The Portrait of François Hollande

I'm finally finishing the portrait of the former President of France François Hollande. In the background, I also wrote his catchphrase "Gnie Heee" from French puppet TV show "Les Guignols" behind him and made it a centre with colourful stars and sparkles on top of it and some red and blue thin circles in it.

Artistic Representation of a Recent Personal Tragedy

day two of clawing my way out of artblock

tried something a little more ambitious today: i've been thinking of how i can bring my digital art style into my traditional art. so i tried experimenting by drawing chef Moon from my Have You Eaten? AU with markers and colour pencils (because honestly, it's the lineless details in their design that make them harder to draw traditionally, which is why i lined them all with a fineliner in their original drawing, which is fine, but it's a different feel from lineless version of my digital art, so i wanted to see if i can accomplish it)

i was tempted to just leave today's practice at that, but then i decided to note down my thoughts:

(definitely recommend marking up your drawings/studies, or write your notes elsewhere.)

overall i felt kinda dissatisfied with the experiment and marking it up with my thoughts helped pinpoint the problem areas and what i should try for the next time. so i took all that and tried again:

(i also decided last minute to try something with the lineart, adding darker areas by adding a few dots of a darker blue and blending it out. dunno if i'll do that all the time, but it's pretty)

but i'm glad i kept going after the initial experiment. i'm pretty happy with the final one (maybe i'll try Sun and Eclipse in the coming days. you have been thoroughly warned.)

I use tumblr for 1 purpose: nevermoor

Yet I've never posted my own nevermoor drawings or anything on here myself. I really want to do that sooo I'm gonna do just that.

I've been posting my nevermoor stuff on Instagram for the past 2 years, so you might recognize me from there.

Anyway, here is my Morrigan/mogtober drawing:

[ID: watercolour of morrigan crow standing, holding her brolly. End ID]

*thank you, @nevermoor-described. I'll try to add ID's myself next time!*

⭐️New⭐️

This little wren is reaching for the sky to sing loud to you 'Choose me! Choose me!' he sings. Cheeky little tyke. I was experimenting with an abstracted shape background here, instead of a traditional sky, what do you think? This new drawing has now been added to my Etsy shop…

World Politicians Coloured Sketch 1

Top: Coloured sketch of Mark Rutte, Javier Milei, Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron - 12th July 2024

I made the first coloured sketch of four world politicians. The lavender rectangle is Rutte and Milei kissing. A sky blue square is Le Pen in her blue coat and white blouse and the cerulean blue rectangle is Macron with his smiling teeth and winking eye.
