I FINALLY got my Ko-Fi page to a place where I feel like I can advertise it. I currently don't have as much art there as I have on here, but I am going to update it with my current art. I would really appreciate it if you could share this, and any tips you give me would me a lot!

A pencil drawing/study of @beatricepirate.bsky.social I've liked her music for a long time, and I've wanted to do a drawing of her for a while now as well. She just released a new album, Cavale, which you should check out!

A pencil drawing/study of the musician Beatrice Martin. She's clasping her hands together. All the pencil lines are vertically hatched. A zoomed out view of the same pencil drawing as the previous image so you can see the pencil I used as well as the entire wirebound sketchbook sitting on a table.

Alpenglow

#watercolor #art #traditionalart #painting
A loose watercolor painting of a mountain at dusk/dawn that is experiencing the phenomena known as Alpenglow. When the mountain gets hit by the sun at the correct angle it seems to glow with a red orange light.

Hello, #PortfolioDay!

I’m Iga and I’m an artist based in Scotland. I specialise in character artwork and love to play with texture.

Open for commissions and freelance work! Feel free to reach out directly, as I’m in the process of updating my website.

A selection of nine portraits - mostly commissioned by various clients as well as two personal pieces. They’re all done digitally in painterly style with visible brushstrokes and deep colours. There are vampires, vieras, elves, lizards, dragons and other humanoid but ethereal creatures. Two painted book cover illustrations side by side, both showing a pale blond man and a brown-haired woman. The one on the left shows the figures lying down on the dark ground as they gaze longingly at one another. The one on the right has the man holding the woman in a dramatic pose as she awakens to her vampiric powers. Illustrations commissioned by Cat Rector for her novels: Coal Gets In Your Veins and Learning to Bleed. Two watercolour portraits displaying loose brushwork. On the left - Maelle from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a young girl with red hair in a ponytail. On the right - a woman with dark hair and flushed cheeks.

A watercolor sketch of a mess of trees and bushes in my backyard. I liked the abstractness chaos, so I tried to capture that

A watercolor sketch of a bunch of bushes and trees and vines as seen from my back window. There are bits of the sky poking throughout the image, especially at the top.

Oh my god thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. Watercolor can be so cruel to work with sometimes, so when it turns out well it feels magical!

I bought some casein paint to play with, and it's really fun! It's kind of like acryla-gouache, but milk!

#art #traditionalart #painting
A teeny casein painting of a tree on a blue sky background. The leaves of the tree are yellowish and there are several little spots of the sky that are poking through the leaves. I imagine the tree is an Aspen or birch tree in fall

A plein air study of the nature walk near my house

#watercolor #traditionalart #pleinair
A watercolor study of a landscape done in plein air. There is a large dark green tree on the left third of the composition, and there is a loose suggestion of trees in the background. In the foreground there is a warm brown suggestion of various grasses and autumn-flowering plants. The sky is a very light blue grey

I've come to the conclusion that for me there are two types of watercolor painting styles I like doing. One is more of a traditional painting style and the other is more of an illustrative approach. This painting was done using the latter. I like how it turned out!

I know exactly what you mean by the grit though. There is a feel and look to Photoshop brushes that other programs don't seem to quite capture
