Scribble Man
Digital doodlings
Recently I shared with you a digital drawing that I had created of a girl, this portrait I called 'Scribbled Girl'. This next piece of work is a response to that image, this new portrait is called 'Scribbled Man'. Why the use of red in both portraits? I imagined the figures to be stood in a city street, the red neon lights of the signs in the windows bathing their faces in red light.
Scribbled Girl
The process
To begin the process of creating the 'Scribble Man' I made a sketch using my graphics tablet and pen. Using a graphics editor I built up layers of colour and line.
The final outcome
'Scribble Man'
Wonderful drawings @opheliafu. I looked at DADA for the first time yesterday after reading @alexandravart's post on DADA. After trying the tools myself I have an even greater appreciation of a these drawings than I would have had previously.
Absolutely love the collaborative aspect of DADA. Love the piece you responded to Carolina Bermudez with. The bird's nest with the eyes looking up to the bird's legs and feet is absolutely stunning. My favourite image at DADA.
Looking forward to being able to join your visual conversations just as soon as I reach 200 ~ And get used to using the DADA tools. Just using my mouse I'm having the same challenges that Alex described ie pointed lines that were meant to be curved.
So it's really timely to see your article, because I see you're using a graphics tablet and pen. Will have to get one now. 🦋
I need to see the artwork you are referring too and maybe reply to it :P I love this kind of doodles scribbles, it is pure expression
The link for the conversation is: https://dada.nyc/sh/tH_6M27U and this was Ophelia's image I was referring to. I think you'll love it too. 🦋
Yay! I saw you on there, I'm waiting for you to get drawing ;D A few of us Steemians are doodling together on DADA.
I wonder if we can share some of our drawings on our Steemit blogs- we will have to check with DADA?
It takes a while to get used to the drawing tools, and not having layers, but I'm actually starting to like the simplicity of the tools- it makes me rethink about how I lay down line and colour. I got my graphics tablet about a year ago, but it's only really with DADA that I have picked it up and started to experiment more with digital drawing. I would also recommend playing around with the opacity settings of the brushes, and using the eraser to work into blocks of colour.
I love the idea of sharing our 'doodles' on DADA at Steemit. Feel that DADA and Steemit can really compiment each other and can't really see that DADA would object. As far as I know, DADA wouldn't have exclusivity of an artist's imagery. Hope it's not in the fine print, now that I've said that. 😊
I've been experimenting with the tools again today. Love the transparent effects you can achieve with the opacity tool. And love the effects of using the rubber to cut back into colours too.
Have an old model ipad, just need to buy a digital pen for it. Been looking the Wacom tablets. If only. 🙏
Till I have the pen, I'll play with the dots. Hoping to join you and Alex really soon Ophelia. 🦋
I have a wacom too and don't know if I could do without it, when I bought my wacom (some years ago) it was one of very few options on the market and very expensive, people say is the best but still too expensive in my view , so I think you should look at other smaller brands too
The top of the range wacoms look amazing. Being able to purchase one a few years ago sounds like it was a really good investment.
Will be on my Wishlist for now. Hopefully the apple pen will be enough to start DADA with. If not, I'll go to a few stores to see what other options there are. 🙏
be ok for now. I worked with computer graphics with an Amiga computer when
DaDa allows us to share our drawings on other social platforms, so sure you can share on steemit, I have tree posts already about my dada drawings, the only thing I am not sure about is sharing the parts of the drawing that are not painted by you, and I am very inclined to share the progression on one of the drawings I started and was continued by other amazing artists. I love how everyone used the same colors and theme "Gustav Klimt" but the entire collection looks 1000 times better than just my piece
Your piece is amazing.
I'm still working out how to share my DADA on twitter as it only wants to tweet the link address for me- do you copy and paste the image address too when you post?
on twitter I shared only the links, dough I think dada shared more from my work than me :)) I am really not that into social media except steemit and now dada, but yes you can copy the image and share it separately too
The share for Twitter gives the link for the whole conversation. I tried to find a way to get a link for the individual image but couldn't. So I had to capture Ophelia's image in order to share it here.
Yes, the collaboration around your work is amazing Alex. I love how new ideas can be generated when we run with something that someone else has done. Ideas that may not have come to us otherwise. Such a rewarding process for all.
the problem with sharing the entire conversation on steemit (apart from twitter)is that on steemit I will be collecting rewards, so it will be like a commercial purpose almost, but my hope is that the artists there will join steemit too and we can split post rewards :D
I absolutely love process posts. I'm not very artsy, so I love to see each of the steps an artist took to create their piece.
You've been upvoted & resteemed by the #LadiesofSteemit curation initiative. Keep up the great work! 🎈
Thank you so much for the resteem - that is awesome!
Love the man and those strokes!!! This I would love to see in a large physical format on some wall! Maybe mine XD
Happy you are liking the work ,thank you very much - and great doodling this week by the way!
You are welcome and thank you...looking forward to more of your contests, I love the words play. My favourite way of inspiration! :)
Beautiful sketch dear friend @opheliafu very creative, congratulations
I wish you a beautiful nights
I hope you and your family have had a lovely weekend @jlufer
So cool! It reminds me of a crime scene somehow, maybe for the colors and the empty look in the eyes of "Scribble Man". He could be a sociopath... or is he the victim?
a picture that is really amazing and very cool I salute this because I like to draw but the picture is always not right @opheliafu
Beautiful art! good concept, your publications and contests are very good!
Thank you, glad you are enjoying the blog @monteri2172
:D
I love the art, this is amazing and I can see the level of creativity you applied in the art. Congrats
Hmm they fit so well now
