Yvonne:

What made you want to become an artist?

What made you want to become an artist?
I am an artist like with chalk and with the pencil and I really thought that I like to experience something else too and when I first joined and saw all the gorgeous arts in here I thought I wanted to do something like that as well...

Tina

Ooh! Could you post some of your chalk and pencil artworks?

looking at the stars

I can show you two "paintings" right away and because I am moving I already packed my art stuff to bring it to the new apartment I'll unpack my folder tomorrow

The only oil painting I haven't packed so far The beach one was a birthday present for a friend...

seriously don't judge my pencil drawings from this two... because there is a difference when I later make it oil painting...


the very bad pencil drawing... i made it to see how it should look like


without the background and not ready on the frog


with the red background and fixes eyes



The pencil drawing before...


without the actual beach and waves and ocean


almost done


really done

Tina

Wow!!!

Those are amazing, Yvonne! I never knew you had such talent with that stuff! Your awesome with it!

PrettyAn

Uhh I really like the Kermit painting!
(Even though I've always found the muppets rather scary.. there is just something scary about the mouth moving and the eyes completely fixed.. well what I meant to say is that your painting isn't like that at all )

What inspires you? For example nature? People? Just things you like?

looking at the stars

Thanks so much Yeah Tina, sometimes even I have to keep a little mystery around myself

And thanks so much I love doing them, but I lately haven't found the time to do some more... Need to make pics of the ones that are at my grans She has some of mine...

and finally tonight I have some more time to unpack some bags and see if I can find the folder

Kermit was my fav character and I love frogs in general so it was an easy decision who to paint But I won't have the space to hang him up in my new apartment

What inspires you? For example nature? People? Just things you like?

I am lately inspired by everything related to Twilight, even if I don't do a Twi art than I use my ideas on other things... But that is more PS art related...

I take pictures too and there I am inspired by people... I love to take different emotions and moments and especially I am inspired by the people that I do love!

In general music inspires me... Whenever I am painting, drawing or mkaing arts, my stereo is so loud that I am sure people around me would wanna kill me

PrettyAn

uhh.. I totally get that

You haven't posted any of photos here on FF?

looking at the stars

I have once posted some photos... From fish especially... you wanna see some photos?

Tina

I don't know if I remember those, Yvonne... could you post 'em to refresh our memories?

PrettyAn

I couldn't find any on the photography thread.. but I would love to see them.

looking at the stars

PrettyAn

Oh wow!

I really like the ones with the jellyfish!

looking at the stars
