Put 4 but it's hard to place on this scale..
I can't visualize very well but it tends to vary and when I dream I'm pretty sure there's colour but hard to remember. Though that's definitely when images are most clear and I rarely reproduce that when I'm awake.
Drawing characters from books is super hard. I have no image of what they look like and will spend so much time tracking down descriptions online to reference.
Doing something original is a bit easier since I'll have a feeling of what I want to do. But it's usually one small part of the image I would want and I can't focus on it and anything else in the image at the same time to see what they look like together.
just curious : )

pls reply how much you feel your visualization impacts you, i am very interested to hear from 4s and 5s
(im a 2 or 3 btw not sure)
#references are so important but i used to hate needing them#though that was before i realised this was a thing#which makes them even more important to use if i want to draw anything realistic..#hopefully some of that made sense lol#lauren rambles

I've been wanting to get back into traditional art for ages. Finally decided to follow some tutorials to help me get back into it. Was so happy I ended up doing 2 paintings!
First was following a video by Joony Art (Sunset Lake) and the second by ColorByFeliks (Autumn Landscape)
#it was so nice being able to paint but not having to think of what i wanted to paint#been worrying so much about not being good at it since i havent painted in years at this point#and last attempts didnt go so well#learnt so much by following along their process even though there was no verbal instuction

I saw this dog sleeping with its head on a fence a while ago and had to draw them.
Forgot to post it until now.

Thought I'd post some of my favourite Inktober drawings so far. A lot are half finished due to being too tired.
I've gone for a bird-plant-bird rotation of drawings. All native to Aotearoa New Zealand.

what鈥檚 your clothing colour palette?
Sorry I have no idea how long this has been in my asks, I didn't seem to get a notification it was there until I happened to look.
I own a lot of blues and blacks but I'm trying to get more of other colours like red and green.
But I really don't know anything about styling, t-shirts and jeans will work just fine for me.

Well here is my attempt at Shallan's wedding dress.
If anyone wanted to read them my thoughts on why I came up with this design are below:
For the embroidery I tried to think of designs that would be accurate. So the panels on the skirt have joy, glory and laughter spren. Figured they would work with the occasion plus with her being radiant it has more meaning. For the sleeves I added vines alone the sides since Jah Keved is described as being known for being covered in vines and I wanted something to represent her nationality. I also added a pattern on the 'vest' to look like Pattern since I thought the makers of the dress might take inspiration from him also.
Speaking of the vest it really stumped me on what it would look like. All I had to go on was: "a golden vest draped over the shoulders". I tried to see if there was something from real life he used as inspiration but didn't have time to do much research. So that's what I ended up going with. I think it looks nice.
Doing the hair was tiring enough I didn't put much effort into the headdress I'll admit.

Day 7 Towntober: Park
Did a redraw of a photo I took in Hagley Park Christchurch while visiting a friend. Birds are two paradise ducks (P奴tangitangi) with their chicks. They're endemic to New Zealand.
[Image ID: A sketchy drawing of a footpath winding through a park. There are some trees planted beside the path with large branches with roughly painted leaves making the pathway more shaded. To the left of the path there is also a grassy incline down to a river. The river is hidden from view due to some two long leaf plants: flax and toetoe. Near the front of the path there are two adult ducks. One is lying down in the grass and is a very dark brown. The second duck is mid walk and has a light brown body and white head. To the left of the ducks are 3 ducklings which are light grey with a darker grey stripe down their back. End ID]
#might reblog to my other blog with the original picture if anyone wants to see it#it was such a beautiful day#inktober#inktober 2022#towntober#new zealand#art#new zealand birds

Day 6: Miscreant -Wayne
While it isn't the 6th here anymore it is still the 6th elsewhere.. plus I didn't want to miss this day.
Chose a beanie since we had a big dump of snow here in New Zealand yesterday which is really unusual this time of year. Especially after our warmest winter on record!
[Image ID: A bust drawing of a young man who has his head turned to his right. He has a wide smile with teeth showing. He has short dark hair and is wearing a beanie with a tuff ball at the top. He is also wearing a button-up shirt. The image is in black and white and is only lightly shaded. End ID]

Hey! I decided to make my own inktober promptlist since I can't find any that fits what I wanna work on this month
I present to you Towntober! Practice on the places you can find in a town, and if you want design one for your OCs! I tried to keep this prompt as neutral as possible so that you can personalize it to your tastes and style, so go wild!

Day 3: Glass
Okay had a super busy weekend but I'm finally starting cosmere inktober. Decided to challenge myself with drawing a jar filled with spheres.
[Image description: A digital drawing of a clear glass jar filled with diamond spheres from Brandon Sanderson's the Stormlight Archive. There are 11 light blue gemstones inside glass spheres in the jar that are glowing. The background is a dark dull brown and has a glow under the jar to indicate it sitting on a table End ID]
#I might end up finding a few other prompt lists to jump between to help with inspiration.#I'll reblog those lists also if I do#I do want to draw more but its been a while since I read the cosmere so its hard to think of things#inktober#cosmere inktober 22#cosmere inktober#cosmere#stormlight archive
