nightmare team

Hey guys,

heres a painting (yay)

just thinking up a team of gals at this point not too sure what to do with them...

nothing too crazy...

one of them has a reverse dream catcher thing (?!) aka nightmare powers (woo!)

the other one's a knight with a panther-ish helmet that was fun to design.
and... a dark armored elf lady trying to get the armor to contrast against her pale skin.

Process wise- just basic rough sketch, rough color block-in under the lines and then painting opaquely over top.

trying to keep the values close, yet having the hues differ from character to character was a tough balancing act. still don't feel like i nailed it down, but hey.... needa work on balancing multi-figure comps. i have a lot of fun and learning a bit. totally gonna do more of these.

i don't think i have much more to say about this one, but yeh..

if you guys have any questions or comments feel free to email me 

marjoriedavisart@gmail.com

Thanks for looking,

Marjorie

Self Portrait

Hey guys!

so... I decided this year to partake in national self portrait day... it was a challenge, in a good way.

I used a mirror and spent like 3 hours on it.

 For most of the painting I did not have my glasses on, so I think it came out way more blurry looking oops :x 

    

all in all, it was a good learning experience and I hope each of you guys try doing one.

Here a link to the timelapse video.

Selling/ parting ways with Sketches and Paintings

Hey you guys, how's it going?
I've been sorting through old stacks of art (sketches and paintings) and to be honest I don't have space for all of it, so I'm posting up quite a bit on my Ebay so I can clean out and organize things all nice (and a little extra money is always much needed haha).
So if you guys want original sketches and paintings for pretty cheap nows the time! :)
heres my >> Ebay!

a simple tip

I've been under the weather lately, so, I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile you guys. but I am making my recovery, so I shall be updating more frequently now.

When I am sick I tend to run into problems regarding drawing and painting, like forgetting how I do things or just have a art block, so what I remember from some art advice video was to draw and keep drawing. 

don't know what to study? pick something random and study it. that simple. Just don't stop drawing and trying to learn 'cause the longer you stop the worse off you'll become and the more stuck you will be inturn. but if you continue to draw and study you'll get over your art block and things you forgot how to do will come rushing back to you. 

so you guys if y'all are stuck with art (drawing/painting etc.) don't give up just draw everything, and anything. 

don't despair- inspiration and ideas will come to you if you work hard never give up! :)

best of luck.  くじけないで。

Ocean Inspired Illustration

Hi guys! hows everyone?

So a few days a go I decided to do a bit of a test live stream VIA google+ and uploading it to my youtube account 

And I gotta say it was pretty fun! I got good feed back and I shall be doing more! but next time shall be talking next time! So please post your questions and I'll try my best to answer all of them. :D

I'll be streaming every other week 

heres my youtube channel  every live stream will be taking place there and if you miss it it'll be uploaded so you can watch it when ever its most convenient to you :)  also follow me on twitter if you want to be more up to date @marjoriedavis91

^ this is a photo i took last weekend returning from the beach, and consequently used as my color pallet for the paintings (that i'm going to show you below) lol  

the not pretty, extremely rough idea in my sketchbook. the idea behind it is pretty much a blackmoor goldfish, water and the ocean in general. 

so i chose to do two versons one a little cooler and one a bit warmer.

I'll be doing 18x24 prints of these so comment here or shoot me an email xmarjoriex.md@gmail.com if you'd like to have one :)

anyways I hope y'all have a awesome weekend!  

live streaming painting demo

sketches :)

hey guys~

I wanted to share some sketches with y'all today. 

for me at I love looking at sketches the most its just cool to see where all the ideas come from and less intimidating to look at other than finished illustrations. lol xD

   I love sketching faces its fun and good practice. I try to fill a few pages with head and face ideas so I can pull from them in the future... makes it to where ya dont struggle with the illustration and makes the over all drawing go a lot faster.   

also mixing up animals to make a crazy looking creature is lots of fun too. 

hopre you guys have a good day and happy sketching!

land ho!

arr I haven't paintaard landscapes in a long while ;3

so i did some quick paintings for yeh land lovers out there. lol

I hope y'all guys have a good weekend. 

biosuit hyperstar things + more

Hello you guyz :3

got a few new things i'd like to show y'all~ 

i think this is one of my personal favorites 'cause when designing this i was think about project run way and harper's bazaar lol (sucha girl) but yeah, heavy inspired by those things... in my own weird way i guess.

and heres is my version of a steampunk space pirate (based loosely off the thumbnail on the lower left corner)  done for fun. cause fun is awesome :D

update

                  so this is one variation of a friend character I've been drawing out... so this is  fully fleshed out costume and of course colors ;b

posted up on my not so serious deviantart account here 

things I miss + update

Hello you guys~! hows it going?

So today was meh and yeah, started think about things I used to really enjoy and miss doing.

Like I miss painting in acrylics; I miss the feel of a brush roughly dragging on the uneven canvas surface and having to wait for the paint to dry to see how much the color changes (for some reason acrylics seem to dry a lot darker than when its first applied :x ) and also ruining my favorite clothes looking like an artsy douche with paint all on my clothes lol.

and I miss playing guitar and piano its been ages I think I forgot everything I used to know how to play. lol I dunno why I have done those things in a long time and I kinnda miss it :/ I think I'm gonna take some time to finish the paintings that are gathering dust in my closet. I would like to show you guys some of my traditional stuff anyways, I think it'd be nice.

heres some of my realllllly really old paintings. I'd thought i'd share 'cause sharing is caring ;) lol 

     and i also miss karaoke T_____T
