Hi *waves*
I'm feeling particularly special right now.. I meant to delete my borked sketchbook post but I accidentally delete my sketchbook instead - gutted.
So starting over..
So I'm here for those all important art improvements but I also want to make some friends <3
- I also really appreciate comments, paint overs, helpful information/links and constructive criticisms etc!
^ All these are 2016 pieces by me.. Cs6 & Bamboo / (Now) Cintiq 13HD ^

I joined a Fb group " Daily Spitpaint " @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1402563099961950/ There's a few rules which include setting a timer and working within 30 minutes and creating something based on 1 of 4 daily topics...
DSP1 Spiked collar - "Ran out of time (30Minutes) so didn't do nose, other eye or main hair or finish the ear and other bits.. So panicking I cropped it.."

None Reference Portrait Practice - Lineart of a clown I sketched some time ago, started painting.. Decided to continue painting it only really felt this was hitting a joker theme.. so removed the clown nose and ran with this.. Really quite pleased with myself..

DSP2 Stardust - "Less than 30 Minutes (postman came and I forgot to pause the timer) to be honest I'm overly pleased with myself though I'm aware it needs more shadow, definition and better values.. Thoughts?"

A thank you present for mum, to say thanks for being there for me and trying to make things owl-right!!
Hello missimoinsane! :D
Greetings to you! Nice to meet you
Let me be your sketchbook friend! :D
For now I can't provide critiques but just watch and follow you with the occasional commentary, yohohohoh~
But I will soon give some when I improve my skill level
Really nice digital paintings!
Please continue improving! It is very nice to see all this and inspiring :)
Thank you for making another sketchbook :D
So sorry to read about your sketchbook on Deviantart :(
But maybe a fresh start can also be a good thing to set a new perspective and direction :)

DSP3 Dark Flame (or Devoted Follower) - "30 Minutes - The timer ran out. Aside from the accident where I somehow merged the lineart into the painting (kicking myself) and I somewhat got brain fog over how light would come through a wax engraving.. I need to study candles, how flame behaves, how light comes through wax, etc etc.. I really liked my idea but think I might have over challenged myself with this. I don't think it's too bad though.. Thoughts?"

DSP4 Ancient sea lord - 30 Minutes - The timer ran out. I don't like it, one of those the more I did the worse it got then I started panicking as I was running out of time so blended it into the background, blurred the edges and added beams of light. *shrug* I may work on this and actually turn it into something more like what I had in mind.....
Ps. This looks MUCH better on my cintiq 13HD than on PC and phone screen :/ in all honesty that's kind of putting me off doing art. I have 2 monitors, a phone, a tv, another pc with a monitor and a cintiq 13HD and the values, tones, colours etc etc all look different and on some screens it looks amazing and on others it looks absolutely awful :(
That Ancient Sea Lord *w* -Suggeee!!!-
Arrigattou for your kind words, I shall keep trying ^^

I'm back, been inactive over the holidays due to Birthday, Winter Solstice, Yule, Christmas, Family stuff etc etc.. But I'm hoping to get back into it. :D Yes I had a lovely time and I hope you all did too.. Did some various sketches and playing today.. and a Tribute to Carrie Fisher (aka Princess Leia - STARWARS) who passed away today.
