@chrisaakins Yes, I agree with the others. It was very striking when the image popped up for me! So cool!

@TessaW it was so fun and relatively easy for me to do. Now I just need to figure out how I can use this style for illustrations. Any ideas?

Trying to make time to finish some paintings, acrylics on canvas,...and other projects.

Hello, long-time lurker, first time posting! It's really cool to see what everyone is working on... so I thought I'd add mine to the mix. For the last several months I've been mostly just been sketchbooking with ink and copic markers. This last weekend, I decided to experiment with mixed media by adding in some acrylic glazes. I used the colors straight from the tube and I think they are are a little bright, but I plan to experiment more with this process more in August. Been also thinking about playing around with some colored inks and watercolor.

I am thinking a lot about Inktober, but haven't started any real work on it yet. I actually have an Art-cation planned for the first week of September and will be using the time to get a head start on my pencils... and I can't wait!

@Sarah-Simpson This is super fun! Art-cation sounds brilliant.

Though when I saw the question if we're prepping for Inktober I panicked a little because I thought I'd somehow lost a whole month.

@Sarah-Simpson Gorgeous use of colour!

Hi everyone! It's nice to stay connected to all you artists on the forums. I finished this today. This is my holiday card for 2020, both for friends/family and to sell to the retailers that carry my greeting cards. "Gingerbird House"

@jsnzart wow. Very nice.

burvantill

@ina LOL. I only asked because I had something elaborate planned last year and I regretted not starting my prep work early.

Amanda Bancroft

@jsnzart have you ever tried to use Pan pastels (powder pastel pure pigment inside clear pans)? These paintings remind me of that medium and it's great for not using line work also. Fun!

jsnzart

@burvantill Thank you.

jsnzart

@Amanda-Bancroft Not sure. I have used different kinds of pastels. I haven't painted much at all really. Love oil paints, and pastels. But there's something about acrylics that I enjoy, and the challenge is great fun.

@Sarah-Simpson Wow, this is just beautiful! Love the experimentation. Turned out amazing.

Working on a million things always at once and lacking direction as usual! Ha. But one thing I've been doing is working through the character design course that @AnnaDaviscourt did. It's so fun! Here's a character I made for a graphic novel I hope to get the confidence to start on!

@dafoota
nice work
was it a conscious design decision to change where the claws come out?
