School Sketches #3

Inktober 2018

October 2018

Unfinished inktober challenge. Wanted to do a witch theme, but it didn't hold up for very long.

I like the style I was using for it, though

India ink on sketchbook paper

June 25, 2023 - July 1, 2023

See this is an example of a drawing being embarassing because it's so recent.

Updated version of one of my lil goober guys but I make it realistic (and in doing so, completely ruin it). I think it looks coolio as just a robot lil dude, but the clothes are so stupid. It aint workin.

Was the beginning of me trying to make character sheets for art fight. I never ended up actually doing any art fights because the site was so damn slow 😛

AAM Inktober Day 8: Soar

October 8, 2024

I actually finished this one on oct 8 (i almost forgot about it). I did forget to send it in the discord until the next morning, though xd

I have problems with the front wing, but considering I just jumped into the drawing w no preamble it's fiiiiiiine

India ink on paper

Hellboy | Hellboy

Edited on 10/14/2024 to add some detail/gradients since the design was a tad too simple beforehand.

Shout out to my friend who pointed out that blud looked like a baby which made me realise i completely forgor his facial hair.

Yeah uh sorry for the annoying ass watermarks. ik that it decreases viewer engagement, but isn't that a double whammy if you don't include a watermark? More people see it and it's more stealable.

Masquerade

December 30, 2023 - January 4, 2024

Sketched/inked throughout winter break, painted during jan 4 paint night.

I had first thought up a piece like this years ago, and it was meant to be an illustration of what I imagine when I listen to Wriggle by Cosmo Sheldrake. I found it over the winter break and got inspired to make this. Didn't take a picture of the old concept, but the bird and the masquerade mask were both parts of it. And me using the red/yellow colour palette was me staying true to the og concept.

Took a scan of the lineart before colouring in the mask. Had to do it twice because the painting was too big for the scanner 🥲. Still need to splice together the two imgs to get the full piece as one scan.

The gold bits were painted on sometime sem2 year1 of uni (and after the end date listed above) but it was so little that I'm fine w the fake finish date.

I was planning on colouring the entire piece, but the mask in it of itself was annoying enough, and I thought it looked good w just that part coloured. I've asked around if people think it looks finished with how it is now, and most people say no 😭. I've gotten different suggestions for what to do to make it look more complete, but I don't really fw any of them (but I also think it looks does as is, so I'm not inclined to modify it at all in the first place).

The suggestions:

Colour the candelabra in blues to compliment the mask

Add shading to the rest of the obj

Microns, watercolour, acrylic paint and india ink on watercolour paper

April 3 2024

Animation I made to showcase the movement and associated friction points (red) of the mechanism we made for DP4 💖.

Just a quick lil animation, was funny busting this out.

OK. So krita 5.5.2 having ffmpeg just in the normal installation is so much more convenient than having to download it separately??? BRO I needed to get this done the day I started it and downloading ffmpeg was gonna take a whole day 😭. -7kB/s goofy ahhh

I ended up exporting the individual frames and uploaded them to openshot video editor to get the video. AND THEN openshot would not export as a .gif correctly so I exported as a .mp4 and then converted it to gif format w convertio 👯‍♂️👯‍♂️👯‍♂️

If I had just known I coulda just updated krita 😒😩✌️. Would've saved me sm hassle 😭

Little Miss Fortune | Misfortune, Morgo

January 5, 2020

Just some fanart. Played around with different line weights for the fore/mid/background. Morgo was done with a brush and india ink for the thickest lines, misfortune with a pen and the bg has no lineart.

The quote was a paper addition that could be removed/added

Siren + Mermaid WIP

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.

Little plant guy I did for a weekly discord art challenge. Prompt was "plant"

See the only reason I join art discords is to have art challenges, cause I generally feel an obligation to make a piece for them. Ez motivation, yk? Except, like, no discords do them consistently. Ik I could do inktober 52 or smth instead, but there's a connotation w discord art challenge that actually gets me to do it (And maybe it's just because it occurs so few and far between that the novelty hasn't run out idk)

Anyways I really like this guy. V line of action-y and simple style that was quick and ez to do. Just a little dude.

Pan's Labyrinth | The Pale Man

My little cutie guy. I'm obsessed obsessed with him, have been since I first saw the movie way back when ✨

Used a slightly different style and didn't do fullbody because I couldn't find a pose--his head/hands are the main focus anyways
