If animals should have a refuge: It should be us 🐾
This entry is specially made for @sethlinson's art contest: scenes of nature.
🍃Title: Come to Me
🍃Medium: Pen and ink, Colored pencils
🍃Paper: 12" x 16" textured paper
🍃Time: 3 days
Just a year ago I decided to be a wildlife artist and I became more aware of our deteriorating earth.
I guess with "nature" as a theme I could not help but express it this way.
Mother earth is not happy
She is sick, fast changing and only we can do something.
Our animals are dying
- Sumatran tigers may be extinct in a few years.
- There are only three white Rhinoceros left in the world
- Orangutans face loss of habitat and their forests are being burnt due to industrialization
- Elephants are killed for the ivory trade
- The grey wolf and other animals are endangered and affected by human activities
- Polar bears starving and dying of exhaustion because theres less ice to stay on.
And the list goes on...
I just feel for these animals. They can't really do much for themselves and I do think it's my chance to spread a message through my art.
🌱🌎The woman here represents people, compassion the animals are running to her for help and protection.
She can also be mother earth who is tired and crying.🔎
How about you? What's your interpretation?
PROCESS PHOTOS ✏️🔷
Okay let's start!
I used a ballpen, fine tip pen (0.5 and 0.7) and a marker for the black colors
I used colored pencils for the animals and eyes.
Lastly some white ink for the shine on the eyes.
Sketch first! As you can see her expression here is more sad and worried. I decided to change it as I progressed so it has a more calm feel.
I used a regular ballpoint pen to draw the shades on the hand and face. Basic cross hatching. Tilting the pen helps make the lines thinner and lighter. Occasionally wipe the tip to avoid pooling but since the paper is textured expect unexpected blotches. 🙊
So as you can see, voila!
Shading is completely up to you. I didnt make it too dark.
Next, some inking with a marker pen. Broad tip.
I draw the hair plain pitch black, no gradations.
I draw tree stumps and an axe and start to color it.
I planned on putting thorns and roses but to me it would take too much time and attention. I want to focus on the animals.
On the way I adjusted the hair, and the eyes too.
Her eyes have earth in it.
Can we see earth her way? Or this way?
Funny how this looks good upside down ♥️
finally 🌎🌱🌼🦄
Some pics I took, they might all look the same but they look different to me. The final output!
I colored the eyes with practically the rainbow.
Grey mostly on the white parts of the eyeball and I used a white inked pen to make highlights and shine. I hope it looks shiny and bit real.
Red as well since she cried. Koala hugs! 🐨
WE MUST!
I have a special message...
THAT IS ALL ☝️🌎🔎
