Cedric's Artsy Voyage

[cedricgo]

Thank you @gregorya and @vignesh! I hope you had a good one.

Here's 2 magnet I made as gifts. The bear on made with air-drying clay and and the owl made with cardboard along with various recycled pieces.

And finally, my summary of art for 2022!

[cedricgo]

Not my first drawing of the year, but the first one worth posting!

Ink, black colored pencil and pastel powder on bristol paper.

[cedricgo]

Just an ink drawing to practice style and techniques.

Ink on 11" by "14 hot press watercolor paper

I really like the picture and the thumbnail. Good use of Negative space.

[cedricgo]

Thanks! Originally I was planning a big cloud in the back, but I thought it looked much stronger and bold without.

[cedricgo]

Here's a drawing I made for my fellow artist jessicabessy's "draw this in your style" challenge on instagram. This is meant to be a porcelain girl with a cute rabbit friend, but i feel like i just turned her into a regular girl with tattoos. Anyway, go check her art out!

Illustration I made for the band Late Night Trouble new upcoming shirts. I had a real tough time coming up with a concept at the beginning, which is actually pretty rare when I'm commissioned to do something. Fortunately, after a bit of discussion, we managed to settle with this concept, and they seem really happy with it!

Here's a few acrylic study i made in my sketchbook . I hadn't really painted since the beginning of the year, so it was fun to get back into it.

[gregorya]

These are very good studies. Do you start painting the light or dark first?

[cedricgo]

Thanks! In general i think i prefer going from dark to light. But gor these I started by blocking in the basic shapes using the light midtones and the dark midtones. From there I pushed the lights lighter and the darks darker.

[cedricgo]

Arm study made using mostly acrylics and finished with touches of pastels and colored pencils.

[gregorya]

That is very impressive. It almost looks real.

[cedricgo]

Thank you @gregorya

[cedricgo]

This was simply a little practice piece made to test out a technique using a surface primed with clear gesso, which dries with a slightly grainy texture. It's a nice surface for using pastels and colored pencils too actually, if you don't mind a bit of a rough look.

[cedricgo]

A drawing from last weekend, made with no real plan in mind.

Reallynice work, always nice to see others who use traditional medium to illustrate:D

[cedricgo]

Thank you! I've been focusing more on traditional art since the year started. It's nice to be away from the screen a little bit.

[gregorya]

That is a really good drawing. It looks like a alien bird.

[cedricgo]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

[cedricgo]

Wow! It's been a while since I last posted. To be honest I haven't done much worth posting in that time, but still. Here's some art!
