A digital painting I made of my father inspired by a self-portrait made by Edvard Munch. I took this photograph for a school assignment a long time ago. Because my father’s birthday was coming up, I decided I wanted to paint this photograph of him.

I wanted to depict the loneliness and melancholy of substance abuse. This is a topic that hits close to home.

This artwork took a long time to make. For once, I’m proud of something I made.

New to tumblr :o I decided to make a #artvsartist grid so show some of my favorite artworks

Landscape painting (digital art, 2023).

This is the first landscape artwork I made digitally. At that time, I was way more experienced in drawing techniques than painting techniques, but with this artwork I tried to work like a painter. I started with big shapes instead of lines to get the essence of the artwork. Then, I slowly started to add more and more details. This efficient way of working made it possible for me to finish the artwork in one (long) sitting.

My artwork about grief💞

I made this painting for drawtober 2023, the prompt was “ghostly ballroom”. I thought about two lovers dancing, where one of them is gone. The memory of them persists in the women’s mind, but as she gets older, the memory is slowly fading away. I added some of my writing from the (art)book I’m making about my mental health.

Digital painting progress (I’m really proud of the result 🥰) Digital still life I did to practice with colour. The challenge was to not colour pick from the reference, but still try to make the painting rich in colour. Although I’m not a big fan of photorealistic paintings (I prefer expressing myself in my artworks instead of just copying a photograph), I’m happy I finally finished this artwork after not touching it for one year. What do you think about photorealistic art?

“Artist’s room”, digital line art (progress)

I made a three point perspective drawing of my own room.

I’m proud of the details in this line art :). Also, shout out to you if you recognize the lp’s and cd’s on the shelves.

I started off with drawing the floor plan. Then I warped this floor plan into perspective and began sketching the furniture on top of it. The progress:

The reference is used loosely:

At the moment, I’m working on coloring this piece. I'm doing this from imagination:

Revisiting this art account :) I will be posting again

I don't think I ever introduced myself on here. Hello, my name is Vera and I'm 22 years old. I started drawing when I was 16 years old. At that time, I mostly did fan art of my favourite musicians and bands. This kind of art doesn't attract me anymore because nowadays I feel the need to express myself more. I'm still thankful for this time because I drew a lot and developed my skills quickly.

The best decision for my art journey was buying a drawing tablet. Now a small hobby became a passion. I'm mostly an audidact, I watched a lot of youtube tutorials about art to enhance my knowledge. A big passion for lightning in artworks grew. I love creating strong moods in artworks like you can see on the artworks here. When I draw, I feel like I'm entering another world - a world I desperately want to escape to.

I spent the last month in a mental hospital where I had a lot of time to draw and think. Now I know for sure I want to be an artist when I'm older. Mental health has a big influence on my daily life, and lately I have been creating artworks about my life journey. I still need to finish and post these artworks, but this is the direction I'm headed for this account.
