Day 7: Enchanted – Yokai
Double Challenge combined prompts #Drawlloweentober2019
Inktober: Enchanted
MabsDrawlloweenClub2019: Yokai

Today drawing is inspired by the Japanese Mythology and Folklore “Yōkai (妖怪, ghost, phantom, strange apparition) are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons in Japanese folklore. The word yōkai is made up of the kanji for “bewitching; attractive; calamity” and “spectre; apparition; mystery; suspicious” (source WikipediA)
The combination of the two prompts Enchanted and Yokai is great together! I hope you love my “Kiko the Enchanted Yokai” Her name is Kiko and she is very mysterious! I also wrote an Haiku for this drawing!

Day 6: Husky – Black Dog

Inktober: Husky
MabsDrawlloweenClub2019: Black Dog

Today drawing is a black Husky dog prompts combined greatly! I like to think at a Spirit Animal. I made the drawing in black ink with a touch of watercolor and gold on the moon I think looks pretty nice! I haven’t created yet the quote that goes with it I need to write one and if I do I will post it here.

Inktober 2019 – MabsDrawlloweenClub Day 5: Build – Huntress

October 6, 2019October 6, 2019 Carolina Russo

“Her name is Alpha huntress she builds her own bows with gold, she doesn’t hunts animals instead she loves them but be careful she is so powerful…”

Day 5: Build – Huntress
Double Challenge combined prompts #Drawlloweentober2019
Inktober: Build
MabsDrawlloweenClub2019: Huntress

Day 5 drawing took long time to finish it! Sorry I am posting here on the Blog a day late, yesterday I was only able to post it on Instagram! It took me a good time brainstorming to come up with an original idea that will combine the two prompts Build and Huntress nicely and not showing just my huntress building her bows but she carries two bows the bigger one symbolize that she is also a bowyer a craftsman who makes bows and an huntress in the drawing she is trying out her bows . The fine line work and all the details takes patience and time I am not rushing this series, each drawing has my heart and soul and I want it to be a beautiful series.

I used mostly brown ink, black ink on the bigger bow and arrow and a touch of gold no watercolor this time! I love the precision and cleaness and I decided to do not add color!

Day 4: Freeze – Candelabra

Inktober: Freeze
MabsDrawlloweenClub2019: Canelabra

Today drawing is ethereal and surrealistic it took long time to finish it! There is lots of detail work in these drawings especially my latest three! Today I have used black and white inks! It was challenging to combine prompts in a interesting and original way and I am very happy with what I did! Today I used black and white inks and watercolor for my “Candelabra lady” almost a kind of Snow Queen in the freezing snow wearing candles on her shoulders a icicle crown and a forest dress 🖤❄️❄️❄️🖤 I added one of my older quotes that in my opinion fits pretty well with the drawing. I hope you like it!

Today drawing is another scene with soft color tones and a hint of Victorian – Gothic style in brown ink I am liking drawing these! prompts are Bait an Bat and I wanted to create something more ethereal than creepy! So the girl in my drawing is a nature and bat lover she love to feed the bats at dusk wearing a skirt made of leaves, she is able to communicate with bats, they are spirit animals and they symbolize free spirit trusting in vibrations and inner guidance. They are special and beautiful creatures.

Happy October! Let’s welcome the Fall Season that brings a lots of creativity and great art challenges. This is a full month of daily drawings!
Inktober begins today!
I am happy I made my first drawing starting this exciting new series! Once again I combined the prompts of my two favorite challenges.
Today my Vampire drawing is mostly created in red and black inks only a little splash of watercolor. This month you will see more dark themed art in my drawings cause the “mabsdrawlloweenclub challenge has prompts inspired by darkness and Halloween theme. It’s always interesting to see the way I can adapt my style! Each year I give myself a goal about what I want to experiment or work on during this month, last year was “Textures”, this year would be mostly “Inks and toned color papers” you will see a variety of interesting drawings. I hope you like my vision of Vampire she is not as bloody and violent as traditional vampires. To complete the drawing I have created a quote and is: “ I see the light through the ring of darkness “ – ©️CarolinaRusso

New Painting – Princess Isadora – #drawthisinyourstyle Challenge

July 17, 2019 Carolina Russo

Draw This In Your Style Challenge

Princess Isadora – Watercolor ink painting ©CarolinaRusso

This month I have participated to another inspiring painting challenge the second hosted this year by Artist Annie Stegg Gerard on Instagram.
Annie challenged us for a “Draw this your style challenge, posting her oil painting “Princess Isadora”. I have participated to her first challenge painting “Princess Cordelia” and of course I wanted to participate again. I loved to paint Isadora in my style. Annie gave us no restrictions and pure freedom to re-create her beautiful painting in anyway we wanted. Her Art is ethereal and dreamy, make you think about fantastic fairytales. I loved to paint my vision of Princess Isadora, according to Annie she is Cordelia’s older sister, so now I have re-created the two beautiful sisters in my style and medium. I am happy with the outcome.

About Annie’s art world….
” Inspired by nature, folklore and mythology, her work evokes emotion and imagination in the viewer. Annie has a special love for the 18h century Rococo painters who have had a large influence on her own method. She finds inspiration in their imagination, and the dreamlike palette and lively brushwork that combine to create a wonderful atmosphere of enchantment.” I suggest you to visit her website at Gallery Gerard
