Susan’s digital drawings – part 2

This is part 2  – this page starts in August 2020 (click here to return to part 1)

Introduction:

I didn’t realize when I started publishing my drawings/artwork that the page was going to get so long!  I also think that most people don’t really want to keep scrolling all the way to the bottom to see the newest work.  So I’ve started ‘page 2’ of my artwork – and on this page the newest work will be at the top of the page – and then you can scroll down for older work.  I hope folks enjoy it!

Here’s my latest creation:

Winter is almost here! This was an interesting tutorial by James Julier – there is almost zero actual white in this painting/drawing – it’s a lot of blues and yellows and actually orange! November 28, 2022 (Happy Birthday Dad! Miss you!)
I followed a fun ‘live’ drawing session with Lisa Bardot from Bardot Brush – she likes to make ‘retro’ styled drawings – and I enjoy her classes. Created this in November 2022

I’m not really happy with this one – but posting anyhow – it’s another “Art with Flow” tutorial I followed – she was teaching about using the selection tool in Procreate to ‘carve’ out the rocks – and the smudging tool to create the water effects. I enjoyed following it even though I don’t like the result. August 22, 2022.

March 7, 2022
A really nice tutorial by James Julier. He’s done several of these landscapes – and I enjoy following along with them. I don’t really usually learn a bunch from them but in this one I learned how to create the sun behind the clouds. I like how it turned out.
March 7, 2022

I like the look of alcohol paints and Alaina Jenson created some interesting and special brushes that mimic alcohol paint. This was just one of several paintings I’ve created using these brushes and other similar brushes. I find these very relaxing and fun to work with.

Fun tutorial by Karin Newport! I made this for Valentine’s Day – gave some drawings to my sweetie as his gift this year. He seemed to like it. This was fun to make. I might make a t-shirt out of a design like this in the future.

September 30, 2021
I didn’t post this at first because I’m really unhappy with how it turned out. It was a tutorial by Genevieve’s Design Studio – and it’s supposed to be a llama – but I just can’t figure out why it looks like a strange bean-man instead. Oh well – part of the journey!

..

September 30, 2021 Inspiration/Tutorial: Genevieve’s Design Studio. This was a fun and cute little hamster and I like the cartoony style of this kind of drawing – I still can’t make the leap though to create this kind of thing ‘from scratch’ – but I’m working on it!
September 30, 2021 Here was a quick and simple tutorial by Vicky Diverdibujos – I also learned about special brushes in Procreate that can actually have two colors – she created a brush with two dimensions – and it helped create the fluffy look of this little stuffed dog. I think he turned out cute. I added the background because I thought it looked better with it.
September 21, 2021 Inspiration/Tutorial: Every Tuesday (Teela). This is intentionally ‘rough textured’ but I’m not sure I like this style – enjoyed following the tutorial though!
September 21, 2021 Inspiration/Tutorial: Bardot Brush. I always enjoy Lisa Bardot’s drawing videos – she’s one of my favorite teachers – she makes me work a little harder for my results but as a result I think I learn more from her too.

August 20, 2021 – This was from a “You can Draw This” tutorial by Art with Flo. She has a few variations I will try too – I need to do a few more to feel like I’ve learned the technique – it’s cute!
August 16, 2021 – Created this by following a tutorial by Art with Flo – I believe it was a Patreon-only XL drawing – I enjoyed learning how to do the texture in the rocks – plan on incorporating the technique in future art!
August 6, 2021 – Although this was inspired by a tutorial by Art with Flo – it is my own work – using techniques I learned from her.
August 6, 2021 This medallion was created by following a tutorial by ArtwithFlo – she also had a follow-up tutorial on how to ‘switch out’ the drawing in the medallion – I will probably try that at some point in the near future.

June 8, 2021 Another fun galaxy tutorial – this time by James Julier. I know I don’t post a lot of ‘original’ art on here yet – but hopefully that will change/evolve going forward – right now I and trying to concentrate on drawings and also SVG designs for T-shirts and other artsy things to sell in my etsy store – so I’m a bit scattered!

