Thanks for the share!!

I'm Ash, and I'm honestly still trying to figure out where my style and focus will land - but I definitely tend to human/organic forms and some abstraction.

realized I needed a white pen to go with toned paper and ink. now I need bigger ones.

I finally finished the other big WIP! it took forever, and I don't think this captures what the initial vibe was, but I think it's good in its own right. and I learned a ton!

A lighter-skinned woman with long dark hair is pulling open her chest with a shocked expression. It's not gorey, though there are a few cracked ribs, but inside she sees another light-skinned woman, with shoulder length brown hair, reaching out in panic. She is bound by kelp and the background looks like deep swirling water.

migraine (again)

wanted to see what would happen - fairly happy with the result!

#art #artsky #digitalart #painting #digitalpainting #myart #drawing #illustration #abstract #abstractart #darkart
An abstracted sketch of a 3/4 face, a sinkhole in the right temple, right eye upturned and bloodshot, left eye closed tight, jaws clenching tight. Large swirls and splatters of color everywhere.

Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.
An abandoned building by the beach where a window overlooks the sea. The water through the window resembles a painting, so someone has scrawled Free Rothko on the wall.

One of my big WIPs is done! Was very excited to work on this and I'm fairly happy with how it came out, for where I am!

A hand reaches out of a pile of ash. Three of its fingers are bone. There is a bright California poppy growing out of the base of the palm. Thistle grows from the ashes. The poppy is in full color and the rest of the image desaturates as you look further away.

powered this out on a plane. 2hr45m, which for me rn is probably a speed paint! it's not remotely how it looked when it popped into my head trying to sleep last night, but so it goes. still pretty happy with it, esp for time spent!

A 3/4 view bust of a skeleton in front of a flame colored swirling background. It's wearing a blue veil/drapery with golden yellow trim, and a silver crown with thin upright rounded prongs. There is a greenish gray stone halo vertical behind its head.

I haven't had much to post because I've been plugging away trying to figure out digital painting with two bigger pieces, but here's a study from last night!

My first commission! Completed in March, the scope grew quite a bit from the original idea and it challenged me in a whole bunch of new ways.
