Hello Steemians! Happy to share my latest art. Its my first time to ever mix traditional with digital since i just started this month with digital art. Here is my art!
Title: Between Good and Bad
Mixed media: colored pencils, pen and ink and paperone drawing app and stylus on my phone
The concept:
This is related to drug use and drug addiction
i used my own face to make it more interesting
and since its my art and my perspective, why not? 🤗the halo on her head gives her a holy/saintly appearance but what i want to imply by this is that:
a. Some people we know to be good arent really good. Some people pretend to be innocent when in fact guilty.i. Here in the Philippines there is a drug war which is causing a lot of controversy. Some unjust killings happen. Drug lords killing each other. Planting evidence to distract the media/police. ii. Drug users hide behind the "extra judicial killings" excuse to look oppressed, as well as human rights but it doesn't erase their crimes. It makes them look innocent while the people and media are distracted, they carry on with their evil intentions.b. There are the three happy drugs on the halo which is less dangerous than cigarettes and liquor. These are natural and have medicinal use.
i. Marijuana
ii. LSD
iii. EcstasyBut this doesnt make substance abuse okay. This is an invitation to a possible addiction to synthetic drugs that completely destroy someones sanity and physical state.
For example:
1. Metamphetamine
2. Krokodil
3. Phentanyl citrate
4. Flakka
5. Cocaine
the dove and the crow are good and bad decisions.
the sniper symbolizes a person's will. Also, that one decision to kill either of the two. And we all know what happens after choosing bad.
The space background, i used to make it more like a universe effect because this drug problem is growing and affects us all.
Here are the work in progress pics.
For traditional art i used colored pencils and uni pen with a point of 0.5
I used a mechanical pencil to draw my sketch and plainly inked it and colored the halo with gold and silver and psychedelic colors.
The hair strokes are made one by one.
Then color the lilies, added the dove and crow and shade in some grey on the face
I put a little design around the birds
Darkened details on the eyes nose and mouth
Add highlights with white inked pen
Also, the sparkles on the eye.
Then a colorful abstract sort of colors and shapes for her clothing
And up till now this piece looks like this. To finish it quick I made the rest digitally.
The digital process:
Light to dark process
Grey yellow violet blue pink orange bluegreen black.
I continually put patches of colors
Blend, highlight, and darken until i get the desired effect.
You can easily create a glowing effect by using the faded spray paint effect
Put yellow orange blue white dots for stars
And the crayon effect purple blue and white to create a starry texture and a galaxy light effect.
And finished!
Whats nice about this is i can remake it anytime
Thank you for viewing this post! 🍓
Long live art!
Really cool mixed media piece. I like the powerful meaning behind the work as well as the sweetness of the flowers in her hair. Cool to see how the process unfolded as well. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I thought of the elements quite random but im happy it all harmonized with my concept.
:)
This is awesome. I am loving the dynamic pose of the black bird and the meaning behind the image.

Thanks! 🤗😀
What software is this again? I kind of felt that some of the instructions are missing. I mean, what are those metallic colors? paint or markers?
Right that gold and silver pen! Sorry.
The braands are uniball. You can use any silver and gold ink you like. :)
Beautiful art, but I do believe that drugs is not the real problem here but the people who abuses it, like war and peace alone, humans are the ones who makes the bad of it, not the subject.
Well true. But synthetic drugs/ weapons are dangerous tools. Add that to heartless people and BAM!! End of the world.
Thanks for appreciating my art!
Super talented...am amazed!
Thanks so much 🍑💟😱
