Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

Love-Your-Body-16sm4/7/2014
This is a bit messy, but I like it messy sometimes.  This Love Your Body piece isn’t inspired by one photograph but a collection of them.  I created this without the use of of a model.  I like how the quick lines and subtle color creates some emotion in this piece.

Daily Creativity: Pear Shaped?

Pear Shaped? We’ve all heard it before. Are you a pear shape? An apple shape? You’re neither. You’re person shaped. People come in different shapes and sizes, we aren’t apples, we aren’t pears, we’re people. You may remember me doing an apple shape painting last year.

I made this using watercolor and blending marker mode in ArtRage on my iPad, it’s pretty neat being able to mix mediums without the hassle of waiting for something to dry.

I haven’t been able to do many creations this week, between a huge travel day and a nightmare of delays, then a full work week where I was only getting three hours of sleep a night, which resulted in me getting sick, it’s just been a nightmare.  When talking to me husband on the phone about my mood he said “Have you been keeping up with your daily creativity?” I said what time do I have, but his point was valid, even with the little time I had, not creating was taking another toll on me, a mental one.

Also Art Month is over, but lent continues, so these will come pretty regularly till easter.

Daily Creativity: Circle of Love Your Body

This Love Your Body piece was inspired by this post on tumblr. I expect to use this base photo again, I just love it so much.  Love these ladies dancing in a circle with so much joy.  I drew this using the graphic pens in ArtRage on my iPad.

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body – Men need love too

I have been trying to work in some males into the Love Your Body series, but there are a lot less images out there to work from, which makes me sad. If you have any great photos of round men please send them my way.  This one was inspired by this image.  I know it’s not perfect, it’s just a quick pastel study.
