life itself

It is my journey to discover how can I express myself best and see if you like what I can put out there. // not doing commisions //

As I am still struggling with painting, I have started with mini watercolors on 5 by 5 cm papers. I also limit myself to one or two colors to make it as easy to start as possible. It seems to work.

I usually listen and draw along with other artists from youtube and this crane crest was too interesting not to try along with KORVIN.

While zentagle was fun, I had to admit mandalas are more relaxing being more geometrical. :)

To have more fun, I went back to geometrical drawings with ink. Trying some zentangle art. It was really meditating to draw.

I have admitted to myself that I struggle to practice and changed my approach to have more fun making art. This time, I've tried paper cutting that I planned in guache first.

Some ink practice from our family vacation to Rome.

I'm still bad at adding new items to my queue before it runs out. So after this short break - I had this vision to paint my rooms with the WoW sceneries and I did actually!

[kushiyushi-art]

Behold! The ink practices paid off. They saved my love for watercolor against the gouache. :))

Yes-yes, had the phase with Astarion as well. Though the only character I've managed to romance in Baldurs Gate 3 was the Emperor. I was proud of myself. :D

More experimenting with gouache. And yes, taking my own reference photos means a shitton of insect close ups in my phone.

[kushiyushi-art]

Bought some gouache out of curiousity. It might be more of my thing than watercolor actually. o.O

[kushiyushi-art]

Comfort paint-along with Maria Raczynska again.

[kushiyushi-art]

More pen drawing as an hommage to a trip to Banská Bystrica, Slovakia.

With the newfound inking skills, behold my first mixed-media pieces! Also learnt that I didn't have waterproof inks. :'D

[kushiyushi-art]

More Remington portraits. I warned you.

[kushiyushi-art]

More pen drawing! Also, started to took my reference photos, this is from Sitno, Slovakia.

Did some more paint-along with Maria Raczynska to get the hang of watercoloring.
