Miriana Sarana

Hello,

I am MirianaSarana from Germany and I like to create traditional artworks influenced by sci-fi and fantasy.

Currently I am on a journey of learning, exploring, creation and figuring out where I want to go with my art.

I mainly use graphite pencils and gouache paint to create my artworks.

Occasionally I also like to use colored pencils, modelling paste, pigmented markers, pigmented watercolor markers and acrylic markers.

I also draw and paint fanart of things that inspire me.

For digitalisation, touch-ups and better presentation, I use the image editing software called GIMP.

You can communicate with me in English and my native language, German.

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day! :)

Had the sketch of this lying around for some time and decided to paint it. I also wanted to experiment with green and yellow colors.

Tried to paint a bit larger this time to see if I could make it work.

Some simplified drawings of the human heart that I can use as references for my artworks.

- Deer Skull In Blue -

Wanted to try out how the same coloring method would look with the color blue.

[mirianasarana]

- Deer Skull In Red -

Started to use gesso over the sketch again and painted a red underpainting this time. It turned out better than expected, but I experimented too much with the background and wasted some paint.

- Skull In The Water -

Haven't painted a fully planned-out artwork in a while. I had to experiment around a bit to figure some things out, but I really like how it turned out in the end.
