Akaroaaaa

Art comes in many forms, thank you very much.

I enjoyed a lovely boat ride around Duvauchelle/Akaroa in the weekend. Was a beautiful day for it. While we work hard to create neat pieces of art, sometimes it's nice to step out and take a look at what is already there.

See you next week, turtles!

... Ack it's hard following Mai's post with something equally as interesting. One day!

Titles are hard - Monday

 As unimaginative it can be.  I do like head shots, and constantly struggling to achieve symmetry, despite flipping it to check.....orz.

2%Bull 98%Man

Sooooooo I did that cat girl painting awhile ago and thought I might even the field a little. I haven't painted or really drawn too many muscly guys before so sorry about any weird details. It was fun though searching through references of chiseled guys and thinking more about showing the muscles. Also like the cat girl not a whole lot of though went into him and he was just kinda created randomly. I was also meant to post some studies I did today, but i accidentally somehow cut my painting in half. I then went to hit save as to try reopen the old version and accidentally hit save..... was a good afternoon.

Notebook, Bar Sketch

A sketch I'm working on, started drawing it in a bar.

Scrapheap Treasure

Scrapheap Treasure

A ray of hope in a desolate wasteland.

I've actually had the loose idea for this piece in my head for a while. I decided to go for a starker art style here, with more solid black shadows -I feel that it suits the grim atmosphere.

Eep!

Mareep speedpaints! Experimented with perspective and that jazz.

... Come on. It's better than another uguu anime girl, right?

LAY EXO's UNICORN

 

Reference from EXO's teaser trailer with Lay and Sehun, with the song 'Angel'.  Lay's side profile is far more beautiful.

Sketchbook Sketches

So I decided to make a little sketchbook compilation this week, A lot of these sketches were done well out at places, parks, friends houses and well out eating lunch, so they are very brief sketchs. The top sketches are of the one of the other memebers of the neon turtles flat and bits and pieces. The 2 rows of sketches in the middle are of just random characters I drew well doing things over the past few weeks and The most recent ones are the set of 3 pages down the bottom. I did them yesterday down at the riccarton bush where I went for a small walk and talked to the ducks.

Phone Doodles

This week I've got some of my phone doodles, created in Autodesk Sketchbook, using a stylus and my fingers.

Endless

A couple of line art drawings. Been reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novel series lately --absolutely brilliant stuff, by the way (highly recommended). Hence the fan artwork;

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream...

The Dream character is fascinating, such a powerful design.

"And what do you think you're doing?"
'Death' © DC Comics, 'Misa Amane' © Shueisha Inc.

And a crossover with Death Note.

A little fan art is a very good thing, I think. Taking the time to acknowledge your interests and/or artistic role models is a worthwhile exercise indeed.
