Lycanda-ARTS

Works of Art in my opinion are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in art for art's sake. E.M.Foster (1879-1970)

Made another piece last night as I was struggling to fall sleep. The peach coloured glass gem is wrapped in blank copper wire and embellished with a few bicone beads. The pendant is then strung onto a 16in black cord. #lycandaart #wirejewelry #wirewrapping #copperwire #copperjewelry #pendant #handmade #beads #glass #glam #lycanda #business https://www.instagram.com/p/ChaKmNiIx4F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On Sunday, another How to draw video will be posted on my YouTube channel. This time I will talk about the concepts of construction, deconstruction and abstraction and how you can use them to draw absolutely everything. So stay tuned😁 #lycandaart #lycanda #anouncement #youtube #comingsoon #howto #artist #art #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdd-lawr_MH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Chinese New Year everyone. One of my other projects was sadly delayed by technical difficulties, but I'm glad this little kitten made it in time. He will be available as a print in my shop in a couple of days. #lycandaart #chinesenewyear #chinesenewyear2022 #watertiger #tiger #drawing #pencil #pencildrawing #colouredpencils #lycanda #design #luckycat https://www.instagram.com/p/CZaeFGfIAkE/?utm_medium=tumblr

The canvas for the first of my 12 piece Egyptian gods series this year is prepared and ready to be painted. I'm getting really excited, as this is one of the biggest projects I've taken on in a while. Did you know I have a YouTube channel? #wip #workinprogress #canvas #sketchingstage #lycanda #lycandaart #series #egypt https://www.instagram.com/p/CY1LtS5oPLP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rough drunken sketch and more refined, clean one next to one another. What do you think, should I paint her? #lycandaart #wip #sketch #progress #pencil #pencilsketch #sketchbook #workinprogress #refine #keepgoing #lycanda https://www.instagram.com/p/CWDcdbII0cj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just remembered that I still needed to post the finished banner design for that WIP I posted the other time. This was the result and it took me around 45-60 minutes painting time, split up over 3 smaller sessions, as my attention span has dwindled to literally that of a fruit fly thanks to depression/anxiety. The highly shortened/sped up version of my painting this can be seen in my previous post. And an 8 minute long one on YouTube, if you search for lycanda.art #lycandaart #dragon #banner #green #red #blue #depression #keepgoing #keeptrying #youcandoit #watercolour #canvas #painting #lycanda https://www.instagram.com/p/CVnCyuOoTxB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Meet my dog Q. He's one of my companions at home and came to me through my chosen sis almost half a year ago. He can be a handful sometimes, but overall, I really lucked out with this pretty and well behaved boy. 🥰 I'll have a really rough day and there he is, just poking his damp nose onto my lap and bugging me gently, until we play or be doing something silly like chasing light specks on the floor until he gets a laugh out of me.

This is my workspace at home. A folding table in tiny 1.5x2.5m room that I'm sharing with my two hamsters Marbles and Pebbles (Marbles' cage is just peeking at the corner 🙈). I'm just away to paint a banner for some of my social media. #lycandaart #workspace #personal #gettoknowme #painting #wip #lycanda https://www.instagram.com/p/CUucwYxoLi6/?utm_medium=tumblr

The struggle is real guys... 😩 Trying to get things done in an inadequate workspace is painful. 😔 But it's better than nothing and I love doing what I'm doing too much to just stop. I'm looking forward to the day I can upgrade to something more suitable. In the meantime: I'm currently working on some Halloween goodies, so keep your eyes peeled for future content. #lycandaart #digitalillustration #workinprogress #workspace #rant #struggling #lovewhatyoudo #keeptrying #keepgoing #lycanda #halloween https://www.instagram.com/p/CTuM28woDTy/?utm_medium=tumblr
