Making Art Everyday 2022 No. 11: Breakfast food

I was originally going to do a sausage and egg muffin (mmm) but then I accidentally read some info about their nutrition level and felt bad, so I did a bowl of cereal instead. And made it pink, sugary cereal, with a Gum Gum Person in it, because why not?

Making Art Everyday 2022 No. 10: Sandwich

I wanted to do a cartoon sandwich and for some reason ended up with this nightmare-inducing monstrosity. I like it!

Since I drew it face-on, it was a bit tricky to show what was on the sandwich (and wouldn’t everything slide out of its, er, butt, anyway?) so I might try a different approach if another sandwich-style prompt comes up.

The background is supposed to make you think of mustard.

Making Art Everyday 2022 No. 9: Corn

A few days late due to acting out one of those gas/bloating/IBS TV ads in real life. Cramps all day and night are not fun!

Prompt #9 is CORN. You might think there is something Zen about drawing a million kernels of corn on a cob, but nope! I did get into the zone off and on while drawing them, though. It kind of hurts my eyes to stare at this.

This was 100% Dry Brush, save for the background.

Making Art Everyday 2022 No. 8: Strawberry

Another repeat prompt, this time I decided to do three strawberries for three times the fun. Woo.

For my own reference: Shadows were done as follows:

  • Dry ink brush
  • 100% black
  • Shadows on strawberries are new layers, not done with alpha lock
  • Ovals for the ‘below’ shadows
  • Opacity for all shadows set to around 23%

Making Art Everyday 2022 No. 6: Eggplant

Yes, I chose a reference that did not look like a penis. I played around with getting the light on the eggplant for quite a while and still don’t like the way it turned out. I think I was trying too hard to mix a cartoon and realistic style, and the end result is kind of meh. If I did it again, I’d probably lean a lot more into the cartoon side of it. Or maybe just put googly eyes on it.

Not hovering.

Brushes used:

  • Chalk (texture)
  • Studio pen (black outline, some touch-ups)
  • Blackburn (main color for eggplant)
  • Clay (texture on stem)

Making Art Everyday 2022 No. 1: Orange

I’m back and doing Lisa Bardot’s Making Art Everyday prompts, at least for the very first day. We’ll see how it goes.

January’s theme is FOOD, and the first prompt is:

ORANGE

I followed along with the tutorial Lisa made, though I added some color to my leaves. It was surprisingly quick to do this. I like quick!
