#MakersmARTtch #draw it's an obvious one here. The mighty Xeno drawing I recently completed, drawn in TikTok live. Just the one pencil used, Palomino Blackwing soft. Original drawing left, final print (available now in my store!) right. #filmsky #alien #xenomorph #horror #scifi #movies #drawing

A wee sculpture of a mouse girl with long dark hair, sitting curled up holding onto her knees. She's draped in yellow, orange, and red rose petals like a dress.

This little mouse girl made from clay scraps is only a little bigger than my thumb. I imagine she's dressed in petals from my rose.

Shells, sticks and other found objects were pressed into a clay tile to sculpt a landscape. Placing the tile in the sunlight has created strong shadows which gives the appearance of craters on the surface of a planet.

The same tile has been painted in pastel tones to mimic the shapes created by bacteria. I looked at images of bacteria and viruses from under microscopes for inspiration. These are not accurate representations but am artistic interpretation.

With or without colour? The #sunlight made shadows creating an #alien like landscape. The #bacteria like cells stand out more in colour. I used found objects to #sculpt this from #airdryclay. #marchintolandscapes #MakersmARTch #SmArtist #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear

You dont always need clay to sculpt. These were chicken wire frames I made then covered with papier mรขchรจ & acrylic paint to achieve my 'Nuclear Family'

They were part of my painting series about #Homelessness that appeared in Stratford, London 1995

A shaman (medicine man) sculpture against an adobe building. He has a black body with a gold wrap around his lower torso. He has four arms stretched out to the sides and is holding an object or staff in each one. His head is gold and has antlers, and he has a turquoise vest draped over his shoulders.

A miniature polymer clay plate with a minature polymer clay baked apple pie slice sculpted with a couple of baked apples falling out and the juice dripping off the edge, with golden brown crust, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream just to the left of the slice of pie on the plate. X-Acto knife in the background on the left for sense of scale. All on a black craft cutting mat with white line grid.

I saved you a piece of the Pi Day apple pie, and made it a la mode for you, for todayโ€™s art prompt! ๐Ÿคญ

Art piece of a drawing in white ink against a very dark gray background of the figure of an angel as seen from the side and draped over a cemetery monument with face hidden in arms in a posture of intense grief. The art style is simple lines with patterns chosen to emphasize the shapes of the figure's drapery, wings, and curled hair.

The #MakersMartch theme today is sculpture. I've always been enamored of cemetery sculpture. If anyone knows of an account on here that posts about cemeteries (preferably with alt text), let me know!

Jen Schultesโ€™ sketchbook page from a drawing trip to MOIFA. The image displays a series of sketches in a row, each depicting different figurines. Starting from the left: A character is shown looking surprised with its mouth wide openโ€ฆ Below that, thereโ€™s a Dia De Los Muertos skeleton playing a banjo. 3. The third image features a character wearing what appears to be wings. 4. Next is a sketch of a Kachina doll. 5. The fifth image shows a mexican rag doll with a bouquet.  6. The sixth sketch is of a character resembling a rabbit with horns, a pointed tail, and a cape. It has an exaggerated, cartoonish style.
