Draw Time with Bethany

Would you like to improve your drawing skills while stuck at home with only your internet connection to comfort you?

If so, then why not invest an hour learning to draw from me!

This is a drawing I made while following a video from the painter, Bob Ross. I made this painting to try out doing some backgrounds and environments. I’m rather happy with how it turned out. What do you think?

I love to draw because I love bringing characters and things from my imagination into the world! Because of this uncertain time, it will be wonderful to express yourself with a little bit of art and conversation.

I mainly draw characters. Here are some examples of my most recent pieces.

These are chibi mascots I made for my friend Emma who wanted to create her own anime convention.

She really wanted the characters to be bright and to pop out with more fun, modern fantasy elements. So I made them look energetic and colorful.

Bethany - Hana.jpg

Auntie Lisa asked me to make this drawing of Hana in 2015. Since I don’t often draw animals, this was a fun challenge to see if I could properly draw the different patches of Hana’s black and white fur, as well as the various shading levels.

Here’s a drawing that I made with colored pencils. This is one of my original characters based on one of my favorite video games. Her name is Xarin. Working on Xarin I was testing my ability to create a soft, shiny look with her lavender hair.

In this painting I helped one of my students. He requested me to help him draw Baby Yoda. This was a request I had been dying to get for so long. We mainly used Watercolor Pastels for this drawing. I was able to help him add some shading and work in the folds in his clothing.

I love to draw, and I want to share that with others. I may not be the best, but I will try to provide a fun experience where we can all talk and do art together, maybe bring a little light and beauty into the world!

This is a character for a story I created named Thee. In her world, I made her to be a space goddess/angel so I aimed to give her an otherworldly feel, especially with her galaxy hair that gushes down all around her and almost fills the painting.

During the lockdown I will host a drawing class on Thursdays at 2pm.  We will learn to draw many different things. Because this week is Easter week I will start by showing you how to draw Easter themes -- like bunnies, painted eggs in baskets, spring flowers, or even the cross in three dimensions!

In the future we can learn to draw many other things such as characters.
