Looking back at this painting, I am quite unsatisfied with it. And I remember being happy right after finishing it. Som people say that “being disappointed in previous work is a sign of growth”. Dunno about that.

Here, I wanted to try to use more muted colours in the palette: yellow ochre, ultramariene and burnt sienna. All of them are much more opaque compared to other stuff that I have which makes painting a bit easier. #art

One of rare moments where uneven lighting helps me. This drawing was photographed upside-down with lamp shining above. I then rotated it in post and further emphasized the hotspot. Maybe it would be a good idea to use reflective paint as “light sources” in future paintings #art

One of my favourite paintings. While painting this, I finally figured out how to achieve more brilliant yellow and orange colours. I miss the simplicity of digital art, but at the same time it feels so rewarding to have a physical painting.

I kind of dismissed Bluesky at first, but it seems like it will be here for a while. So, It is a good opportunity to make something like a year retrospective. Here, I wanted to use my tube of gold-colored acrylic. I bought it years ago and rarely used. Turns out, a golden signature looks quite nice

I wasn’t expecting very much from Bluesky

I honestly don’t understand why #hashtags are used here.

Finally finished this one. I kind of forgot how to watercolour and didn’t plan very well, so the lighting is a bit inconsistent. Nevertheless, I’m very satisfied with the result

Iterating further

Traced the drawing on different paper and coloured it with watercolour. I actually forgot how to work with them, so it looks pretty desaturated. Maybe I’ll try this again tomorrow.

“It is easy to mistake a castle servant for a noble because of the way they dress and behave. They are treated with respect, but the slightest mistake can cost them their lives. This may be the reason why Amber Castle is the safest place in the Northern Region.” This is transparent paper and liners

I’m continuing to experiment with tracing my own art in Inkscape. I think the coloured one is worse than the original sketch 🤔 Lacks textures and finer details.

I am almost out of this toned paper. I don’t like it, but I’m very stubborn and want to use it all before switching back to plain white A4 paper which I had a lot of. This drawing is from September 2023.

A photo study I did in September. I honestly have no idea how I managed to make this color combination work. It probably was a lot of trial and error.

Of all my recent artworks, this one I like the most

After endless struggle with Krita and digital art, I decided to drop the latter altogether and switch fully to traditional. I’m going to give it another chance and from time to time colour my sketches in Inkscape.

The Fiery Pit

This drawing takes too much time, which I don’t really have. It is more important for me to establish more scenes and interactions between my beloved furry characters than to polish each and every sketch to the perfection. I’d rather come back to it later.

I’m surprised that some stupid handles are still available. For once, I don’t have to be creative

Hello! I was reluctant to join, but curiosity won in the end. Starting with the most recent acrylic painting of Sasha, my original character. The choice of clothing is due to the prompt list from months ago.
