365 Days of Art: Draw something with your non-dominant hand

336. Draw something with your non-dominant hand

This was a quick drawing from my 365 Days of Art challenge list that I did whilst listening to 'I Wanna Be Sunshine' by ElisaBat Muse. The theme was number 336: "Draw something with your non-dominant hand". I'm right-handed for writing/drawing (though I use my left hand for some other things), so this was done with my left hand. It's very basic, but at least I did something!

365 Days of Art: A dream you had

63. A dream you had

The above picture is for challenge number 63 on my 365 Days of Art list; that's "A dream you had".

This was the most recent dream I had before I started this drawing, but I had to decide between this one and another I had last year, in which I was travelling through space inside a mechanical swan and then went to a fair in it and met some Victorian people or the space opera type dream I had. I did also consider some of my recurring dreams, but those always seem to be rather unpleasant and would be difficult to draw, as I usually experience them from more than one person's perspective at once (it's difficult to describe). 

Anyway, this dream was pretty tame compared to the ones I normally have, but the sound was unusual for me, and the way I woke up was different as well. I will say here too that it was all from my point of view, which is also very unusual for me. I've drawn one image for this so far, but I might add another at some point. If I do, I'll add a link back here in a future entry.

So, on with the dream...

365 Days of Art: Incubus

99. Incubus: 'After the Honey'

This is another picture for my 365 Days of Art challenge. It's another one I did a while ago but forgot to post. this time, it's for number 99 - Incubus. The incubus' victim isn't asleep, but regional versions of incubi mythology varies quite considerably. I'm sorry that this isn't a very "nice" picture, but incubi are supposed to be demons, after all (by the way, the person with blonde hair is not a child, I just made the incubus very tall for no reason).

Anyway, I sketched out the lines for this one in a sketchbook first and then coloured it in Photoshop. I like the way the colour scheme turned out, so I might end up using it again some time.

365 Days of Art: Ice

356. Ice

This is a digital painting for my 365 Days of Art challenge; number 356: "Ice". This particular picture does have a specific meaning behind it (to me), but I don't feel like explaining it. So I'll just say: there are only two people in the image, both of whom are alive, and one of them is is only visible as a gloved hand.

365 Days of Art: Hallucinations

362. Hallucinations.

This is a picture I did yesterday, to count towards my list of themes, for my self-imposed 365 Days of Art challenge. The above pen drawing is for number 362: "Hallucinations". 

365 Days of Art: Something sticky and something sweet

363. Something sticky and something sweet.

Another pen drawing for my 365 Days of Art challenge; this time it's for number 363: "Something sticky and something sweet". Again, this was one I did a while ago and forgot to post and it was done mostly in felt tip pens that were lying around.

365 Days of Art: Toys

266. Toys

More of a quick doodle that I did a few months ago (and forgot to post) for this post's 365 Days of Art theme, 266: 'Toys'. Luckily, I was reminded of the picture when I drew a tiny Pierrot in a window of something else was drawing earlier today.

365 Days of Art: Spring

170. Spring

This is another picture for the 365 Days of Art challenge that I set myself and, also, with number 170: 'Spring', it also means I've finished the last of the 'Seasons' set (finally!). Spring is often associated with being the season of fresh, beautiful and young things, but I thought the personification of Spring themself might look a little worn out and somewhat "imperfect", after "giving birth" to all the new life of the year. Their slightly wonky nose and dark-circled eyes were on purpose. and I actually prefer them to be honest!

365 Days of Art: Something Wild

27. Something wild.

This is a digital painting I did as a present for my mother, as her some of her favourite animals are elephants. The elephants featured are Indian elephants, so the flowers featured are all based on flowers of India, though the colours have been varied slightly. After I was done with the picture, I had the piece printed onto a canvas and gave it my mother  - she seemed please with it and it's on her wall now. 

Luckily enough, it also counts towards my 365 Days of Art challenge for number 27: "something wild", so that's another one of those I can cross of a well!

365 Days of Art: A door to somewhere else...

301. A door to somewhere else.

As I haven't written here for a while, I thought I'd resume posting with another drawing towards the 365 Days of Art challenge. This is for theme number 301, "a door to somewhere else", which I drew on paper using fineliners. It probably would have looked better scanned, rather than just photographed, but that isn't what I did. So apologies if some of the details are a little blurred.
