Syd Illustrates

I started on this thumbnail for a new illustration. I think the bunny will be in the center of the piece but I haven’t decided on the background.

Sometimes drawing from memory is not entirely the best idea.

Today as an Artis t day 15. Today I drew this portrait in profile view. How was your day?

I am trying to decide if the person should be really serious or a little bit clueless. What would you do with this idea?

I was working on creating a header for the home page of my website! I did get a little distracted and drew out some concepts for future illustrations.

The background and headers are very much still a work in progress. Suggestions are welcome.

It was a lot of fun making the color palettes/templates!

I really enjoyed drawing this. I forced me to be more decisive and bold with my lines; which I feel gave the piece more personality. This portrait is not of anyone in particular, it is kinda a culmination of different people. She kinda reminds me of a runway model what do you think? Where you you guys like to get your inspiration and references from? This is a short time-lapse video of a fountain pen and brush pen portrait. In this video I talk you through some of the things I was going through and thinking of while painting this piece, some of my struggles with this piece, and how I was able to get these results. I also share a few techniques I used. If you have a Tik Tok creator or anyone else you would like to see a portrait of let me know down in the comments section. There is no wrong way to art; however some techniques make painting easier \ more fun and if you don't like the way it turns out you can always try it again later. I am still working on the voiceover thing but I hope this was entertaining, educational, and inspirational.

Here is a short tutorial on a brush control exercise. The larger the brush the better for this exercise.

Hey so this is the third watercolor palette 🎨 up for review. It is called the Prima Marketing Classics set and it received a Syd rating of 6✨. It outranked the Winsor and Newton cotman watercolors because I found these to be more fun to paint with.

Just setting up my paint palette. Any suggestions or tips about oil painting would be greatly appreciated 😁
