Mostly violet and pale yellow in color, it shows two Mongol women from the era of Genghis Khan standing in a room being transformed into another world by strange energies from the fallen head of a statue.

For example, I assume straight lines across the top of the bag even though they are far from straight and flow with the very top, which makes the top section look strange. Also, the chair’s bottom is the widest part of the image, yet I did the side edges of the chair as my wide point

Worked on a little sketch of my bag today. Struggled mightily but glad I got out there and put something down as it’s been awhile! I need to focus on measuring more and truly drawing what I see. I’m still sort of just trying to wing it through parts instead of slowing down. #learningtodraw #art

Another daily sketch and playing around with colour, trying to get a grasp on watercolours. This is just printer paper so it’s not great but fun to explore! Landscape from imagination and the tissue box from life. I’m happy with the tissue but lots to improve on with the box. #dailysketch #learnart

I’m not home right now and can’t remember the book, but when I get back in I’ll share it! Overall I think the petals on the last sketch look the best, but I feel the centre of the daisy is better in both of the previous sketches, particularly in the use of negative space Happy creating everyone!

Picked up a book on watercolor florals after countless videos watching @jamesgurneyart.bsky.social use it so beautifully. I figured florals were a fun way to start (and not so intimidating). Here’s the process from sketch, printer paper, then on water colour paper #learningart #art #watercolour

Initial sketch of floral with notes breaking down some mistakes and issues. The sketch was initially in pencil then overdrawn with a fine-tip pen.

Another sketch of the daisy, this time I attempted to put some water colour down, it is a mess and way over saturated. There are some long blades of grass and some attempts at buttercups.

Daisy with yellow paint dabbed lightly across the petals and in the centre. No background, stem, or any other parts

Another drawing from life, the old rotting bird house out front. And the quick little landscape drawing with an attempt at a reflection You can see the line practice mixed in too. I’d like to draw more as I’m not committing enough time and would like to improve faster #learningart #art #learntodraw

Another sketch where I tried to include a bit more beyond just the rocks. The perspective on the lake/water in the background is very off but I liked how the stone wall turned out.

Sketch of a wall of boulders with a mountain rising in the background, covered in trees and a lake that is way out of perspective.

Tried some work from reference. Choices abound when searching “cool rocks.” Tried out a thumbnail, will work on being lighter and looser as I explore the forms. Tomorrow I’m going to try some drawing from life and see how that goes!

A craggy rock formation drawn in ink, with a miniature version drawn in the bottom corner as a trial/practice to get the flow.

Last day at the lake and some more rock drawings!

Large boulders and rocks drawn in pencil with the view of a lake in the background beyond the sketchbook. One boulder has some markings on it indicating some sort of magical connection

One large rock looking almost alien sureounded by further formations, looks like a place a great importance. A view of a pristine lake in the background above the sketchbook

Lewlowned @lewlowned.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Here’s some more work with rocks! These are from imagination as I want to get more comfortable drawing in general My next goal is to focus much more on reference to start to understand better how the world truly looks Funny how we can spend our whole lives looking around without ever really seeing

A few boxes, a rock formation, and some sort of summoning stone all drawn in pencil with light shading. The boxes are meager attempts at perspective but clearly I need to study that more.

Another day of the learning process! Some more basic shapes and scribbles. Struggling to draw solid shadows and contour lines. I think I need to do more from reference less from my mind at this point. In the top right corner are some faint boulders, which are fun to draw. More tomorrow!
