Steel Blue

Not quite done yet, but getting there.
Finished! Outlined in black pen, added some darker shadows, painted the eye, inside of the wing, and chest/belly scales silver with acrylic silver paint, then shaded slightly using a silver sharpie.
Same drawing without the flash.

Weird Flowers

This is actually semi-copied from a picture that came up when I typed in "cool flower tattoo". But I did change a few things with the shading, the little vine wrapping around the big flower, and I added the colors.

If you're like me, you love drawing but you just don't find yourself motivated to do it most of the time. Music really helps inspire me to draw, so I thought I'd make a list of some of the songs that I love to listen to while I draw. Hopefully they're helpful to someone out there!

Pen Practice

Just some random work on shading with pen. No it's not a real person and yes I know the eyes are way too close together haha.

Eye

Pen. Just practicing the reflections in eyes and eyelashes.

Horse Detail Steps

Click for larger image.
Step 1: I lightly drew the outline of the horse and some areas that will be shaded, just to get the basic shape down.

Step 2: I started shading the head, just based on where the shadows are in the reference photo.

Step 3: I started to fill in some of the outside edges.



More shading...starting on the background a tiny bit to get a feel of where things should go.











And then just basically rushed the end haha. I just wanted it to be done! Pen is such a pain! I might
make a background later, but for now it's done.