March 2021 – This was based on a tutorial by James Julier – I love coastal landscapes – and couldn’t wait to try this one – I’m fairly happy with it – I like the colors and the effect of the sun reflected off the ‘wet’ sand. I need more work on water – and already have some exercises picked out to work on.

December 22, 2020 – before I could make the icicles – I needed to make the ‘background’ which was from another of James Julier’s tutorials – this turned out nice – but I like more realism than impressionism – but I need to keep working on both.
December 22, 2020 – Followed a fun tutorial by James Julier to create icicles – these were surprisingly easy and fun to do!
December 22, 2020 – After completing the tutorial below – I noticed some folks online were adding colors – so I gave it a try – I think I like the plain white better.
December 22, 2020 – this was from an Art with Flo tutorial – I’ve been working on other projects and needed something to ease me back into drawing – this worked nicely!
December 11, 2020 – Followed a tutorial by James Julier – but wasn’t happy about the ‘impressionistic’ way things were too blurry so I re-did it. Here’s the result – I’m happier with it – but want to make another thing with the same technique.

November 27th – This was from a tutorial by Art with Flo – this was a fun one!

November 25, 2020 This was from a tutorial from Teela at Every Tuesday. Still need to work on my lettering, but I’d rather use my handwriting than a font…
November 17, 2020 – something a little fun. This was from a tutorial by BeeJayDel – a character from the video game “Among Us.” I haven’t tried the game yet, but I’ve watched some folks playing it on Twitch – and it looks fun. I’ll have to give it a try some time!.
November 17, 2020. This pretty feather was from a tutorial by Teela @Every Tuesday. I changed the quote – (I really need to practice better writing!).

November 13, 2020. This turned out so cool! It was from an “Art with Flo” tutorial – and I learned some cool techniques. I added the little ripple ring around the base of the tree and I’m not happy with it – I’ll probably keep tweaking that – but other than that, I’m pretty happy with it!
November 12, 2020. This has been an interesting week. After nearly 22 years of working for Kaiser Permanente – this week I was laid-off – due to budget concerns because of COVID-19. So this week – I puttered around the house – did some cleaning/organizing and pouting – and then I worked on this. This was a tutorial by Teela @ Every Tuesday. Her note had another quote in it, but I wanted to use this. In spite of losing my job – I’m still incredibly blessed and grateful.
November 7, 2020 – Misty Meadow – from a James Julier tutorial. I’m tempted to go in and add more realism to the trees and background – but keep reminding myself it’s impressionistic…

November 7, 2020 – Lemon – from a tutorial by Every Tuesday – still not a big fan of water-color – but it turned out okay I suppose – I’ll do more and come back and revisit some time.
October 29, 2020 – this was from a tutorial by James Julier. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out – very fall-like! The crows need a little more work – but I’ll revisit this after I’ve made more birds.

October 27, 202 – This was from an “Every Tuesday” tutorial – I like the foliage techniques I learned with this one!
I still wasn’t happy with the dog, so I made another attempt. I’m happier with the dog, but it’s not the right hue/color to go with the rest of the scene – I tried making the dog darker and it lost the detail and personality. I think I’ll leave it for now, and revisit it at another time.
I posted my dog in the mist on one of the creative artist boards and got a lot of helpful feedback on how to improve – here’s an ‘improved’ version – better mist/fog – and hopefully a little more dimension to the dog
October 18, 2020 -This is an attempt at re-creating a photo I have of a dog standing in the mist – at the shore. It’s not how I wanted it – but hopefully I can try again in a few months and see progression?
October 18, 2020 – This was based on a tutorial from James Julier. I like how peaceful it looks.
October 17, 2020 – This was another fun “31 days of Halloween” tutorial from BeeJayDel. He used a different type of shading and highlights in this one than he’s done in previous drawings – nice to have another tool in the toolbox.

