I take a Tuesday watercolor painting class from @willowheath.bsky.social to escape the world and focus on joy, art and friendship. I'm super happy with today's birch trees. Arches paper, Daniel Smith paints, Sakura pigma brush pen.

Tomorrow it is back to editing.

#artsky #watercolor #joy
Two colorful watercolor paintings of birch trees with bright backgrounds. The general vibe is illustration rather than realism. Closer photo of one of the birch tree paintings, with a warm yellow, ochre, and gray background and trees outlined in brush pen (thick and thin marks)

Artists! QRP with your most detailed art~

not sure it's actually my MOST detailed, tbh, but all the little lines and curls and such in the waves here took for.e.verrrr. my respect for Hokusai somehow increased from maximum already after trying to emulate his style for this piece tbh.
#miroku #sango
an illustration of Miroku and Sango from Inuyasha. from the top left, Miroku reaches for Sango, his expression encouraging. at the bottom, Sango reaches upward with both hands in return, her hair unbound and a hopeful look on her face. behind them, a full moon hangs in the night sky, and a wave crashes over a pair of meoto iwa (sacred wedded rocks), in a style loosely emulating that of Japanese artist Hokusai, in particular his iconic paintings of ocean waves. this piece was made for the Every Heart Inuyasha Ship Zine, as a "what if?" sort of AU scenario that reimagines the myth of Izanagi and Izanami with a happier ending.

Youth Seated by a Willow; Single Page Illustration https://clevelandart.org/art/1947.499
Single polychrome paintings of elegantly clad youth were produced in considerable number during the 1600s, primarily for people with means who collected them and had them mounted in albums. Instead of functioning as portraits, the images of these courtly figures express ideals of youth and beauty. This young man’s lavish sash and turban enriched with costly gold thread proclaim his high status.

Still Life with Dahlias, Zinnias, Hollyhocks and Plums https://collections.artsmia.org/art/125879/
large bouquet of flowers--mostly dahlias--in white, pink, orange and red, in a blue and white round jar; more flowers and plums in LRC Today, Eugène Delacroix is often discussed as a painter of North African or Middle Eastern scenes, and of events drawn from the Bible or from ancient Greek and Roman history and mythology. Yet accounts from Delacroix’s lifetime confirm the artist’s lifelong preoccupation with flowers and gardens. His floral still-life paintings, though few in number, were some of his most influential works. They were seen as being focused on what Delacroix and his modern admirers considered the “abstract” side of painting—color, composition, and dazzling execution. This still life has little to do with botanical illustration. Rather, it is about pure painting, and as such is one of the earliest exercises by Delacroix on his course to transform the art of painting in France.

I'm Hampus, I do cool art and play too much pathfinder. I'm not hunting for work as of now but please do stick around, I will hopefully have some fun surprises to show sometime this year!
Book cover illustration of the book "The Viklander Menagerie". It depicts a goblin merchant, with hands full of odd magical trinkets, and a dragon on her head being chased by a variety of monsters. From an animated coinbag, flying mouths and a large goose hydra in the background. In the foreground of the image a variety of crate and boxes with more trinkets can be seen. At the top of the image the book title is written out. And at the bottom a logo with the text "pathfinder compatible" is seen. Digital painting of a landscape scene. In the distance a ruined cathedral spews out demons. In the middleground a large chimera demon summons a magic spell against an armoured witch in the foreground that is holding a morningstar and a flintlock gun Digital painting of three powerfull knight commanders charging forward. One of a orc cavalier with a glowing halo floating abover her head. Another of a ghostly lich controlling a horde of skeletons with a leash. The commander is a tiefling arcanist pulling lightning from a spellbook while a trio of dragons join her in the background

#portfolioday - vampiric edition!

I'd mentioned vampires below, so here's a look back at my illustrations inspired by Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'.

From acrylic paintings to tiny ink vignettes, I collected all of these in an art zine, available as a printed book and ebook. 🦇

www.evydraws.com/shop/
A wraparound cover illustration for 'Windows into Dracula', showing all the main cast, some as small figures in the background, with Mina and Jonathan Harker in more detail as we approach the foreground. Lucy and Count Dracula are on the front cover, with Lucy reaching out to the other characters, separated from her by the composition. Count Dracula lying in a coffin surrounded by draped satin cloth, and hands reaching in to subdue him. Each hand represents one of the main characters and holds a typical vampire eradication tool, from a wooden stake to garlic flowers. Lucy's hand is painted in a ghostly light blue, as she's already dead by this point of the story. Mina Harker's hand is at the center, as she holds the vampire down by his neck. Dracula is painted with cold gray skin and empty red eyes. A pencil drawing of Lucy Westenra, looking through a window frame which is shown as just empty white space compared to the shaded interior. She's holding a bright candle, her neck is marked by a vampire bite, and her eyes glow, hinting at a partial transformation. A tiny ink drawing with the subtitle 'Pen Pals', showing Mina Harker and Lucy Westenra reading letters, with some pages falling to the ground. Mina Harker has dark hair and looks sceptical, while Lucy has long blond waves and seems excited and happy.
