Lasagne's art (and other stuff)

[lasagne_of_death]

Hello! Welcome to Lasagne's art (and other stuff) that they finally decided to post after so long of deciding whether or not to do it as he's very indecisive (<- full version of the thread name)

Hope you like the stuff I post, and if you don't, feel free to slam my skills so that I can improve : P

I've decided to start this to hopefully maybe probably (not) encourage me to draw more.

Without further ado, enjoy! Hopefully lol, there's enough here to pick and choose what's good and what's not

---

I'll start off by post the art I made for the Season of Giving! Here's the sky painting I made for @/Beep Boop for secret stocking stuffers (I did ask her what she likes though, otherwise I'd be completely stumped). I'm actually pretty proud of this.

Another piece I did was for secret santa for @/-Blue- . I'm also happy with this one, but I kinda wish I had paid more attention to detail middle ground of it.

Oh, I forgot to show what I did for the Myths of Merriment! Well, here it is. It's from @/LoveGracieMarie 's story "The Blushing Bauble". He's a bit goofy, and a bit of an arsonist, but he's sweet all the same.

Wow you’re really good! I love the sky in the
first drawing and the second one is adorable!

I think this kind of thread is great because as you said it will probably encourage you to draw more.
I have been thinking of making a thread like this but i’m not sure hahah

Just some doodles and stuff from the lyrics of if I killed someone for you by Alec Benjamin. Only the second part of the first verse is actually fleshed out, really. I had another two drawings for the first part but I didn't like them and impulsively tore them because I have excellent judgement, 100%

me and my extremely inconsistent lighting staring at you rn:

Spoiler: 1st verse

I'm sorry that I did this
The blood is on my hands
I stare at my reflection
I don't know who I am

Practice my confession
In case I take the stand
I'll say I learned my lesson
I'll be a better man

I'm packing up my things
And I'm wiping down the walls

I'm rinsing off my clothes
And I'm walking through the halls

I did it all for her
So I felt nothing at all

I don't know what she'll say
So I'll ask her when she calls

Here's demonesque lovely crystal reindeer I did quickly. Wouldn't look so hollow if I didn't add the void-like eyes and made them actually the same shape, but he's just a little doodle so it doesn't matter that much.

And I posted this before, but here's an oldish drawing I did. Sure, it's an autumn thing but I'm posting it anyway because this is my art thread and I'll post whatever. Not all of the details come up in the picture, but hopefully you can see them well enough. There's also a picture of the uncoloured/unfinished version below it, just so you can see the progression and if you prefer just the drawing, pretend the coloured one doesn't exist

Old Bungou Stray Dogs stuff, which I've used to show people an example of my art before drawing their OCs, but I'm still happy with them (more so Dazai than Kunikida) so here they go! Hopefully I'll have more of these to post, but a lot of them are done for other people and I don't want to show them because of that. I'll probably do either Chuuya or Atsushi next.

And a silly head for fun. It's no one in particular, I was just practicing the "cute" style and this demon came out of it. Absolutely jaw-dropping. Ignore my awful handwriting

 

[rrenaa]

I absolutely adore your drawings of Dazai and Kunikida! I love that anime, Dazai is one my favorite characters

Woah, am I actually posting in my art thread? Crazy.

Anyway, this is a project I'm doing for art in school. It's not completed yet, but it's mostly done. I have a few more things to write and details to add. The topic we were given was "interconnection" (I thought it was "interconnectivity" hence why I have that put down instead), and we had to make a mind map. Idk how to make mind maps properly so I did this, but I do think the teacher forgot that he assigned this as homework. Just a note that I did not draw the world map, my sister gave me a page from a copy of hers that had it so I stuck it in.

I thought making it look like a travel scrapbook would work, so I designed the pictures like Polaroids. Basically I drew them and covered them with tape to give the shiny quality that Polaroids usually have.

