Photo update of my new inkling. I've been working on the background,  and trying to get the intensity of colour and darkness.  Not much to show for two hours work,  but a lot of layers were needed.. #art #creative #botanical #drawing #promarkers #letraset #micron #pigma #fantasy #rainforest #elf

Photo update of my bearded iris for my Wildlife and Botanical class. I've finished putting the intensity of colour into the petals,  and am now working on adding the light parts in using pastel pencils.  Actually pretty pleased with how it's coming. #art #creative #botanical #painting #watercolour #derwent #inktense #iris #pastel #pencils #highlights

Photo update of my Winter Fairy girl. I've been working on the deer for most of today and also added in the extra tree branch to the background.  There's still a lot of work to do on it but I'm pleased with how it's going so far.  #art #love #inspired #gouache #winter #fairy #illustration #deer #tree

Photo update of my bearded iris for my Wildlife and Botanical class. The base watercolor wash is done and I've started strengthening the colour in the stem and leaf and bud. It's a bit darker than I'd like,  but I'm hoping to be able to lift out some of the colour.  #art #creative #botanical #painting #watercolour #derwent #inktense #iris

Tuesday, 11 March 2014

Photo update of my Winter Fairy girl. I've been working more on the foreground and have tried to strengthen the colour of the skintone. I'm pleased with how it's coming. Still a lot more work to do though. #art #creative #winter #fairy #gouache #illustration #love #inspired #fantasy

Finished my artichoke today in class. I love working with promarkers! !! The rest of the class hated doing the artichoke but I've actually really enjoyed it and am very pleased with the result. #art #love #inspired #botanical #drawing #promarkers #letraset #artichoke #finished

Artichoke,  all drawn and inked ready for the colour in art class on Tuesday.  :-) #art #creative #botanical #drawing #artichoke #wip

Bookmark taggy, coloured with promarkers.  The flower is a hibiscus. I really like the effect I've managed to get on the petals and leaves. I think I would have done things a little differently with the centre of the flower if I was to do it again.  #art #creative #botanical #drawing #promarkers #letraset #love #inspired #hibiscus

I finished my sweetcorn in art class on Tuesday.  I like the effect of the shading, even though it was extremely fiddly to do. I'm also quite pleased with the leaves.  I wasn't sure how they'd come out but I deliberately decided not to draw in all of the individual lines on them, as I thought it would be overkill. #art #creative #botanical #drawing #graphite #sweetcorn #shading #finished

Photo update of my crocheted granny square afghan.  I'm not sure what colour to add in yet. Thinking of something paler.. #craft #crochet #grannysquares #afghan

Photo update of my wip sweetcorn.  I've started the shading,  but it's very intricate work, and is taking quite a while to do but I'm actually really enjoying it.  #art #love #inspired #wip #sweetcorn #shading #graphite #botanical #drawing

Photo update of my Winter Fairy girl. I've started laying down the base of the background and also put in the arctic hare and the stag, which I was quite pleased with as I drew them in freehand! #art #love #inspired #gouache #winter #fairy #illustration #fantasy

Photo update of my finished bunch of garlic. It took me just under two hours of work to get the inking in, but I actually really enjoyed the focus of trying to get the shape of the garlic using only lines. #art #creative #botanical #linedrawing #ink #focused #finished #garlic #copicmultiliner

Photo update of my Winter Fairy girl. I've transferred the drawing on to mount board and started adding the background.  I'm planning to add an arctic hare and  maybe a reindeer fawn too. I've also started working on painting the figure.  #art #love #inspired #gouache #winter #fairy

Photo update of the garlic for my Wildlife and Botanical class. I've almost finished the original drawing,  then I have to ink it all in. Nice, fiddly, intricate detail work. #art #creative #botanical #linedrawing #ink #focused

First look at my new wip. This is the sketch for my Winter Fairy girl. I plan to transfer the drawing on to mount board and use gouache. I plan to sit her on the ground, beside a tree stump, maybe, with frost and toadstools, and snowdrops and maybe an arctic hare. #art #love #inspired #newpic #creative #drawing #winter #fairy #gouache
