Zombies

Older sketches from ~a month ago :)

Boyfriend playing "Walking dead" game = chill zombie drawin' time.
I mostly approached these as sorta anatomy sketches which makes it super fun

Frog guy - it was a figure study gone completely experimental with filters, effects and whatnot!
Was curious on how to achieve the night vision effect. :)

In light of a hurricane recently invading Europe... it's nice to try out some new techniques while painting an obviously warm climate rocky place. Totally used this lovely photo ref.

What sucks is that I'm completely stuck in a very nonproductive rut :( I miss the time when I was surrounded by art folk! It's really hard not having that :(

Queen of Spades

 

Queen of Hearts

I've been reading on color theory lately and decided to study how it's going to be with a steady, pre-determined palette thanks to gamut masking method on a yurmby wheel. Before this, whenever I drew digital I just dabbed whatever seemed to fit, having indeed made a very primitive color thumbnail but leaving my "color planning" at that... Nevermore! The wheel rules. It was a very good exercise and I'm excited to use it in the future, whether using digital or traditional mediums.

Since it was just a small study I didn't really come up with anything too creative as a subject so I decided to go with my rendition of "Alice in the Wonderland" Queen of Hearts, hence white roses painted ruby red and a vague heart shape out of the rosy collar.

As a loose reference for the face I used a sketch of Johan Tobias Sergel's "Queen Sofia Magdalena" I did at a museum in Stockholm a few months ago.
I am also guilty of using two stock splatter blobs. I am so guilty that I can't even link the source because I just took what google gave me.
 
I really enjoyed making this drawing and as I mentioned earlier, I'm excited to use this method in my future works!

Note to self: buy roses and learn to draw/paint those little fuckers.
