Here it is: The finished portrait of Tori Amos! I needed a deep black to keep the contrast and then I saw my bottle of black Indian ink. If you never did any wet-on-wet experiments with ink, then just try it. It's totally worth it
I never really tell much about my taste in music. It's just as irregular as my moods. But at some moment this year, I realized that I simply have to do a portrait of Tori Amos. I picked a concert photo to work with. Her way of performing, melting with the piano, it's just incredible. But there was one problem to solve: The background.⁠ ________⁠ Редко заявляю о своих музыкальных предпочтениях, хотя почти у всех моих работ есть свой саундтрек. В какой-то момент я поняла, что мне просто необходимо сделать портрет Тори. После долгих поисков я выбрала одно концертное фото. Но вот незадача: Как не испортить фон?⁠ ⁠
I already showed this painting in the stories last week. Something went terribly wrong with the paper, you can see that in the area around the face. It's just a mess. It’s not even the first piece of paper that I had to say goodbye to. But @cottonbro on Pexels is my new love and that is why I’ll do it again, even bigger, even better! _____________ Я эту незаконченную картину показывала в сториз на той неделе. Что-то пошло не так, очень сильно не так. Лицо превратилось в кашу, всё из-за порченой бумаги. Но ребята @cottonbro делают такую офигенную работу, что я решила: Будет больше, будет круче, причём намного!
Let's mix things up a bit. How about some graphite work? Not my regular sketches that look like someone spilled black spaghetti on the floor and forgot to clean it up. Something draws me to drawing this year (pun intended). Why did I choose legs as a study object? I have no idea! The master study exercise of François Boucher was really fun to do! Took me half my Sunday morning, but it was worth it.⁠ -----------------⁠ Разбавим акварельный контент карандашным рисунком. Почему ноги? Не знаю, мне всегда нравились ноги. Очень интересно было проработать рисунок по эскизу Франсуа Бушера, случайно найденного на просторах Пинтереста. Потратила половину воскресного дня на это, но оно того стоило.⁠
Coming back pt. II 😊 The final result turned out very sketchy. I had to find back into painting, anyway, anyhow. This year has been full of artistic ups and downs and I'd say this one was on the lower side. But it was a start.⁠ -----------------⁠ Идем дальше. Набросок мне нравился больше, чем результат, но надо было начать. Начало после перерыва далось нелегко. Этот год вообще нестабильный выдался и это я только насчет своих творческих проблем говорю. Но вперед и с песней. Иначе как? ⁠
Hello again! I decided it's been waaay too long that I've been gone from the Instagram world. Thank you, everyone, who still watched my stories and chatted with me through DMs. You know, who you are and you're AWESOME! So... let's start? I remember that when I sketched this, I just wanted to relax. I didn't have that much to do in those days when I just had moved and there was barely anything to keep myself busy during the long summer evenings.⁠ -------------⁠ Думаю, что давно пора было мне вернуться в этот виртуальный мир Инстаграма. Спасибо всем, кто смотрел сториз, болтал со мной в директе о том и о сём, кто добавлял лайки и комментарии... Начнём-с? Скетч напоминает мне о тех летних вечерах, когда я только переехала, много вещей было ещё у родителей и заняться-то особо нечем было. Только склейка бумаги, карандаш и малая часть моих красок.⁠ ⁠
