Lady Skechiyo

Hi everyone~

How are you all? :) Here in Australia, we're seeing colder temperature and winterier weather~ Hope you are all doing well~

Okay, so this post is back to actual arting, hahaha 😀 I'm done showing off how to make mandalas online for now but I do still wanna show one last thing about the sketchio website, which is that IT CAN ACTUALLY BE USED TO DRAW WITH...!

The mandalas were mostly relying on the engine's ability to create patterns for you with its mirror point repetition algorithm but the other tools on the website are not half bad to actually draw with, and to show you a demonstration, I have taken a video as I create this portrait of a lady with the "sketchy" brush tool :)

(The brush settings is on the upper left side of the menu, you can see it in the video it's already at "Sketchy")

I used mouse to draw her because this app won't recognize drawing tablets so if you have an idea to art with skecthio, you can totally do so~

Here is the finished picture:

I like the clean and crisp inking line that the tool creates and it makes such a nice comicky style, don't you think? I'm used to draw without the use of eraser or undo but those features are actually also available on the sketchio app :) Don't be afraid to explore and try things out to suit your creative styles~ !!!

The bee in the banner of this post was also drawn using this website, but with the "WEB" brush tool instead of the "SKETCHY"... and of course, just like the mandalas, we can try to colorize these with Google Deep Dream :)

Here's the lady, in colorized version:

I kinda like it better in black and white to be honest, but maybe i just didn't choose the right deep dream filter... hmm...

AH WELL, so there it is. If you want to try arting online, there's places where you can just muck about for a bit. This is just one of the websites, there are many others, which I did post about in this older entry from last month: https://hive.blog/hive/@veryspider/online-drawing

Most of them facilitate mouse drawing, so that's cool, right ??? :D You just gotta remember one thing: BE PATIENT with yourself when you are arting. Sometimes, the lines do not come out exactly how you want it to come out. Erase, and try again. Arting is a muscle. Like any other muscle, the more you train it, the better you get at it :)

OK, that's it from me for now. If any of you do end up creating arts with these, please let me know so I can go and appreciate it, give you upvotes and all that jazz~

And I think I didn't say this in the last post, but if you are active on mainstream social media, always create a cross post of your hive post! Specially if your article has been well researched, or the art is eye-catching, or it has the potential to gather eyeballs and attract people's interest in joining HIVE :)

We gotta do our bits to help keep the HYPE alive so our new home's success gain strength from day to day, friends~ !!!

Until next time, see you o/
