So, I'm back!

1 min read
Hey all,

It's been ages since I was last active - I was so busy last year with getting a Diploma in music performance, and various performances and auditions and whatnot.

This year I'm having a gap year - so I will have more time for art and whatnot!

My sister recently got a new tablet, so I asked for her old one (which she gave me). Digital art will now be another medium I will delve into! Another one will be traditional painting - probably mainly with watercolour paints.

Of course, I also still want to work with pencils, just digital art will probably become more popular with me because a) I find it easier to add highlights and shadows, and b) I can just pull out the tablet while sitting at the computer, without having to organize pencils and paper. So it would be generally easier to just draw on the computer, but I will still try to keep up with my traditional art!

So yes, I am back, and will hopefully stay active for longer this time!

Hey guys,

I know it's been ages since I last posted, and it's been so long since I've drawn something. My last drawing was over a year ago, so it felt slightly strange picking up my pencils again.

I haven't been lazy, though! I completed a certificate in Music performance, and I'm studying for a diploma. My improvisation skills on the clarinet and saxophone are slowly, but steadily, increasing, which I'm very pleased with. I've also been working on a couple of songs (classical/orchestral), which will hopefully be completed sometime next term.

In the past few weeks, I've completed four drawings: two self-portraits and two pictures of babies. I've only uploaded one baby picture, because I have failed to acquire permission from the owner of the other photo to upload it. I did ask, but I never received a response, ah well.

I was surprised as to how easily drawing has come back to me, and at the improvements that I'm making, even though I haven't drawn anything seriously in so long. I guess it's all just settled in the past two years, and I've observed other drawings, and unconsciously taken notes as to how to improve mine.

Anyway, I'll be off now!
Have a lovely day!

Sorry for the lack of activity on DeviantART! I've been quite busy with my studies and music!

I haven't drawn a picture in sooooo long! So it was with great happiness that I have begun to draw a picture of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe). I've been working on it for around 2 - 3 hours now, and I think I'm fairly happy with how the face has turned out. I'm going to leave it for now, though, I don't want to over-work on it and ruin it.

But yeah, I reckon I'm around 1/5 done.. maybe 1/4, but you know, it'll take me a while to finish it.

The shading technique I'm using is blending the shading with tissues. I haven't really done this sort of technique very much before, because I have sort of been using circulism mainly. But I decided 'heck, why not?' so I'm giving it a shot.

I'm using my Derwent Graphic artist pencils to draw this picture.

Anyway, no I'm not dead, and yes, expect a picture within the next few weeks or so!
Adios, amigos, and keep smiling!
