Show Us Your Traditional Art

[Loose Screws]

I searched and couldn't find a thread just for traditionally made art, so thought I'd make one. There's so much beautiful digital art, but I haven't seen much traditional, and it's such an awesome medium. So please show us your traditional work!

In case anyone is unfamiliar with the term: Traditional art is artwork created with non-digital tools, aka traditional media. Pen, pencil, paint, charcoal etc. Some of it may be edited digitally which is completely okay, but I would request that artwork is more traditional than digital for this thread.

Also please feel free to tell us about the tools used and your process, I love learning new things, hopefully it might inspire or help other artists, too. WIPs, finished art, sketches etc are all welcome!

To start off: Here's a watercolor doodle of my beach bun character, as a test. I have a full body lineart of her waiting for some paints, but I have to test the paper first, I learned my lesson plenty of times by not doing this haha. This is Daler Rowney mixed media paper with some birthday gift Schmincke watercolor paints.

Same character, traced her from my ref sheet of her to have a watercolor sample for commission options (full image here, she's cropped). She has shimmery parts! You can see them in the slides on my Instagram post.

I like the way you drew the water. And I would say that the body is as if painted with watercolor + gouache, the colors came out very "tanned"!


This is my last art. Anthro fox. I prefer anthro, not furry.

In fact, people greatly underestimate colored pencils, as well as plasticine. We should use this more often so that they are not considered materials for children and only.

Really beautiful colored pencil work, love the depth you got in his orange fur.

I know she's not furry, but I saw this Instagram account's character for a DTIYS challenge and thought I'd practise my gouache skills. Would love to do some furry characters in this style.
