National Superhero Day (April 28)

Ugh, I keep forgetting the National Superhero Day or I remember it when it's too late. 🙄 Nevertheless, here are Marvel's heroes (and a few villains!) I have drawn so far. To be honest, I basically recycled my last year's post, adding a few new characters I've drawn since then. I didn't have time for anything else. Maybe next time I'll remember it's on 28 April and draw something new, but somehow I doubt it. I've got a feeling I'll just end up with an updated collage again. 🤣

Jane Foster (Thor)

Time for another drawing challenge by @tonycartoonish and @theposearchives!

I was trying to choose what to draw for this pose, but when the new Thor trailer dropped, the decision was made in a split second - the image of Jane Foster with the reforged Mjölnir seemed like the perfect choice! 👍 BTW, can't wait for Love & Thunder, Taika Waititi and Natalie Portman's return! ⚡

The Masked Singer

The singing competition The Masked Singer started airing in Croatia three weeks ago and... it was met with mixed reactions. 🤔

Honestly, I have to agree with some of the bad reviews, but I wouldn't call it complete garbage as some people say. The hostess can be annoying at times, but I think I've got used to her style so far (she's been hosting numerous shows on that channel for years now). Two of the panelists are sooo irritating and cringe, they're trying to be funny but their guesses are way too bizarre. For example, of course it can't be a 60 year old politician or a famous couple's toddler under a mask and although it doesn't make any sense they keep insisting on their answers that it eventually becomes too painful to watch.

But when it comes to the concept of the show itself, it is what it is - they're trying their best to entertain us and if it's not your cup of tea just move along and change the channel. Stop leaving hurtful comments under official posts and let people enjoy things. Recently I've been dealing with some problems and I just need something silly like these brainless but fun shows to lift my spirits and make me smile.

It would also be a shame not to mention the excellent work put into creating the 12 masks. I think they're perfect, both the ideas (tradition, history, nature, pop culture and even our cartoon characters) and the incredible design. 👍

Finally, about my drawing... Here's my avatar masked as - himself! I know it defeats the purpose of the show, but I tought it would be fun. 😄 The "mask" is not as detailed as it shoud be (it looks like papier-mâché) but there is also a mysterious item to help you guess - a stylus for digital tablets. 😉

Ambigrams (watercolor pencils)

I've been creating digital drawings for quite some time, but if you follow me long enough, you may remember my experiments with various techniques. It's no secret that I've always been inspired by Jazza and just like him I wanted to explore other artistic possibilities, but of course, it's impossible to keep up with him. 😄 So, these here are the watercolor pencils I bought a few years ago - they can be used as normal pencils and then a damp or wet brush activates the pigment and creates something similar to watercolors, but with more control.

Sometimes I miss drawing (or creating) in different styles. After trying most of them out, I eventually chose digital art as my main focus, mainly because of some so-called experts' advice about growing your IG account (some bs about consistency and blah, blah...). 🙄 Again, I can't stress enough how I'm starting to hate those "Instagram gurus". 😒 I should really stop playing the pointless game called the Instagram algorithm and just do and post whatever I feel like at that moment. At this point I've turned into that ancient Roman senator Cato who always cried "Carthage must be destroyed!” and the more I keep talking about this issue, the crazier I sound. 🤪

So I've been working on a few ambigrams (for birthday presents), but instead of just printing the plain monochromatic versons directly, I copied blank shapes on watercolor paper and used watercolor pencils to fill them in as well as thin black markers for the outline. It was fun to combine and blend colors this way again and I hope the people who get them will like it too. 👍

Is It Cake?

I don't usually do throwback Thursdays, but I've recently watched "Is it cake?" on Netflix and remembered a drawing I did two or three years ago when I was obsessed with the "everything is cake" trend. The idea behind the drawing was that even the knife itself was cake, so I just adapted it a little bit to the show's esthetic.

As for the show itself, I see there are mixed opinions about some of its aspects and I'd lie if I said I wasn't worried about the waste of all that food. 🤔 I just hope they're somehow taking care of that - after all it's not the first baking show and I want to believe they know what they're doing.

So, what do you think about this trend?

My Robo(t)sona

There was a drawing challenge last month called March Of The Robots and there were various prompts for each day of March, but as usual, I just didn't have time for daily drawings. 😔

That's why I chose just one idea and drew my robosona (or robotsona). Just like me he's been running on empty (in his case with an almost empty battery) and desperately looking for a way to recharge.
