Read more →Here are the drawings for the past few weeks. I took my drawing gear out to a cafe and to cronulla, but mostly been drawing from home and with no reference.
This was drawn in Cronulla. It’s one of my favourite spots to draw - just sitting on the bench and looking out over the water and building. The focus on this is the buildings though.
A skinny tall character with lots of circles. More than usual (though there are a few clouds in the sky).

Faces on the few suns in the sky.

This was setup of gimp on the pi - no thick to thin stroke.

Pepper And Carrot e32 line trace. I loved the landscapes in this strip, so decided to draw it. The tents were especially fun to draw - I’ve drawn similar in the past with the Spyro The Dragon painting. I added the logo from the top of these strip to the bottom of this panel.

A portrait of roicehawdt from redditgetsdrawn. I have been working on my getsdrawn script that downloads images from redditgetsdrawn drawn, builds a nikola blogpost from it, and uses MS azure image to return info on the people in the image (gender, age, faceial expression). I wanted to build something that would help me filter certain images from rgd that I want to join.

I’ve gone back to horizontal as I was unable to figure out how to rotate the input on the wacom drawing table to vertical, so it makes the orientation hard. Still I think at some point I will buy myself a large drawing tablet as it will suit my larger monitor better.
Here’s the art from the month, it’s all been completed from home (another Pi for my portable monitor would be handy, I’m quite excited that Raspberry Pi recently reduced the price of pi4 2/4 gig models - I think I will pick up a 2gig version sometime soon. I will use this for my home desktop computer and use my current pi4 1gig for the portable Pi. They have certainly came a long way since I started using them in 2014.
A drawing of two figures from RedditGetsDrawn - username is emopartytime. The position was unusual and made it interesting. Plus I rarely draw multiply people.
A portrait of Harsita-r from RedditGetsDrawn. Broke her face up into lots of shapes. I like the star pattern on her dress.
Wideleg character in the top left.lots of tube like shares with lines running through them.
Landscape on the bottom left. Circles for the mountains in the distance.
Portrait of theoofficalradio from RedditGetsDrawn. She was wearing a black hat, which I tried to cover in with line. Nothing in the background
This was the first test with vertical monitor. All the black line was not set for pressure sensitive. Repeat of the one eye character.
Circle arm character on the bottom left. Holding his arms up. Stars for eyes, and a monobraw.
A portrait of Rosalia. I had lunch with her at the Rusty Rabbit Cafe. It’s a nice cafe. This drawing of her was referenced from a photo taken in Dubei. A beautiful building the background, with water in the foregrond. She was wearing very dark glasses but I have added her eyes and added line overtop to show the dark glasses.
Vertical drawing of scatterbrainzzzu from RedditGetsDrawn. I struggled to draw a circle for her eyes due to the wacom drawing table being horozontal but the monitor being vertical. It took alot of concentration to get it right. Nothin in the background, but stripes for top. scatterbrainzzzu
