Here I am. I completed a whole stunning load of /two/, I repeat /two/ pieces of digital art and I deemed it appropriate to dupe them into a bragging thread.

What to know about my art:
- I've been using pens for quite a while now. Fountain pens, mostly, my flagship one's a gold plated Parker Sonnet with a fine nib, and I use a coarse nib Parker Urban for most of the shading.
- I never ever considered doing art as a business or as a profession. All my pen art, without exception, was done into exercise books (about 70% to Hungarian literature, 20% to German Folklore and 10% to German Literature).
- We did organise a lovely exhibit in our school though with my art teacher and some fellow pen-sketchers. That was fun.


Lookie here for some of my pen art:

More recently though I dove into digital art. What does that mean? I can finally /undo/ my lines. Holy gosh, now that's something! I can also use colours, yaaay! (The above pictures are greyscale versions of black-pen drawings). Also, I haven't got any drawing gadgets (yet?), so all of the digital stuff is done with a gamer mouse, aided by tweaked settings.

So what do I draw?

Charlotte. That's it, I drew my character two times, and that's all my digital art venture so far. Feel free to critique, feel free to discuss.

A first attempt, where I forgot layers existed!

And my second attempt, which is kind-of a WIP awaiting textures and shading, based off a lovely doll maker on dolldivine:

Experimented with shading and some new hair textures. I'm rather satisfied.
