Digital Art

I used to do digital art a lot, but I think I just sort of gave up on it a while ago. That's kind of stupid, though, so I decided to just start practicing with it again. I still need a lot of work, but I think I've already improved a ton. I never understood using layers in coloring, but I found that I started using that idea just in my traditional art and it has gained so much depth comparing to the way I used to color things. It made it a lot easier to transfer my style through digital art too.  So here are some things I've done.
The top one (The Joker) is kind of super experimental and I don't know how happy I am with it, but it was fun.

M.C. Escher Inspired

This was just a little project we did in Painting last year. The idea was to draw something with no negative space. I, at first tried to tie everything together, but then I just kind of threw stuff together. It was super fun. I drew this all with different markers and then went over it with pencil.
It's on a 9" x 12" paper.

Redhead

This one started as a sketch that I wasn't actually thinking of finishing, but I did. I wanted--and still do want--to get a lot better at creating different skin colors with depth and variation. No one is the same when I look at people in reality and I want to show that through my artwork. Honestly, I stick to my default face/expressions a lot when I draw. I really want to get away from that.
Anyway, this person is sleeping just because people look so calm to me when their eyes are closed or they're looking down and I love that, but it's really hard for me to capture. I also love red hair a lot.
I did this in markers and colored pencils.
