A pair of individual framed paintings showing the two frames of the "Awkward Monkey" meme, with a little red sticker next to it indicating it's been sold. No, I don't know why either.

Today we went to Carriageworks to see the Sydney Contemporary exhibition. There were some really cool artworks, and also some weird and very pretentious ones. Also for some reason someone painted Awkward Monkey.

A selection of basic black and white cartoon-looking sketches of people heads. Six in total, five female and one male with a handlebar moustache.

And this batch of head sketches I started earlier in the week, and it was only about an hour and a half all up, which I’m pretty pleased with. It was mostly practice for getting the proportions right with my freehand guides and I think I succeeded! I used only the “Procreate Pencil” brush and the smudge tool. Pretty stoked at the result!

A digital painting of the view of a beach from the air, running left to right, with a row of trees in grass above that, then a pathway, then a cliff, some short bushes at the cliff edge, and a two-lane road. At the left is a white lighthouse.

I’ve finally been doing some more art in Procreate! I started this in February and kind of forgot it until now, it’s a bit basic but I like it.

A “pencil” drawing of a nonspecific jet fighter flying between clouds. The moon is lighting up the edges of the clouds and the afterburner on the jet is lighting up the back of the jet and part of the clouds as well.

I used to doodle jet fighters in my school books in primary school, and here I am again 25 years later! This was 40 minutes in Procreate with the Derwent and HB Pencil brushes.

An isometric perspective painting. Two tall buildings with lit windows are on the left with an alley in between, with a bright tall sign lighting it. Three large slabs are past the entrance with shadows being cast from the alley, one has some sort of digital panel on it.

A painting of the head of a woman with her eyes shut. She has red hair and only the left side of her face is being lit.

I finally got around to doing some more art on my iPad. The first one I’ve been tooling around with since August, and the second I did last night just with the Oil Paint brush.

A painting of a woman smirking, with one eyebrow raised. It’s not fully finished and is on a grey background.

I finally did some more arting! Procreate did a livestream with Pauline Voß, a German artist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6CIF9-f_pk) and I discovered she'd created her own brushes and recorded a video on her style and techniques (https://www.artstation.com/skadivore/store). I tried to emulate it, I struggled with the proportions and the lighting and she looks kind of dirty rather than artistically lit, but eh.

A head and shoulders portrait painting of a white woman with piercing green eyes, long red hair, and dark green lipstick. She’s wearing a dark purple top, and there’s a bright light shining behind her that’s lighting up her shoulders and the very edges of her hair.

I finally got around to doing another portrait! I call it “The Witch”, I was going to add a witch’s hat but couldn’t get it to look right. I took full advantage of Procreate’s symmetry guide, haha.

A painting of a volcano erupting atop a hill, the hill is surrounded by taller mountains all around, and the sky above is filled with striated dark orange clouds.

And then lastly, a volcano! This was properly quick, Procreate said it was only 45 minutes all up, but I think it's one of my better pieces. :D

A very clean geometric painting of grey and blue city buildings. The sky is purple and the light is coming from the very right, the buildings casting shadows to the left.

Then I decided to go back to the perspective guides in Procreate and did this! Okay yes this was slightly over two hours, but I'm quite pleased with it. My biggest issue is working out how to put fine details in (there aren't any in this because I couldn't manage to make it look good).

A REALLY simplistic painting of a ravine in a desert winding off into the distance, flanked by two large stone plateaus on eitherside.

A nighttime scene, a large purple Jupiter-like planet is looming over the mountains at the top-right, a lake of glowing blue liquid sits at the right, and a tall dark purple tower with yellow lights on stands at the left.

A perspective painting of a church from the the front and slightly to the side. The moon sits in the sky to the right and the church is casting a harsh shadow off to the left.

I've been getting back into doing some art things, and inspired by @silvia_ritter have been trying to almost speed-paint. My stuff is certainly not a patch on hers, but mostly just to try to not spend five hours getting every detail right! First up are these three simple crap ones from the past month or so.
