Cross-posted from ""Look up": A panel from my comic" by @jjj@lemmy.blahaj.zone in !art@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I drew this panel for my MSPFA Failbent a day or so ago. It's the first large scale outdoor panel I've made and I'm overall really happy with the background at least.

I'm not so sure about the trees' texture/density/etc. It's supposed to be in a dream so I guess I can write it off...

Drawn with GIMP.

Lemme rephrase: Made by Dragon Builder on MonsterBrainSoup

There is this little sentence in Peter Pan that always had me. Tinker Bell gets the help of some "street fairies" to help get rid of Wendy. There is no description of street fairies. There are no streets in Neverland.

This scene typifies Tink's full homicidal rage against Wendy. She is going to deport her from Neverland. If she dies, she dies. Something very absent from the later Disney versions of Tink.

"A shorter adventure, and quite as exciting, was Tinker Bell's attempt, with the help of some street fairies, to have the sleeping Wendy conveyed on a great floating leaf to the mainland. Fortunately the leaf gave way and Wendy woke, thinking it was bath-time, and swam back." -- Peter Pan, 1911

i am struggling with a block lately so i thought maybe sticking to silhouette might help 😅

Have run across this guy in several stories over the past year and am intrigued by his grift and scumbaggery.

I couldn't get my brain to do what I wanted to draw. That happens when you are trying to create something that hasn't existed before. So I thought "what if I drew something that already exists?" How close could I get to an absolutely recognizable work? Can I do it without messing it up? Can I do it without fixing the "errors" in the original that no one notices unless they are not right in the head?

Do you copy the signature of the original as credit?

Turns out the live model painting has been delayed until June. I need a pallet cleanser from all the pencil drawings. Found this reference and thought it was fantastic.

Some more random doodles from when I need to pass the time.

Ink & Inkwash

I didn't quite like how the bottom turned out. I tried having brown for dirt against the sky, but it was too dark. Then I went over it with green and all the way down to the bottom of the page. That looked too solid and square, so I went over with some yellow. I'll have to look at more pictures and videos to get this better. I'm really looking to do this so I can paint a tree in the foreground.

I have been putting off making a valentines card for my wife for the last 3 weeks. I finally sucked it up and churned out this rendition of the Lotería card El Corazón.

Not sure where to post this, so here it goes.

Life

It must come to an end
For even though we lived a good one
It's time to go away


Remember the good times you had|
and all the fun you had
'cause it's time to go away


But if you have a strong friendship
you might remember them in your next life!
But sadly, it's time to go away
