Personal Piece - Safe - Drawings

[Nargles]

I woke up in a random creative mood today so I've decided to start a new sketch book :D This is my first picture...


I'm not too good at drawing fur at the moment :| But it kept me amused for a while :)

[Charmed]

Wow that is really good! I love how you have capture the eyes. And the fur is great! Would love to see more :)

[Rynn]

Fur is hard! You did well. I love the eyes, ear, and that cute little nose! You draw like you have a kitty. :)

[Nargles]

Thank you both :) And yes, I do have a kitty :D

[crazykat]

Wow I love it

[Nargles]

Some more pics... a bird and a flower :) The flower was my first ever attempt at using oil paints - I was brave enough to use something other than pencil for once! I'm quite pleased with how it turned out though, apart from the spazzy leaf :D

[pixiedust_11]

Wow, these are amazing. I love them, you're very talented :)

[Sketchy]

Keep drawing and I hope you try more painting, because you clearly have a talent and passion for it.

[Abintra]

a lot of potential i recommend getting yourself a soft 3cm paint brush and gently brushing it over the fur it will give it a light smudge but you will find it will bring the fur out and give it my dimension and depth, try it on something else first for a while until you get the hang of it.

[Louise]

wow you are really talented.

[Nargles]

Thank you:)



I saw a picture like this online so decided to try and do one myself :D

[Keyboard Warrior]

you're really talented, these are awesome!

some constructive crit. on the last one: you've done the shading & shadows awesomely on the hand, you could really bring it to life by doing the same with the rose. think of where the light would be falling & add some darker tones. for instance, the base of the rose head on the stem could be a slightly darker pink right down at the bottom?

i really like them, you've got a cool kinda graphic-y style going on. art's such a great form of distraction & expression. keep going :D x

[Nargles]

Thank you all :) I do find drawing to be a good distraction more than anything. And thank you for the advice, I might try that when I get some new colouring pencils. The ones I was using are only cheapy kid's ones so were a bit rubbish for shading properly.

What about oil pastels? You can get some intense contrasting colours with them. I think "the works" sell them quite cheep. Looking forward to seeing more.

I do have some oil pastels here, I just completely fail at using them! I tend to be boring and stick to the safety of my pencils :D I may have a go with them again though when I'm feeling brave.

I decided to draw my gorgeous little niece today.





I have a new found fascination with sequins and ribbons and other little bits and bobs :)
