Snaratin's Art

Food: BLT⠀ I found this one really challenging, I was trying to create texture without shading. This is another in my series of pen & ink food illustrations.⠀ Pen on Bristol, 2019⠀

FFXI: Unlocking Summoner⠀ This is some of my old art inspired by FFXI, which I spent a lot of time playing. I was experimenting with layering different media together.⠀ ⠀ Watercolor & Colored Pencil on Watercolor Paper, 2008⠀

Food: Smoked Turkey Leg⠀ I started a series of food images created with pen & ink. I'll be posting the ones I've completed so far over the next few days.⠀ ⠀ Pen on Bristol, 2019⠀

Balanced Crystal⠀ Working a bit on my marker skills!⠀ ⠀ Alcohol Based Markers, 2019⠀

Old Art: Masked⠀ This piece is pretty old, and I can see a lot of where I was developing my color pencil skills. ⠀ ⠀ Colored Pencils on Bristol, 2006? (Not sure on date)⠀

Red Panda Bunny Photomanip⠀ This is a fun little photo manipulation I taught some of my students.  

Inktober 2014 #27 Snail Chef⠀ This fancy snail is a world class chef, but you'll never find escargot on his menu.⠀ ⠀ Ink on Bristol, 2014⠀

Colorful Kitty⠀ This was just a fun piece with its own personality.⠀ ⠀ Watercolor Pencil, 2008⠀

True⠀ Graphite - Year Unknown (2009?)

Inktober 2014 # 26 Sloth Knight⠀ He doesn't like to hurt people so he carries a wooden sword.⠀ ⠀ Pen on Bristol, 2014⠀

Old Art: Fractured Flower⠀ ⠀ This piece was done when I first learned about layering but before I got high quality colored pencils (This was done with crayola colored pencils)⠀ Unfortunately over time the paper got slightly damaged in storage.⠀

Uh Oh Duck 3/3⠀ This is the last painting I had done for the series. Look at my earlier posts to see the other two, or see them all grouped on my patreon at https://www.patreon.com/posts/33482159⠀

Uh Oh Duck 2/3 ⠀ This is a continuation of the story of the rubber duck at bath time. ⠀ ⠀ Watercolor, 2006⠀

Uh Oh Duck 1/3⠀ This #painting is actually part of a little story I had written up and did a few paintings for. I've been thinking of revisiting them and recreating them.⠀ ⠀ #Watercolor, 2006⠀

Sing a song of sixpence,⠀ A pocket full of rye,⠀ Four and twenty blackbirds⠀ Baked in a pie.⠀ When the pie was opened⠀ The birds began to sing—⠀ Wasn't that a dainty dish⠀ To set before the king?⠀ ⠀ The king was in the counting-house⠀ Counting out his money,⠀ The queen was in the parlor⠀ Eating bread and honey,⠀ The maid was in the garden⠀ Hanging out the clothes.⠀ Along came a blackbird⠀ And snipped off her nose.⠀ ⠀ Watercolor, 2009

Floral Burst⠀ The blue flowers are my favorite.⠀ ⠀ Acrylic on Canvas, 2016⠀

This is based on a photo I took, and while I was working I took a lot of photos on the way that I later turned into a tutorial.⠀ ⠀ I have the tutorial on my patreon: http://patreon.com/snaratin ⠀ ⠀ Colored Pencils, 2006⠀
