Content Notes: Bic ballpoint, colored digitally with Photopea and LunaPic





This was drawn on paper with a ballpoint pen and then colored digitally. Not sure how to tag that.

I've posted several other hand drawings to my own journal, but so far this is the one I'm most happy with.

Lovely! The lines of the hand are so graceful. :)

ETA: You can tag it as both digital and traditional media.

ETA2: In addition, I've created an artist tag for you (artist: eye_of_toad), and added these tags to your post.

Thanks!

Thank you! I was just thinking I should go fix those and you'd already done it. :-)

Thanks! Oddly, I didn't really like the hand that much until *after* I'd added the extra doodles and then suddenly it worked for me.

Love the concept.

Thanks! It's sort of a mini add-on of the previous challenge (which I meant to do and never got around to).

Cool.

Looks great! I love the colors and your use of hatch marks/shading (I don't have a good grasp of art vocabulary yet, hopefully you know what I mean). I really like your pose-able (artificial) hand drawing, as well! I want to practice something like that, more, too.

Thanks! I've tried to do pencil drawings with more subtle shading, but I find I just enjoy the contrast of ink instead. There's something really satisfying about crosshatching.

I've been using a free app called "PoseIt" for the practice drawings. It let's you pose the mannequins and change the camera angle and zoom in and out. (Alas, I also have this knack for accidentally posing the mannequins into completely impossible positions.)

I'll check out the app, thanks!
