Daily Creativity: Love Your Body guys!

Posted on March 3, 2015 by Nuchtchas

For this painting in the Love Your Body series I found inspiration from a gent on tumblr. Finding positive images of male figures is a lot harder than women, because in the body positive movement men are being left behind a bit. I try to be inclusive, so if you see an image that looks like something that would inspire me, please, send it along.

When looking for models I look for people who are in love with their bodies and happy, this fellow was perfect. Sadly the image wasn’t sourced, so if you recognize it, let me know, it was a black and white photo with the words “I’m done being ashamed” and I just loved it.

Painted on my iPad using the ArtRage app with the oil paint settings and brushes. Painted on 3/2/2015.

Today marks the first day of #ArtMonth, and yesterday was the last day of Fatshion February. Each week during Fatshion February I have drawn a fashion sketch, this is this week’s. Painted in watercolor in ArtRage on my iPad. 3/1/2015

I hope you all join me in some way to celebrate Art Month, for each day, create something. Share it, and I will share it for you too!

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body, Full Body Project Style

Posted on March 1, 2015 by Nuchtchas

I told you I would use the Full Body Project for inspiration for my Love Your Body series. Here it is. I feel like the photo Nimoy composed is directly inspired by Botticelli’s the Fates, which is a classic. I enjoyed painting this and chose to make the outside fates in primary colors and the central one as the secondary color they make when mixed. Painted in watercolors in ArtRage on my iPad. 2/28/2015

Daily Creativity: Live Long, and Prosper.

Posted on February 28, 2015 by Nuchtchas

If you were on social media tonight you would have read that everyone’s Grandpa, Leonard Nimoy has passed, as well as Maurice Hurley (a writer from Star Trek). It hit pretty hard because I’m a trekkie, Spock was my friend, Nimoy was the actor. I had known he was getting involved in photography, but didn’t realize he was the photographer behind the Full Body Project, a project that is near and dear to my heart. One of the pictures was an inspiration for my Love Your Body series. So this is in tribute to him, to the effect his character had on me, and everything. I may be using his photos as inspiration for more paintings too. Painting in ArtRage on the iPad. 2/27/2015

Daily Creativity: Stella & lil Nutty, my friend fiction

Posted on February 26, 2015 by Nuchtchas

I have a friend who is a special kid, her name is Stella. She has suffered from some bullies and had a more challenging childhood already. I have told her about my experiences with bullies as a form of encouragement and “It gets better.” The reactions this wonderful child has had always amaze me. She has a great supportive family too, which makes her very lucky. When talking with her mom I said that had there been a kid like Stella in my school I would have had at least one really awesome friend. We’d be this awesome pair, and so I had to draw it. This is called “Friend Fiction” (Thank you Tina Belcher for that term), it’s like fan fiction, only about real people. I hope Stella likes this.
