writing advice/student advice, I do still enjoy sharing some of my favorite pieces with you guys!
Part of me has been debating on whether or not I want a start a separate blog for my art (both traditional and digital) but I don’t know if anyone would be interested in that. Please feel free to share your thoughts on that as I’m just sort of considering the idea. I don’t know if I’ll actually act on it yet.
Okay! Enough blathering! On with the art.
So I was thinking of a concept recently. A vintage/retro style CGI disney movie about some 1950’s housewives getting into some zany situation or something. I don’t know what the plot would be exactly but I couldn’t help but ponder on how BEAUTIFUL and COOL a movie like that would look. And so I set about editing some characters and coming up with some character concepts.
Part of me thought it would be cool if they animated from of the classic actresses from that era. So you may recognize some of these faces if you enjoy some old black & white movies…
So what are your thoughts on this concept? I really want to know!
Also, sorry for the lack of writing themed posts as of late! I should have a few coming out here soon. 😉
I usually don’t share my art on my blog but today I wanted to share a few little digital doodles I did this week for no real particular reason besides the fact that I have blog posts I want to do but no real time to write them until this weekend. So feel free to scroll through a few pieces of mine and offer your thoughts and critiques. Have a wonderful day, lovelies.
This a quick Azula sketch I did the other day. Avatar the Last Airbender was a huge part of my middle school years so why not?Had a few ideas for some concept art of some butterfly cats so here we go…I made the wings rather fancy on this one.Here is a collage of the neon versions.
And speaking of cats, I also drew a cat sitting on a skull for funsies. Above is displayed both the uncolored and the colored version.
Just a few gentle-manly skull sketches… (these were my favorites I think).
And here are a few collections of fashion sketches I did while catching up on a few shows. (Mainly The Book of Boba Fett <3)
And finally we have a fish haired princess. I like the color and concept of this one though I would love to do a cleaner version in the future.
