I’m trying to do some warm up drawings and messing with different styles and brushes, papers, etc.
This is a simple line-art drawing, digitally drawn, without working off a rough. I used Painter 11, with the paper set so it has some tooth. When I use a pencil, I usually use the “grainy cover pencil”, which will cover any colors used underneath the it’s layer, as well as pick up on the grainy texture of the paper. If you work digitally, you know you can control the amount of grain with some of your tools. Painter’s digital watercolors are underneath the line work. I like to use them quick and fast. I don’t like things to look tight, so I’m fighting that ALL the time when I work. And finally, I will sometimes double up the line work and/or color layers, depending on how bold I want things to be. In this case, I went for bold.
It’s one of those days. You know them. Days where you don’t have any media stimulation on at all (no radio, tv, music, twitter, etc.). And the clock on the wall, the ticking was too loud so it was removed. All I can hear are the leaves blowing in the breeze and a squirrel in the far background, fussing about something. A dog now barks in the distance. Sometimes you have to create your own peace.

I’m playing around with different tools here (Both pigs are done digitally, btw). Pig #1 is done with a dry ink brush and colorized with pastels and pencil and a bit of splattered ink. I like that the ink line is a little unpredicable, going from thin to thick, etc. It’s kinda tight but not [...]
I was doing random warm-up drawings this morning, this little girl being among them. Starting with a head, then a scarf around a neck, led to a fall spot.
I’m liking working with the pencil tool in Painter. I gravitate towards medium that helps me keep things looser.
Yay!
Yay, indeed, Steven! Thanks for that!
I like this new style you’ve got going these days. I especially like the boy, he has a typical teen expression on his face.
Thank you, Jenn. Yeah, I did up the girl a little too much (for the age group), but left it as I kinda liked it.
It’s lovely Paula! I find the earlier I start, the more I get done. Not because I spend more time doing it, it’s just that it gives me a kick start and sets the pace for the day!x
Jess: Yes, that’s it. I am anxious all day long when I start off late. I’ve got to make it a habit, but I tend to be a late-night person. Hmmm!
they’re expressions are ace! Thanks for stopping at my blog! Ch
