#30daysofhands

Day 28 of #30daysofhands here I've represented a figure from one of JW Waterhouse's paintings "Jason and Medea" I'm a big fan on his work and is definitely one of the artists who started me down onto this fantasy art path 😁 #artstudy #fantasyart #jasonandmedea #jwwaterhouse #bw #blackandwhite #ecoline #april2018 #belindaillustrates #australianartist #melbourneartist #practicemakesperfect

Day 25 of #30daysofhands Things I like to use for drawing hands Prismacolor Col-erase Pencils in Lavender, Rose, Tuscan Red and Blue, my smudge stick, Mono eraser, A6 Inskribe sketchbook and my Etchr Lab Field Case - and nearly forgot- my phone which I use for finding reference photos 😁 #prismacolor #Col-erase #Pencils #Lavender #Rose #TuscanRed #Blue #Monoeraser #A6 #sketchbook #etchr #FieldCase #belindaillustrates #australianartist #melbourneartist #practicemakesperfect #april2018

Day 29 of #30daysofhands reaching the end! I know that spending time over this past month or so has definitely helped my "handskills" 😉😆 if you had a whole month to practice one thing every day what would you do? #practicemakesperfect #prismacolor #pinkpencil #handstudy #april2018 #belindaillustrates #australianartist #melbourneartist #sketcheveryday #sketchbook #hands (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)

#30daysofhands Day 7. It's been a while since I did an illustration so I thought I'd have a go at illustrating a moment from the Tea Dragons book I'm thinking of writing and illustrating (it's based on an idea I came up with in 2012, last year I found out an artist was doing a comic series called the Tea Dragon Society, so I'm thinking I may have to change the name to avoid confusion). @changelingartist #hands #sketcheveryday #sketch #belindaillustrates #australianartist #melbourneartist #teadragons #petdragon #tinydragon #drawing #fantasyart #march2018

Day 14 of #30daysofhands here I have Acryla Gouache studies of hands from Bougereau and Jeremy Geddes (who I just found who also lives in Melbourne). If you swipe you can see some of my art kit in an @etchr_lab Field case alongside my A6 sketchbook for comparison. Unfortunately the gouache palette doesn't fit so I'll probably have to update to their Slate satchel eventually 😁 #acrylagouache #holbein #paintedhands #paintstudy #sketchbook #sktchy #australianartist #melbourneartist #march2018 #practicemakesperfect #kunst #masterstudies

Day 13 of #30daysofhands used to Holbein Acryla Gouache today for my studies. Started out just using 3 colours but when one of the tubes burst open while painting at a local cafe I decided to finish off the studies at home where I had access to more colours. Really loving the bottom one with its tangy orange (made from a mix of opera pink and lemon yellow). #acrylagouache #holbein #paintedhands #paintstudy #sketchbook #sktchy #australianartist #melbourneartist #march2018 #practicemakesperfect #kunst

Day 11 of #30daysofhands used my own hands for reference here. Gel pen and ink wash in sketch book. #blueink #inkdrawing #hands #practicemakesperfect #belindaillustrates #australianartist #melbourneartist #march2018

Day 18 for #30daysofhands I did a drawing a couple of months ago and decided I needed to change the position of the hands and here's the result 😁👏 Prismacolor on Dura-lar #oddfae #honeycomb #pinkpencil #prismacolor #draweveryday @changelingartist #practicemakesperfect #belindaillustrates #australianartist #melbourneartist #april2018
