Colorful Sketch of 2 Ostriches

From time to time I like to sketch different stuff from my usual pet art and landscape paintings. This time I want to sketch 2 cute ostriches, mother and son to wash the sketch with digital watercolor. I think the end result is adorable, I already put it on my Redbubble Shop.- feel free to check it out.
Here's the new sketch on some throw pillows, as always you can get it on other products as well.

Duck Painted in Digital Oil

Earlier this month, my stylus pen was broken, and I couldn't use it anymore. It slowed my workflow and I had to order a new one. I waited for the package for 3 weeks, but finally it arrived and the first thing I did is taking for a test drive. Here's the result :)

If you like the painting, you can find it on my Redbubble shop. Here's an example of the piece on a tote bag.

The Jolly Eagle

I have a lot of digital painting softwares, the most complicated of them is Corel Painter. You really have to work hard in order to create a painting in comparison to the other painting softwares, but once you get it you can really find some cool features in it. One of those features are Thick Paint brushes. I wanted to created something bold and intense, something with thick textures and visible brush strokes. So I took the boldest thing around - a bald eagle! I really love the background in this one, the dark reds and blues make the subject to pop :)

As always you can get the painting on my Redbubble Shop on multiple products, here are 2 of them

Delicate Flamingo in Watercolor

Here is a delicate and lovely painting of a flamingo that I created a few months ago, I just love the whole atmosphere in that painting - The paint splashes the mist and the dreamy atmosphere.
The color scheme as well is in soft pastel hues - so calm and relaxing!

Dreamy Flamingo

Blue Parrot Sketch - "Polly"

Hi there,

Lately I decided to keep on practicing with new mediums and different kinds of portraits. Usually I paint dog portraits, and regular "human" ones :) I already sketched and painted, lizards, giraffes, flies and cats in the past month. The other day I wanted to sketch a parrot, just a quick little one. When I looked at the result I wanted to throw it away, it was just for practice. But I didn't. I decided to watercolor the sketch,  to give some life to the bird. I thought that the result was cute and funny, very lively if you will... I wanted that the viewer will feel happy and optimistic, while looking at it. What do you think, can you feel it?

If you like the painting, you can purchase a quality print of it - right here.

Digital Art - The Hummingbird

Hi there !

Many of us need to complete a task, finish an assignment, or just to be creative. Sometimes we just can't get it right. Our mind wanders to other places, and the muse been gone away. We know we NEED to do something, or to get it done, but the more we try, it looks more and more difficult. In these cases, sometimes it's better to relax, and to leave the assignment for a while. Go for a walk, drink a glass of wine and listen to music or just go to sleep. When your mind is relaxed - the muse/solution will come to visit.

It happened to me the other day, I felt like I have to create something, but I had no idea what to do. I was so frustrated and tired, so I decided to take a nap. While I was sleeping, I visioned a tattoo styled hummingbird, with red flames all over. I was so excited! Woke up immediately and decided to create it right away.

While I was drawing the sketch and experimenting with colors and tones, I've found out that I am going to do a little twist. The hummingbird will stay, but the colors and the atmosphere will be completely different. The hummingbird wanted to have it on its own terms, and made me paint it with vibrant psychedelic colors, in a green and tropical background.

I loved the result, and now I am thinking of making a whole series of tropical birds.


That's it for now :)
