Daily Timeout for Art #28

I went back to my roots for this one. I picked up a pencil and a picture and drew with a simple #2 a picture of a girl. The piece is entitled “Fairy lovely girl” because the girl kind of reminds me of a fantasy drawing of a fairy or a female elf.

I have just started experimenting with colored pencil this year. I have used pastels before and thought the colored pencils would blend in a similar manner to the colored pencils but boy was I wrong. Colored pencils I have found have a temperament all their own but I am having fun learning what I can and can’t do with pencils. In that light today’s drawing entitled “Flowers in Boot” I had started last year but finished for this challenge. Please forgive me for bending the rules just a little.

Today I decided to offer up a simple picture entitled The Butterfly.  The picture is a simple pencil outline filled in with colored pencil. While the piece is very subtle in nature I like the way it turned out.  I have learned over the years that sometimes the less fuss which goes into a piece of art the better the piece turns out.

One of my favorite paintings I’ve ever painted was something like this one, it was a little girl standing on the beach watching her balloon fly off into the sky. This one, entitled A Boy and His Cat, is similar in it’s simplicity. The drawing is on white paper, outlined in pen and lightly colored.

Well here’s another one, a portrait drawing that is meant to resemble the person I am drawing but with bigger eyes. Although this one did not turn out the way I had hoped I still feel like I am making progress. Yeah, determination combined with inspiration.

Daily Art #14

Today’s art is a rough drawing done with a #2 pencil. I tried this picture a number of time but am still not satisfied with the end result. However this blog is not always about the finished product but about learning as I go.  Oh yeah sorry for the name change to Daily Art but I figured since some of the pieces were finished pieces and others weren’t the new name more fit the bill.
