It's a long time since I've posted anything here on the forum. Now, for a change, I'm working on a personal project for the Bologna Book Fair competition 2019. This time I want to enter the non-fiction category, with a project about trash pollution. So here are the first sketches :-))

I’ll join in. I’ve been trying to teach myself watercolor this summer and having produced some mediocre landscapes, I thought I’d try some birds. I took a bunch of photos of some common mergansers on Lake Ontario, and drew rough studies of them, brought them into Procreate, and have begun to arrange them. This is very preliminary but I really enjoyed drawing them. (The skelton under the clip is from my other project, a Childen’s book for my niece starring a donkey. Nothing to do with ducks.)

@smceccarelli I love the hermit crabs. I had some years ago and you captured them so well in these drawings.

@burvantill hi! Keep up the good work! Keep on practicing. You’re improving.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@smceccarelli looking good, Simona! As always your work is amazing! This reminds me of that book cover for that environmantal project of yours. I love it!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@demotlj you birds are looking great! I like their texture. If you chose to color ithese in photoshop, its sketchiness with definitely add character to it.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@burvantill i totally agree. I’m saving for a wacom but until that happens, Procreate is my go-to.

@nyrrylcadiz I’m trying to decide how to finish them without losing that liveliness, always a problem for me.

Accomplished Networking today. It wasn't as scary as i thought it would be. LOL. @kaitlinmakes and I met up at the zoo and drew some cute animals. We are going to meet up again in a month to practice plein air.

Here is another portrait and a project that I did with my students. We painted the background first as an abstract watercolor. Then we had to draw using exaggerated 3 point perspective a fantasy building with a fantastical beast using color pencils. Last we will scan and print them and ink them. So. Freaking. Fun.
Hope you like them.

@chrisaakins So many layers. Too cool

Great idea for a thread, love your watercolors!!! My son started Pre K so I have more studio time as of this month. I am working on 5 sketches with the theme persistence, following a young dancer, this is a value sketch for one of the 5 called "The Fall" Great work everyone!

I’ve been working on this one off and on for several months, I think its about done. The subjects are me and one of my good friends from art school (in animal form) in a coffee shop (our fav place to hang out).

I just finished this one up and plan on adding it to my portfolio.
