This month I made a mixed media art piece of an exoplanet, TOI 1338b, surrounded by magical creatures for the theme Beyond.
I used a mix of various card stock, stick on gems, watercolours, acrylics, and highlighter to make it.
I like the way the colours shimmer at night.
I attempted an art study on Judith Kunzle, a Swiss artist who lives in south pacific (Rarotonga). She is known for her sketches of traditional dancers and watercolour landscapes. Her style incorporates loose flowy lines to capture the movement of dance, as well as harsh textured shadows to add depth to her paintings. I tried to replicate this with some sketches of pacific sharks, copying this style to add dynamic motion to the drawings.

I love this so much! The flow of movement is definitely visible in the sharks; having now looked up Judith Kunzle's art I can certainly see the similarity. Are these any particular type of pacific sharks? :D
Although this is not following any monthly submission themes, I drew a random girl in Japanese style maid clothes so I would like to post it. I'll try to complete the monthly submission too!
This is so pretty, Yoshino! The shading on the hair is fabulous; it really makes it look like it's reflecting light. Hard to believe it's just white paper! Amazing use of negative space. Don't worry about following the monthly themes either---they are encouraged and I like to see how people interpret them, but they're not entirely compulsory :D
this is my june piece which doesnt necessarily fit the themes (sorry) but part of me searching up 'portrait' on pinterest and drawing it alongside other sketches from pinterest references :) i suppose my pinterest reflects me so you could say it's linked to identity 🙃
This is gorgeous :D I love how soft the shading is; you've captured the shadows and angles of the face amazingly without making them too harsh. The flowers look exquisite as well!
P.S. Themes are only meant to inspire you; it's cool when people follow them but they're not completely compulsory :)
I LOVE this! The contrast in your palette is beautiful---the way the dark black complements the pastel colours of the exoplanet is especially cool. Amazing to see a range of media in your work as well! Where did you discover TOI 1338b?
