I want to show how young people have opinions on world situations, and it should not be left only to old powerful men. World leaders and all people need to pay attention to what is happening: both polityically as well as to our precious planet. I am working on two more posters and will post them here as I draw them. These posters are extensions of my technique of using Yupo copic markers and AI together. I would love to hear if you like this idea or not.
Here is a little sketch I did of a young girl, being completely at ease in nature. She is surrounded by the things she loves…mainly birds and honey bees.
This composition got its composition from my prompt. It got its color by adding one of my Yupo hand drawn background papers as seen below. The background color paper was the basic palette and I included the blue bird with an additional prompt. What I really like was the way the colors blended so softly and the blue becomes a focal point. She looks like she loves her little friend.
Adding a surprise element like this colorful copic marker art on Yupo paper can add a dramatic effect. The drawing was quick and effective. The mysterious colors blended beautifully with the sketch. I like to combine things that you are not sure will work together. That’s one magic trick in AI.
Here are some trees I drew. Just doodles actually. Nothing serious here but once in a while it’s just fun to play.
It’s interesting to find out how what you draw is a reflection of whatever mood you’re in. The next thing to play with is to learn how to animate the trees. Let’s see, I could animate some fruit falling from trees, or animals in the trees: dancing, falling down, playing hide and seek.
I have been painting fish, faces, and flowers for a long time. I might have more art supplies than your average art store (just kidding, but it’s close). Some ingredients I use over and over are fish and flowers, fish turning into faces, flowers turning into fish. In this painting the basic shapes of koi and waterlilies are colored with colored pencil. No wonder I’m never bored drawing every day.
I’ve been away for a long time. Health issues. Busy house issues. Overwhelming times. I am happy to say it’s been a long haul but I’ve squared away my energy, my meds, my lifestyle.
I’m having a lot of fun with AI. It’s been a rewarding time and I plug away every day. Here’s a drawing I did today. I made up the phrase and then made a prompt from it. I made quite a few AI versions of this before I realized that this is not necessarily an ocean fish. 😍
