Blue day of the giraffe

Before coming back to Estonia from CA a few days ago, we visited San Francisco Zoo, where I saw giraffes. Being quite fascinated with these interesting animals, I took a bunch of photos of them, and when I returned home in the evening I made a little painting based on one of my photos.
 

 

Prints are for sale in my Etsy shop!

 

White owl

Here is my little watercolor painting of an snowy owl.

 

 Prints of this painting are available in my Etsy shop!

Wish you all a beautiful Sunday!

 

 

Watercolor sketch.

 

Naughty animals

Just for fun some old and new sketches of naughty animals.

 

Fairytale sketchbook

I made some photos of some little paintings from my sketchbook. I really enjoy drawing fairytale creatures and princesses! I also practised drawing folds and little patterns in the fabric. That's kind of fun too :)

Color test

This is color test, I'm going to paint her traditionaly with acrylics on cardboard.

Reggae octopus sketches

Digital sketches of octopus, I'll probably do him traditionaly with acrylics on cardboard.

Jellyfish-girl

I want to make this painting traditionally with acrylics on cardboard or canvas, so this digital painting meant to be just a sketch (color test), but I like how it looks and I thought to share it with you.

May be you noticed the difference in style between this and my previous works… well it’s the graffiti influence. I become very excited about street art and I would be happy to go out and try to give color to some gray ugly walls, but unfortunately I’m not able to do this right now… sooo walls are in safe for the moment and can relax, but I’ll return to this thought later ^^

Wolf sketch

Sketch of a wolf for my next illustration.

Hamster

I saw a video about very crazy hamster, who was brave enough to fight with three men. This little creature impressed me much!

The video is here: [link] Look at his poses, he's like from animation movie :)

After this video I did some rough sketches of fighter-hamster.

Sketch for "webbed feets":

 "Horns":

Didn't had a time to make background for this creature...

P.S. I like the view from my window... it's evening and already dark, but street lights and falling snow makes everything brighter... sky has a nice pinkish hue... very beautiful!
I love watching at the streetlamps and see how snow is falling down... it's mesmerizing me :)

Have a lovely week!

Experimenting

Here is my experimental sketches... I'm trying different things :)

P.S. My first digital drawing in my blog :)

Sketches

I'm sketching every day, so on my table and book shelves... hmm... everywhere around me are piles of paper with sketches and drawings. I desided to show you some of them.

The first sketch is for the challenge on Sketchoholic.com - illustrate the following 'Save a Whale. Eat a Mermaid'. I think it's cool challenge and it's fun to do it... hope I'll find enough time to finish illustration in time.

Here is another mermaid sketch. I can't say that I'm a big fan of mermaids, but I like to draw them.

Next is life drawing. I look on somebody short time and then try to sketch him. This is not easy for me... people move all the time, goes away and so on... at the begining I thought that this is impossible mission, but whit the practice sketches become better and I really hope to improve this skill much more.

Bellow - random sketches.

The first one was made while listening Coldplay - "Fix You"

Tartu Sketch Grupp :)

UPDATE: Gruppi tegevus on peatatud määramata ajaks.

Mis võib olla parem kui joonistamine?

Joonistamine toredas seltskonnas, muidugi, koos teiste kunsti fännidega :)

Mõtlesin luua Tartu Sketch Gruppi, mis koguneks kord nädalas, ning koosneks inimestest kellele meeldib joonistada.

Milleks on seda vaja?

- Võimalus huvitavalt aega veeta :)

- Võimalus suhelda inimestega sarnase huviga, näidata üks-teisele oma töid, kuulda teiste arvamust

- Võimalus õppida üks-teiselt midagi

- Ning kõige tähtsam - võimalus joonistada koos ja lõbusalt aega veetes tõsta oma joonistamis oskuse taset.

Iga kord võib valida mingi teema joonistamiseks või teha visandeid inimestest ümberringi, või lausa üks-teisest. Vahel võiks isegi väikseid joonistusvõistlusi teha.

Kõik on see mõeldud selleks, et motiveerida inimesi joonistama, saavutama uut ja kõrgemat taset joonistamises, ning säilitada armastust ja kirge kunsti vastu.

Oodatud on kõik: alustades nendest, kes alles avastasid endas huvi joonistamise vastu ja lõpetades nendega, kes isegi magavad pliiats või pintsel käes.

Kus ja kuna see toimub?

Iga kolmapäev kell 18.00
Infot toimumiskoha kohta leiate minu blogi paremas tulbas.

Mida kaasa võtta?

Kaasa tuleb võtta vähemalt paber ja pliiats.

Soovitatav on ka hea tuju :)

Loodan teid näha kolmapäeval :)

Kui tekkib küsimusi või on ettepanekuid, saatke mulle meil aadressile ilona.sula(ät)gmail.com

Värsket infot koha ja aja kohta võite alati leida minu blogis paremas tulbas.
