Voilà! A sample of some of the stuff I get up to when I doodle digitally! :D
Because I spent way too much (enjoyable) time getting to know amazing folks on Discord today, and I'm terribly late, but I didn't want to not post anything, I'm doing a little "art dump". These are some of the many things I have rolling around in my art folder, some recent, some a tad older, but it's a good sample of the sort of things I do, my style and preferred subjects...
I have a lot of art lying around from the many, many years I've been doing this, and instead of posting everything one by one, I'll do one of these "dumps" occasionally with a bit of commentary for your amusement (hopefully), from yours truly.
It's probably the newer things I'll make single posts for, unless I feel a particular piece deserves extra attention ;)
hope you enjoy! ~♥
Collection of mainly 2016 things I put together for a little art exhibit and conveniently still had on my computer.
These are all done in photoshop.
Galaxy boy on the top left was me having fun with blend modes in photoshop; the lovely ladies are just fun to draw and exercises in colour, poses & just generally having fun; there's a few little creature designs sprinkled in; a couple I drew from photo reference because they were cute, and again messing with more interesting colours rather than keeping it "realistic"; the cat and ladybug is actually a fanart of the french tv series "miraculous ladybug" which I adore; and then bottom right is my take on a Dryad from greek mythology.
This is a photoshop doodle I decided to colour because I liked it. Winter was approaching and I love me some ice skating so here we are. Again with the girls with the weird hair colours. I never noticed I liked doing that. huh.
The girl is making fun of blondie for not knowing how to properly tie his skates. gotta love some cute bantering couples.
Again photoshop doodle, messing with colours and deciding to draw a (very mediocre) background in for a change. God, I'm not fantastic at those. I really should practice more. siiigh~~
More photshop doodles, love me some colour dodge blend mode layers, it makes everything all lovely and glowy. Also, the obligatory mermaid, featuring in most of my random idle doodling. Seriously, I draw mermaids, like, a lot.
This is a bit older, I was messing about in an amazing program called TVPaint, which is mainly made for traditional animators (I'll probably talk about it in some planned future posts about traditional animation) but it's also got some great illustration capabilities and I was just testing what I could do with it. Trying a bit of a different style than usual. I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea how I did this anymore, and am not at all confident I could recreate the same effect if I tried. LOL. Classic, Jill, classic.
Now, this is back from 2015, but it's a pretty fun example of my MARSLife drawings, which I will most definitely introduce in more detail in a later post. (Already planned ;D )
I don't do them nearly often enough, but MARSLife are essentially my version of slice of life / Diary type things.
It stands for My Amazingly Random Silly Life and usually features a comic-style me, in some weird situation or expressing some thought I had, or whatever tickles my fancy. They're mostly to make fun of myself and my very chaotic, but awesome life.
Back in 2015 I had short, very blonde hair, hence it looks a bit different from how I drew myself in my introduceyourself post. This was also done in TVPaint.
.... I have strange teeth-brushing habits... as you can see... >_>
Apologies for all of them being huge but it's 2am, and I can't be bothered to resize. I'm going to die a slow and painful death of exhaustion tomorrow (today omg!) at work as it is, and this way you can at least enjoy them in all their messy glory. XD
Cheerio, my lovelies,
until the next time~ ♥
