Azula or Princess Azula from Avatar the Last Airbender, is one of the major antagonists of the series. This drawing was inspired from the scene where Azula and her brother Zuko fought for the last time in an "Agni Kai". Drawn using procreate, ipad pro 12.9, apple pen.

This painting was made on an iPad Pro, with an Apple Pencil, using iColorama and Procreate. I moved back and forth, between these two apps, layering, compositing, masking, painting and refining color relationships. I saved versions as PNGs, to maintain image quality, and I tried to utilize the strengths of each app. Eventually, I arrived at at a moment of peace, when I feel harmony in what I have done. In this, it took several days, and several temporary conclusions, before I reached the end.
What I love about working in digital media, is that I can test ideas, change my mind, move in different directions, with so many choices. It is so nimble! It is, also, compelling, and exhausting. I miss the mandatory reflection time in having to weigh and imagine visual choices, and in literally having to wait for paint to dry, with natural media.
I had been working on a portrait for Claude Panneton, which took much longer than usual, and was relieved, satisfied, and happy to think it was finished. He is a mobile art friend, whose work I respect completely. I used several of his images, some of my own elements, and found images – an old Japanese print of fishes, textures, a butterfly etc. The first version, had a full portrait of Claude on the right side, and as often happens, I later realized that I liked the depth and magic of the background, on the left side, better than the fully realized foreground focus of the "subject".
I was selecting images for a competition, which a friend talked me into entering. Having asked Claude's permission, I was preparing to submit the piece. Out of the blue, I remembered a 2nd century A.D. doll, found in a sarcophagus of an 8 year old girl, in Rome. The doll was ivory. I had saved the image to a "someday" folder, a while ago, because she drew me – the sweetness and the sadness. Then, it is as if she had to be seen, urgently. After more hours of painting, masking and layering, she arrived, large, in color, renewed, clothed, and striding as if from her own vision, somber, thoughtful, and about to free herself from the puppeteer's strings. The articulated 2nd century doll came to life, becoming real, to me, as our dolls do, when we are children.
This one rare doll, survived, loved by a child who died more than 2000 years ago, and whose family had the grace to put her to rest, with love, with her toy. I felt respect for the maker of the doll, also, for the care and craftsmanship in her. The doll emerges, in this image, from fragments of dreams – doll becoming puppet-spirit – dwarfing the puppeteer. I felt a bridge of love.
I submitted the piece, in that state, to the competition, then, went on to work with it, for another full day. I was completely unaware of time, tweaking texture and tone until it arrived here. I had no good reason for doing this, other than being curious about where it would take me. I am as surprised as anyone.
What do these elements have in common –
Claude Panneton's eyes, puppeteers, Japanese prints of fish, a 2nd century A.D. ivory doll, a piece of a musical score, a butterfly, abstract space, textures, and colors?
For me, it is about connecting to love and beauty, pausing to reflect and appreciate the very non-linear ways our imaginations can bring the humanity of past into the present moment. It is humbling, challenging, and elevating, I stand in awe of the possibilities.

What a beautiful woman ðŸ˜:). How she ended up here, maybe a portal again ðŸ˜:). I had this idea for a long time and the 'force' wants this drawn first, apparently :). It's been a while I've used Procreate for any serious drawing, for many reasons - the app itself is amazing, it's sad the creators haven't ported this app to desktop yet... why, perhaps Apple doesn't want to lose sales on it's Ipad Pros against the Wacom CIntiqs, haha :). The default procreate brushes are already great and can be tweaked not twerked, lol. The other issue is not the app itself but the Ipad itself - screen colour accuracy is horrible and final images needs to be colour corrected on my calibrated Cintiq screen, hence porting to desktop is a logical reason for pros. For this drawing, there is no black & white head profile since I painted straight to colour - that's how I used to do it & the harder way too but it seems quicker this time around :). The Procreate brushes I mostly used for this drawing is just the Flat paint brush and the Nikko brush, sometimes the oil paint brush :). Thanks for looking. Next drawing is still Jennie ðŸ˜:). Enjoy, smile even tho it hurts ðŸ˜:) & sweet dreams :).

Plant reproduction is the production of new offspring in plants, which can be accomplished by sexual or asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from the parent or parents.
