Weavings: High Noon

Just finished another large wall hanging. This weaving was inspired by Native American designs, retro bohemian living rooms & the great Wild West. I've called it 'High Noon' :) 
You can see all my available weavings on my Etsy shop.

Crystals & Aging Gods

'Mountains and Sea' drawing with glitter pens on Willow's back.

Runic Markings... & more portraits

Figuring out a signature mark for my art, based on my first and middle name initials, YA (Yasmine Amber). I decided on the design at the bottom. It incorporates a crescent moon and a tringle/pyramid/mountain in a runic/hieroglyphic-style marking. I like that it looks like a dancer too.

Need more practice drawing hands (more tips here).

This last portrait of Christie done on the bus from Prague.

Pug-i-corn!

These little fellas are gonna be all over my paintings.

And now with little magic rainbows activated!

Baphomet Embroidery

Tattoo style baphomet embroidery design on my improvised, cardboard and pegs embroidery hoop. (WIP)

Portraits

Faces: my favourite thing to draw. + practice drawing eyes and mouths.

Incorporating tone values (light and shadow) into warm-up exercises, as well as perspective practice (by drawing 3D shapes on a grid). 

Visit To Willow's

Let me explain all the ellipses and vertical lines. They're warmup exercises, and I've been doing them everyday before I start drawing. 

I've been really inspired by Brandon Dayton's blog and his method for How To Practice Drawing, a daily routine of Warm Up exercises, Study (of a technique, skill and/or other artists' work) and Application of that skill. His blog is full of helpful tips on drawing practise.

Spent the weekend at Willow's place in Woltersdorf. More flower drawings, including some little daisies, as well as a couple of quick sketches of Paul in the evening dark.

Tattoo Art Style

Have been loving the clean, defined lines of tattoo art at the moment. I bought Megamunden'sTattoo Colouring Book - what an awesome front cover - practised drawing tattoo flowers in his style.
Also, Melbourne tattooist, Emily Rose Murray, is blowing my mind with her amazing work.
