Drawing Practice ✏️

[Jade]

Thanks Wayne. I enjoy doing these. nadyart did a draw along so I saw that she shades for a while .. I'm not naturally patient but am seeing you have to take time to build the layers.. it's also quite meditative.

I've been digging around the internet today as I'm beginning to realise what kind of art I like and like making so collated a few for my memory and anyone interested...

MonoKubo

Love these though the art in my head is tiny animals in their own tiny world rather than huge animals but I really like the twist of tiny humans...

Rosie Dore

Beautiful and cosy..

Hannah Spiegelman

I like the more modern twist in this rather than too "twee"

Pascal Dilger

Whimsical and in nature.. I like the animals in little outfits

Molly Brett

These are the kinds of little worlds I imagine though a bit more traditional than i like..

And saving my favourite for last, Nadya Bonten-Slenders.. the closest to my imagination.. cute, modern, cosy.. makes the introvert in me very happy.

All of your work on learning to draw features will come in handy when you do your own animals. They have expressions too!

Yes! I agree. I'm seeing that shading, expressions, depth add to these too. I'm enjoying toggling between animals and human faces to keep developing that skill too hopefully.

Not to overwhelm you but yes, Donna is ever so correct and it will get real interesting when you learn to transpose for lack of a better way to explain it. The one you favor is kid cute and we all have an inner child.

Absolutely. I want to learn form, shading etc and faces for their own sake but it will hopefully cross over too. Yeh, it is cute.. glad you like it. I often imagine animals in little outfits, living their lives like humans (but probably smarter! ). My crochet is similar. I think the last few years has taught me about healing and letting my inner child have some fun! I'm learning that it's important however old we are.
