Adah

Blue is my favourite colour. I find it soothing, cooling, calming. I also have a long history of severe depression and blue is, of course, the colour associated with sadness. Today I am feeling blue (post-election blues after yesterday’s UK election) and it felt right to draw a blue portrait. It so happens that Sktchy is having a Blue Portrait Party this week, which gave me even more of a reason to draw a blue portrait. So here is Adah looking much paler and bluer than she does in the inspiration photo!

I drew Adah on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using the Procreate app.

Dayris

This is the lovely Dayris. In the Sktchy inspiration photo she is standing in front of amazing floral wallpaper. I didn’t want to even attempt to recreate that paper. Instead I created my own patterned background using some floral digital stamps I made for another project.

I drew Dayris’ portrait on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using the Procreate app, Lisa Bardot’s Copicat brushes and my own digital stamps.

Lauren

This is Sktchy muse Lauren. I drew her in Procreate using Lisa Bardot’s wonderful gouache brushes. I’ve uploaded a short Procreate timelapse video of my drawing process on my YouTube channel – if you’re interested you can view it here.

Bailey

I drew this portrait of Bailey on my iPad Pro using the Procreate app and Lisa Bardot’s pencil box brushes.

Scout in colour

I drew Scout in black and white a few days ago for Inktober. I knew when I drew her that I would add colour at some point to that portrait. So here is that same portrait but with colour added in Procreate. She looks older than she should, which is one of the reasons I don’t often draw children – yes, I’m one of those artists who always manages to age children when I draw or paint them.

I added colour on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil in the Procreate app using Lisa Bardot’s gouache brushes and the Procreate luminance brushes.

Hannah

This is Sktchy muse Hannah. I drew her on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using the Procreate app and Lisa Bardot’s wonderful Copicat brushes.

I’ve uploaded a Procreate timelapse video of my drawing process to my YouTube channel – if you’d like to watch it you can view it here.

Giada

Experimenting with a more painterly approach in this portrait of Sktchy muse Giada. I drew this on my iPad Pro using a Blackwing Pencil brush and Lisa Bardot’s Gouache brushes.

Cody

Cody is one of my favourite Sktchy muses and he’s always a pleasure to draw. I drew this on my iPad Pro with Lisa Bardot’s watercolour brushes.

Jerel

I’m part of a closed Facebook group called Old Skool Sktchy where we set the group weekly art challenges (called weekly art extravaganzas or WAX challenges, an idea taken from challenges that used to be set in Sktchy but have been retired). This week’s challenge, tagged #OSSWAXCosplay if you want to find the entries in Sktchy, is the theme cosplay. And this is my entry – Jerel dressed as Link.

I drew this on an iPad Pro with a 2nd Gen Apple Pencil using the Procreate app and Lisa Bardot’s Copicat brushes.
