Getting back to art after a break for a couple of months to persue something else, this is a follow-along from Nekojira's #coloso course

(RTs greatly appreciated💕) Looking at my to-dos, I have a couple of slots available for a skeb comm like the example below! price is £150 and available through my vgen vgen.co/Saiivia/serv...

Missed out on posting for #BikiniDay ? You can use and download my (free) art trends calendar to never miss one of these again! #ビキニの日 ziedritz.art#/art-trends-... (Tomorrow is #Tanabata!)

I finally did some hands #art #practice !

I've not drawn something for a while so here's what I'm working on for #BikiniDay! #zzzero #nicole

More head construction process, this time from following Hood's #coloso course.

Trying out different methods of head construction, this one thanks to Niii-san and his #coloso course

Could not be happier with how this commission turned out! Thank you so much @saiivia.bsky.social !!

#Dokomi haul part 9 and just 1 #Nicole print wouldn't do so I finished the day with this piece by @hirosenpaii.bsky.social which I'd seen online but now I know who the artist is and can follow them!

#Dokomi haul part 8 and I *finally* found a relatively SFW #ZZZero #Nicole print by @kikoldraws.bsky.social which was my main mission for the day (of course I had to venture into the 18+ area for this) Especially great to see something in her cunning cutie outfit!

#Dokomi haul part 7 and I did *not* find as many #zzzero prints as I was hoping so of course I could rely on @expulse.bsky.social as part of the ZZZ rally! Not obvious without a video but this is a really nice and shiny foil print of #Burnice ❤️‍🔥

#Dokomi haul part 6 and I went for the full artbook + set by @pattikou.com who I've been following for a while, had no idea what I was getting but extremely happy with it! Look at that hair!

#Dokomi haul part 5 and I just had to grab these after spotting this artwork of #OshiNoKo by @sdsmod.bsky.social (it's one of my favourite series) especially love that reflection of Akane as Ai!

#Dokomi haul part 4 and I was not able to resist 3 for the price of 2 on these prints by @rythae.com I don't even play HSR but I love their style!

#Dokomi haul part 3 and my favourite single print is this of #EllenJoe by @yunyang.bsky.social who was lovely to chat to and I wish I'd bought more stuff now! So I've joined their Patreon instead 💛🖤

#Dokomi haul part 2 and I had preordered this gorgeous set of prints and photocards by @say0ranarts.bsky.social who has simply incredible use of colour, these will take pride of place I'm sure

#Dokomi haul part 1 and the first thing I did was pick up @beneceadraws.bsky.social 's artbook, had no idea which artwork might be inside but I LOVE it! Very happy with the classic Gameboy pokemon charm too, as I'm old enough to have played pokemon red on one! The wheel of Kirby granted me Isabelle!

How to continually improve at art! #ArtEd #ArtTutorial #DrawingTips #HowToDraw

First time I've ever commissioned anything! I love it! 🖤💚💛

Ever missed out on a big art trend? Only realised golden bikini week was a thing after golden week? I've made a calendar you can import to know about them in advance! ziedritz.art#/art-trends-... #呉服の日 #百合の日 #ビキニの日

@rythae.com is this your dokomi exhibit? my.dokomi.de/con/exhibito...

Telling myself to stop redoing this so I can try something else 😅first drawing of an #oc !

Still chipping away at this! Need to finish it this week really to align with other things. Nearly there if I ignore the lack of background 😄 #oc

Started colouring this! Every bit of it is giving me trouble 😅 So I'm learning! #oc

I've not drawn never mind posted something recently other than some quick sketches as practice. I'm usually happiest at this stage (the lineart) before I flatten it out with colour so today's aim is to avoid that! First appearance of my first #oc

I'm really excited to announce that I've opened a Patreon page! Check it out if you are interested and would like to support me. You can get exclusive content, high-res images, early access, WIPs and more! (sometimes even spicy art 🥵) Thank you for supporting me! 🥳💙 patreon.com/ErikVarts

Quite a reworking of the earlier Caesar sketch thanks to some good feedback, but I don't know if I'm going to finish it, just something I don't have the eyes to see with yet that I don't like about it

Esil is sooo cute😍 #SoloLeveling #SoloLevelingS2 #俺だけレベルアップな件 #俺レベ2期 #Esil

Is this anything? #zenlesszonezero #caesar

Boo! #zzzero #zenlesszonezero #nicole

Still a work in progress, but getting there! #zzzero #zenlesszonezero #nicole

Another day, another Nicole #wip Today with flat colours! #zzzero #zzz #zenlesszonezero #nicole

#wip #2 of this - Boo! Probably just jump to lineart from here

I was supposed to finish the Nicole piece I was working on by Saturday and, er, didn't. The art class I'm in has a project for us to completely redo it with feedback over the next 2 weeks (um, 10 days now) so... here's Nicole selfie take 2, #wip 1!

Model references for Cunning Cutie (Nicole Demara) - Zenless Zone Zero

Back on this Nicole Demara illustration after a month! #zzz #zzzero

Birthday fanart of @rimuurin.bsky.social ! That makes this my 2nd finished illustration and I'm really happy with some parts of it but want to change how I colour the hair to be more similar to how Rimuu does it (at least, one day in the future)

Great references here for Nicole's new outfit

Trying the approach of flat colours straight onto the sketch, no formal lineart. Time to find out if the Gatan course on 5 step colouring has paid off!

Little traditional art copy of Nicole Demara from #zenlesszonezero Don't think I'll ever be happy with how these turn out compared to digital art

Going to try and finish this in time as a birthday surprise! 🤫

Started doing a lighting study but now I want to fix the proportions and feel I might have picked something too ambitious with how many small creases there are in the subject

Today's lunchtime sketch, before I make a mess of it with markers that I'm not very good with 😅 #zzz #zzzero #nicole #demara

I'm also following Gatan's 5 step colouring course on Coloso. First attempt at using it following along from her example in the chapter it's introduced. The highlight isn't at all right but I'm mostly happy with the rest, though I need to practice blending a lot more.

Today's lunchtime sketch, based on a gorgeous illustration of #aerith by @kurehana2 on Twitter

First #wip of my 2nd illustration, is it cheating that I posed a model in DesignDoll to get the base of this one? #nicole #zzz #zzzero #zenlesszonezero

Practice of body construction. I'm not that happy with these but that's what the practice is for!