This is the whole thing, and as you can see, it's a bit sparse and there's a corner of lined paper empty of writing. Same with the phone, because I want to write about how the internet and modern communicative technology have helped society become interconnected.

you probably can't read the writing (and if you can then that's impressive, because I can't even do that), but it doesn't matter because it's a load of waffle about useless stuff. So there's a train, a boat, a plane, and a bike—in case you couldn't tell or something.

I'm gonna be honest, I had no idea how to represent people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds in a picture because I can't be bothered to draw detailed people in this, so I did the classic "it's a circle on an oval but it's really a person". The hat and croissant are to show that, due to travel, we're able to try out many different cultures' foods and clothing, which are usually very big parts of identity.

a rat to show that there's drawbacks to the great transport economy we have, such as the spread of diseases. The musical staff is to represent music's growth due to being able to mix and fuse all sorts of music together.

and this isn't finished, but I think it'd be fun to have a tiny Starry Night floating around somewhere.

Posting my submission for Aetherial Aesthetics here because why not. I haven't been having the time or motivation to make art recently, so this is the most recent thing I've done art-wise. And yeah, my art homework is staring at me undone and threatening demerits, but I can't be bothered to do something I really done want to do.

Anyway, I'm going to explain my reasons and process behind all the aspects of the aesthetic board.

The stickers for the present and the hot chocolate are actually Christmas stickers. I bought them when my class was bringing in decorations for the classroom at Christmas, but not all of them were used, so I have some spare. I'm pretty sure everyone can guess what the gift box and hot chocolate means, so I'll save explaining (ergo I save time)

The roses in the corner are also pretty typical for Valentine's. I did them in different colours to represent the different kinds of love, and that every kind is beautiful (even if the flowers aren't the best). I made them by getting paper, drawing a circle (with a compass), drawing a spiral. I then cut along the spiral and ended with a few centimetres in the centre to leave room for after I rolled it. So I then, starting at the outside of the circle, rolled the spiral fully, until I got to the few centimetres at the centre. I then glued the paper thingy and stuck it onto the rolled paper. I then took out the centre (without unravelling the roll) and put glue on the base, and stuck it into the cup shape left behind from the previous step. They're not the best, but they're good enough for me and easy enough.

The rainbow was made from the leftovers of the roses/circles. I layered the paper and glued it.

The poem is something I wrote. I haven't been writing poetry recently, but this just came out when I started writing. And yes I did look up the estimated number of stars in the milky-way

And yeah that kind of it. If you read all that, thanks, and if not that's fair enough

Since it's still close enough to valentine's, I decided to try make some hearts out of paper. I'm happy with these because I didn't actually look up how to make them: 'twas all my own ingenuity.

I took a square of paper and I folded it in half vertically (is that called a valley fold? Idk I'm going off what a friend mentioned a year ago when attempting to teach me how to make something oragami). I unfolded it so that I had just a crease. I got the two bottom corners and folded them to the newly made line. These became the point/bottom of the hearts.

After a lot bit of fiddling, I decided to fold the remaining rectangle on top in half, and from there I just rounded off the edges by folding. Idk how to explain. Anyway, here they are!

Back again, with an octopus and more rambling because that's what I'm best at

I got really bored during a class, but thankfully my high grades and previous knowledge of the subject means the teacher lets me do whatever. The perks of going on deep dives into random topics and having a good memory. So anyway, back to the doodle itself, I decided to draw my rubber. I got the rubber (eraser, if you use a different word) in a Dealz or Euro Giant a while ago and I love it. 10/10 from me for functionality and design. It's the octopus from Finding Dory btw. I might colour him in, still contemplating where to go with it, you know?

Also I need to get a better way to take pictures. The camera on my phone is really bad, and the only reason the entry for Aethereal Aesthetics is so clear is because I begged my sister to let me use her phone to take the photo, otherwise you wouldn't be able to read the writing or see any of it. You can see from this picture (and all the others, basically) how you can't really see the pencil lines for the suckers (?) etc. I swear it looks better irl, oml. Sad times, but getting a better camera is such a trek, and I'm not bothered to do so at the moment because life and stuff.

