Just messing around with watercolour.
Practicing with my alcohol makers on one of my favourite subjects – chickens! (and roosters, and pretty much any bird)
Painted in Procreate on my iPad with default brushes – my first one of the year, but hopefully not the last! Since I don’t like what DeviantART has become I’ve decided to post them here instead.
I’ve never used alcohol markers before, because the ‘good’ ones are *really* expensive. Then I saw a bunch of reviews for these Ohuhu ones, all of which are reasonably priced, along with some sketch books that they were selling, and I decided why not.
I’m not used to doing traditional art any more, but there’s just something about having your hands on a physical item (a book, a tool, etc) that feels GOOD to my brain, so when I can, I do like to try. Unfortunately my hands don’t always like to listen, but that’s OK. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Screenshot above is me practicing for the first time with these new markers. They’re fun!
I’m experimenting this year with parfait yarn and making plushies, in crochet. Here’s my very first one that I made back in January – a chicken named Mabel.
