Bunny and Squirrel Pictures

Leave a comment

By: Joe Perez

I drew this picture because it shows the resemblance of a mother’s love and affection towards their child. I picked a bunny because it shows it’s a sign of bonding, companionship and overall care. Another reason I chose it is because sharing food for them is part of their social instinct to ensure their baby’s safety.

I drew this picture because the squirrel is preparing for the winter as squirrels have great preparation skills just like we humans do. They store food for when they actually need it for the winter or feeding their little ones. Squirrels eat during the fall so that they can build fat for the winter which keeps them warm.

Drawing of bird

Leave a comment

By: Pwe Doh Gay

This is a picture of a bird/woodpecker I made. I made the woodpecker because I wanted to draw something different and cool. Also, I drew it because there are lots of birds in the world, and I saw one outside a window and wanted to draw one.

In this drawing, I used a pencil to make the bird and tree trunk, then I went over it with an ultra-fine Sharpie. After, I colored in the drawing with markers.

I really like how my first drawing of a bird turned out. My favorite part about the picture is the pecked trunk; I really like how it looks with the bird.

One area I could improve is the color, perhaps by adding more color to the bird. Overall, I think it looks very good.

For my next drawing, I will make a bird or something else that is cool, but it will probably be next school year.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Leave a comment

By: Charlotte Bistodeau

Artist Statement:

I drew this for my art class. We were making patterns and got to choose whatever we wanted to go into the pattern. I chose Alice which was also the base choice. I chose Alice because I love the elegance of the Victorian era mixed with the craziness of dreams that get mixed together in the book.

I don’t usually do the line art on my drawings so having one of our tasks in the art project be the line art was a good thing. If it wasn’t a task I never would have done it.

One thing I’m not as proud of is that some of the tiles behind Alice have random lines because I wasn’t paying attention. Everything else about the drawing I enjoyed though, especially the shading. Well, not really doing the shading but I like how it turned out.

In the end I’m glad this was what I had to do for my art class because it actually got me to sit down and think about what I had to draw.

Zentangle 3

Leave a comment

By: Pwe Doh Gay

This is a drawing of another zentangle but in a deck of cards style. I really thought that the second zentangle looked really good, so I wanted to make an even better one for the last zentangle drawing.

For this picture, I used a pencil to make the cards and patterns. Then first went over that with an ultra-fine point Sharpie, then with a fine-point Sharpie, to fill in some of the white spots.

I really like how this one turned out. I think this is my favorite one out of all three zentangles I made. I really like how different this one looks from the others. The patterns just look cool inside of the cards. My favorite pattern is the ten of diamond card. The one that I don’t like is the X shape pattern with the dots in it, on the ace card.

For my next drawing, I will make something else, but I don’t know what I will make yet, but I think it will probably be something that will include color.

Zentangle 2

This is another picture of a zentangle but in a triangle shape. I liked how the other turned out, so I wanted to make another one. Zentangles are just a cool and simple thing to make. You can make any design, and it will look cool.

In this drawing, I first used a pencil to make all the patterns and shapes. Then I went over that with an ultra-fine point Sharpie. I then filled in some of the white spots with a fine-point Sharpie.

I really like how I filled in more of the white spots compared to my first zentangle. It makes the zentangle look a lot better and cooler. In this drawing, I like all the patterns I made; they all looked cool to me.

For my next picture, I don’t know what I will draw, but I will draw something.

Ohuhu alcohol marker review

Leave a comment

By: Persephone Pond

Ohuhu is a newer brand that produces all sorts of art supplies, from paints to markers.

Gaining traction in the early 2020s, Ohuhu quickly became popular for their lines of alcohol based markers. This article will be a quick review of all you need to know about these markers, and if they’re worth the money.

Ohuhu alcohol markers come with three choices of tips: chisel, fine, and brush. Each artist has their own preferences on which to use, and each set of markers purchased are double sided, including two of the three tips. My personal favorite is the brush tip doubled with the fine tip, which falls under Ohuhu’s Honolulu B Series. The combination of the brush and fine tips allow for easy coverage of larger areas, yet include the option of a smaller tip to fill in smaller details.

