Let's Draw

@Lukahhhhhhhh's art blog

I had this "finished" back in October, and should have just posted it for the theme at least close to on time.

I had initially intended to have blood smears on the table, with spatter and fingerprints on the pocketwatch, but I could never seem to get it to look how I wanted it to (it always looked overworked and cartoony), so I finally just scrapped the idea smh

I plan to print these out on canvas for mixed media pieces though, so I can paint the blood traditionally since I know I can make that look how I want it to, so we'll have to see how that eventually turns out

The wood grain took forever oh my god it was so tedious and time consuming

Hand painted but GOD it felt like linework, and I burnt the fuck out working on it, so I will not be doing that again

Anyways, which version to you like better, silver or gold? I couldn't decide, thus I did both :P (I also couldn't decide on the watermark placements lmao)

The initial concept sketches and (not actually) final painting for a sticker my dad wanted me to make.

Based roughly on a previous piece of mine, as it is inexplicably my dad's FAVORITE

He wanted me to make something very similar "but oh it should be a skull!" as a sticker for one of his disk-golf buddies to have on his disks

The pencil sketches were my first concept for it to ask my dad if that's what he meant.

He liked the second sketch better overall, but he wanted a face more like the first sketch so it looked like a "more serious deal skull"

I am always a fan of doodling the ghost designs from off (one of my default doodles) and I thought it was a nice look to have them as neon wisps in the dark of the cloak But unfortunately dad vetoed the ghosts 😔 So this is the real final piece, but I think it's less fun

(also if the wrist doesn't have enough bones in it shhh yes it does, the decision to make it a full skeleton instead of normal figure with a skull for a head was Last Minute and I was winging it)

[lukahdraws]

Done for the theme "recline" and we are going to both just pretend that the perspective/foreshortening on the head isn't stupid

For the theme "Greyscale" done in a regular mechanical pencil for the figure, with watercolour (or rather ink applied with a brush like watercolour) for the hair and nails

done in 2018

Another for the pose practice prompt (since that's been on the list more than once), this time more nudes at my boss' suggestion (he thinks I should do more classic artistic nudes and pinups since I've got the anatomy chops for it)

it is hilarious how stupid the faces of most of my pieces start out lmao

Mostly coloured pencils (specifically a set of mechanical coloured pencils that I have in red, blue, purple, orange, green, and pink. So I had to blend them carefully to make a good fleshy beige for the skin), with brown watercolour for the hair/brows/eyes

Done for the prompt "Pose Practice" but also used as an excuse to practice with the mediums since it was a new set of pencils at the time, and I generally find watercolours to be frustrating and difficult at best

[lukahdraws]

This piece is mixed media, acrylic for the figure (with a red pen in the underlayer for the linework), and watercolour (pencils) for the background Done in 2018 I believe For the theme "The Woman in Yellow"

Done in Acrylics in about an hour for the theme "Dancer" a few years ago (about 2017 I think?)

The entire composition came about because I had leftover purple paint that I'd cleaned off on a blank canvas that then just sat around for a while, and then later when the theme came up I decided it was a good background to work from, so I added a sketch and filled in the magenta to finish the spotlight effect it had going on

The outfit is green because I had a little bit of leftover greens mixed up from a different piece that I didn't want to go to waste.

A few years back I did the whole timed twenty minute sketches thing to cover the theme "Figure Study" a few times, since it HAS been on the list more than once :p

Looking around I couldn't seem to find the specific pictures I used, but they had to have been on https://line-of-action.com because I'm pretty sure that's the only site I've ever used for this kind of thing (honestly I very rarely use direct references because I'm kind of bad at using them)

So if you happen to recognize the poses and can find the exact reference images, it would be cool to link directly to them here for comparison

(Another set of pieces I forgot to upload to tumblr)

I'm kind of surprised this isn't on here already since I've definitely put pics of it on twitter back in the day This is from I think 2015? It's a pen and marker figure, watercolour hair, an acrylic background (that I added like a year later because my boss said it should have a background), and the little red bow is red thread I sewed directly into the paper and tied into a bow (and not a bow I tied and then glued on, which I realized in hindsight would have been a better way to do that lmao)

Done for the prompt "work with your non-dominant hand" so this should theoretically be a right-handed piece, but since I was exclusively taught to write and draw right handed growing up, I figured it was best to follow the spirit of the theme. So this was done entirely left-handed, with a dip pen, from 2018 I believe?

