Sunflower

DelusionalAngel — Mon, 17 May 2010 12:40:04 +0000

Was drawing a sunflower, couldn’t resist adding a face to it as I was too lazy to make the center of it look good. Now I’m kind of stuck on what to do with the rest but here’s what I have thus far…

Testing faces

DelusionalAngel — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:44:03 +0000

So I’ve been sketching the cartoon’y faces in *gasp* a real paper sketchbook when bored. And thought hey, I wonder what I’d really like better – a digital painting version of this sketch. like I usually do them in Twisted Brush or vector based from Anime Studio (I still need to learn this program properly). Still playing around with both versions but here you go, the results so far:

The original sketch of the face, yeah it’s small. I draw tons of faces all over the page unless I think something is good, then I try a big version on its own, which is rare. Otherwise it’s just lots of small faces, half faces, eyes, lips, whatever… just practice stuff.

The sketch taken into Anime Studio and drawn over using that vector styled graphics program.

The sketch taken into Twisted Brush and redrawn over using digital pencils and paints.

When I get bored…

I was working on Christmas presents — yes late ones given I’m mailing them (one is done, two almost are — Saturday or Sunday = my self imposed mailing deadline). I had to stop because it was too late to sew given how loud the machine can be. And even if it wasn’t — well I was getting frustrated as my hands hurt, cramped up, and I couldn’t cut or sew anywhere near straight — not that I can normally but it was really bad. Sooo, instead of pissing myself off, I did something else — play with the art program I don’t usually play with: ArtRage. Made this, she’s clearly not done, a work in progress, unless I forget about her

I do use my sketchbook

So I do use my sketchbooks. They’re a mess of course as I mostly just doodle stuff like practice cartoon’y eyes and half faces. Tons of stuff like that, multiple things like that one one page. Often overlapping each other on a page. I’m a freak. But I figured I’d take pics of a few of those things that you can still identify in those messes and post them here.

Just a random cartoon't guy sketch

I could swear I posted this guy before, maybe I just planned to because I had been digitizing him. Maybe I’ll post that wip version too. Just some random BatBoy that also looked kind of Werewolf’y to me. I dunno wtf he is really, I just drew and that’s what he became.

Batboy sketch

Yeah, here he is. Still in progress though he has been forever, so maybe he’ll never be done, can’t figure out what to do with him.

BatBoy Digital

No, I can’t draw from reference pics yet, obviously. And I should use a ruler or something instead of trying to draw lines on my own But this is based on one of the CA missions. LaPurisma maybe? I forget now.

Really bad sketch based on one of the Missions

This was going to be a faerie but as usual I just used the page to draw all kinds of random eyes, half faces, etc. So this is really all I have of her.

Faerie sketch...

Spunky Girl

Rough paper sketch I did in a few minutes tonight, but I decided turned out pretty cute — and she looks pretty spunky to me, so she’s just Spunky Girl. I may need to do something more with her.

Purse Sketch

DelusionalAngel — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 13:21:44 +0000

quick purse sketch

Don’t mind me, this is a 20-30 second paper / pencil sketch of an idea for a purse. The problems of course are many 1. I’d want to many different girls for purses so I’d have to plan this out and order tons from Spoonflower aka figure out the right sizes, etc. 2. I don’t sew. 3. For any other problems, see #2 Then again it’s a pretty simple purse that I’d like to make so maybe if I ever finish organizing my office, I might take up a new craft since chainmail is too hard on me now to do regularly.

I credit Anouk with helping inspire this. New Anouk Music always makes me feel like doing something artistic! *nods* She has a free download through the 8th here.

Another girl – wip

DelusionalAngel — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 02:18:45 +0000

Eh… I liked her face, but couldn’t figure out what to do with her, so she’s been a work in progress for awhile and nothing I do with her works…. so I keep playing with outfits and random scenery backgrounds, which I’m no good at. Hrmph, she seems to be turning into a permanent wip.
