Ink Art: Soul of a Blue Morpho and Peacock Butterfly
Today, I wanted to show you my latest ink art paintings. I got into painting butterflies again. This time I am using ink instead of watercolor. Ink paintings are a bit difficult to manage, but I am learning. Ink artist tend to lean more towards abstraction. With a bit of practice, I am getting into making more defined forms. Like before, I photographed the dry and wet versions of the painting. I also photographed a couple of painting details. The first painting I made was the soul of a blue morpho. I was originally trying to make an...
Self Portrait Watercolor: Richard Hamilton and Walasse Ting Style
Today, I wanted to show you my two new self-portraits. Technically, they are eight self-portraits. I did another four sets of paintings, in the style of one artist. I chose these two painters due to their unique styles. I thought that it would make some interesting portraits. This painting series has been quite amusing. I am always challenging myself with a new art style. I try not to repeat myself. I am going to talk first about Richard Hamilton. His self-portrait where 4 photos with some paint slammed over the face. It seemed like something easy that I could...
Hollow Knight Pulp Fiction Fanart
Today, I did a new Hollow Knight fanart. It is a parody of the Pulp Fiction movie poster. Instead of Pulp Fiction, I called it Bug Fiction. I was between using Emilitia or Hornet for this cover. I ended up settling for Emilitia. She is a bit of a troll. She seems like the type of woman that would playfully torment the underlings of her rich, gangster husband. Once I chose the character, all that was left was to make the drawing. Despite looking simple, it was pretty difficult to execute. There is a lot of foreshortening in...
Ink Art: Purple Heart and Green Heart Paintings
Today, I wanted to show you my latest ink art paintings. I was trying to do basic abstract shapes. So, I chose to make heart paintings of all the colors of the rainbow. I am exaggerating a bit. I mostly did primary and secondary colors. The painting was done with Pixiss ink and paper. I especially like the paper. It is just perfect for these types of ink arts. I have enough paper to make 100 ink art paintings. So, you can expect to see more of these types of artworks in the near future. In both paintings,...
Hollow Knight Beetlejuice Fanart
Today, I did a new Hollow Knight fanart. In the spirit of Halloween, I decided to do a Beetlejuice spoof. I cannot write that name a third time. So, I have to be careful. This movie is one of my favorites. I rewatch it whenever it is on. If you asked me what was the name of the couple, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. The only name I remember is the one of the titular character. Then again, he is the only interesting person in the movie. To play this character, I chose the Collector. I fancy...
