It’s been a tumultuous year so far to say the least, and I think we could all use the vibes Jewelia here is emanating right now. If you’ve been following me for a while, you may recognize this art format as my 100 Themes Challenge (See #Crystal_100TC if you’d like to see more related works). This piece took me the longest time to complete so far (at least 7 hours alone on the zentangle-like patterns) though here it is in all it’s glory. I finished it a while back, and I wish I’d shared it sooner ‘cause now I’m starting to see all my mistakes lol. Anyways, there’s no time like the present! Stay safe and sane~ ✌🏼⠀ P.S. See my Mandala Drawing story while you can for the WIP pics. I may take it down next week. 👀⠀ 🔹 ⠀ #art #arts #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #draw #drawing #doodle #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook #illustrator #artwork #mandala #originalcharacter #characterdesign #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #traditionalart #digitalart #originalartwork #instaartist #instadraw #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #Crystal_100challenge #artist #CrystalCurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CKQNcApjn8P/?igshid=1czb4e0fnj5tt
It's high time I show you guys my progress over the past month. (I seriously can't believe it's been a month already since this started!) I love how it's turning out so far. I think this is becoming the most colorful page in my sketchbook. 😊 Still got a ways to go before it's done, but it's almost there! I hope you enjoy~⠀ 🔹⠀ #art #draw #sketch #instaart #ArtoftheDay #artsy #instaartist #sketchbook #DailyArt #zentangle #mandalaart #mandala #mandalas #zentangleart #zenart #zendala #mandalala #mandalalove #zentangles #stabilo #mandaladesign #zentanglemandalalove #mandaladrawing #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artists #100ThemesChallenge #Crystal_100TC #Crystal_100challenge #CrystaltheCC
Here's the next sketch for my 100 Themes Challenge. There was a character in the middle, but I think I'm going to draw that part digitally because all the lines were starting to get visually confusing for me.⠀ 🔹⠀ I've been wanting to put more patterns and Zentangle elements in my work. I'm hoping this turns out good. 😊
Theme 7 Memory is done! I'm so glad I finally finished this. In truth, I wanted it done last year, but I was busier (and then sick) than I expected. Oh well. Have a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope yours is off to a great start. 😊
I'm back with my inked Theme 7! Sorry for the unexpected art hiatus. I was finishing up Finals and after that, all I felt like doing was relaxing for two days. 😅 Glad to be back at it though! This will be colored in soon. 😊
Theme 7 is Memory and the sketch is a redrawing of a redrawing. I guess you could say that it's also a memory of a memory. 😆⠀ 🔹⠀ I decided to revisit a drawing in my sketchbook that was done earlier this year. I redrew a drawing of mine for a class project (because I was fond of it) and looking back on it now, I wasn't happy with how the guy's face came out when I first drew it. So I redrew his face, added some more heartwarming elements, and next, I'm going to add more ink to make it pop. 😊🎄⠀
Completed Theme 6 yesterday! I've been busy with school as this semester is wrapping up. 🔹 I haven't drawn this character in a while so she got a bit of a makeover. I'm also experimenting with adding highlights, and using only alcohol-based markers. I like that they give my drawings a nice smooth look. 🙂 I hope you enjoy~
The inking is done! There's so many lines... 😳 I can't wait to finish it up with color! I hope you enjoy~
Sketch for Theme 6 is done! I'm feelin' pretty good about it. Hope you enjoy~ 😊
