Old piece depicting a pink, pointy shark with green eyes and grey speckles. I wanted to depict the speckles in the new piece but I just couldn't find a way to work them in :(( This was a pretty useful piece in terms of "realistic" colouring, especially with the background. The original title of this piece was Pinkolio Shark 🦈💕💚
Old piece depicting a stubby, friendly shark with a peach underside, vibrant yellow top half and red gills. For this piece, I wanted to go wild with weird colours in large blocks. The eye being another colour would've brought some welcome attention to it rather than it fading from focus, but this practice helped me exercise my creativity when I was younger and new to digital art. The original title for this piece was Cooper The Shark 🦈💛🍑❤️
A new piece depicting updated designs for the previous two pieces' subjects. These designs contrast each other incredibly, so I took it further in both details and background. For details, I gave them small things like conflicting eyelash designs and gill sizes, and made their fins contour in unique ways. For the background, I coloured each half using their original piece colours, then overlayed those halves with a striped purple design at 45% opacity. This keeps their unique palettes while moving them into a shared tone and pattern. I love this piece compositionally since their body types and personalities are reflected by how they position themselves around the other 🦈🤝🦈
These pieces were both for testing brushes and colouring styles, and were drawn pretty much at the same time, so I found it fitting to draw them together!! Focused on honing their individual shape language to explore that dichotomy 🦈🦈
