Our final #pleinAirpril for 2026 is a rather striking composition shot by @snehasisnama at the Don Mueang airport.

[ It's a really tall image; please do a full-view ]

Botched most of the fun details this time. I'm blaming being a "whole" week out of practice, and trying to draw the hyper-compresed Discord embed instead of the full image like a boomer! :D

Obligatory timelapse:

Wish I'd added more green to the mold on the wall, or just more color variation in general...

Tonight's virtual #pleinAirpril is a photo taken by @snehasisnama of an aging but charming old house on a Kolkata street.

...Closest we're getting to a real plein-air sketch, I suppose!

Obligatory timelapse. Managed to record one this time—

Third virtual #pleinAirpril is, I think, Moo Deng!

I wasn't planning on adding much detail to the water from the start, and that helped a lot with maintaining energy levels. I still kinda feel like I should've, though, the water looks too plain...

Finally broke out my pet favorite hatchwork brush, too!

My 2nd #pleinairpril2026 , it's a photostudy from: https://lemmy.world/post/45104255
I have done it on our #LiveYetVirtual stream on Youtube.

Second photostudy for #pleinAirpril was Milou the dachshund, from: https://lemmy.world/post/45104255

Managed to not get overwhelmed by the grass and fur strands this time! Adorable doggo solves all problems!

...Good thing I'm too lazy to try to draw a live dog IRL!

Obligatory timelapse of me floundering— 🎣

#art #MastoArt #FediArt #illustration #timelapse #LiveYetVirtual #Krita #photoStudy

I had such high hopes for our first #pleinAirpril going in. Instantly got overwhelmed with detail, and gave up on how I was planning to tackle them. Even kept the undersketch, then rushed to the end.

Can't help but feel I didn't use to give in this easily a few years ago, especially after reposting a lot of them recently...

Also reuploading my 2021 #PleinAirpril's to free them from Twitter's deathgrip.

These were my first ever Heavypaint paintings and it was quite unstable on my system back then. What little I had to note of the pieces now in the alt-text...

So I'll just be batching together the pieces in groups of three!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Scio/108230658025620700

Retooting my favorite year of #pleinAirpril pieces, where I had painted birds I had seen from a beach vacation.

This is the timelapse of all nine pieces. Please see the thread for the individual studies, as I have just reuploaded the individual pieces to Mastodon since earlier they were only links to Twitter, make just before...you know what happened.

[ 2022 #PleinAirpril, 9/9 ]

# Drongoes Behind the Glass, WHERE THEY BELONG!

The hotel also had two towers which were closed off from access for some reason. Found these black drongoes playing around the spiral staircase!

Common birds, but cute!

# Hoopoe isn't a Pokémon!, The Greener Grass, and Other Stories

Two eurasian hoopoes (what a name) were walking on the hotel lawn while we were having lunch one day. I actually managed to take this photo clear enough to see the birds!

Boy was that lawn green IRL!

(My favorite of the pieces from that year)

# Intermediate Egrets, and the Immediately Regretful Shading—

The place we were visiting is known for its egret population. But I was more surprised just how many of them actually just grazed (they're not supposed to do that) just inside the hotel!

Also, intermediate egret is just a great name for a bird :D

# The Sand Plover Nightmare

I tried to paint fishing nets on the beach, and regretted EVERYTHING.

(Back then I even felt like I managed to make the cute little sand plovers ugly... But four years later, I disagree vehemently!)

# Big Fishing-boats and Smol Kingfisher

We had visited one of the fishing docks. There wasn't much activity at that time of the year, but there were some cool looking Bangladeshi boats moored, and there was a lovely strikingly blue common kingfisher around.

(I had now given up on the style entirely)

# Windmillin' Doves

The state pretended to care about renewable energy a few years ago and setup a few windmills around the island. They were all non-functional even four years ago when I visited, never maintained.

There were also these spotted doves courting on a thatched roof nearby.

# The Morning Mynah and the Shuttered Shops!

This time, an unassuming common myna I kept seeing by himself around the beach stalls. (I felt like I was already hitting my limits with this style...)

# Seagulls and the Beach Sign

I had decided to try my hand at drawing some of the birds I saw around Bakkhali. The locations are real photos, but the birds are referenced from other photos because I didn't have any zoom lenses :)

First up, seagulls on the big sign on the beach!

#art #MastoArt #FediArt #illustration #LiveYetVirtual #Krita #pleinAirpril #photoStudy #birding

Better late than never, eh...?

This one was drawn remotely with considerable latency and no pen-pressure on my new "homelab" that I have supposedly been building since 2020.

...Then colored locally because my wrist started complaining.

