It's been a while since I've drawn or painted something traditionally. Lately, I had the opportunity to try digital drawing thanks to a friend who challenged me to do it... and it's been interesting despite only using my phone. Another perk is that I need not prepare art materials. I'm almost out of all my art materials, so I'd have to get some new ones soon.<br>
Earlier this morning, I had around 30 minutes of free time before my classes started. I looked at the already open sketchbook on my art desk...<br>

<br>
It's empty, but I've added some margin around some pages in the past. I divided each page into two because this sketchbook is mostly just for sketch practice, and as I've mentioned, I'm trying to save my art material.<br>

<br>

I initially thought of using my acrylic markers, so I changed the margin using one. However, I realized that using them would take me more time, given the size of the paper I'm using. So, I decided to use acrylic paint instead.<br>

I decided to make the sky. I love painting skies, and since I didn't have a lot of time to paint, I just scattered drops of black, blue, and white on the paper. <br>
It was a random thought, so the paper isn't really ideal for painting... but oh well. *hahah*<br>

I blended them, showing a part that was darker than the other. I used a paintbrush at first, but then, I changed my mind and blended them more using a tissue paper.<br>
The margin I made wasn't useful at all. *haha* Anyway, I have already started it, so might as well continue.<br>

On the darker side, I drew some curved lines using white acrylic paint, then I added a few drops of red and green poster paints before brushing them upwards using a fan brush. Now, it looks like a night sky with the northern lights. :)<br>

Then, on the opposite side, I added drops of white paint and then scattered them using a paintbrush and tissue paper. I also added various shades of blue to the sky. <br>
Looking at my clock, I had only about 8 minutes left before my class started, so I decided to paint the surrounding edges black.<br>

It looked better than earlier. *haha* Then, lastly, I added my signature in the corner.<br>

I tidied up a bit and got ready for my class with a little over 3 minutes to spare. <br>
This is what happens when my randomness attacks. The artwork isn't that bad, right? It was also fun to make despite the time constraint. <br>
After creating these designs, I feel like painting a proper one on either watercolor paper or on my canvas pad. I'd likely separate these two, though. However, with more time, I may be able to think of a better way to transition from a night sky to a day sky. <br>
I'm planning on painting our bathroom ceiling with a morning sky with clouds, so this is a good practice. The process would be different, but we'll see. <br>
After creating this, I realized that I don't have a lot of art materials left. I'm running out of acrylic paint, poster paint, and my acrylic markers. <br>
Art materials are pretty pricey, so in the coming days, I'll try to focus on sketching using either pencils or colored pencils. I also have to practice digital drawing on my phone, too! ^^ <br>
Anyway, I'll end this post here. Thanks for checking out my random art. See you around! (^^,)/
