Wisteria in watercolor

#mymodernart - just more watercolors/flowers, I was too tired to do much last week, want to make sure I do something.

A yellow dog lying in dirt, surrounded by red, yellow and orange foliage. Watercolor.

Month 3: Analogous. Red, orange and yellow are my favorite analogous colors.
This is a picture of my childhood dog surrounded by autumn colors.

#mymodernart - reposting a few things with the tag today!

#mymodernart (I'm terrible at using that tag.)
I'm honestly happy with the cups themselves.

Four labeled weapons. Clockwise from top left: Lapis Flamberge (blue blade with gold/white inclusions, silver and gold hilt) Pearl Bardiche (silver handle, large iridescent white blade) Quartz Nunchucks (golden chain connecting two large, pink crystals of quartz with little golden inclusions.) Amber Naginata (gold and wooden staff with a large amber blade.)

Early doodles of weapons from Might and Magic: World of Xeen. (Yes, these are actual weapons, strength-wise they are rank two or three out of five. I'm replaying the game and I've had all of these at least once.)

A bright blue opossum against teal walls, with a little pink food dish and a little ball that isn't supposed to look like a pokeball but let's pretend it is.

I felt like drawing an opossum and also trying a palette challenge. It might not have worked well together, but I still think it's a cute little critter.

Month 2: Lineless.
I looked at a lot of nebula photos, then freehand-painted a picture based on that.
Acrylic markers over watercolor.

A challenge on Instagram for painting food in particular - this was purple cauliflower. Acrylic marker on mini-canvas.
#mymodernart

Cluster of purple flowers on a green vine, with color codes/swatches in the upper left.

Drawing some wisteria, my favorite flower. I was going to use ink and alcohol markers, but I drew it on the back of a page, so that'll be the next one. Used Arrtx acrylic markers on this one.

New intro post: I'm Wally, I'm a hobby artist who somehow does stuff despite ADHD. I've been drawing for ten years now and writing for much longer. I do original and fan works.

Black and white ink sketch of a hippopotamus running in front of a lake.

Grey hippo running across a green-and-brown field in front of a lake.

Month 1: Lineart.
Original ink sketch, then an attempt at coloring with alcohol markers. Me attempting to sketch a hover hippo.

Creating a thread for the Wonder Art Style challenge so I don't lose them.

Not a great picture of this doodle, but I think I'm getting better with blending alcohol markers.
(Ignore the cloudy bit around her chin, I drew this on scrap paper to test new skin-tone markers.)

Acrylic marker painting of a sunrise over mountains. The sky is orange, red and purple, the mountains are purple/black with blue and pink mist.

Sketched a quick sunrise in acrylic markers. Color study. #mymodernart

Large pink/peach tulip, lined with ink, colored with alcohol markers. Color swatches/numbers are on the right; for the curious these are from the newest Ohuhu pastel set. Values are YR07, YR47, YR56, YR57, YR58, G36, G43, G49.

Same materials, different paper (this was a marker pad that I'm still trying to decide if I like or not, still lots of bleed but blending is slightly easier.) Another tulip, with swatches. #mymodernart

Two hippopotamuses, a mother and a baby. The little baby on the left is green and light blue, the mother is pink and purple. They are standing in front of a fence on a brown field.

I'm looking at hippos - trying to get anatomy right for something I'm working on - and so I end up painting them. #Arrtx acrylic pens and #Prismacolor pencils.
#mymodernart

Three larger tulips, two from the side (left) and one from the top (right) along with a tiny one at the bottom. Bottom is orange-pink, far left is pink-purple and yellow, middle is periwinkle, far left is striped with yellow and pink.

More flowers - alcohol marker practice and lineart practice. #Ohuhu and #SakuraPigmaMicron pens.

Art share for all! I am not a professional artist, it's a hobby that helps me a lot.

I do fan works as well - you can find them in my pinned post if you're curious.

If you see this, post a flower.
Mostly warmups and #arrtx marker tests. (I did a more serious sketch and posted it yesterday.)

Evergreen tree with brown cones. Rendered in colored pencils.

Red poppy in a meadow.

Recent colored pencil sketches. #mymodernart

I got a prompt for a sheep on top of a crow, practicing with #arrtx acrylic pens.
