Surreal Art Contest

<center>I haven't drawn anything in a long time. I've seen a lot of art contests here and haven't found the time to submit something new for them. The opportunity to get into drawing again came in the form of an art party we had with @manouche, @karunya, a friend called Alex and his brother, Basil. We got together for a night of artistic synergy to spend some time just creating stuff. This contest hosted by @sethlinson seemed ideal as a lot of my past doodles have been surreal in nature to some extent. I'm not yet talented enough to replicate the things I see in my mind. I sort of reverse-engineered this drawing using things that I could draw and combined them to form a surreal piece.</center>

# <center>The Process</center> #

![IMG_20180120_232312.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWBDijKf4Ze5Y43ppWexUeroabzMCZC359Q8vVVVSV4wY/IMG_20180120_232312.jpg)

<center>I start by drawing out a base with pencil. It's done freehand to roughly mark out shapes.</center>

![IMG_20180121_003315.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTvocaqcZH2HPc6s9KLhHFSKNmNPyQkuJhaE1RxyV3hFm/IMG_20180121_003315.jpg)

<center>I then ink out the pencil lines with different line thicknesses and add a base layer of colour.</center>

![IMG_20180121_034552_01_01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ9TT6BrqYTG4XEcMnTxeFDcyqUT8Vz1i5njjjnTCadFE/IMG_20180121_034552_01_01.jpg)

<center>I then work on the smaller areas within the pen outlines to add detail.</center>

![IMG_20180121_092127 (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWCf2wWrgjeSxD4TpcZ5pSn5vjMb97V9w7G42ZfXpBs9W/IMG_20180121_092127%20(1).jpg)

<center>I then work on the colouring, using different media. I'm still getting used to using colour and didn't spend too much time on blending and perfecting the background.  A few final touches later, the piece is finished.</center>

<center>I would've added more detail but spent the entire art party on just this. It was a lot of fun drawing though and we had a really successful art party.</center>

# <center>The media</center> #

<center>I didn't use everything here, but this is all the art stuff we had as outlets for our creativity.</center>

<center>If you like art, you should also check out
the awesome drawdiction project @manouche is doing on her blog.
 She also did this awesome pastel portrait while I was getting surreal. </center>

![Untitled-2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZLPXAsg3NESHfZD16hm3kAFVBf78rMeMPf8E5sBCWNJo/Untitled-2.png)

<center> @karunya is busy juggling her dance and writing job and is also an excellent blog to check out for an abundance of creativity.</center>

<center>Alex and Basil aren't on steemit yet, but will hopefully consider joining this global art party.</center>

pretty awesome @soulturtle!  Really like the little eyeball crawlers and the blocks/buildings.  Hope you get to work on it some more :)

Much love - Carl

Thank you, Carl. I hope I can eventually reach the stage where I can pen down the stuff I see in my head. It needs a lot of practice and dedication but hopefully I'll reach there someday!

Thanks, Ker! Would've been better with some more time, but not bad for a night's work.

Yeaah for sure! Art parties need to be a thing. Your work is really incredible and deserves a lot more views and updoots than they're getting :) And shh, it's an excellent portrait for a 5 minute free draw.

This is super cool... you got the process, the story, and a slamdunk piece of art... I am particularly fond of the pile of noses! I mean, eyeballs are my thing, but sometimes all they see is my nose, so...

Also, my creative process went through a revolution last year, when I discovered acrylic paint markers... My favorite brand is by MOLOTOW from Germany...

Thank you! Dude, this little snippet you shared here is also so surreal. I need to be drawing more. Such little time, so many things to do. Paint markers sound like a lot of fun to use. Someday perhaps I'll buy a lot of stationary and just crank out stuff through more art jams.

Art parties are the best! This is probably the best complement I've got. Dali and Escher are masters of their craft. Thanks for the praise, good sir.

I would love to get together with friends and just try to create without any kind of self imposed restrictions or expectations.  I have friends who see themselves as musicians and wouldn’t dare pick up a pen, or paint, and others who are the opposite.  I’d like to try to bring them together and get everyone just creating.  I will have to try!

Your style is really great!

I've always kinda felt that I haven't focused on any one creative outlet. A Jack of all trades, average at  different stuff without excelling in any one thing. It could be both good and bad, but it is what it is. Having fellow creative people around really makes a difference though. Atmosphere matters. You should definitely host an art party for that synergy in creativity. Thanks for dropping by!
