So, this one is called Spring Awakening. It's a dual medium piece of work using watercolor for the background and permentant marker for the flower.
This painting has no name, but it's one of my favorite paintings I've ever done. This giraffe is made of water color which is really hard for me to use because the painting never goes where it is supposed to go for me, but by some mirace, this turned out! It took quite a few days to complete it and a lot of layering was involved, but I think it turned out well!
This painting has no name again, but it is made from acrylic paint using complementary colors. It's actually based off of a museum somewhere but the name and place has escaped my memory.

Again, this picture has no name. I usually don't name any of my artwork. This here is based of a theme given to me by my art teacher: dragons, castles and wizards. At the time, I had been in the midst of the TV show Merlin and I thought that it was a great theme. Anyways, the picture sort of got it's sides chopped off, so part of the dragon and castle are missing but it doesn't take much away from the piece. This was made using colored pencils.

This here is a pencil drawing of trees to focus on depth and sizing. I think it turned out pretty well, and it was fun to make so many different shaped trees!

This is a frog of some sort created using colored pencils. It was based of a picture of a real frog, so yes, those colors do exist on a frog.
Being as one of my favorite animals is a giraffe, I have lots of drawings of them! This one is simply done in colored pencil, but the shading is not done all that well.
That's all I have right now, but I hope you enjoyed them!
Happy Easter!

These are amazing! They're absolutely beautiful, and have such detail and depth and skill, and definitely reveal a creative mind and a careful hand. My favorites I think are Spring Awakening, the Merlin themed one, and the different types of trees! Though ALL of them are fantastic! I totally envy your talent. I've always wished I could draw.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lauchlan! I like those ones too. These are my better pieces and took a while to make. I'm not naturally talented at it, but thank you!
DeleteThis artwork is amazing, Emily! I can't draw or paint like this for the life of me. The tree drawing is amazing and the first one really speaks to me about spring. Do you have a medium you enjoy using the most? How long did it take you to make these pieces?

Thank you, True! Well, I'd saying that normal graphite pencil is my favorite medium to use. Usually, painting doesn't go over well for me and gets everywhere I don't want it to! I will say though that out of the different types of paint, oil paint is my favorite because it mixes easily and it is easy to wipe up if you make a mistake.
ReplyDeleteEach piece took me a different amount of time. The last two pictures of the frog and giraffe took me less than a day. The Spring Awakening took two days, I think and everything else took at least three days to complete. I believe the one that took me the longest was either the giraffe or museum paintings; I know they each took at least a week and a half of art classes to complete!
Those are all incredible! I'm so envious of your talent. I adore giraffes!
ReplyDeleteOh! I just looked at your profile and saw you like Jamie Grace music! What's your favorite song?

Yes, I do like her music! Ooh, that's a tough choice! I love most of her songs, but I guess Beautiful Day, You Lead, Hold Me, Do Life Big and Little Ol' Me.
DeleteWow. Your drawings are great! My favorites are the trees and the last giraffe. :)
