Mini Java Portrait :3

First off I made this on 16th August, but only now am I updating my blog… I’ve been busy with life stuff so this is me making an attempted to get back into creating for myself and ACTUALLY REMEMBERING TO SHARE WHAT I DO

I bought a bunch of mini canvases and I managed to find the time and motivation to create a mini portrait of my baby :)

I remembered to take progress photos yaaay :D

Time approx: 4 hours

My Observational Drawings Sketchbook Page 3

Here is another page full of animal studies ^-^ I’ve been using pinterest a butt load now, I get my images of animals from there. I’m getting faster at sketching I make sure I don’t spend over an hour on a drawing. The only reason I end up taking so much time on a sketch is because I get carried away with shading and adding detail :P I love how much I’ve developed <3

My Observational Drawings Sketchbook Pages 1 & 2

Since around October 2017 I started this sketchbook for observational sketches. So far it’s just been animals drawings - I just love drawing animals; nature genuinely fascinates me. Basically I’ll go sit and watch any old nature show on Netflix (watching 72 deadliest animals series atm) or I go on Pinterest to find something to draw.

My sketching skills are improving I’m trying to put more energy into my mark making which means I’m faster and being less precious on details. I REALLY need to sketch more often though. Hopefully I’ll be more determined to keep this up now I’ve made a solid start!

Coloured sketch of myself

Animal Studies, page 4

Finally another page of fluffy babes :D I’ve noticed I really like drawing fur. Its so loose and wild I can just attack the page with scribbles and it just looks neat.

I started with my animal drawings to improve my own creatures drawings, but ngl I’m just enjoying admiring animals atm. They’re such precious beings. Their lives are so complex and chaotic yet everything links and balances itself out. I am in such awe of the natural world... Wish industries would fuck off and leave these guys alone...

Portrait for my gaming buddy

My radical dorky buddy asked for a portrait of himself so here it is. However it’s not quite finished… There’s more to do, but eh… yaaay for unfinished work :)))

Made this in July/August idk… Can’t remember how long it took either lmao

Java Acrylic Painting 2.0

After creating my mini portrait of Java I then upped the size and made this piece. This was actually a wedding gift for my brother. Which he loves btw :D

I couldn’t believe how focused I was when creating this. Took me 6 hours from start to finish and I was so determined to do it all in one go. Pushing myself to complete this in one day meant I was on a goddamn roll and I am so happy with the result!

PROGRESS PICS :D :D :D Time approx: 6 hours

P.s  He was such a handsome boy <3 I miss him so much.