I usually switch hands frequently (sometimes depending on which hand gets tired, sometimes based on whatever the best angle for a line is), so only drawing with ONE hand stands out more as the challenge, rather than which hand it is tbh

Small (mostly) acrylic piece I did in I think 2016 With a black fineliner for the initial ink sketch, and white gel pen for the last highlights on the dress

And lastly a page of flowers from around the same time period Some of these are watercolour, some of these are coloured pencil, and some of them are gel pens

[lukahdraws]

Some horse (and a centaur) sketches I'm pretty sure I forgot to upload to tumblr?

no idea when these were actually sketched, I should start date stamping my pencil sketches...

[lukahdraws]

A few years ago my Auntie asked me to make two paintings for her (a couple's portrait of her and her boyfriend, and also a painting of her dog), but I never got photos of the finished pieces so I could upload them RIP

But she texted me some photos last year so that I'd have a copy for the archives (and I forgot to upload them onto tumblr before now, oops)

I did these with cheap acrylics in the summer heat back in 2022, so the paint didn't cooperate with me as much as I would have liked

The background is actually just a solid green, the lighting from the window is just blowing the hell out of it 😩

Okay I finally finished the reference sheet/character sheet for Eden, my OC in the TTRPG campaign I'm in with a group of friends

They're a half-elf undying-warlock (who was originally studying to be a wizard and hopefully a lich, before discovering the connections that would have to their childhood trauma RIP)

It's very funny because personality wise Eden seems a bit pathetic and most of the party jumps to help them and get them out of danger

but this is because Eden purposefully cultivates that personality around them for their own benefit, they're actually very capable of protecting themself and have high HP Eden the secret tank who would really rather be studying weird occult magic and collecting bones instead of fighting lmao

Also here's an alt version with some alternate accessories, and minor disguises

I made it in GIF form

Not a WIP because this is as done as I'm ever going to make it, but I sketched this for my friend @xcuber2-art

[lukahdraws]

I was painting alongside my friend Bear while he was streaming today

Our friend Risa requested I draw some feet, and I obliged.

..this was meant to just be a warmup, but ended up being a two hour study oops

I'm not sure how well it actually functions as titillation since I don't really get the whole feet thing, so I'm not sure how to frame it more erotically than just a study but, Risa seemed pleased enough with it

[lukahdraws]

recently I attempted to paint a lil baby Goku on strawpage and didn't get to finish it because I accidentally hit send early 😭

But! I have finished recreating it

It's been so long since I've done stylized art like this, but he's so cute ;w;

I started with a pencil sketch (before I even started trying to draw it on strawpage, a lot of my stuff starts as pencil sketches)

and then I used that sketch as the base to line and colour from, so the final piece is mixed media

I also have lines for him if you want to colour him yourself!

You can absolutely edit these lines as you see fit for your colouring needs! And I would love to see what you do, so if you take a crack at colouring him, be sure to send me a link to show me!!

Done for the theme "burned" on the 13th, so I did a fire study! This was maybe three hours of total work, and my eyes are tired of staring at orange, so I'm definitely done

I think I've drawn fire in my life maybe four times ever? And this is the first time I painted it seriously, but I'm quite happy with how it's come out!

I maybe went a bit overboard on the wax drips though, and the lighting on them is a touch dramatic, but oh well

[lukahdraws]

the pieces I've actually done for drawtober this month so far, for the themes "Web" and "Chilled to The Bone"

[lukahdraws]

This is a piece I did for my friend as part of an art trade with him, inspired by the themes he uses in some of his work :3c So this cat is Death's friend, who I imagine is patiently awaiting the end of the workday for Death to come back to visit

My thought is the moon functioning as the Cat's field of vision, as it watches over the world (and Death in it) or possibly as Death staring back, keeping an eye on a friend

[lukahdraws]

A painting I finished back in October for my friend @transcater's birthday that I never posted here lmao

She's a vampire in love with a werewolf, all very cliche haha

I have also coloured her before, from one of his character sheets for her
