Older flight rising sketches 🐉

[artbyeloquent]

I saw a lil comic in my archive about not deleting old art, or you won't be able to see how far you've come. I decided to take it a step further and make myself a lil timeline of all the art I've posted on this blog!

ID below the cut.

[ID: A timeline of my art from 2020, with deep purple headers and dark green text on an off-white/sage background.

Title: Eloquent's Improvement Series: 2020 Timeline

May 2020: One of my first paintings of which I remember thoroughly enjoying its process. Even though my style has changed and my grasp on anatomy has improved, the rendering holds up. I'm proud of younger me for this.

The art is of a tan, freckled witch with a golden palette floating in a swirl of golden light. She's wearing a floral sundress and golden platform heels. She's holding onto her sunhat to prevent it from flying off. She is contrasted by a dark navy background.

July 2020: An ArtFight attack. ArtFight always pushes me to innovate in as little time as possible, but it often leaves me feeling that melancholy of "the execution does not match what was in my head." I never draw the left (my OC) in MY [capitalized emphasis] style, always her original designer's, and I'd love to challenge myself to adapt her sometime.

The image is of two pastel goth, white women posing against a chainlink fence. They are blowing bubblegum. Both of their palettes are mainly pink, blue, and black. The first girl is wearing a black halter crop top, pastel miniskirt, mesh leggings, and black combat boots. Her hair is shaved close with only the front bangs fluffy. The second girl has long, blue hair up in a ponytail held back with a baseball cap. Her clothes are baseball uniform-inspired, with a bisected black-pink track jacket, white baseball pants, and black-and-white baseball cleats.

September 2020: Wow I really didn't draw much in 2020. Y'know [gestures at the state of the world and also my life]. But I also had a crippling fear of posting anything that isn't perfectly [sparkles] polished [sparkles], so I'm proud of Past Me for posting it anyway.

The sketch is a monochrome red piece with a flat background. In the foreground, a pointy-eared monster smiles at the viewer, leaning against a railing. He has veins and crystals of garnet sprouting from his eye, neck, and shoulders.

Unnatural Landscape series by Palestinian artist Khaled Hourani, 2020

“I did a series of small works, a project called “Unnatural Landscape.” [...] It started as a project about the landscape and the wall, and how this construction, this ugly concrete, [...] tries to cut, separate, and destroy the scene. What kind of effects does this wall have on the landscape, especially from a distance? I can see, when close to the wall, what kind of damage and social side-effects the wall has between the farmer and his land, the family and their relatives, between a city and a village. But also, from a distant view, for the one who wants to hike only, the landscape has a different meaning. We live in a high area here in Ramallah; when you look toward the sea, you can see different layers of mountains, but there is no empty landscape without settlement, without the wall.” – Khaled Hourani in an interview with Lela Vujanić
