I thought about painting each element and portray them as characters. This is the first, as I wanted to paint something to do with water and got the idea of doing all the elements.
So it'll be a fun 'mini series', I've already started wind and fire, which will be male characters. I wanted to include some oranges and yellows for the contrast.
More original work, hope you guys like! :D
As usual, done in SAI and some photoshop.

Thank you! I wanted to try and give her face more personality and thought freckles would be a nice touch :).Quote:

But yeah, I wanted to draw something else here, as it's been in my mind lately :).
Done with ink pens, black ink and white ink.

Some fan art from VHD, as I've been reading the manga again. I wanted to try and make him look more like he's drawn in the manga, rather than the anime art version of him. I also tried a bit darker and desaturated color scheme with this.

Oooh, I love the colour on this one!
Thanks Bubba, happy you like it! :)Quote:

He's also often referred as king of the forest as well, and he takes care of animals and plants with other spirits.
This challenge has been really refreshing somehow. I sort of remembered how much I like drawing with ink :D.
It got me thinking that I should make this a permanent habit, maybe one or two ink drawings a month.
It would be great to be more organized with digital painting as well.
It's also nice to have a clear deadline to aim for, it's a challenge but it feels great when you get your work done in time :).

I really love ink drawings, and I loved your strong female warrior.
Question, are you going to take part in the Halloween art competition?
Thank you, happy you liked it! I checked it out and it sound fun, but I'm not sure if I have enough time to draw something for that as well.Quote:

But I'll keep that in mind if it seems I can finish the inktober stuff faster than I thought.
Damn your inktober is so amazing. Maybe one day I'll get that good!
Your talent.. i'm so envious! Your colouring is especially strong.
Thanks Freya, happy you like them! Drawing and art is a 'never ending journey' really, you just need to take one step at a time and you'll get far and surely continue to improve. I used to think that "I don't have what it takes and can't get any better than I am now" but it's just about practicing a lot and determination to improve and having goals as well. Surely I still sometimes feel like that, but it often passes after a short brake.Quote:

That's what I think at least, when I practice :).
