New Creations

Due to our host's confusion caused by stress, the Friday Face Off is happening on Thursday this week. Fortunately I have some work ready to share.  

For several nights I stayed at Mom's as I was the only one available to sit with her. This is prime time for drawing using my iPad and digital pencil.  I must say that the digital pencil was a good choice for me. I have the Apple Pencil.  When I bought it I thought "that is a lot of money for a plastic stick."  For me, it has proved worthwhile.   I love the ways I can use it for sketching, drawing, "painting" etc. So, here are this weeks offerings. 


The first is a reworking of a previous piece that was a re-make from one of my quilted faces.  I changed her hair, both style and color. She has new eyes and eyebrows. I reshaped the nose and lips also. So she is in essence a new creation. 

I love flowers and on my iPad, I had a photo of a hibiscus that I took in Mexico years ago.  I used it as my reference and created this piece. 

I used a gaussian blur to give it a soft dream-like quality. 


This lady is a reworking of a pen sketch that I have shown in the past. I used that sketch as a reference and drew her again digitally.  Of course I had to add some color and changed her skirt a bit in the process.

More “Art”

Lots more play on my iPad. Here are my offerings
I used a pen sketch as a pattern, then added color.



Another bubbles and fishes composition. I love making these bubbles.


For this I used an old high school photo of myself as a guide. I removed the glasses though.


Another of my pen sketches used as a guide.

Friday Fun with Art

I have been having fun with digital art again.  Until Wednesday night when I had a panic moment. There is a special adapter that I used to charge the Apple Pencil.  I went to get it from my backpack and it wasn't there!  Yikes, what to do?  I thought about it a bit and decided that I had probably left it at Mom's.  You see the charge lasts a good while and that was the last place I had charged it. So, I went to bed and tossed a bit.  I considered calling my brother, but knowing that he was going on a trip Thursday morning, I didn't want to interrupt his sleep.  
I got to sleep and slept thru the night. The first thing I thought about was "is it at Mom's?"  So I texted him. He said that he thought so.  Whew! 
At lunch on Thursday, I was at Mom's so I looked. Yes!!! it was there. I grabbed it and put it by the door. It is now safely home. LOL.  I ordered an aftermarket spare to have at Mom's house. 

Now onto the art pieces I have created.   This first one uses some "digital stamps" that I have altered, cobbled together and painted. 

Next is a re-do of one that I created using one of my quilted faces as a guide. 
I changed her hair and her lips and altered the angle of her head.

you can see the original HERE

And finally the latest piece that was completed is an underwater scene based on some real elements but put together in a pure fantasy combination. I really love this one. 
There is transparency, lots of layers and fun use of depth.  
The bubbles were learned in an online class, and I have to say, I love them. 
I need to finish the class, but I am not sure when I will have the time to do it. 

By the way, I can offer you a link for a free one month trial of Creative Bug (where I took this class) 


I am linking up with Nicole for the Friday Face Off.  Even the fishes and eels in my drawing have faces.

Friday's Digital Art

This week I have three digital art pieces to share with you. All of these were created on my iPad using the  Procreate app and an Apple Pencil.






And just for the fun of it, an interesting graphic design that I created to see what I could do using the symmetry tool.
