Third and last leaf for now as they take me a bit longer I thought they would to do and I want to move to something else at the moment.

Your drawings are so good! I love how you use texture in your work. In your latest pieces, I can almost feel the texture of the fall/winter leaves. I can see you have a lot of variety in different mediums and styles!

cedricgo 2024-01-22 12:36:57 UTC #693

Thanks! I have found more and more through the years that I really enjoy textures and having marks that don't look like much by themselves, but work in context of a drwing or painting.

And as for the variety in mediums and styles, I do wonder sometimes if It's a problem or not. In a way it makes it harder to master anything. But I just love exploring and trying different things. And I think that at the end of the day, what matters is just creating.

I rarely leave my comfort zone, so it is inspiring to see your journey. I think that enjoying the process more, will surely increase the speed of progression!

I guess that you can explore different mediums, find the one you like the most, and master that.

cedricgo 2024-02-02 19:58:29 UTC #696

That's true! But I find each mediums (at least the ones I've used) have characteristics that makes them good for certain things and not as good for others. So depending on what I do or the effect I want, I kind of find it useful to use whatever I think will work best in each scenario. But I can see the advantage of focusing on just one and mastering all aspects of it too. I guess that as long as I'm able to get results I like, then it's okay no matter what approach is used.

Mr Gentlefrog and his companion. I think I will be developping this sketch a bit further and turn it into a painting.

gregorya 2024-02-22 23:08:18 UTC #698

I like the detail on the frog's heads. Does the one behind the frog in the suit have wings?

cedricgo 2024-03-31 22:28:54 UTC #699

Thank you! Yes it does have wings. Hand shaped wings. Although the drawing changed a bit since I last posted.

Seems like I haven't posted in a while. Here's the current progress on my frog illustration.

And finally, happy Easter!

That's one jacked up easter bunny!

gregorya 2024-04-15 21:33:46 UTC #703

This is amazing. I like the shading of the frogs in the alleyway, as well as the colors on the wall and the background.
That bunny looks buff and very intimidating Nice work.

Thank you @vignesh and @gregorya! I appreciate your positive comments!

So I have been gone for a while, but I finally finished the frog gang painting. I call it the Marsh Mafia! It was too big to scan so I tried to take the best picture I could and correct itvin photoshop. It's not a perfect match with the original, but it's the best I could do. Here it is!

"In a city where crime is present at every corner, one group of criminals rises above the rest. The Marsh Mafia! Consisting of a variety of beings ranging from humanoid toads to dog-sized flies and mosquitoes, their members strike fear into the hearts of the citizens and other criminals with whom they coexist."

My first few inktober/drawtober/brushtober/artober drawings. I am not following any list for this, but I am going with the general theme of Halloween. I am trying doing white media on black paper, because I found last year I really liked that process and the look it gives. But I have not done it in a while. I ended up also using some black inks to go back over the white in places or clean up some edges. The black acrylic ink I use blend with the color of the paper relatively well so it doesn't show too much.

All made with black and white acrylic inks, white acrylic paint and white colored pencil on Strathmore black Artagain paper using a dip pen and a round brush

I like the name Marsh Mafia. I like the textures of the frogs in the painting.

Your Inktober prompts are pretty good. I like the facial expressions of the zombie and the mad scientist. I like how the bat looks huge, and I like the pumpkin head.

cedricgo 2024-10-26 14:42:33 UTC #707

Thank you! I'm glad you like the name and the painting. And I'm glad you enjoy my inktober drawings too! It's been quite fun to work white on black.

gregorya 2024-11-01 22:14:50 UTC #710

On day 5, I like the square owl. I also like the glowing eyes on the skull and vampire. The clown and demon look good.
The invisible man is an interesting idea for day 10. I like the angles and shading on the rat on day 11. I like the sad crying ghost. I wonder why it's so sad.
I like the lighting of the witch.
I like the boxy look of the hound and Frankenstein's monster.
And I like the red lighting of the Cat, Lady, and Werewolf.