The quality of these markers are incredible. Coverage is smooth and consistent, and the life of these markers is impressively long. In addition to the long lifespan of these markers, Ohuhu also sells ink refills separately for about $5 each. These refills last even longer, and are a good investment if the markers are in use frequently.

The color options include a wide range of neons, grayscale, pastels, and more. With hundreds of colors to choose from, there isn’t a shade you can’t buy. The pressure control of the markers is also a big pro, creating an easy way to shade and blend colors together.

Price wise, Ohuhu markers are a good investment. Packs of markers are sold in wide ranges, from just 48 markers to up to 320 markers. For a pack of 48 colors, the price comes out to $39.99 (before shipping) from the Ohuhu website (but this pricing is consistent across retailers), which is about $1.20 per marker. Each pack comes out to around that same price per marker, which means buying in bulk doesn’t save money.

Overall, Ohuhu alcohol markers are a worthwhile investment, whether you’re a beginner artist, experienced artist, or just trying to learn how to use alcohol markers.

Zentangle

This is a picture of a zentangle I drew. I made this drawing because when I first saw it, I thought it was cool, so decided to draw a zentangle. Also, a zentangle is an easy thing to make and is supposed to be a relaxing and a fun thing to do. All you have to do is make different shapes and patterns to make a zentangle.

For this drawing, I used a pencil to make all the different patterns, then I went over the pencil with a Sharpie. After I went over with a Sharpie, I colored in some of the white in the patterns to give it a different look.

In this picture, I really like how the different patterns look. The pattern that I like the most is the lines with the shaded background by the triangle one (by the lower right corner). I also like a lot of the others too, but there are one or two I don’t like (like the half triangle pattern near the upper right corner).

For my next drawing, I might make another zentangle but different, or I might make something else.

Drawing of a cap

Leave a comment

By: Pwe Doh Gay

This is a drawing of a cap, also known as a baseball cap. I made this cap because lots of people in the world wear caps. All types of people wear caps, not just baseball players or baseball fans.

For this drawing, I used a pencil, then I went over it with a Sharpie. After that, I used markers to color the cap in. In this picture, I drew the front and back of the cap. I also put the Highland Park logo and name on it. Also, I put the ‘MN’ for Minnesota and St. Paul on it.

I really like how the drawing turned out. I like the logo of Highland Park on it and the names. I like the red on the cap a lot because it is bright, and the gray on it gives it a different look. I also like how I drew a front and back to show both sides of the hat.

For my next picture, I don’t know what I will be making, but it might be a hat or something about sports or something different.

Football drawing

Leave a comment

By: Pwe Doh Gay

This is a drawing of a football. I made the football because lots of people like football and I like sports; I am even on the football team. Football is one of the most famous sports in America.

In this drawing, I used a pencil, then went over with a Sharpie. After that I used markers to color the football in. I put an American flag on the football to tell you that it is American football and not soccer. I also wrote football on it just for fun.

I like how cool the picture turned out because of the American flag on it. The flag makes the football look different. But I don’t like how the stars look because of how close they are together.

For my next drawing, I will draw a cap or something else.

Drawing of a shoe 2

Leave a comment

By: Pwe Doh Gay

This is a drawing of an Adidas shoe, also called a Superstar. I drew this shoe because Adidas is the second most popular shoe brand in the world (after Nike). There are a lot of people that wear Adidas shoes in the world, including me.

For this drawing, I used a pencil, then went over the pencil with a Sharpie. After, I used markers to color it in. I also put cross-line designs on the shoe to give it a different look.

I like this shoe a lot because of how it turned out with the cross lines and the two colors on it. This shoe really looks different from the normal ones you can buy from the store.

For my next drawing, I don’t know what I want to draw, but I will draw something.