October 3, 2020 – another cute and fun tutorial from tatyworks – isn’t she cute!? Tatyworks’ example had some cute cupcakes and other sweets in the background but I decided to leave those out. Tatyworks has a cute kitty tutorial that I will try soon!
I found a new artist I really like! Her name is Tatiana – and her online persona is #tatyworks. This was the first tutorial of hers that I did and it was fun! She goes a bit quicker than I’m used to – but that’s what the pause button is for! At some point, I’d like to make stickers – so this was a good introduction to making stickers.
September 27, 2020 – One last drawing to cap off the weekend – I love ice cream! A more advanced tutorial from Art with Flo – I really enjoyed this one too!
September 27, 2020 – This was another “You can draw this” tutorial from Art with Flo. I love her tutorials – I wanted to do this one because I love the sea shore!

September 22, 2020 – A watercolor tutorial from “Every Tuesday” to celebrate the beginning of Autumn. Wow – this has been the craziest year ever! Hard to believe it’s almost October – yet – it seems like this year has been dragging on forever. COVID – GO AWAY!
September 19, 2020 This was a fun drawing from “Every Tuesday” – I obviously need to work on my lettering! But it was fun!
September 19, 2020. Took a little break from creating drawings – and was playing a fun video game (Horizon Zero Dawn). But wanted to get some drawing in as well – This was a “You can draw this” tutorial from Art with Flo – it was quick and fun!
August 23, 2020 – tried out a style I’ve been seeing online – this is a favorite picture of my wonderful in-laws, Art and Cheryl.  This is based on a photo from a wonderful cruise we took together to Easter Island.

This was the latest “You can Draw this” tutorial from #Artwithflo – simple yet elegant way to create a golden sphere. 08/22/2020
This was an “Every Tuesday” tutorial that I attempted 08/19/2020 – It was an exercise to show dimension – and I guess it mostly worked – didn’t really make the plants the way I wanted – but it’s a nice technique using shadows and motion blur.
“Blood Moon” Copied this technique from “Orchino” – a user on a Facebook group I’m part of. I like the technique and made my own variation. 08/16/2020
“Olive Wreath” – August 16, 2020 – this was another light and fun tutorial by “Every Tuesday.” Even though it was really simple – I did learn a new technique from it.
“Fresh Basil” August 16, 2020 – this was from an “Every Tuesday” tutorial. I was not up for a complicated drawing today – so this was light and fun.
Almost gave up on this one. It was a Tutorial from Art with Flo – but not in her normal fashion – she recommended color picking on our own – and blocking the whole painting in first – which I struggled with quite a bit. I was just about to give up and work on something else, but decided to push myself. Glad I did – I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
This was a “You can draw this” tutorial from “Art With Flo.” It was a long and crazy week at work, and I needed a fun drawing like this to start off the weekend and get my creativity going.
This was from a tutorial from James Julier. “Woodlands with Heather – landscape.” I enjoyed making this artwork – as usual, James created an interesting and fun landscape to draw. I really enjoy his videos! – August 9, 2020
This is something a little different. I created this as an experiment – it’s a seamless pattern. It’s for things like blankets or clothing with wrap-around printing. I made it ‘cartoony’ on purpose so most of the components are not very realistic, but hopefully you can tell what they are! I’m going to try to market items for ‘print on demand’ and this is my first attempt!
Meadow with Birds “You can Draw this” tutorial with Art with Flo. This was a quick and fun tutorial. Flo used a bunch more birds than I did – oh, and one of my drawings was featured at the beginning of her video. My drawings have been featured in a few of her videos – it’s always a fun thrill when she does that – I really appreciate it! August 7, 2020
This one was a fun challenge from Art with Flo. Getting all the little details and bubbles were time consuming. I figured out about half-way through it that my sketch portion had some mistakes in it – so I had to restructure a bit and add an extra ice cube, but it turned out okay – I think. August 2, 2020
This was from a SkillShare class by Art with Flo. It took a few hours because of all of the intricate details – but I really learned a lot from it and enjoyed it quite a bit. 08/02/2020
A quick, fun “You can draw this” tutorial from Art with Flo. 08/01/2020