Timelapse recording, and the inevitable ham-fisted spookification near the end.

#art #MastoArt #timelapse #illustration #landscape #photostudy #LiveYetVirtual #Krita

@titanraj wanted us to draw a spooky derelict building somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

The model is a totally-not-spooky Italian tower called Colombaia del Confortino which is surprisingly hard to find English language write-ups on: https://maps.app.goo.gl/hYVZDMo5WUfcefQ3A

This one's from last week.

My esteemed colleague @snehasisnama picked this model photo from Pinterest, and we have no idea what shoot this is from and who she is, but damn if this wasn't one of the most eye-catching and colorful photos we've ever tried to...do a black and white value-study of.

Continuing on posting older doodles: we did a photostudy of a rather repressing looking office one day.

The actual photo (pilfered off of Pinterest, now lost) looked just as gray as this four tone value study!

On March of this year, we picked a dance form and an animal dancing with that form for each other to draw in the #LiveYetVirtual session.

Sadly, I could not finish mine and then my computer's HDD died. This unfinished work had no backup, so it's gone for good.

Still, this unfinished part was found, and I am sharing it because I really loved it and learnt many things while doing this work.

A degree of spin was requested, or more...

For tonight's #LiveYetVirtual, we came up with a prompt on the spot: "our lord Bidoof in an ancient Greek style"!

I present to you: Kylix Number 399—

Here's the original, and MrmoTarius' cross-stich and LCD shader renders too. They're so cool...even if I can't figure out how to make the lack of conrtast work!

#LiveYetVirtual #art #MastoArt #pixelArt #Krita #LinuxArtist #fanArt #pokemon #reuniclus

Tonight we tried to do some pixelart...

Don't have the patience for it. But I do like to look at some choice pixels! 😊

@snehasisnama suggested I draw an astronaut pokémon, and I ended up with a weird space-reuniclus in 8 colors.

...And then rendered with MrmoTarius' miraculous CRT shader, ofc!

( Look, that belly protrusion is official design. Don't blame me! )

No timelapse this time. It got overwritten by another project, unfortunately. Instead, here's the ink+tone version, which I quite liked. This grainy brush is quite nice to use.

I keep forgetting to post this piece.

Only the second in the series of D&D character illustrations in this style I was hoping to do all year, but couldn't get around to: https://mastodon.social/@Scio/111662507429365471

This one's a cocky little kobold paladin. Behold, the most important piece of armor~!

The friend who commissioned this said that it's a very canny portraiture :]

@LiveYetVirtual

Some more examples of the neon "live" sign design.

I am personally quite chuffed that our "offline" thumbnail is the same neon-sign but dark :D

Admittedly, that the logo is a 3D neon sign is only visible on that one banner, but maybe that could change...

#LiveYetVirtual #Art #mastoArt #B3D #Krita #graphicDesign #identityDesign

Timelapse that only contains shading and coloring the lineart from this year. I probably didn't save the timelapse of myself drawing the lineart...

#timelapse #LiveYetVirtual #art #MastoArt #illustration #Krita #LinuxArtist

Got around to coloring that beach-vacation-y lineart from last year:
https://mastodon.social/@Scio/110571736834184018

Back then I stopped because I felt I liked the lines a LOT more than what the colors were turning out like. Thankfully, I forgot why, and basically took that same attempt to the conclusion! Character Development! :D

Obligatory #timelapse capturing the historical moment on which I gave up on Arven's legs and er... amputated them out of the frame.

#LiveYetVirtual #art #MastoArt #illustration #Krita #LinuxArtist #fanArt #Pokemon #Arven #Mabostiff

I made @snehasisnama study the modern Sugimori style for shading practice, and had to reciprocate—

Zero regrets giving up on drawing Arven's shoes and legs—who invented them anyway, they suck!— but I do regret leaving out his giant backpack.

I am really happy to share this painting which I have been working on for such a long time. My main goal is to create a cityscape with sufficient details. I have learnt a lot from this one and will continue doing that.

I have been working on this illustration for a very long time. I guess I still have many areas to improve but I will leave this one here and hopefully start a new one. Being a storyboard artist I always try to tell stories. This one is from #kolkata

The still study of the Lisk Feng original that I ended up animating. Well, one sixth of the frames used at least 🌝

#LiveYetVirtual #art #MastoArt #illustration #ArtistStudy #landscape #Krita

I was apprehensive about posting this #LiveYetVirtual study... This illustration, the base image, is pretty much a cheap copy of a piece by Lisk Feng.

The intent was always to make a quick layered illustration we would then animate in Blender, to see how to do it as simply as we could think of.

But I ended up really liking the resulting animation and wanted to share it, copy or not!
