SWORD
People cry every time I wield this badass sword and cut-ana my way into everyone's heart.

I'll see myself out, thanks.😂

Hi!

This is the sixth piece that serves the dual purpose of being an inktober contender as well as my bid to applying perspective in my artwork, whether in thought or in composition or both.

Today's inktober prompt was 'Sword' and it seemed quite apt to just call this piece, 'Sword'. :)

Unlike the other perspective studies I have done so far, which have been one-point perspective, this is in two-point perspective.

Now, I know what you are wondering, most people draw in perspective instinctively, and that's true. I do the same. Which is probably why I really have to fight my urge to abandon the solid rules of drawing in perspective, failing miserably at times.

In today's work, I drew a knife being picked up by a hand and both these objects are supposed to be in two-point perspective. You can see the horizon line and the vanishing points at the start of the video which I erase later.

Other points to note. I kept this piece purely in linework. There is something quite soothing about having very thin lines marking an entire artwork and I really enjoyed doing that today. I might color it in later or convert it to a digital artwork. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Materials used are:
  • Brustro Technical pen 0.05 microns
  • Some cold-pressed 150gsm paper from a local unbranded company.

Thanks again for watching!

xoxo

Love...? A Short Bird Animatic

Image
The bird calls of love have its moments ... ... Hi, This is an animatic from an animation short I have been storyboarding at the moment. The birds that you see here are zebra finches and this portion of their interaction in the short was inspired from a YouTube video, that I can't find at the moment, where somebody recorded their birds having a moment just like this. I have a long way to go in studying how to inbetween, choosing colors, understanding backgrounds, and most importantly camera work. Though it's just in the storyboard phase yet, I enjoyed adding so many details just to get the hang of other areas that I need to work on in animation. I used OpenToonz to create this animatic. It has a fairly steep learning curve but for a free open software, it has everything an animator could ask for. I've found it to be the easiest place to do storyboarding. Let me know what you thought of this in the comments below. :) I hope you like it. Thanks again for

Roots: Surrealism in Ink | Inktober Day 20

Image
The roots of heritage are deep. ... ... Hi, Though I'd completed this drawing during the inktober 2017 month, I have been lazy about posting this video. I made this for day 20 of inktober for the official prompt of 'deep'. ... ... It's easy for most of us to be super critical of our work but I am very happy and proud of this piece. The inspiration was a picture of a tree that had been freshly cut down and you could see the rings and the bark cracking and splitting from the impact. ROOTS was also my first attempt at drawing surrealism art. This was drawn on 8x6 cardstock with micron pens. In hindsight, I wish I had done a better job with the composition and lineart. But, I am incredibly proud of the way this artwork turned out. BUY 'ROOTS' ART PRINT HERE (click on the image to go to the product page) I hope you like it. Thanks again for watching! :) xoxo P.S.
