Pop Corn

 

This week at Making Art Everyday the theme is "at the movies." Monday is Pop Corn.  Not sure if I will keep up with the rest of this week's prompts.

Robot

Trying to get metallic shading was a challenge. But here is my little alien landing at a place near you.

 

Fox

 

More fur practice. This time of a fox. His coat is a bit rough but I think his eyes are OK. Not as successful as my cat but I spent a lot less time on this one than on yesterday's cat.  But I have set an unofficial goal to make something everyday and post it to my blog. So that is a success if nothing else. Practice makes perfect or at least better.

Himalayan Cat

This was a fun tutorial but literally took HOURS. Not perfect but I did learn so very much. Plan on doing more furry creatures.

 

Five pots of house plants

 

Another play with Procreate on my IPad of house plants. A simple illustration of succulents and cactus.

Donut

Once more having fun with illustrating in Procreate. My very favorite donut is the simple glaced one but the pink icing with sprinkles is so much more interesting to make.

 

Shamrock

 

HAPPY BELATED SAINT PATRICK'S DAY

May your pockets be heavy and

your heart be light.

May good luck pursue you

each morning and night.

I forgot to post this one that I made in Procreate on 17 March.

Calathea Plant

I was amazed by the diverse leaf patterns that can be found in the Calathea plant when I went out on the internet looking for reference files. This was my second house plant illustration for the week.

 

Snake Plant

This was Snake Plant was the first prompt for house plants this week. It was fun to play around with different texture brushes like the wood grain. It would have taken forever to draw that texture and I see Procreate as a fun playtime, not a sketching activity I want to spend hours doing.

 

Fiddle Leaf Fig Plant

I have been enjoying playing around with Procreate on my IPad. You can get so many different looks by using the different "brushes" that are available. Most of the illustrations I was creating looked like cartoons, which is fine, but I really like this more painterly style. This week I have been making illustrations of house plants based on prompts from Lisa Bardot's Making Art Everyday.
