Art thread 2020

[Mumbles274]

I like that I'm hoping to have a go at wood carving this summer.

Do it. Has cost me a little to get going but now I have the basic tools it shouldn't cost too much to do lots. I've got some small pieces of wood coming for next set of prints

Did my second wood block carving and print this afternoon. Needs a little reworking but that's standard. These are a couple of the first prints

I've been so busy with moving house that I've barely made any art...but over the next few days I plan to return to this which I began in the midst of it all and I feel expresses some of the feelings - waves of overwhelm and my attempts to box up my life.

Third and final pink blush canvas. Sand is really hard?! Had to do it twice. But apart from that I've settled into my technique a lot since the first one so now they will probably all look a bit odd hung next to each other

I drew the other hand.

I love this - I've loved looking through the whole thread actually, making art stuff feels like a lifeline at the moment.

This one has taken me a while. Firstly I really wanted to hone my realism skills which it has, though I think I need to work on hair more. Secondly I've just started an Instagram account so it's a bit of a shameless attempt to garner likes and followers.... I noticed how people will put their art up and the subject is so often young beautiful women. So I drew a man (in drag).

Oh I did another one! This one's harder, I didn't know who she was but my dad challenged me (thought he was being clever with the fur)

You have an amazing talent. These portraits look like b&w photos they’re so realistic.

I would say from looking at other artists on instagram I'm mediocre when it comes to looking realistic! But I don't mind that much. It's a skill but it takes a lot of time and my motivation for it is not always there, sometimes I would rather be creative than realistic, so I'd to find a style somewhere in the middle, that would be a real skill.

Here's one I've been working on.

 

[Clair De Lune]

having fun with this so far

 

[smmudge]

I wanted to try a pen and wash effect, suffice to say this did not turn out like that at all and I basically used the watercolours like acrylics.



Will try again on a landscape, I want to let go a bit of being realistic and develop some sort of style.

I have become obsessed with drawing this in the last week. I'm going to colour and shade a few today.

 

[Edie]

I love this pattern! Can't stop looking at it. I feel like I could deck out a whole room with it, curtains, cushions, bedsheets, lampshades.... Get it on some fabric

 

[smmudge]

I love this.
Its the kind of art you can get lost in while doing...

Wow they look great, very peaceful

 

[Aladdin]

Wow they look great, very peaceful

Thank you.
I never know if they're going to be liked or not. I like quiet places.

 

[spirals]

I've been teaching myself watercolours

Wow, there's some real talent on here, feel a bit sheepish, buuuut...

This is the most recent thing I've done that I done loathe; was for Inktober "Shoes".

I post most of my stuff on instagram as gaffenomicon, or on the fediverse where I'm currently doing some quick sketching as @gaffen@a.nti.social
