First finished #drawing class this school year. Should have prepared the paper to use water, but ah well. I like how the composition turned out, but the reference image for the person was just a photo from a magazine, so perhaps I should give this approach another try.

Drawing in blue, purple, and fuchsia. The composition is a bit abstract and ambiguous between 2D and 3D: they might be stacked cards, mirrors or crystal faces. Three of the 'cards' contain the same face of a bearded man with slightly open mouth, in three colours, and mirrored once.

Hey #ArtistsOnMastodon,
So I'm like lower-mid when it comes to drawing. I want to improve and I know it takes practice. Can anyone recommend something like simple daily exercises that I can do to work on my artistic skills? Guided is ideal, with a short time-investment per exercise. I don't have a whole lot of free time.

Any advice and boosts are appreciated. Thank you!

A selection of pencil and ink "drawings", one for each day of this month. A man with a mustache yelling "Biscuits!", a European 4-in-1 chainmaille weave, a crown, a murky pond surrounded with reeds and grass, a deer with large antlers looking forwards, an ear with rings and a plug in the lobe, and a flying baracuda with wraparound shades in space

I hope I can be forgiven for posting a #drawing for #drawtober that I made last weekend. I did finish it only yesterday. The odd colour is because I had to photograph it by artificial light, daylight having grown scarce here.

It's a portrait study of 1930s actress Anna May Wong.

A portrait drawing of a young Chinese woman with long dark hair, somewhat wavy lower down. Her face is turned slightly to the right but she is looking at the viewer with a watchful expression. She has large almond-shaped eyes and the narrow arched eyebrows that were fashionable in the 1930s. Her hair covers her forehead down to her eyebrows. She has a long small nose and her small mouth is closed.

My partner thinks he isn’t good at art, but he is! He does fun little drawings all the time and while he doesn’t consider that ‘art’ I think he’d enjoy something like a simple doodle-a-day prompt system for a holiday gift

I’m looking for recommendations on a sketchbook, some quality pens or markers and maybe a prompt book, zine or website I could sign him up for

My focus is quilting and I don’t know much about drawing so boosts and any ideas are welcome!

Maybe now this is my most successful work...
This one is called Allen's Hummingbird 🐦‍⬛
I tried to do cartoon and stylized hummingbirds but finally wanted to make realistic one.

#drawing #art #MastoArt #CreativeToots #krita #ArtWithOpenSource #bird #birds

Raelistic drawing of flying hummingbird on blurry green background. The bird has green feathers on back, beige on belly, red shiny spot on throat, brown wings and orange-and-black tail. Its legs are close to body, only curled fingers visible and wings up above head.

This one is called blue-tailed damselfly and (probably) is really smaller than this picture.

#drawing #art #MastoArt #CreativeToots #krita #ArtWithOpenSource #insect #insects

Realistic drawing of a dragonfly, closely zoomed. It has black body with some bright blue spots. Its transparent wings are spread. It is sitting on a long leaf, surrounded by grass in the background, enclosed inside the circle.

Swallows are small birds that are extremely agile in flight and spend most of their time in the air, it seemed fitting to draw this one in flight...
