This is a scratchboard drawing I did from life back in the day. I used to sit and watch the world go by. The boardwalk was the place to be. It was very entertaining. If I can ever get my act together, I’ll put these sketches into a little book.
Men are dads. Don’t mess with a protective dad. Men fight back, men protect.
Let me know if you like this image. This idea was kind of difficult to create for weird reasons I don’t quite get. I think it’s because I didn’t feel right today. But, I kept going and It turned out to be a good one. I asked for a blue frame around the subject. Instead I got a “blue blend” which I think works much better. By the time the generator creates my request, my brain is left behind. That’s ok. Move on. Always move on. I love the soft but masculine style of the imagry and the color palette. For some odd reason, I couldn’t upload my watermark correctly. Some days are hard and that’s all there is to it.
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.
I overhead a coversation of two cats chatting over morning coffee.
The big Maine Coon cat on the left (Alfredo) has a sarcastic look on his face as though he’s bored with everything. The Rag Doll cat on the right (Louisa) looks a little stuck up and kind of snooty. Alfredo says “Hey girl, have you ever heard of a Rag Doll?” Louisa stares at him in disbelief “I AM ONE YOU BOZO!” What a way to start the day.
