Horn lady

The past few days I've been trying to develop a new technique involving paint.
I had some successes and some failures.
I still can't blend acrylic as smoothly as I would like to.

All this playing around on little bits of paper is fun and making my desk a mess, but it's not really improving my art.

So I needed to draw something!

And here is what I've been working on today.....

It's an image that just kinda popped out of my head when I was doodling in bed, with my natural history book open :)

Hope you like!

Whales and Wales

So I've recently moved house to Wales.

Its been good, it was pretty much the only place in the UK that it didn't snow, no building snowmen for me :(
So for the past few days it has been raining non stop!

And the weather isn't nice warm rain like in the Med, its horrid windy rain that blows your umbrella inside out and the hood off your head.

So here is my illustration of it raining whales, or sky whales.

 
Different from my other stuff more simplistic and children's booky :)

Brave Illustration

Hay everyone!

The past few months have been really hectic, from peter breaking his arms to moving house.

Finally I've gotten all settled in, and a lovely desk set up. :)

I'm not one of those lucky people that can work anywhere, I like having my space and desk with me in the centre surrounded with all my arty things.

So I drew an image of Merida and Mom bear from Brave. I really love that film,  it has to be one of my fave Pixar films.

Here are some work in progress shots
I tend to post these more on my instagram profile for convenience, if you have instagram check me out, my username is Ellenstration.

Now for the art work!!!

My finished work done with mixed media.
Taken on my phone so sorry about the quality, I can't get the hang of photographing my work.

Girl a day

Here is another girl, still trying to better myself as an artist.
Hope you like this quick doodle xx

Beast with Objects

A short post today.

Here is Beast with all his objects in his hair.

I'm pleased on how this turned out.

The Head of Beast

After all those doodles and unfinished drawings of Beast's head I did draw one I liked. Woot Woot!


So here he is....

You may have noticed I like sketching in blue pencil, I find it helps me keep the drawings cleaner. :)

The next part I had problems with was how to make the hair flow like Snow White's.

Here Are some more funny looking drawings of me trying to sort that out.

This I have named Snake Beast as well he looks like a snake, don't worry I fixed him. I think I just got carried away with drawing all his hair.

Yay this is finished Beast now next is all the objects from his story.

I hope you like him

Beast Doodles

So once Snow White was out of the way I moved onto the tale, "Beauty and the Beast" one of my favourite stories in all its many forms.

I was going to do Belle but in the original story she wasn't described very much or at all, and I wanted to stay away from doing Disney fan art. 
So I thought I should mix it up and do Beast instead.


Here are my doodles and drawings of me trying to figure out what the hell I wanted Beast to look like.
I know I wanted him furry so I looked at tons of lions, but I wanted him to be quite mythical so crazy horns and snake tongues was the way forward!

These images would normally be shoved in a deep dark draw somewhere but some made me giggle specially the one where he looks like a ghost, so I thought I'd share them with you too.
Because everyone needs a giggle.

The Little Mermaid

Here is the line art for The Little Mermaid image I'm working on.

I've been so busy that I haven't posted any images of Beast or the finished illustration of Snow White.

But very soon I will post all of what I've been working on.
