I don't have any idea how to use these brush markers I bought, but they seem fun to play with.
You'll want to use them on glossy paper, or at least not super-absorbant paper or the paper will absorb too much ink. I like your Kiwi textures.

I know I've said this before, but the light is too cold, also if you look at campfires they don't shed a lot of ambient light at all.

Of course I should have done a Pokémon as the swimmer. Maybe I'll composite the lemon in?

I've been on leave the past few days, but usually during the week I take advantage of having an hour long lunchbreak rather than the usual half hour. Also I'll be swopping back to less time consuming media for my weekday pictures.

I love this, nice feel to it. Can you tell more about the materials used?
All the talk about the comics made me order them from my local library to read them all once more now I am no longer 9 and can understand what all the fuss is about.
Nothing special. Pitt pens for the lines, windsor and Newton Cotman watercolours for sky and background, inktense for the foreground and blueberry, mainly because there's a pre-mixed purple.

Did the background as one wash then dabbed the clouds out with tissue.

It's done in the same Aldi pad as everything else I'm doing for drawnuary, which is pretty smooth compared to the other papers I own, so if I was going to do a proper copy I'd get some nice Hot rather than Not paper.

ETA: managed to fix it. Bit of acrylic to blank out the line, then redrew and patched up the colour

see the intersection of the ring on the blueberry and the edge of the rock it's sitting on, and how they form a cross or X? it creates an unintended visual connection and emphasis point. there's all sorts of little visual language* details and rules like this that, while a lot of people will never consciously notice them, can subtly improve or ruin art.

Exactly.

Noooooo you don't just go over the lines! You stuff your face right close to the paper, bending until your back creaks, take a deep breath and then hold it to steady yourself while you move with painful precision inside the designated area, meticulously filling each spot with care.
I've just come to realize I may not have the most efficient way of working. Anyway, doing the ink last is also great if your ink has a high shine. I've got one ink that's got a lovely shine, which is rubbed matte when I erase pencil lines (boo!).

Pretty sure I used the same reference picture as you, Keetron. Though I added a slice in front. Used my polyhcromos's for these.



Graphitint with some neon ink for the eyes. I picked up a set of 6 for £8 (rather than their RRP of £26+ ) a little while ago.

re: your chameleon, maybe a couple of big leaves, then vague greeness? Or just a sort of gradated wash going from the chamelon upwards.

added a background, should have kept it lighter but I think with the shades in the chameleon itself the picture still has a nice flow to it.


I like that. Guess if you wanted to mount it you'd cut the paper around the tail and put the mounting board under it.

And I bought myself a pad of that Khadi stuff that Keetron uses, but got an uncovered one instead, so painted my own cover for it. Inktense pans.

Considering glueing up the sides to turn it into a block rather than a book.

The last of my Drawnuary pictures. I admit I cheated with the Orange (being held by the big ghost pokemon), and Gastodon (appears in Captain Lime's briefing), but I feel I basically did them all.






Unlike Keetron I flitted around mediums and was working with poo poo paper so that I didn't feel bad about drawing mostly nonsense, but I think I'm a lot better with my various water soluble pencils than I was at the start. I'm probably going to redraw Blueberry onto proper paper, and planning to scan the entire set at work on Monday assuming our MFD doesn't choke on the paper.

I've got another project that I need to work on at the start of Feburary, so probably won't be doing the country sketches until the later half of the month.

And here's a couple of pictures from artsociety - our usual life-drawing lass, but with her kit on.

Life drawing
Two different sessions with our usual life model lass, this time with clothes on (once because it was very cold, and once because she was booked for costumed life drawing)








New lifedrawing model, a bloke. I was late to this session, so this was the only 20 minute pose I was there for, but he did a bunch of pretty dynamic 2-5 minute poses too.

Oh what I love this!! I would frame this and put it on my desk. The sun looks so nice! Is that just a ring of white left unpainted and the sun painted in light yellow in the middle? The sun is a chore to me. ...so are watercolours tbh but I do try sometimes.

Basically, though I lifted too much from the edges and not enough from the middle - this paper really seems best for one or two washes and done rather than working into things a lot, despite being 100% cotton. Also it doesn't like being masked.

quote:

Today's Bob Ross is only so-so. I enjoyed doing it but the knife technique for mountains doesn't work on these tiny canvases so I had to improvise. And then I couldn't nail the right thin-ness of paint to get the highlights to stick. And the clouds are all stupid. Still my mum says she likes it so :shrug:



if anyone asks I'll tell them it's impressionistic that'll get me out of it

I don't know if you can go back into it at all, but I'd carry the big cloud to the left a bit more so that it's also visible on the left hand side of that tree. I really like the mountain texture and the grasses.
