DRAWING WITH WACOM TABLET + ARTRAGE 4/4

I saved the best til last. Well in my opinion. With this piece I wanted to add colour and create something interesting and out of my comfort zone. I think this piece can be perceived as grotesque. It kind of looks like the womans face has been cut in half and the red/pink colours are flesh. However I didn't intend for it to look like that, I just liked the contrast between the reds, the blue and the yellow, and I think this can be interpreted in many different ways.

DRAWING WITH WACOM TABLET + ARTRAGE 3/4

With this piece I carried on with the blurred/ moving theme. With this I drew out the face with the pencil tool on ArtRage and then used the clone tool to make it look like it's fading away. I've never created art like this before, it looks quite serious and deep. My main focus with this piece wasn't creating something that looks like a photograph, but something that conveys raw emotions.

DRAWING WITH WACOM TABLET + ARTRAGE 2/4

I really liked the sense of movement in my previous piece and therefore wanted to try and do some more work that was similar. I rarely give names to my art but I've titled this piece 'Dancing Rose' as it looks like the 3 roses are in a ballet class and dancing. The main difference between drawing with pencil and paper and drawing digitally is the time. Drawing digitally, especially with a tablet is so quick because you don't have to keep sharpening your pencil or looking for your rubber etc.

DRAWING WITH WACOM TABLET + ARTRAGE 1/4

I've been experimenting with the Wacom drawing tablet and ArtRage which came with tablet. This is the first piece. I used the pencil tool to draw a hand then a clone tool to create duplicates of it. I then used a paint rolling tool to add the pink swirls at the top. The one thing that I really like about this piece is the sense of movement which is something I usually find difficult to create.

PORTRAIT DRAWING + HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year!

I was asked by my friend, Andrea to draw her and her boyfriend as a Christmas gift, and I obviously said yes because I love doing portrait drawings. I tried something new with this drawing. I usually draw in sections but with this I did a really rough sketch with a pen then went in with the detail later with a pencil. Considering it was quite a quick and easy drawing to do, I think it turned good.
