I noticed that in my sketch she is too small. Apparently, spaceships are really difficult to draw when you don't really know how you want it to turn out. I believe I have chosen a final design for the spaceship but I will do another sketch and decide then. I am kind of stuck for the background because I don't want it to be too plain, but I have no ideas for it.]]> 2016-10-21 11:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/132306325 meghanaf https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/133685264 I want to do watercolour but I am having difficulties with it.

I tried mixing colours to get what I wanted and i worked out fine. The thing I messed up on was the lips of my girl. They are very small so the colour went everywhere and I had to darken her skin tone so it would be less noticeable. The mountains in the background might be a very light red or they could stay gray/black. I have yet to decide that but I think I did okay with my amature watercolour skills.]]> 2016-11-08 12:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/136057237 meghanaf https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/136685402 Maybe try water color pencils for the smaller details]]> 2016-11-10 11:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/136685402 lupesvdr https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/138674398 I have tried my best with this painting because I have zero watercolour skills. I feel that it turned out pretty well but of course it could be better. There are random spots of other colours near the bottom that aren't supposed to be there but I couldn't really do anything about it. The spaceship does still look smaller than what I wanted it to be but I'm just going to leave it as is.]]> 2016-11-18 12:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/138674398 lupesvdr https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/140804387 I am thinking of making a sculpture. Would I be allowed to make one? I feel like it would be something different than what I do. I mostly draw and I was getting into painting. I would like to try to make art in all mediums. It was not really good and it could be a lot better but I am proud of it. This is the trashcan I made of lead singer Shirley Manson from the band Garbage.]]> 2016-11-30 14:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/140804387 lupesvdr https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143091113 I am now on my working on my WOW piece for Paint 1. The theme is landscapes and I chose to do a suburban -ish landscape with the bus stop and whatnot. Okay, I really had no idea what to do but it's cute so it's good enough for me. In my sketch I wrote down which colours I shall be using.]]> 2016-12-12 12:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143091113 lupesvdr https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143092050 The thing I was working on is adding colour to the sketch. I had done the watercolour first and then added the ink. It does look a bit messy because I was just trying ]]> 2016-12-12 12:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143092050 lupesvdr https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143094357 I looked through some books that helped me with adding details to my painting. There were some places where I went back in with more colour. The details do make it look better so I am happy that I took more time to add it.]]> 2016-12-12 12:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143094357 lupesvdr https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143094823 Yahh I have started another draft and I accidentally made the little thing too wide but it shall be left alone. I am actually really proud of how this came out. This is still a draft but I do not really want to make another one because effort. There are a few tiny details I have yet to add then I shall be done.]]> 2016-12-12 12:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143094823 lupesvdr https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143101848 I only added details to the bushes and tried to fix the clouds but they came out looking the same. I tried to darken the colours a bit but they're still light but it's cool.]]> 2016-12-12 13:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lupesvdr/yp27u65no5ud/wish/143101848
