Hello everyone!
I chose the theme "Halloween." I didn't have much time due to my exams and assignments, but I drew some small doodles (inspired by Pinterest) and put them together to make a sort of collage.
Thank you, Miku

Hi everyone! I've attached the October themes below and I am SO sorry these are late; I've been really busy with exams.
On that note, don't worry if you can't submit this month; I completely understand that exams take priority.
Emily :D

This month, I watched the first Avatar movie and decided to paint Toruk Makto using watercolours because he brought all the tribes together and is really vibrant. My favourite bit to do was his blue crest, because it was bright and didn't need me to paint a bunch of markings, and the pencil outline, because on top of watercolour it felt really smooth to draw.

Here is my go at cross-hatching! Its the newly discovered cat species in Bolivia, which I think is the most adorable thing ever... Quite a different technique compared to my usual shading methods; took a while to get the hang of it, but it was nice not to have pencil smudges all over my page 😅
Adorable!! The way you've distinguished the shadows from the cat's markings is so clever :D

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. 🙏
Wow!! The shading on this is fantastic, Miku! In particular, I like how you've used a range of lines in different directions to give the shapes depth. Have you considered adding cross-hatched shadows surrounding them as well, perhaps connecting them as one big drawing? 😃

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 ^-^)
This is gorgeous! This actually ties in nicely with the recent theme of perspective as well. I love the way you've created the jeans and top in particular; the way the fabric falls is so thoughtfully done. And I happen to love the background!! If you're open to feedback, one thing I might suggest is adding different patches on light onto the hair? It looks amazing but I think if you added different light parts across the various locks of hair it might add more a 3D aspect to it--though honestly I love the way it's drawn now as well! Will we be seeing more of Lurelle in future themes? 😁

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).
cue the wobble edit music (jokes aside, the rendering style's really cool and painterly. i especially like the cloudy/murky look of the background, suits the shadowverse's whole vibe really well.)

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 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?
Oh I love this! The detail of the wings is amazing; you've really captured the markings. Your use of a more muted background also really helps the yellow and black stand out 😀
