Art Hoard!

Hi! Call me Alma, I paint, draw and hoard a bunch of art supplies. Sometimes I try out other hobbies - Send me an ask if you want to talk about diy projects, your art or about whatever.

I haven't drawn in a while, and let me tell you, my hand forgot how to draw lines and doesn't move like how I want it to move XD

I have to get back to the drawing warm ups and drawing excises

Little concept sketch of an interior, with winter garden.

Later I build it in my recent modded minecraft save.

The story behind the house that it is a modern wizard's dwelling, that along the decades and centuries build extensions of the house. This is why its so different in colour, material and style.

After SEVEN YEARS I finished my knitted scarf. I was joking about it that I will be buried with this unfinished scarf. It took this long because maybe I knitted a few row maybe monthly and now I had time to actually finish the remaining length (after SEVEN YEARS, I started it while staying at home at the time of corona virus lockdown) I watched a lot of great movies while doing knots after knots. Watching Netflix's Bridgerton series was a pleasant surprise it was great! The vibe and character development was great and also knitting while watching gossiping ladies was lot of fun :D

The finished scarf is 26 cm wide and 150 cm long, the material is a wool blend. Knitting actually was more tiring for my hands than wall climbing, I guess while knitting I gripped the needles too hard. Well, knitting won't be my favourite pastime activity XD. But I'm glad I tried it.

I started to practice 3D modelling in Blender. Found a good beginner product design playlist by @sweatygreasestudio on Youtube.

I used geometry nodes for the twisted bottle and cap, and for the hairs too. (I do not understand them yet), also a neat trick to use latice to deform the mascara applicator head

Personally, I've always wanted to learn blender more in depth, but did not found the motivation to do so. Not the topic that would keep my attention, nor the correct difficulty challenge for me.

During the semester while learning about product design, I had to use generative AI to make a product render (to my great shame). I could have used blender, but the time and my skill limitation did not made it possible, and I had to finish the assignment. We got blender class, but those were not sufficient, besides it wasn't focused on product design to my disappointment.

On the bright side, my CAD skills are starting to come together.

Another mending project

My favourite bag started to be more worn out than it is practical (or fashionable, at least for me), so I started to mend it with colourful threads. As you can see there will be more in the future XD.

Studies from summer, I recommend www.practicedrawingthis.com because they have wonderful 3d tools to practice perspecrive.

Also it gave me a reason to use my vibrant alchoholic markers.

Hi! My name is also Alma and I love your art! What do you use to paint and draw?

Hi!

I'm glad you asked, also Alma means apple in my mother language, so I hope that makes your day!

I use a lot of different art media. Mostly ink, watercolour and digital art programs.

My watercolour collection, you can get away with waaaaay less colours.

Love to use olive green, crimson red and russian blue.

Also my other art supplies and favourite brushes.

You can see ink and watercolour brushes as well, they have a different behaviour. The classic watercolour brushes are more flexible but have less texture.

You can see my inks, both black.

Alcoholic markers, for sketches.

Acrylic ink markers for effects and ink sketches, i will post some studies i made with them in a while.

I tend to use black ball point pen for sketches because I don't use the rubber anyway. Also the soft graphite often smudges in my sketchbook.

As for paper, I use 300 g/m2 for watercolour, for other drawings i use whatever I find more quickly. XD

I scan my paintings then I correct the colours in digital with Clip Studio Paint. I used to make more digital drawings, but I find it charming and quite satisfying to feel the paper and supplies with my hands.

I can show you some dramatic changes I make when I digitally "enchant" my paintings.

also

They rough scans show my processes as well, you don't get refined art from me, I just love to leave a colourful mark on paper, and make it even more colourful digitally.

I love to talk about my art supplies, I hope you enjoyed my little ramblings.

Have fun creating!

Too cool wizard,

don't worry he got his ORB!

It is a 800 W (Wizzard) powered heating orb, it is quite good one on the market.

(The academy he attends to does not have budget for heating, the money goes to beverage making, not the magical one.)
