Art Attack

thread for all drawings, paintings and arty stuff that isn't classed as a craft :-)

Im still doing the feb drawing challenge and here is some of the new ones

Day 4 - crown imperial done with oil pastels and drawing ink (i was having a very non arty and off day. i hate it!)



Day 5 - chocolate vine drawn with watercolour pencils and 0.7 technical pen. got my vibe back i actually really love this one



Day 6 - heuchera green spice drawn with handwriting pen, tipex and biro. not sure if i love it or hate it

 

They are great, Dips! Have to say I also like the chocolate vine one best

 

thank you M

I was a bit iffy about the chocolate vine one half way through because when it was wet it looked horrendous. it looked like a child had done it and the colours weren't blending and somehow it dried like that!

not complaining tho. once i finished i couldn't believe i had actually drawn that

if you look at all of them you can notice that i never quite learnt to keep within the lines lol

 

What will you do with all your drawings at the end of February? Will you frame them? Put them in portfolio?

 

Im doing a designing with plants course from home. Well im suppose to be but havent been

And for it i need a working sketch book so they are going to go in that and i will have to keep doing drawings for it but will probably only do a drawing once a week rather than once a day.

 

That sounds interesting: good luck with the course (it will seem like a holiday after your February challenge!)

Keep up the good work, Dips and do have *fun* with it.

 

Thanx M. I have still have two books to read for this module and test papers to do and a plant index to start so yeh its going to be a lot of work

and so far the drawing challenge is fun. well apart from day 4 lol

 

Lovely Dips

How about drawing a Dipsacus fullonum?

 

Thank you guys

And zigs that would be a challenge and a half but i will keep it in mind and might do it later on in the month. Thanx for the idea

 

I did one, but i'm not sure where the pic is, probably on my old computer

 

Oh Zigs that is sad :-( i would of loved to see it

 

As I suggested the creation of this thread it seems only fair I contribute to it.

I have been doing digital artwork for the past year for local projects, mostly in advertisement. I received my first payment for a piece a few days ago and am pondering advertising myself as a advertisement artist and seeing where it takes me.

Some of my work (Apologies for the watermarks but after my run in with the council last year I decided to take more care with my work)
