Anyone want to guess what I attempted to draw,?

An arial view of a river going through a city? A sandwitch? A baked potato? The impossibly of death in the mind of the living?

Are you going to tell us?

Smmudge was correct: it was a kebab.

Work in progress, and I can see that I've f*cked up the shadow on the switch on the double socket, so....

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Looks more like a double socket too…

Do you print out your work?

at the moment. No. But I'm looking at using a service like Photo Printing | Art Printing | Professional Photographic Printing

This has really taken a long time, my plan was to do the same picture in different media but not sure I want to look at it any more

How does procreate work? Do you draw with it?

 

[ohmyliver]

How does procreate work? Do you draw with it?

Yes, it's like a digital sketchbook, and it's been designed around the Apple Pencil, it's probably the nicest to use digital art app I've used because the UX is based on around how artists actually use physical media. I tend to use it like physical media that I don't have to tidy up.

eta although I think I might start using more analogue media because the lack of an undo function, and things like being able to move bits of the picture into the right position will force me to learn more.

This is the timelapse of the above drawing.

Thanks, it's pencil.

 

[ohmyliver]

Went to see Suede, took a photo which looked a bit like a painting, so I decided to do a procreate drawing based on it. attached the timelapse as well

Don't think there is a 2024 art thread, but I've been working on this portrait. Portraits are hard!
