inktober 2020 part 4

Last inktober 2020 collection. George has gone trick or treating, gotten scared of the bed monster, waited for a bus, went to school, flew a kite, played with toys and danced to music. 

I hope you enjoyed George and following his little adventures. Maybe we'll see George again and he'll be developed and go on even more adventures.

For part 3 of 2020 inktober, George is riding a bike, being a chef, rowing a boat, on top of a lighthouse, in a tree house, playing a trumpet, on a nighttime walk and rock climbing.

I only used 2 colours for this inktober,  a sepia ink and a blue fountain pen and i think it worked quite well.

Part two of 2020s inktober. George is seen here visiting an art gallery, visiting a museum, on a roller coaster, petting a badger, picking flowers, struggling with wind, in the rain and climbing a mountains. 

This year I didn't want to follow a set prompt list so just made up a bunch of activities that George could do. 

The Cat verse The Vacuum. A True Story. A Comic Strip.

This fun little comic strip is based on my cat called Tizzy. Tizzy hates the vacuum cleaner so much and its very funny. She's a pretty lazy and overweight cat but when the vacuum cleaner gets turned on she is the fastest little cat you've ever seen. She'd give Usain Bolt a run for his money when she gets the zoomies. Vaccing the house more often does wonders for her weight loss regime along with her special diet food. This is my first comic strip I've ever done and I hope you like it. I would love to create more little comics and have some ideas so look out for them in the future. 

2 little cats

This pet portrait was a very belated birthday present for my big sister. After doing my previous painting of Tizzy and loving how it turned out, I wanted to do another. Since I owed my sister a late present, I wanted to give her something special and from the heart. This one is of Tizzy who is our current cat and the other cat is Kiri who was our previous cat who we sadly lost to heaven in 2017. These cats are so different in look and personality but i think that is what makes having a pet so wonderful as each one is so special and they all have their quirks like every human. This again was done on watercolour paper and its pretty much A3 but a little smaller. It was done with watercolours and pastel pencils. I used a green watercolour wash in the background as both their eyes are quite greeny so I feel like the green background makes their eyes pop. Luckily my sister loves the piece and that made me very happy and it is making me feel more confident with more realistic work and I  really should do much more as it definitely does make my stylised work better and I hope you all can see that too. 

A Cat called Tizzy

My cat, Tizzy, really doesn't like cameras being put in her face but one day when she was hiding from the scary vacuum cleaner in the bathroom, I got a brilliant full body photo of her. With this photo I decided to work on watercolour skills and my detailed realistic skills since I tend to focus on very fun stylised work especially since finishing alevel art in 2018. I love working with watercolours and always have so it was my obvious choice to work with for this pet portrait. The painting is on A3 watercolour paper. Since she is a very white furred cat it's tricky to get her to look really fluffy so I used grey watercolour and grey pastel pencils to lightly make her look as fluffy as possible and I think it turned out well. The blue watercolour wash in the background represents her favourite toy which is a blue flamingo with catnip inside and a little bell. Tizzy doesn't look the happiest in the drawing as she gives this grumpy judgy look when there is no room for her on the sofa. She really is the sweetest little cat and we love her very much. This painting is up on my parents wall in their landing and replaced a tardis crayon art I did back in 2016. I really enjoyed doing this pet portrait and would love to try lots more in the future (the next post is also a pet portrait so watch out for that) but i would love to practice more and maybe evem do pet portrait commissions if that is anything that interests you or anyone you know. 

happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone. Hope everyone has a nice relaxing day
