So, today I am here to address something that I am quite excited about (and drawing of course!) I am now going to be doing more words than pictures. I know, I will still add pictures, but since this is a blog, Gracie and I both feel like I should do blog posts with more words than pictures, if that makes sense. Also, I did change my profile picture! Do you guys like it? I know I like it for sure. 😊 I better stop talking, and get into the blog post now! LOL
So, Instead of using the animal jam art program... I decided to maybe change it up a bit and use a different program! The program I decided to use today is free and you don't have to download it, and it's called Sketchpad 5.1! If you want to do really realistic art, I'm not sure if I would recommend it, but otherwise I think it's a really great art program! Y'all should try it out, with parents permission of course!
First, I zoom in, in order to get the little details!
Then, I get a reference photo from a non-copyright website!
I'm gonna use this one!
Okay, now I am going to start off with the sky and ground!
Okay, so I just did a very plain outline of what the grass and sky might look like. Trust me, I'm going to add more detail!
See? I already added more detail! 😊
Okay, time to start sketching the elephant!
I always like to look at the structure of the elephant, and make sure that the reference photo is what I want.
Now, I begin sketching!
Okay! So far, I think this art is going really good so far. I really didn't expect it to be this easy, but it was!!! Obviously, it takes effort and time, and a whole lot of patience! Now it's just time to color it in. Should I do a crazy color, or normal? What do you guys think?
Crazy, or normal?
I pick normal (:
OKAY, I BEST GET COLORING NOW. XDDD
Oh wait! I didn't add trees. I'm going to do that now, and I will show you the final product!!!
This took less time than I thought. I would recommend this program, for sure!!!
Yay! This is the finished product! I don't quite like the ears, however they were really hard to see if I kept them the way they were, so I had to make them a little bit bigger. What do you guys think of the art? Also, does anybody have any tips? I could really use them. I've been trying to improve in my art, but I just can't!
Well, that's it for today guys. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! Bye!!!
Here's the Bible Verse!
Galatians 5:1 (KJV)
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
That is so cute! I can't seem to find the ears, though.

Thank you! I think it's super cute as well!
DeleteWow, your art is great! That elephant is so cute.
ReplyDeleteAwww! Thank you so entirely much! :)
DeleteHello, Housey Mousey!
ReplyDeleteI can share a few tips for you. I really like your elephant picture! I think that the ears should be a little bit bigger and you should outline the shape of the head a little bit so the ears and head looks separated. The eyes should be a little bit smaller, too. I also want to encourage you to try to shade the elephant a little bit with a darker gray. When I was your age, my elephant picture would've looked like a gray boulder standing on a plate of yellow cheese. Ha ha! You really did a fantastic job. <3
Ah, speaking of art reminds me of all of the art commissions I have to do. RIP.

Oh my gosh! You are soooo sweet! Thank you!!! That is going to help me so much. Haha! I'm sure it would've looked better than mine :O Thank you! XDDD, Commissions can be a handful sometimes, huh?
DeleteYou are so very welcome!
ReplyDeleteYep, I was almost done with a commission for someone and then my little sister comes along and scribbles on it. ;_; Now I have to do it all over again.
No way it would've looked better than yours! I was soo bad at drawing digitally!! >:O

DeleteNOOOOOO, I bet you were great! :O
