Artist, dog-lover, cat-lover, avid reader. Retired, so time enough for all of the above... All my paintings are digitally handdrawn (NO AI!!). Most are done in Clip Studio Paint

Memories. You take a painting, add something and hopefully it turn into ....a story. #illustration #art

Retro Girl. Went for a retro look (duh) and used pulp paper and experimented with palette knives for the background. #retro #illustration #art #digitalart #myart

My involuntary month long abstinence from drawing caused some kind of artist block. So I sat myself down and painted. Happy with the result. #portrait #art #digitalart #digitalpainting

Oyster. Not been able to draw for some time. This was just a way to get the muscle memory going.

Beard. I thought I was done doing portraits for a while. But here we are. I think it was the beard. #art #artshare #portraits #digitalpainting #illustration #realism

Geezer. I had promissed myself not to do any portraits for the time being. But than this guy came along and I couldn't resist.

Cat's eyes. Drawing fur is fun but a bit time consuming.

Sad?

Well...she got her wish 😁

I'm in the comfortable position that I don't have to sell them for a living. I have sold a few, usually work I did on a commission basis. In those cases I print them on aluminium dibond and - if the client wishes - I frame them too. It's very much like screen prints or etches.

Muscle. Rebelle 8 is out. It is amazing how realistic it simulates traditional media. It is really like painting with oils or aquarel. But sadly I can't get my footing. It doesn't give me the amount of control I like. Still happy with this one and the "This is Sparta!" vibe it has.

Male portrait. Once in a while I get feed back that I only do portraits of women. So....here ya go!

Grumpy. Recently I posted a work in progress. Now the final version.

Huub Simons @claw55.bsky.social · Jul 26

Rage. Sometimes you have a drawing that goes so smooth it's like it draws itself. No struggle, just fun.

Huub Simons @claw55.bsky.social · Jul 23

Thank you!!

Grumpy (WIP). It has been a while since I posted a Work In Progress. This one is nearing completion.

Lips like cherries. Skin texture is a challenge for me so I was apprehensive to tackle this one. Happy with the result. #artshare #art #digitalart #realism #hyperrealism

Tears. (Face 160). Subjects for portraits are usually good looking people trying to look even better. So for a change of pace....#artshare #art #digitalart #myart #clipstudiopaintpro

Face 162. This one went from: "Let's see if I can do that" to "What were you thinking!" to "Hmmm...that ain't half bad." #art #potraits #clipstudiopaint #digitalart #realism #artshare
