Much Ado About Nothing

Did you know that stressed is desserts spelled backwards? I post random stuff that interest me

Magical Forest

Inspired to make this dreamy landscape after reading Kémya by @cypresswandonao3. Check out her fic, it’s amazing 🤩

Use twisted tree, rock texture, bark & wild grass for land and rock. Also do some character design based on this story. The outfit model is taken from some rpg games.

Watercolour Forest

Practice watercolour again.

Underwater

Ring at the bottom of the lake.

Luna Lovegood

Drawing Luna Lovegood with a bunny since hare is her patronus.

Using Florentine & Nutgrove brush for texture.

Value Study

Making this artwork to learn shadow and light.

The most challenging part was the hair on top of the head. Can’t see very well since it’s too light.

Nebula

Making whimsical artwork is so much fun.

[gingerbunz]

Picnic

Making this for Snape's birthday prompt 🎂

Use sanderling and bruny for this.

Watercolour

Making mountain landscape with watercolour brush.

The brush behaves differently compared to the brushes I’m regularly used, be it when combined with other hue or blend process. Needs to be careful when blending, since watercolour stoke is translucent. It creates new shades in each swipe and harder to cover when mess up.

Wash and round watery is soft and transparent good for blending. Water pen is solid, good for defining objects, shading and lining.

The second try is much better, have better control over the brush. Better started from single object first (￣^￣)ゞ

Bridgewater and pacific golden are nice watercolour brush. Wapping is another good lining pen, similar to inka.

Icicle

My second realism project. Attempting to draw object from photoshoot really need abundance of willpower.

Feeling lots of angst when making this artwork (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Use airbrush for blurry background and bokeh effect.

Multiply layer mode good for shadow, darken shade and making colour line art. Add layer for light and vibrant highlights.
