Ohuhu Markers on Mixed Media Paper

I've been wanting to make a duo mermaid/siren set of illustrations. So I tried to do it,,,, uhhhh I really don't like it 😎

I tried to use these to try and getter better at using markers... And yeah I'd be surprised if I ever tried to fix these (I def could w coloured pencils + paints, but at this point I think it's more likely that I just restart this from scratch,, esp since i don't like the mermaid's design). Most likely gonna stick to markers being a small part of mixed media pieces I do, rather than the majority.

Painting of a butterfly guy I did at the cottage trip. I have a little butterfly oc thingy that I've been meaning to make an illustration of, and this was me taking that character and making them 99% butterfly.

There's a couple things I messed up on w the colouring, but what's done is done

Pattern Assignment

September 27, 2020

Intro assignment for gr10 art. Had to incorporate a pattern somewhere.

The background isn't a solid pattern because i didn't have enough time to ink it all.

Another quick lil guy. Last of my batch of trying to compensate for lost days in the 'make a drawing every day' goal.

Also the last of stickers in general for a while 💔

AAM Inktober Day 2: Abundance

October 2, 2024

Couldn't really think of something for 'abundance', so i did a bunch of little guys in a forest.

I was really unhappy with it in the beginning (second pic), but I decided to keep going because why not. I'm glad I did because, while I still have problems with the final piece, i like it a lot better than i would if i'd left it unfinished.

anyways joined an art discord for critique n stuff and they had a ~redraw an old art piece thing~ so this is that.

2nd slide is the old one - ~ April 7 2020

3rd slide is a ~30min quick sketch of what itd be like if I hadn't had the idea of changing the whole drawing 4 fun

the old drawing was supposed to be a personified candy (nerds) but I didnt wanna do that that

I acc deleted the sketch layers 😥😣

Emotive Mask Project

Grade 5 - 2015/2016

Wait this was supposed to be the first post??? I didn't get around to cleaning it up until ~3 weeks after I'd queued up all of the tumblr posts 😭

Ig I'll see how making the post date in the past works >:)

Anyways what I can remember of the prompt was that we were supposed to make masks that represent a specific emotion. We were in pairs and I did it with my friend.

Making it out of wood was not a requirement, but I'd gotten it in my head and I knew my dad wld be able to cut the wood for me 😋I made a paper mockup, and then my dad took care of cutting and gluing together the pieces. Two masks were made, one for my friend and one for me.

iirc, the emotion I was going for was happiness, but it really doesn't read that way. There used to be paper fluff stuff hanging from the back, but the birds ate that stuff up. They also bit a whole bunch of chunks into it 😭

I don't remember what happened for it to break that badly. Prolly fell

⚠️⚠️SPOILERS- Don't look too closely at this illustration if you haven't seen the first season and movie of made in abyss.⚠️⚠️

Made in abyss illustration I made. I mainly worked on this during lectures when they were going over content I already knew ✨

I wanted to take a stab at doing the whole grayscale painting thing before adding colours for once. I think this was a pretty metal way to test that technique out 💀. complicated ass drawing right here

The problem I had with doing the colour layer is that it took a while for me to find something that would look like the right colour. Most colours were fine, but browns were really annoying in particular (they often showed up as bright oranges xd). It also took some finagling to make the shading look good (as in not shaded by pure black), but i got the hang of it. Honestly it was pretty fun using different colours to make the shading look better 😌

I basically painted everything on a single layer (it was divided between foreground (all the characters) and the background sections). yeah, I prolly could have done it in a much more efficient manner, but I had fun so it don't matter.

Really like how it turned out overall (they're so cute but the story is so fucked up it's all so fucked up) and the plan is to make posters out of this bad boy >:)))

Annoying ass watermarks are back because fuck you get away from my hard work!!!
