Digital art is one of my favourite mediums to use, my personal favourite programme is IbisPaintX which I have access to via my tablet.
GIF
As I am very familiar with Ibis I decided to create a series of simple images that I could then collect into a gif using an added feature of my gallery app.
​
I may attempt a more complex gif in the near future but I thought this was sufficient for a first attempt at a gif!
​
I quite like how bold and colourful this is, I think it aids the simplicity and blockishness of the movement in the gif.
Mother-In-Law's Tongue (Study)
This was an experimental piece that was drawn from a Dracaena Trifasciata (a.k.a. a Mother-In-Law's Tongue) that I keep in my studio space. This had originally been part of a study to assist me with my painting project but I really liked this sketch so I turned it into a finished piece.
​
It was quite an experimental piece, there was detail added without requiring or using an outline, and rather than use my typical way of adding shading, I used a softer brush and played around with the opacity to create a fairly smooth texture, which adds to a further degree of faux-realism than I would generally include.
I'm very happy with the outcome of this piece and hope I can successfully use these techniques again.
