A pumpkin contraption, where the idea is this:

A button mechanism has been installed where the pumpkin’s stalk would usually be. When pressed, the button activates a mechanism that pops out lit candles on both sides of the pumpkin, through holes that have been carved out.  :-3

Apologies for some missing dates regarding when I worked on this piece.

I ended up working on this piece for longer than I anticipated, and as a result, I ran out of space to place dates on the original full A4 page. Therefore, unfortunately not all dates that this piece was worked on have been recorded.

The lazer gun is inspired by the Railgun weapon from the Grand Theft Auto V (Microsoft Windows/Microsoft Xbox One/Sony PlayStation 4) video game.

I recently visited my local park to have a barbecue with a couple of family members.

During my time there, I managed to photograph a couple of stunning shots of the sun shining through the trees amongst the barbecue smoke.

This is the portrait orientation capture of it.

A drawing that I have done on page 3 in my Daler-Rowney A4 Optima Spiral Pad.

My main inspirations behind this piece come from the various nature oriented pieces that were painted by Bob Ross in his television show The Joy of Painting. In fact, this piece was drawn entirely while watching and listening to episodes of the show on Twitch’s website. The page for this can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/bobross.

The blue and purple colouring at the bottom portion of this piece is supposed to represent the sea, while the blue colouring at the top of this piece is supposed to represent the sky. My attempt at drawing the sea and sky didn’t come out nearly as obvious as I would have liked, but I still am very fond of this piece overall nonetheless.  :-)

A drawing that I have done on page 4 in my Daler-Rowney A4 Optima Spiral Pad.

There are two main inspirations behind this piece: One is blocky abstract art, and the other is some stained glass that I have seen on some buildings in my city’s town area. I thought that it would be interesting to combine these two elements together.

Additionally, the shape of the encompassing black frame is inspired by the shape of the Microsoft Windows 8 operating system logo.

Unlike my previous digital art piece, I wanted this one to take up the full space of the canvas. I wasn’t too bothered by Rustic Tribal Cyclops Insignia having significant blank spaces, due to it being a ‘symbol’ piece of sorts. However, with Aquatic Splatter Splash, I felt it was more important to use the full canvas due to it being more of a ‘scene’ piece. That’s my take on those differences, anyway.  :-3

Another big focal point for this piece was to use colours which compliment (rather than contrast heavily against) each other, and stick to variations of blues and purples to hone in on the aquatic theme.

While I have used a larger variety of visuals in this piece, I think that I prefer my previous piece just a little bit more. I do really like how this one turned out as well, though.  :-D

Created in Serif DrawPlus X6 using various brushes, transparency styles and a couple of altered QuickShapes. Brush strokes drawn entirely using a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 1000.

This is my first attempt at creating some kind of art piece entirely digitally. It took me approximately 45 to 60 minutes to create most of it, and I made some minor adjustments afterwards.

I have wanted to try my hand at doing digital art for at least a year, but I put it off several times. This is partially because I’m primarily comfortable with doing paper-based drawings, but also due to me simply lacking confidence that I would ever pull off a digital art piece that I am satisfied with.

As it happens, I am in fact much more happy with this piece than I expected to be. It turned out looking a lot nicer than I had anticipated. With this being my first proper go at digital art, a lot of the creation process involved experimentation, and exploring how different brushes look amongst one another within the same canvas.

Overall, I am fairly satisfied with the finished piece. I am glad that I took a plunge outside of my comfort zone, and as a result of this piece’s outcome, I now look forward to doing more digital art endeavours in the future!  :-D

The pink highlights around the edges of the eye’s white area, are inspired by pink areas in eyes of the Primarina character from the Pokémon series.
