Another Digital Dump

Here is the last batch of digital art images I made while travelling recently, they are done with Sketchbook App on Amdroid. In this example I started with 'finger painting' various shapes, then overlaying with a textural mesh, followed by boxes. Contrast is important in abstract art, ideally there are both white and black elements with various middle shades. 

This piece features starburst shape stencils with various sizes... I set the tool to randomize the size, so I just click around the screen with colour variations. A full range of colours are represented, along with textural spots placed over top. 

There is a neon brush tool that works best on a dark background. Overlapping the shapes leads to increasing illusion of brightness. Some textural meshes were added to create a tactile sense of fabric. It looks like a night-time fire show, I though about my Samoa painting while doing this one. 

Primary colour scribbles were surrounded by an earthy, textural frame and grid. To create juicy brush strokes I used a soft pastel tool, it gives a crumbly appearance reminiscent of crayons. To do the signature I zoom in and use an appropriate style that matches the overall composition and colour scheme.  

 

Organic forms were created with pattern brushes. I like this one because it looks almost alien, as if looking into the bottom of an ocean of a moon of Saturn. wiggly larvae wait to hatch into something creepy. 

 

At the end of a previous blog, I did a painting of an old red post stenciled with a number, it was heavily rusted with silver spray paint graffiti. I was trying to figure out how to simulate a metallic glow, which was done here with variations of grey on an earthy background.
