Um wow... was not expecting this positive of a reaction to a simple QRT about Dissolve Mode in our Carol & the End of the World BG paintings! 😳 Since y'all seem to have liked that so much, I thought I'd put all the pages of the BG Paint style guide I drafted in one thread! 🥰

#huevember day 2: orange A trickier screenshot study just because there's a lot of rocks in this, but the plus side was that I got to use a load of texture brushes 😭 It soothes my soul, they're so fun to paint with

A study of clouds and the sea because both of these still get the better of me. I'm making it my business to paint them a lot of I build up some better painting muscles 💪

Happy 53rd birthday (albeit slightly belated) to River Phoenix 🫶 (Aug 23. 1970)

I finished the Barbie fanart request for Brietta! (I’m trying to play around with my style atm, so things will probably be getting a bit experimental for the next few uploads 🥲) I rewatched Magic of Pegasus for this and damn, I wasn’t expecting to relate with Brietta like I did 😭😭 ✨🌸
