Lirael's Drawings and Artwork

Since this contains a mix of fanart and original creations, I'm not sure which forum to place it in, so I hope this one's alright.

FANART

I drew this around the age of 15, so 6 and a half years ago now! It took somewhere in the region of 15 lunchbreaks at school. Longest time ever! Still, I am rather pleased with it.


This took less time and was drawn around the same time.


ORIGINAL CREATIONS

This is a acrylic painting of my cat Theo, who only lived a year so I would have been 17 when I did this in the glorious sun in my back garden.


Here are two characters I designed around 16/17 then coloured in PS. I think they were my first attempt at colouring images digitally.






A character for a book, drawn around the age of 17.



The next few pieces are more recent and were all created over the past 2 years. They're different characters to the one above, but I seem to love long, copper hair.

I used a wedding dress as a reference to draw this... Getting all of the detail in then shading it took quite some time, but I am very proud of the result!


Those kitty hats are so cute! The dress is similar to the sort of thing I wear myself and is also in my favourite colour, red.



I have more realistic ones which I may upload soon. There are quite a few here and I do feel you can see my progression in these.

All comments welcomed and much appreciated!

Wow you've definitely got a knack for art!

I especially love the first two and the girl who has one blue eye and one gold. <3

Fantastic stuff! It takes great patience with this sort of thing, which is why I was never really all that good at it. XD

Hope to see more soon!

If they are still available, can you put up a higher quality upload of your Yuna and Garnet sketches? They look absolutely gorgeous, and very well complemented by your attention to detail in the realistic shading. You really should do some more. I'd love to see more of your sketches~

Oh wow, you're quite a well-rounded artist! Sketcher, painter, GFXer and digital artist. Very envious! xD Love your digital pieces, especially the second to last one. You've definitely nailed the anime style, as well as the colour tone and the detail in the hair. Your painting is just adorable, and reminds me just how awful I am when it comes to painting. Goodness knows how I'd have survived an Art GCSE course if painting had been a big part of it.

I had no idea you also do digital arts. That's something I'd really like to try as well. One day.

I love all your work, but the one you did with Theo really stands out to me. To capture that one moment and bring it to life through your personal touch in painting...I can imagine it means a lot to you.

Do you have any more recent ones? I'd love to see more. Keep it up, you're doing great.
