Concentration: Serpent in Shackles/Old Theater Bird

 I drew this digitally with my tablet originally, but I printed out the sketch and traced it onto my marker paper in pen and then colored it with a combination of marker-pen and colored pencils for the final image. There's a lot of things I don't like about this image, but one thing I do like is the contrast of the silvery blue and the brown. I learned from this piece that drawing chains is a pain in the butt.
  • This was very simple to draw. After a sketching session with pencil, I just drew over it in pen and then shaded it with my marker-pens. I tossed and turned over the background, but in the end I am very pleased with my decision.












I am working from home now because of medical issues that caused me to have to be taken out of school, which was making my condition immensely worse. So I have to apologize for the quality of these pictures and the rest of my portfolio to come.
