Daily Creativity: Real Life Ursula

Today’s piece is inspired by Lieutenant Cookies, she posted a photo of herself and indeed is the real life embodiment of Ursula, so of course I had to paint that.  Isn’t she just awesome?

I painted this on my iPad using ArtRage, I had a lot of fun mixing up the thickness of paints.

Another Love Your Body study, I looked for a photo that would have some different proportions from my other models in this series. I used the waster color settings on my iPad (in ArtRage, this app replicates traditional tools better than anything out there IMO) and it makes me wish I had layers when painting on my watercolor block. I may turn this into a physical watercolor, I’m not sure yet. Still, I’m liking this, I think my favorite part is her tummy. iPad painting.

I think I may be getting too comfortable with the Love Your Body pictures, but they make me feel good and I love drawing them. This is another photo I had saved from a long time ago, so if you recognize it let me know so I can credit.

In case you can’t tell, I don’t like using representational color, I love making figures different colors to evoke the mood I feel from them.

This is pencil, colored pencils, and outline in ink on paper.

Today’s painting is another love your body, I think this study will have to be worked on more, attempted a few times, the proportions are still a bit off, but I love this just the same.  I love how her middle roles and how she seems to be holding herself in a loving embrace, she loves her body.

This is a painting I did from an image I’ve had on my iPad for over a year, I really wanted to be able to paint it but the red sheets were so striking. Sadly I don’t have the source for the image to link to :( if you recognize it please let me know so I can fix that.

This is part of my Love Your Body series, basically celebrating the beauty of the human form.  Everyone is beautiful.

I’ve got a new stylus for my iPad (months old, but new this year and I haven’t talked about it yet) its a paint brush, and I just love it. It works so well and I feel like I have better control now.
