For this month, I drew an apple, a strawberry, and 2 blueberries. I used cross-hatching to create shadows and make the fruits look 3D. I liked how cross-hatching gives the drawing texture, and how adding darker and lighter shadows creates a lot of depth. This technique gave the fruits a slightly blocky but still dimensional look, which I loved.

I didn’t have any art paper because I’m currently on a trip to Asia, so I had to use normal lined paper instead. 🙏

Hi everyone! Hope IE3 went okay for our Aoraki campus. In the mean time, I've attached the September themes below, with some of my own artwork for the cross-hatching technique.

Enjoy! And apologies for the late upload 😅

I couldn’t think of anything for this month’s theme, so I created my persona on a random Monday :D

Ignore the shading and rendering, I gave up on those… (along with the background :P)

This is my persona, Lurelle.

(I’m open to feedback ^-^)

For those older artists who've read Invincible, this is a crossover between Pokémon Platinum and Nogogglesible after being trapped in the shadowverse during th

e Invincible War. Chose to do Giratina as a shiny because it had the same colors (favorite shiny now).

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.

On the theme of perspective I drew evanescia from honkai star rail in a low angle, 3pp view while also experimenting with some foreshortening.

I really like drawing forshortened poses and I think this turned out pretty cool. Tried doing this without references (other than the character of course)

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.

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!

For this month's theme, I created a painting inspired by the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. My painting shows a simple black cat with a mushroom on its head. Around the cat, I painted white circles and different patterns, just like the dots and repeated designs that Kusama is famous for.

I chose a black cat because I think cats are mysterious and interesting, and the mushroom makes the painting fun and imaginative. I enjoyed using patterns and circles because they made the artwork look brighter and unique.
