I got Copic markers for my birthday last month and haven't really gotten to testing them out. So I sat down and scribbled a little something. I thought you folk here might appreciate it.

Yes - they're supposed to be a bit messy.

 

Here's a Milly

 

And a Squee - not quite as happy with this one but it's here for completeness

 

I've only just broken into the use of markers in my art, I've used digital as my chosen media for a long time. Here are some others I've done with markers-

(PS - I love gryphons!)

 

:fear

WOW!

They are fantastic!!! You are very talented. Have you got any more to show us... even in other media... i love them

That's some talent there Chryso. Keep at it. I see a comic book coming up in your future ! You could make some good money by doing something you love & get paid big dollars for it. AND BEST OF ALL ... Be your own boss !

 

The pics are excellent.

i love them they are so cute

They're great- I love them.

They're fantastic, you are a very talented girl

WOW!! they are awesome!!!! and very cute

You are talented! I can draw really good stickmen! :(Laughing out loud): Other than that I don't have an artistic bone in my body. I love your drawings, great job!!!

oh l love them all, very nice work there Chrysocome

Hello Chrysocome:

 

Thank you very much for sharing your creations with us, they are very intriguing and well done . What are coptic markers? I love to mess around with visual art (I say mess, because I am a beginner): paints, pencil/ink, photography. You are obviously talented. If you had the inklination, you could do a comic strip about budgie owners/breeders!

Thank you all, glad you like them

 

Maesie - I use lots of different media, the main one being digital art. Plushies and sculptures are my other favourites.

(Can you tell that I like birds? )

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time for projects like that anymore.

 

Erin - Copics are these things -

They are a brand of alcohol-based markers. The beauty of them is that you can blend them! (See that first link I put - that was done with three Copics only: red, orange and yellow). Many graphic artists use them - fashion designers, comic book artists etc. They come in 100+ different shades and you can custom make your own. At $9 each though, they might set you back a bit! (And my friends bought me 20!)

 

I'm thinking maybe.. just maybe.. some time.. I will do little cartoons of members' pet budgies in the same rough style as above... but I don't know how to spread this out so I can do it in my (rare) spare time and not be swamped by requests!

EBAY

(Laughing out loud) Put up a bidding for your talents and the winning bidder sends you a photo of the bird they want a cartoon picture of.. This way you can limit the amount of requests and postage to send out pictures is covered with a little bit extra cash to line your pockets Thats what id do if i could draw hahaaa..

 

REALLY loving your drawings and other creative talents.. I sketch a lil, paint a lil, dabble in ceramics a lil etc etc .. Nothing thrilling though hahaaaa

wow. they are great to look at. great Job!

They are so sweet Just like your sweet little birds.

 

You could always frame them and sign them?

That is some awesome work there Chryso. I used to do alot of art, mainly acrylic paints and pencil.

I know what you mean. When I was at school I used to use up a sketch book a year, but ever since I started vet I have only used 15 pages of my newest sketchbook and I've had that book for 2 years!!!

Yeah, vet limits your time alot.

I think you are absolutely amazing artist.Love your griphons!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

Thank you

 

Erin, Una, Sailorwolf, any others, I'd love to see your artwork too!

 

Una - that sounds like a neat idea! Only thing is, I really dislike being forced to create, especially when I don't have the 'mood' for it, and I'd certainly be forced if somebody paid me. Something similiar happened when I was making plushies for money - it stopped being fun and became a chore. I'm thinking it will just be a fun thing to give back to the community

 

Sailorwolf - tell me about it! I did the same thing, I just stopped using a sketchbook completely, for two whole years (except for the abundance of sketches all over my notes - it's a bad habit of mine). But I learnt that in the summer break I can go nuts and just don't stop creating. But not this year, it's all taken up by work experience. Yup. Vet is the great time-sucker. Except for BBC. I should be asleep or studying right now...

l totally understand you guys

l'm currently using my new sketch book l got 3 years ago, with only about 5 sketches in it and 4 unfinished sketches l haven't been in a creative mood lately but hopefully l will finish my unfinished projects soon

Lovely work Chryso.........so very talented!

Chryso,

 

Wow, how talented are you. Clever, intelligent, beautiful and now artistic. Geez, where will it end??

 

By The Way: I LOVE how you signed your name on the blue gryphon picture.

 

 

Feathers.

I'd love to show ya some, but I don't have a scanner or camera yet, that will hopefully be solved sometime in the near future and you guys will all have to succumb to millions of pictures of my little fids

Thank you

I FULLY get what your saying about being "FORCED" into painting something, was my mothers Birthday in February and she really wanted a painting and i felt pushed into doing her one, I just was NOT feeling creative and as a result she ended up with a painting i was really less than impressed with although she absolutely loves it and has placed it in the lounge for everyone to see ARGGHHH ..

Okay now by no means am i any good at painting to begin with but thought id show you a few Ive done anyways..

This is the horrid painting mum "FORCED" me to do hahaaa.. Its meant to be the middle of a flower..

some sketches that i did a while ago.. All the others are not suitable to be posted on here ..
