9 more and this drill is over!!! Not sure what I'll do after that yet xD
But I _thiiiink_ Rid is staaaaaarting to become more consistent.... Somehow. In some of them xD

#artjourney
Pushing more with expressions and angles and consistency! It's mental... But so pleasurable :3
#antumbra #oc #traditionalart #originalcharacter #pencil #study #sketchbook #mastoart #art #artjourney
And the grinding continues.... Now at least I know _exactly_ how to draw Rid. And working on NULL too (I didn't realize how off I was from what I had in mind). But consistency is a bitch really...

Two birds with one stone:
in trying to get consistency with Rid's face and characteristics I end up actually doing very nice and sorta thorough studies on faces/portraits! 70 more heads of Rid remain :D
Soon I'll know his face better than mine xD

Abstract Emporium began on a rainy afternoon with tea and way too many tangled ideas. Art, knitting, and coloring weren’t hobbies—they were lifelines. Over time, they turned into stories I could share, and those stories built this space. The full piece (and others like it) lives on abstractemporium.art.
🎨 Oh wow, someone actually took the time to explore the thrilling world of #sRGB profiles! 🖼️ Get ready for a riveting journey through 15 variants of the original matrix profile, because apparently, #color #management isn't confusing enough already. 😂 Spoiler: it's just as exciting as it sounds!

Day 1 of my anime colouring 🎨
I learned:
• cardboard needs drying time
• marker bleed is real
• Quaxly’s eyes are smaller than expected
I don’t have white markers either, so I had to improvise a Plan B. But the main goal was spending time away from my PC, and that part was a success.
Practice makes progress
Inspo: Pokémon
Character: Quaxly

Being #figuary I decided to take 30 minutes today and try out some figure drawing. Turns out worse and better than I expected... 30 seconds are too little to even understand what's happening.

The Jar (Hu) embodies the symphony of nature's rhythms, with its sweeping scrolls and vibrant patterns reflecting ancient artistry. Its design speaks of rituals, while the dragon whispers tales of energy and change. What stories do you think this vessel holds?

My last year in (mostly) artworks.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement to follow my call in illustration. It was a really exciting and fruitful year with lots of progress and getting closer to my own way. 🤗

Based on the previous (above) image I decided to go along with which shapes feel best for me to work with for heads... Turns out something between box and sphere and a cylinder (or box).

And the grinding continues! No way to actually figure out portraits without values... And to get values you need planes... And to get planes you need shapes... and to get good shapes you need to figure out circles and spheres and skulls...

My mobile studio comes with me everywhere — and each piece begins exactly like this: shaped by landscape, movement, and touch. This session happened in Sedona, Arizona while on a hike.
Follow for more sculpting sessions in wild places.

And when one doesn't have access to pencils and tools to do improve fundamentals and basic drawing skills, brush pen and line technique takes place... I have no idea if that even makes any sense if it's not done at the same pace every day though :thinking_rotate:

HOW CAN EGGS BE SO HARD TO DRAW REALISTICALLY AND RENDER??????!!!!!!!
But how can we draw anything if we don't enjoy drawing an egg every now and then? :P

And that's it! I'm only taking it up to 2017 which was the launch of my first ever Kickstarter. You can see my work here on my website: buff.ly/nJisAbT Or join my membership here, which is no longer on Patreon! buff.ly/SPXwA8C #artjourney #fantasyart #watercolour #membership #fantasy
Towards the end of 2016 & early 2017 I had set myself a task that would help with consistency. The task was to paint the inhabitants of a vast enchanted forest. This would become Strangehollow! This task transformed how I worked. #artjourney #watercolour MORE IN ALT

This takes us up to 2014-2015 when I started to return to traditional media. I never really stopped using pencil, but it was the first one I returned to before settling on watercolour. #artjourney #pencil #drawing #portrait

More digital art to share before we get to my return to traditional art in 2015... #artjourney #digitalart #slaine #boudicca #siren #ophelia
I also did some cover work - I wasn't able to get enough work as my style was so scattered, took me a long time to grasp consistency! One for a Jane Austen game called jane austen's matchmaker, and one here of a sci fi cover for my friend Iain Gibson. #artjourney #bookcover #gameart
During this time I did a few master studies too. Here are some of them #artjourney #masterstudy #digitalart
More Caricatures from around 2012! #artjourney #digitalart #caricature #portraiture
In 2012 I did a Schoolism course with Jason Seiler on Caricature. I LOVED it. Here are some faves! #artjourney #digitalart #caricature #portraiture
At the same time I was playing with oil painting. Here are a few! #artjourney #oilpainting #artist #equineart #portraiture
In 2004 I started to try out digital painting. Starting with using a mouse! I don't have those saved sadly. I then moved to a wacom tablet. My fave from back then is still this werewolf from 2005. #artjourney #digitalart #painting #werewolf
This was a period of time where I was doing pet portraits for people I have lost most of the photos of them. These were all in pastels. I didn't really enjoy it that much and did not have a remotely businesslike mindset around it, I didn't understand marketing etc. #artjourney #pastels
Managed to find a couple I did around the time I was at college (1995 for a year). I did an art foundation course but it put me off going on to do future education in the traditional sense. I was drawing a tree in the nearby cemetery to the college and then added the creature below! #artjourney
I don't have any art now saved until a couple of photos from my GCSE art exam. As you can see my style was ALL OVER THE PLACE. I didn't understand the purpose of planning paintings, or anything like that. I just painted what I wanted to. All this GCSE art was between 14-16 yrs old #artjourney
I grew up being read fairytales and absolutely LOVED them. I was also obsessed with the natural world (and horses, and dragons!). I did a blog post about my influences: buff.ly/qpLVezT #artjourney
A little (LONG!) time-machine post for you guys! Sharing some old work with you so you can see a little bit of my artistic journey. I don't have any of the really old stuff unfortunately, but this pic shows I was mucking about with pencils nice and early! I was born in 1976 #artjourney
And now comes another study! After a looooooong time my brain can function again XD
So here is my very first ever value study (from a video in which I follow along, but still it's a thing I'm quite happy about!)

