Well I better get go'N .. Happy Creating ")
Hey Sunshines! sOrry for double posting .. I thought I'd write a bit on this one .. I tried and tried with background and color a few times as you can see .. 3rd times a charm I guess, right? ") .. I'm stuck in a routine with using certain colors .. I went wayyy outa my box with this one .. I drew and painted more 'stuff' with a hint of a background .. I almost think it's too busy .. well it is more than what I'm used to .. I do still have more detail to paint .. though the Nymph herself is finished .. .. Certain colors make me feel a certain way .. or the other way around .. I hate red right now .. it's a beautiful color .. but not my cup of tea .. it was really hard to figure out how to make her pop .. I'm not familiar with using reds .. and black is hard to use .. I guess your not so posed to use black black unless your doing just black and white and anything else is so posed to be an off black ?? idk how true that is .. but has made sense to me in my paintings in choosing the right black for certain stuff .. Anyways .. I think I got it with this Lil Nymph and going out of my box was kinda scary, then it got frustrating .. but I did it and I feel like a learned from it and I accomplished something today .. It's amazing how therapeutic art is for me .. I've been threw a lot .. sO it's nice to get it out onto the canvas ..
Well I better get go'N .. Happy Creating ")

Hey I think she might be coming along .. it's been tuff .. I'm still stuck on the background thing .. sO my solution is draw mOre maybe .. the bricks gives it some what of a background .. I dont want a full blown background but I do what 'stuff' in the painting .. I'm slowly getting the hang of this .. I think doing Nymphs will help me tremendously .. The origin of The Nymph leaves mind mind with dOOrs wide open .. and the idea's are flowing again .. I hope I never get tired of painting the Nymph .. the possibilities are endless .. The Nymph gives me structur .. I'm way excited to be on this journey .. I'm sO happy and again excited for those of you who follow me .. Your on this journey with me .. I'm taking ya all with me! Thanks sO much for being sO supportive .. All of the tips I'm getting on backgrounds are being put into action .. I hOpe you all have a spOiled rOtten day! .. Well, this is my second attempt on my lil Secret Lil Nymph .. The first attempt I did, I tried a background .. I always always get ahead of my self and by the time I thought about the background, it's wayyy tooo late to try and throw one in there .. sO I'm not goNa wOrry bout the background .. I just jumped right in to paint her not the paper if that makes sense .. Though I wanted to say, dO you see that lil brush in this photo? yeah, I am learning how to use this brush .. I think I finally got the hang of it .. I remember when I was a kid in the brush section at the crafty store that I thought the super long thin brush was the coolest brush ever! But I've always been afraid to try it .. I've been practising with it on somethings and I think after this I just might got the hang of it .. One thing at a time .. Backgrounds stress me out .. not sure why or what's goN on there .. Hey! How is everyone today? I finally sat down to sketch something .. I'm calling her a Secret Lil Nymph .. I really took a like'N to the Water Nymph sO I decided to draw her again .. I lOve it when I take a like'N to one enough to do them again .. It's a lOt of fun .. I think I've started something inside of me .. I now have some better ideas of where I'd like to take my art and see how far I can go .. in other word, I have a dream! and a direction to go with Twisted Lil mOnsters .. I hope you all had a spoiled rotten day! Happy sketching <3 Good day! sO here I am again trying this little Water Nymph, I decided to add a little friend .. Butterfly Fish .. or at least try to add one .. Not sure where this one is going .. I'm still struggling with the backgrounds and again by pasted it .. I'm hoping her hair will make up for the background .. idk .. I had a friend stop by last night to lOOk at my art and yes again the background was brought up .. Tho, I'm not sure if a background is right for me or even my style .. OR maybe I'm just lazy LOL -haha I'm betN I'm just lazy .. you have to draw more right? add more objects stuff to fill up the page .. I can't help but laugh at myself .. I've gots to tell you that drawing more on the paper like I did with this one really helps the illustrations, what's an illustration without a scene .. duh, that's the whole point .. sO in my ramblings I have to say I now have a tOn of Ideas rollN .. I'm think'N that the backgrounds will finally come but I've got one more step to accomplish before I can do that .. Drawing the scene .. Once I get that part I think the backgrounds will come .. See when I lOOk for the background, my mind draws a blank .. but that's because there is only one thing on the paper .. I dont know the color wheel enough to do that .. OOh! Which reminds me! I will be starting an art class! I found a local class which isn't priced too bad .. I'mA hands on kinda girl and I need someone to talk to about the color wheel to help me make sence of what complements what .. I'm staring in February .. And there is a bounus .. I get to meet Vikki in person!! we will be taking the art class together! I'm sO excited And she has her stamp machine in the basement of the building sO maybe I will get to see one of my paintings come to life as a Stamp!! sO cOOl .. Anyways I have sO many idea's running that I hope I dont run out! Happy Creating .. Hope you all have a spoiled rotten day! Aw, I ma struggling today .. I started working on this one last night .. I started painting her this mOrn'N .. I gots almost done with her and BAM I was dong her hair and it gots all messed up .. I haven't been sO crafty/artsy the last couple of days .. I'm starting to understand other artists who have told me (which I didn't know) is that Artists spend mOre time advertising than actually creating .. That sucks cuz I found myself all over fb for the last couple of days and not creating anything, not even an idea .. I feel sO stuck right now .. I'm sO frustrated .. It's like I lost my steadiness .. it felt very awkward painting this morning .. kinda like rusty .. I think all artists go through that .. but it sure pisses me off -LOL .. I will try again .. something different with her hair .. painted she lOOks like a drown rat -haha .. gots to fix that .. sO besides a deep breath, any suggestions world? Hey yous! what's up buttercup? sO this is my first drawing after doing a couple of commissions .. Commissions are hard! Even tho the artists made it easy on me -haha .. I really enjoyed my commissions .. There is one commission I can't share yet .. it's a surprise and sO I'm not posting it until Chris gets it in the mail .. That one will actually be a first to give the original to and I signed it .. I dont normally sign my pieces .. Tho I will tell you a small hint, her name is ScrewDriver .. sO lOOk for that piece in a few days .. In the mean time, I will be posting progress shots of this one here and you can follow along! .. We all like to receive feedback .. good or bad and specially what could I do or try that's different .. it helps the artist grow .. I lOve sharing my artwork with you! ❤ Haha a first for me, an awesome artist, Alex Howard asked me a 'Request for a Request!!' Honestly, I dont know how serious he was .. but Alex ask if I would draw an Edward ScissorHands in my style .. I've never had anyone ask me to draw them anything sO serious or not I treated it like my first commission .. I've never had the desire to draw a character that has already been done sO this was also new to me and it felt kinda weird .. Those of you who follow me also know I dont draw little outfits either! Everybody's naked here .. I lOOked and lOOked at different artworks of Edward ScissorHands, sO many draw him in his black outfit .. I decided to draw him in his nice shirt and pants .. I actually have many many ideas for this as in backgrounds and other objects that I dont dare to create yet .. maybe a butterfly in there or a decorative bush like in the movies and OOh! the white picked fence .. I like the idea of a pink flamingo! Tho only time will tell what on earth I do with this sketch .. I still haven't painted him .. One of my goals for 2014 is to get the hang of backgrounds .. Something I'm not familiar with .. Try and think of the background before I draw my little Twisted PinUp .. sO many ideas .. Can't wait to paint! Hope you all have a Spoiled Rotten Day! Happy Creating! |
