Last of yesterday's #catober pages. This one was fun to do, but also I could feel myself being strongly pulled to doing pretty flat shape based drawing reproducing the references without really understanding their forms in space, in other words without really knowing what I was doing.

I could do this all day and enjoy myself a lot, but I would not be learning much from it, and would be no wiser trying to draw cats from imagination afterwards.

#ink #cats #MastoArt

Four drawings of cats in various poses standing, sitting and lying down, done in black ink.


#catober day 3 yesterday. started again by mapping my notknowing, then followed along with the first cat lesson by Joe Weatherly on NMA. Then I tried to apply that first helping of rough anatomical info to some of my sketches from the day before. Last I made a bunch more sketches from ref, and again made some attempts at very rudimentary anatomical analysis.

#ink #cats #MastoArt #drawing

five very rough sketches of cats from imagination, done in almost dried out black felt tip pen. The first sketch has no head and is commented with "NO" The same four ink drawings of cats I had posted yesterday, but now two of those are worked over in blue and red colored pencil indicating some rough anatomical structures, and the drawing in the lower right corner that is just a solid black silhouette has a simplified skeleton drawn in in white colored pencil.
A schematic drawing of a profile view of a jaguar, indicating some very basic anatomical structures, done in blue, pink and black colored pencil, surrounded by notes in pencil. Four sketches of a cougar in black ink, with the top two having some simplified skeletal structures drawn over in blue colored pencil


I still feel like my mind has half forgotten how to think in line, but it got better in the second half of the page of cougars, especially with this one. Here a slightly cleaned up version to make myself feel good:

#cats #ink #art #MastoArt

A sketch of a standing cougar in black brush pen, with clean outlines and some indications of fur and muscles. The cougar is facing to the left, but turning its head to look towards the viewer.


This was #catober day 2 yesterday. Not enough time to do real study, but at least did get the lack-of-knowledge mapping and some cougars from ref in.

#inktober #ink #art #MastoArt #cats

a horizontal A3 page with a sketch of a cat skeleton in the upper left corner, and the rest filled with five more cat sketches, all done in black ink, very scraggly from imagination
four sketches of a cougar from reference, done in black ink brush


I was out painting again today. Started to get dark, cold, windy and the rain was imminent so had to wrap it up early. #wip #pleinair #MastoArt #pastelartist

My first attempt at recording when I'm sketching with a ballpoint pen. I couldn't say that I was relaxed enough when I started recording, as I had problems with video, focus, camera shake, light, saving the recording, resolution, etc. But it was a first test and I'm sharing it for curiosity. Goal: To record a drawing class and post it on my main channel.

Content warning: anatomy studies / ballpen sketchbook training


Comic page work-in-progress: the villain pose, cool tones and low lighting are pretty cliché, but super effective. 🤩

#comic #wip #krita #mastoart

A photo of my hand with my stylus above the screen of the XPPen Artist Pro 24 while painting a panel. It's a panel of a young character with green hair and magical power. As written on the toot: it has a low-key lighting, villain pose and cool tones. She smiles like she just comitted a bad things in madness.


Train doodle while running errands yesterday. Just a modern young witch and her cat. :blobcat_nwn:

#mastoart #sketchbook #sketch #WitchyVibes #cat #AnimeArt #BallPointPen

Pink and black ballpoint pen sketch of a young short haired witch and her cat. She is looking upward towards the viewer with a questioning look. Her cat is laying across her left shoulder, also looking up at the viewer. She has a moon tattoo on her right shoulder and has two earrings on her right ear that are connected through a small chain. Behind her a black rhombus shape gives contrast, decorated with a moon and a star, lines on all sides and two bigger dots.


@cookie_mumbles Hey, yes: in short, it trains the way i imagine things precisely before drawing them. It's frustrating, challenging and quickly reveals if i know a volume or (as often) NOT 🤭. If i can imagine it fully and hold it in memory while tracing it.

My next step is to learn more body parts and how to magnet my volumes to an imaginary perspective grid (cause i'm still bad at it and often fallback to isometry).

Eg: photo under, training on✌️hands.
#ballpen #MastoArt #sketch #sketchbook

Sketchbook photo, ballben.
Training with hands doing V sign. Just because the pose is interesting (finger in extension, fingers rolled in, thumb in opposition. Challenging). Also a random girl holding a (bananna) phone, eyeball studies. Many fails and retry.
Sketchbook , ballpen.
More hands fails and retry. Sepia invited themselve to the party, fan-art from imagination of Vegeta, Piccolo and Bruce Lee, and Dai from dragon quest with his sogn of the dragon on forehead. Also, a random tea bag.


From my sketchbook.
I train myself to draw directly with ballpen while traveling (a lot of transport this week, for personnal reasons). Hard exercice, but full of good lessons. I want to practice more that way.

Yesterday's sketch session during a poetry festival held in Penne, a pretty village not far from where I live. I really enjoy these new sheets of kraft paper.

#MastoArt #Sketch

A photo of a table (top view) with four sheets of kraft paper with black and white sketches:
1. A man with long hair, black shirt and a microphone, in background another man in white with a hat.  
2. A street of the village of Penne.
3. The bell tower of the church of Penne.
4. Houses of the village of Penne.

A digital painting cartoon parody of "The Witcher" with a mastodon-ified Geralt and Jaskier in the street of a castle (with the banner of the Fediverse). Mastogeralt is on a horse, happy, while mastoJaskier sing ahead of the horse, just walking and playing the luth. In the large audience (painterly) we can recognise Ai or Pleroma.

Stumbled over a drawing I did for the kid of a friend a while back. 😁 Anything with glowing mice is fun~! Adding catbus and totoro and the joy is perfect~.

Totoro sitting on the tail of catbus, surrounded by dustbunnies and glowing mice.


Made a new mini-comic. I think many artists can relate to the story 😁

It's the result to the poll I posted two days ago to select a color palette. Thank you if you participated to it, it was a good choice!

@davidrevoy ok, I really tried to consider your points in the painting but I'm too noob it still looks so smudgy.

--> rage quit

But thanks again a ton for your comments, those will be helpful in my next try.

digital painting of a green crystal skull with a pink rose on its top


.... still not super satisfied with my color concept for the later #oilpainting
I really don't know what is missing here but the flower is still to heavy.

some digital color on a pencil sketch of a bloom which grows on top of a skull.


The Overturned Cauldron of Magic Potion

This is a remake of an old sketch. I did it to try out the new brush presets while drawing the upcoming episode.

#krita #sketchbook #MastoArt
#creativecommons #ArtWithOpenSource

A black and white sketch of Pepper, then a very young witch, in a scene where she is disgusted and discouraged after knocking over a magic cauldron almost her own size. The scene takes place afterwards, at a time when she no doubt imagines having to clean up and start all over again. That particularly thankless moment after any such disaster... Carrot, curious by nature, looks at the viscous liquid spilled on the floor.

236/365 accidentally did the two hardest things in sketching: drawing people on location and direct watercolour (no pencil/ink lines) — got an adrenalin rush as a result 😂 wow... Sketching feels like a workout at times 😅