After maybe more than a month I finally got some time and mental space to draw something!!
Needing some copic markers for a competition I ended up buying a new sketchbook (smaller for travels to always carry with me on my backpack), went for a stroll at a nearby park in a VERY hot day for me and to struggle I ended up sitting in a wooden bench, bellow a tree drawing! :D Felt good!
Nice to be back and to share something ^^ (I miss my manga making days so much :( )

Back to the basics and tried yet another profile, based on knowledge gathered so far.
Done with with Fude #fountainpen

The serene beauty of Gakuō's "Chinese Servant Walking in the Rain" invites introspection. The minimalist landscape speaks volumes through its delicate brushwork and atmospheric depth. What journey do you envision for the figure beneath the umbrella?

So today I finally went ahead and printed the damn thing. Cut it up a bit, and stapled it myself :P Turns out that printed has a completely different feeling! #Antumbra chapter 0 has finally been officially released as it is intended! Enjoy and listen as the pages turn! <3
Already working on the next one 🤫
Share (:boost:) and enjoy (☺️) !
(If anyone is interested or knows anyone interested to grab a copy drop me a DM)

Experience the serene beauty of "Figuur op een open plek in het bos" by Jan Van de Kerkhove. The interplay of light and shadow invites reflection on nature and solitude. What emotions does this artwork evoke for you?

Instead of making notes, I decided to draw the portrait on my #sketchbook instead. Took me quite some timem but apart from a lightly bigger top of the head, I'm pretty happy with the result! Next step values and facial hair, while I _might_ try out some inking as well!
#artjourney #mastoart #pencil #wip #study #portrait #drawing
Next part in the art log of N Toyohito is a tryout to figure out how the human face actually works... Got a pictures from I don't even remember where, printed it and I tried to get it broken down in shapes and lines and proportions. Kept some notes with horrible handwritting too ^^
Next steps:
*Make a more drawing-oriented study of face on my sketchbook
*Make this dude's portrait on my sketchbook and see how close I'll get.
The deed is done! The automatic drawing is finished. Added some values, tried to add some depth and all in all I hope it's disturbing and dark. I might not be ready for comics/manga yet, but at least I'm starting to draw again! The journey continues! :D
Done with: Sailor Fude de Mannen (40), sailor black ink and DeAtramentis Document Black.
Media marked sensitive because it depicts way too many things that are weird and uncomfortable Giger-style.

Emerging out of my own personal cave to share the first drawing I did for some time. It's not yet finished, but will be soon.
First image is the original concept that was done on an airplane trip during summer, while on the airplane. Second image is my re-interpretation of this airplane drawing. It basically served as a test to see start drawing again after 1 month or so, because I thought my skills would have forgotten me...
I realized that being able to draw again is a sign that life has settle and brain and cope with it.
(Images sensitive due to possibly horror-inducing elements. H.R.Giger is a hint)
Done with: Sailor Fude de Mannen (40) and sailor black ink.

Yesterday I went to the olive mill to get some oil out of our olives. While there I saw the design and industrial setup and sparked my "artistic" interest since I had to wait for 30-40 mins. It does have some nice sci-fi feeling and would look great for a cyberpunk story :)
Done on plain print paper with ballpoint BIC pen :P
I tried to take a step back and re-think the portrait. Re-do it back with 0 style effort and just go "fine arts" and do it as I see it with pencil.
Turns out I had, eyes and proportions way wrong. I could also not depict values well. I still have issues with the eyes. It's incredible how different eyes means a different person! :O :O
Edit: if anyone can think of a way to improve upon the way to depict the eyes please to share!

After a looooong time (nearly a month) I managed to find the time and courage and energy to start a sort of study. I picked an image from the interwebs (source: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/315533517645390080/) and tried to replicate it BUT by using reference from a manga whose style is god tier (and probably bad reference since I'm not sure I can understand what Inoue actually sees and knows to do the lines he does, but doesn't hurt to try learning from the gods). I still can't possible understand how I could approach to specific parts of the face, but for a first try it's not bad enough I think... (The more I look at it, the worse it becomes though)
Used Sailor Ink Fude 45 #fountainpen and provided sailor black ink cartridge.

Something different today. A study but not a study... Certainly more drawing so that's always a good thing! :happey:
While sitting drinking a hot chocolate at the wonderful garden of a museum, I decided to go into real life drawing and this is the result. Learned a lot of things by doing it, on composition, values, horizon, depth... But most of all it was 1h of pure fun!
