I chose to create this sketch in colored soft pastels. In my life drawing class we had worked with color and the figure but it was always a challenge for me to really grasp it so I wanted to take the chance to work on that with this sketchbook. The inspiration for this was a watercolor image I found on istockphoto.com. It was created by Isabelle Z.-Finet, a German artist born in 1974. You can see some of her work at www.meine-art.com, but unfortunately it is all in French and German.
This is a charcoal sketch...unfinished. I chose to do a lot of my sketch book in charcoal drawings. When doing art work that is outside of the computer my favorite medium is charcoal. I took a life drawing class at Fredonia a year ago and fell in love with it. In a lot of my work I typically use a grayscale color palette and I think that is why I am also attracted to the look of charcoal drawings.
This ink drawing was inspired by a French artist named Lotie. I discovered her work in a UK magazine called Computer Art. She uses a lot of simple line draws but adds a lot of small detail. A lot of her work involves these types of drawings mixed with computer art that have beautiful color gradations. I wanted to try to use this artist as an influence on my work to help push the organic an simplistic feel for art. You can see Lotie's awesome work at www.lotie.com
