grass method 1

Here is the results after several attempts using method 1 for drawing grass. I think I am getting the idea of doing the up and down strokes and the purpose of each. I have a vague idea of creating positive grass with negative strokes, but not to the point where I am making it happen. I don't think m...

Re: Neurographic Art

Scribblegrams involved one student scribbling with chalk on the board. And then the rest of us attempted to make visual sense of it. The variety of recognisable objects that appeared was really surprising. I too would guess it is a similar type thinking. I don't remember doing it in school, but a c...

Re: Hidden Heart

The delicate feathers on the owl's heart shaped face are fantastic! Also the toenails, a detail which, I think can be challenging to get right are well formed and detailed. If I were to criticize anything, and it might just be me, but the detail on the branch is so well done it almost overwhelms the...

Re: More procreate

Thanks for sharing Laurene. I work with Adobe Illustrator quite a bit and I've had a quick look at Procreate but I haven't tried it. Do you feel there is a steep learning curve in the beginning or does it seem rather intuitive? Your results are great. I especially like the facial expression on your ...

Re: Critique: HORSE HAIR

Video lessons. What a great addition!! It is interesting hearing you "talk to yourself" as a tool to help with your process. It is really helpful to see that the way you work really isn't so different than the way I work. Much better results than mine, but it is encouraging to realize the ...

Neurographic Art

I used this picture as a background for a card given to a fellow artist. She had foot surgery, hence the included foot detail 😊. For those who don’t know, this style of art is called Neurographic art. It is the brain child of the Russian Pavel Pikarev, year 2014. He created it as a way to work with ...

Re: Owl Eye help

Thanks for the insight! I knew it wasn’t right, but was unsure how to fix it. I’m going to see if I can copy your reply so I can print it- allowing me time to think this through. (It didn’t help that it wasn’t until AFTER I drew this I realized, unlike other birds…owl eyes are on the front of their ...
