Studies in digital painting…

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

This is the cucumber I’ve been drawing the past couple of days. Well – I did it in 2 sessions. The first one was about 2 hours and then another hour or so to finish. It’s not exactly like the reference I know – but I kind of like it different.
Slowly getting the hang of painting in PS!

Cucumber study

Lots more stuff planned too. I’ve got work tomorrow but I plan to spend all of Tuesday drawing. Yippeee!
Hope you’ve all had a super excellent weekend so far!

To make up for the time I’ve been gone!

Nothing finished though. Bad I know. So here are some sketches I’ve drawn lately. Lots and lots to work on! Some of these I might flesh out into finished pieces.

owls
Eeee I love this little owl!

pinup
This I will definitely turn into something nice. Like the way the face turned out :-D

hands
Some drawings of my hand. I have long thumbs. Weird huh.

Anyway, I’m trying to sketch every day right now. Try and get better at drawing and not get stuck in a rut. Still at a stage where my hands don’t do what they tell them properly and I can’t draw exactly what I see in my head. Can get extremely frustrating I tell you.
I joined up to ConceptArt.org forums too – there’s so many great artists on there and so many valuable resources. I get majorly inspired looking on there!

Other news – Been getting busy in the garden. YES I have a garden! Well, a courtyard! Put in a couple of little screener plants and got some bamboo stuff to put up on the fence so the neighbours don’t stare at us while we’re sitting outside. Teehee. It’s so nice to have a fairly large outdoor area.
Also been making friends with the neighbourhood cats. There is a gorgeous ginger tom called Mango who I coerced into the yard for a pat. It wasn’t hard – he’s very friendly (and just a little bit fat too) and he ran about rubbing against my legs and being cute.
There is also a fluffy one two doors down who dropped himself in front of the door and rolled around baring his furry belly. But he ran off when I tried to open the door and pat him.
Soon I wont have to harrass other people’s cats cos I will have one of my own! Yay!!!

Well I better be off – make some dinner for the hungry boyfriend. Back to normal posting from now on :-D
