Digital sketches surrealism

With a rainy day, no location painting I thought I would post some recent digital sketches I made with Sketchbook app while waiting for various things in life like dentist etc. This is a surrealistic portrait of Cilei!

Which makes this a surrealistic portrait of me?

While painting in Point st Charles I saw an electronic advertising sign that was turned off, but had the most incredible violet and blue-violet glare. I stared at it for some time thinking about making a painting, then just decided to remember the colour patterns and make a digital sketch afterwards. It became intestinal violets.

You have heard of a millipede, how about a billipede? It has a billion legs and glows green sometime in the future.

In this sketch I was playing around with the various paint brush tools. Its easy to do digital, but this would be hard to paint in real life. I am learning more about art and design from these digital sketches, and my location painting improves.
