My name is Maya. I'm 28. I enjoy drawing from time to time.
Here’s that picture I’ve been working on for the past few days. Like I said a few posts back about sketchiness, I’ve decided that if it “feels right” to leave parts sketchy, I’m just gonna go with it. Why not, right?
Unfinished pic thought process example 1:
Looking through old pics of mine, I realized that ages ago I had really fallen in love with digital painting. I used to do a ton of different color studies or whatever of faces and stuff like that to see how shadows worked and to play with color and light. I dunno what happened but I fell into an abyss for a while and just forgot about it.
So the other day I decided to pick up the digital painting thing again and try again and see how long it takes me to get back to where I was, or hey maybe see if I’ve improved.
Exercise began, and I found it to be a lot of fun. I like to play with strange colors and see what happens. Only problem is I got a little stuck on the hair/general negative space in this pic. A bit stumped. But when I started this blog I decided I’d power through stuff, and even if something is unfinished or even scrapped, I’ll post it anyway. This narrowly escaped scraps a few times. Tonight I found how the hair should go during a goof off moment, and I’m very happy. Here’s a picture that describes that moment.
Part 5 of the palette challenge complete.
This one was chosen by another friend outside of tumblrland.
Sometimes I feel that something loses its life when I clean it up. This is probably because my linework skill sucks. This drawing is one of those. I think I may post more “dirty” stuff later, outside of this challenge. Anyway, I left this with sketchiness intact…and I love how it turned out. I have a bit of a soft spot for falling, floating, and drifting in the sky and down out of the sky.
I drew this for one of my cousins. I found this to be very relaxing to work on. :) She wanted something blending together thorns and flowers with the symbol for infinity. I hope she liked it.
Part 3 of the palette challenge!
This palette was chosen by a friend of mine who isn’t on tumblr. :P
Part 1 of the palette challenge I’ve been doing. The challenge is taking a palette and trying to make something with it using only the colors included within the palette itself. I’ve been using colors chosen by friends and family from the website colourlovers.com
This palette was chosen by my mom.