Update on the octopus rubber from the previous post, someone stole it (we love it when that happens) /s

Anyway, I forgot this thread existed so I'm back here to resurrect it before Easter (get it? Wow that's hilarious, I make myself laugh)

Speaking of Easter... the art piece I have today is my submission for the collectible creation contest that's going on at the moment. It's digital art of course, so this is a rare moment in history for me. I learnt two things while making this: one is that it takes effort and dedication to make art using this medium and the second is that I have neither, so fun days! Blah, I need to stop blathering about with these stream of conscious posts in this thread, they're getting out of hand

That rambling aside, here's the pictures of the process and end result (result is at the start in case you don't want to scroll through ig)

As you can see, I started out with just a brown base (yes there's a failed attempt underneath that I couldn't figure out how to erase)

Basically here I had to look up a reference image for a creme egg because I forgot their design

First I applied the red part of the tinfoil...

... and then the purple. Also if the only reason you're still here is to see my battery percent and the time, you're so fake /j

Yellow splotch is added at this stage

Then I had to add in the folded back piece of tinfoil! This looked terrible at this stage, but I was rolling with it regardless

And last but not least I added the writing and somehow a torn tinfoil effect! No, like I legitimately have no idea how I did that, but it made it look better so I kept it. The writing was fun to do! I did the purple first and then outlined it with white even though it would've made more sense to do it the other, probably.

Anyway thanks for bearing with me during this long post! Have a good day or night or whatever.

It's been a month lmao, but here's one picture. Her proportions refused to be accurate, I take zero responsibility. It was also in the middle of a class, so I wasn't paying attention to the subject or my drawing all that much (someone needs to tell me I can't multi-task). Still a grainy image because the lighting is terrible here wth? But much clearer than my previous ones (bar the aetherial aesthetics one, because that was taken on my sister's phone) because I fixed my camera. I was running around inside a Lidl about three years ago and my phone dropped out of my pocket and the lense came off, so I taped it back on (very badly). Basically my camera quality was terrible because I was never bothered to put on tape that wasn't extremely wrinkly, but I finally got around to it so hopefully I'll be able to take better photos in future idk?? Anyway that's me done yapping for now

 

[lasagne_of_death]

Back again lol. Here's some of the art I've been working on!

This first one is a lino of Bono, so it's not the finished result, technically, but I prefer the lino itself to the print. Anyway, soon enough I'll be getting ink, pouring it into a tray, and rolling it onto this piece of lino. Then you get paper and press it onto the lino, and voilà, you have a finished lino print. But I guess I should describe the first steps ha, instead of skipping to the part I haven't done. So you get an image (for instance, Bono) and you get tracing paper. Trace over the image of whatever you chose, add in shading as well as it will help you decide where you cut the lines later. When you have that done, you scribble over the whole thing with your graphite pencil (don't dig into it) and when you have that done, place your paper on top of the piece of lino. Get a wooden spoon, for example, to rub the paper onto the lino. When you have that done thoroughly, then you can lift up the sheet, and you'll be left with the impression of your image on the lino. From there, make sure you use the correct cutting materials for safety, and carve out along the light parts, those that won't be dark or shadowed. Do that until you're satisfied, and then go back to the inking steps I outlined at the start. This is probably unclear, but I'm not bothered to be articulate enough with this, since I guess you can always look up how to do it and get clearer steps. Anyway, this is one of the most fun and enjoyable and frustrating types of art, imo. Hope you like the thing regardless ignore his wonky upper lip tyvm

And here's a watercolour pomegranate/wine apple. It looks so janky in the photo lmao. This one's actually pretty old, I'd say I did it before Christmas, but I'm only getting around to posting it now (since I just found it again)

That's enough rambling for today, thanks for looking and possibly reading lol
