Drawing digitally is fun when the subject are Seals

 

Honing your art skills is fun when you choose to practice with cute, adorable seals! Here is a video showing how I draw and paint these cute seals. Some say painting, some say drawing or sketching, and some even say coloring. Whatever your choice, just keep practicing with whatever tools you prefer, and I can promise it will be fun. I use my iPad and the procreate app. really just for the ease, mobility, and lack of needing to wait for paint to dry. Being too impatient, I will eventually have time (I hope, when I retire) to await drying pain. But for now, I indulge in the digital space of an application that virtually mimics real paint be it watercolor, acrylic, oil or other artful substance. I hope you get the art bug and try your hand at creating and drawing, I think everyone needs an outlet to relax and shake off the stressors of life. You can do as you please in a digital art application, there is no fear of wasting precious paint or paper. Just delete and start again!

HAPPY CREATING!

We Need More Tadpoles & Starry Hand fish!?

 

    Animal art prompts are getting more fun and less stressful to attempt. Thinking back on this page I sketched out only one tadpole, when have you ever seen just one tadpole? Of coarse not! There's usually a cluster of eggs which means of coarse many tadpoles, I guess it will be another do over for me  😄

I do enjoy water and ocean animals. This little tadpole, I decided needed to be a blue green, but he actually turned out to be more green gray and I am perfectly fine with him. 

    And the starry hand fish, don't even get me started, what a character! I love the pointed horns on the back, I say horns for lack if a better word. This fish reminds me of the horned toad, but who ever heard of a horned fish? I know, I bet if I did an internet search I would find them, but for the sake of a good discussion I'm just putting it out there. I used watercolor markers which did not blend as it should on the pages which are not watercolor paper, so can't really fault the markers. I ended up using the watercolor markers as regular markers and not adding water of coarse, which would have been a complete waste of time. I do like how the colors popped and each animal was colorful and fun. This was definitely a good time. How did your animals come out? what tools did you use?

Using Ink Markers to Draw a Pirate

This was a very fun page to complete in my art prompt book Scribble Sketch Draw It book 1.

I'm still learning to relax in my drawing, not to be so tight with the pencil when sketching. It's easy to get tense in the arm and shoulder , the one I'm using to draw with. I have to consciously remember to loosen up the grip on the pencil, same for the other art materials I use. If you find that you maybe doing the same thing, be sure to put your tools down and do a good hand, neck, and or arm stretch. Relax those shoulders. I know it takes concentration and focus to pump out great, good, and even mediocre artwork, I mean it is called "artWORK" for that reason. Being mindful of how and where you carry tension in your body will only help you to prevent burn out.

    Even though I'm the one who created all the art prompts and put all the numbers into the box to draw from, I still get very excited wondering what it is I will be challenged with. Coming up with fun, non repeating ideas for drawing, enough for each day of the year is not an easy task. I actually did repeat some ideas and had to go back and correct them. But even worse than that, the program I used had duplicated several pages, I don't know how I accidently did that, but I had to painstakingly go back and check and recheck I had no repeats. So if you find any let me know please. I will correct them promptly!

   

 Enough of that, Drawing a pirate really is fun! I knew immediately I wanted a fancy hat with a big feather hanging off the side, I wanted fancy buckles on his shoes but chickened out on doing the details. No question my pirate was going to have an eye patch and thick busy hair!

    Yep! There had to be a parrot too! I am definitely drawing more parrots and pirates in the future!

Scribble Sketch Draw It Book Series Page

    Welcome to Scribble Sketch Draw It, a fun art drawing, sketching or scribbling video . who doesn't have fun with art prompt books, I know I do! Also I really need to increase my skills at drawing and sketching, but sometimes, the white page staring so dauntingly at me can be too mesmerizing and I find myself stuck on creativity. So art prompt books are great for this kind of block. The one or two word prompts are fine, but I thought I would create scene ideas, a scene that will allow the user to decide just how he or she will scribble, sketch or draw it. Taking some of the pressure of having to pull out a fresh raw idea from your mind and putting in a picture or scenario for you to build on or even start with, I thought is a great idea for a new art prompt book. And then of coarse I thought well now that I made the first art prompt book with scene prompts, I thought I also want to practice drawing animals, so Scribble Sketch Draw It - Animals is Book 2, I am working on a still life and or landscape Scribble Sketch Draw It Book 3, still unsure of exactly how I would like that book to inspire budding artists, like myself.

    I do hope you enjoy the videos, comment and add your artwork, I would love to see what creative ideas you have and how wonderfully talented you are!
