My Favorite Artists #7: Brianna Garcia

Whoops....I didn't realize it had been a few days since my last update. Sawry!!! :) It's all good though, I am here now to remedy the situation! Number 7 in my favorite artists blog is Brianna Garcia! Now, I'm not positive but I believe that she has once worked for Disney as a sketch artist at parties and things like that. I could be 100% wrong here and Miss Garcia, if you read this, I apologize. haha

I absolutely LOVE Brianna's work! The first piece of work of hers that I saw has probably been seen by everyone and their mothers! haha It's her drawing of all the Disney Princesses making weird faces. I love it for many reasons. One, it is the Disney Princesses and two, it isn't the typical Disney Princess drawing. They are all acting goofy and in fun little poses. Very unique and that is what got my attention. :)

I found Brianna on DeviantArt but now she mainly posts new art on her Tumblr. Through her Tumblr, I have now come to love an attraction at Disneyland called "Mad T Party". I have never been to Disneyland and have never seen "Mad T Party" in person but seeing Brianna's videos that she posts and other's gifs, I have now become obsessed with March Hare and Dormouse, specifically these two guys (see right). Brianna has made some adorable Mad T Party art that can be bought from her many online stores: Society6 and Redbubble

My Favorite Artists #6: joshwmc

I hope you aren't tired yet of reading about my favorite artists because I have quite a few more to come! :) Today's artist is joshwmc from DeviantArt. Josh hasn't posted any new art on his DeviantArt page since the summer of 2011 but he does post on his blog: http://fanartexhibit.wordpress.com/

Kitana
art by: joshwmc

I can't remember exactly which pieces of art by Josh that I saw first but I do know that it was one of two pieces. One of which being a fanart portrait of Mortal Kombat princess, Kitana. I absolutely love this drawing! It's so beautifully drawn. Josh drew her with a strong stance, great muscle tone was brought out and there is real emotion of a warrior in this drawing. It's really nice when an artist is able to do that with a piece of art.

Daffney

The second piece that could have been the first I saw is a fanart drawing of former TNA Knockout, Daffney. There really isn't that much great fanart of women professional wrestlers out there so seeing this piece was a real treat. Daffney has always been a favorite of mine, so this one was immediately added to my faves! I am astounded at Josh's ability to perfectly draw Daffney's tattoos and the type of fabric on her outfit and the strain of the ties in the middle. There is perfect flow.


Now comes my favorite part. Josh did a series of drawings that he called "Disney Fighters" where he drew the Disney princesses as fighters with new stories. Check out this one of Snow White. He turned her story to be Snow as a tough-girl, street fighter growing up in a city run by seven drug lords. I love this because not only does Josh create an interesting piece of art but he also creates interesting stories to go with them.

"My Favorite Artists" Blog Series #2

Are you returning from yesterday? If you are, THANK YOU! Are you a new reader of my blog? THANK YOU TOO! Any reason you are reading my blog, THANK YOU! This is #2 in my blog series about my Favorite Artists. Now, keep in mind that these are not in any particular order. Each artist is equally as talented no matter their "skill level" or medium of choice.

Today's featured artist is another that I found on DeviantArt named Rebecca Blair (DeviantArt username, r-becca.) She is an amazingly talented traditional medium artist, using marker, pen, pencil, and pastels. She now mainly posts her art on her Facebook fanpage.

Rebecca's "Alice Cullen" 

Ravenna

The first piece of Rebecca's that I saw was her fanart drawing of Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen. I have seen a LOT of Twilight related fanart but this one stood out because of how much it looks like a photo. Rebecca's ability to make the eyes stand out and the hair look so realistic is mind-blowing! This is the drawing that made me hit the "watch" button on her DeviantArt page. Another fanart drawing of hers that I fell in love with is her "Ravenna" drawing. It is almost realistic but kind of has her cartoonish touch to it. It's so beautiful!


Rebecca does some realistic drawings and some cartoonish drawings. A few that I love are her fanart drawings of characters like Aurora and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, Poison Ivy and Rapunzel. I especially love the one of Aurora because she added tattoos to her arms. :)

Tattooed Aurora, Maleficent, Poison Ivy and Rapunzel

From time to time Rebecca will do a black and white drawing and then add color to it later. I'm not sure if she does it digitally or not but either way, they always turn out to be stunning.

NEW DISNEY PRINCESS DRAWING!!!

It's been an extremely long time since I drew a Disney Princess and I had a bit of free time, so I continued my series with Sleeping Beauty!....or Aurora...or Briar Rose. Whatever you want to call her. :)

I drew her in her blue dress since that IS the dress that she ends up in. Not the pink one. I don't know why all the ads show her in the pink dress. Maybe they were afraid people would confuse her with Cinderella? I don't know. I didn't go with a full body drawing like I did with the other Princesses just because when I look at those now, it seems like the background takes way too much from the Princesses. I hope I succeeded in fixing that problem with this new drawing. :) I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!!

Anyway...here she is!
