I liked yesterday's #inkyDays drawing so much that I did one on watercolor paper. I also made some progress on a bigger floral piece. So much drawing today :)
After I added some older #Mermay works on DeviantArt, I mentioned one #mermaid was based on my sister. So I had short conversation in comments and other user asked me, if I plan to draw myself or my sister as a mermaid. I thought it could be a good idea and started #drawing.
Initially I planned more stereotypical scene, treasures from a shipwreck etc. Later I thought ships nowadays would drop more modern artifacts, like electronics. So what about made this picture also a symbol of my current complicated relationship with modern tech, as an IT person with some knowledge but also kind of Luddite who actively avoid mainstream devices and services?
When I sometimes read or hear about newest drama in corporate software world, my most often first reaction is similar to this picture :blobcat_uwucry:
Mixture of surprise, shock and disgust...
Recently I started to travel a lot again and I don't really have motivation and time for drawing practice.
Today though I managed to get some:
This time I was experimenting with quick sketch. Instead of really looking at proportions between shapes I started with one shape and based whole drawing on circles with specific ratios.
That's why the nose it too big :bongoCat: It's easy to get lost when you loose reference and try to go faster with #drawing#art#watercolor
The Art Newspaper leads off with a deep dive into the vibrancy of the Palestinian art scene in Gaza - “people in the community really responded to what these artists were doing in places like Shababeek & Eltiqa, which unfortunately have now been destroyed.”
#Mermay - demonic edition.
Because if hell is underground, it should be under oceans. And its gates would be in deepest place, guarded by creatures like this :blobCat_devil:
