Hotel Living

I've been staying in a hotel for the last 3 months now. It's a nice place, to be sure - but it means I have been away from the bulk of my art supplies for an excruciating amount of time. I finally snapped yesterday, and used a cheap watercolor set to draw this wilting petal I found. Using a brush to guide the pigment and water through paper felt really satisfying - I guess I've really missed that feeling.

Also, while my updates have been slow as of late, I can say that I've been really good about keeping up with my sketches. Life will return to normal eventually. As long as there are things to draw on and stuff to draw with, I'll be just fine.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

Twinbee

Trying some new ways of picking colors for my digital pieces. I was not aware that Illustrator has a tint slider. I feel much more confident sticking to a very limited number of hues with a tint and shade for each. This illustration uses only three: blue, pink, and tan. Twinbee is one of my favorite video games - it perfectly captures the weird concepts and bright colors that find their way into my work. Not sure where this pose came from, but I didn't want it to waste away in my sketchbook.
