I doodled this dramatic frog the other day and I love him sm. I'll likely turn him into a sticker :3 #art #sketchbook #doodle #illustration #frogillustration

Take time to enjoy the little things. Another in the ‘Motivational Kaiju’ series #art #kaiju

A piece I made for a colourful prompt which made me think of clowns and excitement but also overstimulation and uncertainty. I aimed to capture dual emotions in her face, meant to be a bit unsettling. I'm really pleased with the painted edges, bringing the theme together. #art #portraitart #clown

I did a knitting challenge to raise funds for cancer research in Feb (raised $300!). I ended up making a floor turtle to mop up spills in the kitchen, a holder for my hand sanitizer and socks for my partner (*´▽`*) #knitting

I had started a Valentine's inspired illustration but I had to study this week and didn't have time to finish. It's not explicitly valentines so I will still finish it for sometime soon :D

From sketch to a finished watercolour painting. I tend to sketch from faces, so when I get to the body, it leaves a lot to be desired :P I took the sketch onto my iPad make the drawing more interesting after learning some things from my fanart era last year. #art #watercolor #illustration #portrait

Experimenting more with an abstract workflow for portraits plus a limited palette. I'll first lay down a wet in wet layer and then define the portrait after that layer has dried, leaving parts of the underpainting visible. #art #watercolorportrait #watercolor #portraitpainting

I have a commission I've been sitting on for a little while and I realize I just don't like how I did it. The figure is fine but I hate the background. I will try to rework the background but I may just have to redo the whole thing

I need to make more silly art.

Year of the Horse print is now live on my Etsy! 🐎🏮 Man, horses are hard to draw but I had fun learning! This is my year, so hoping for good fortune for all my horse friends 🐴 Visit stephanylayart.etsy.com #art #smallbusiness #chinesenewyear #lunarnewyear #illustration #watercolor #yearofthehorse

I get a bulk order for my new years cards every year and this year I decided to get them printed by a 3rd party. I did not foresee it being so difficult to paint the gold details on this paper >.< I have a few more days to get it figured out

Made myself a DIY "in the round" row counter using shrink plastic. The proportions are a little funny tbh but the beads are so cute! I need to make more with shrink plastic. It's so satisfying when they are shrunk down #art #knitting #fiberart #diy #craft #shrinkplastic

I somehow got it in my head Chinese New Year was at the end of February (like 20 something) but it's the 17th (*ﾉ∀`*) gotta get a move on omg

Working on my yearly Chinese new year illustration 🐎 #art #illustration #watercolor

In love with this bonnet I knitted 🧶😈 my friends have already asked to commission me for their own. idk how to price knitted stuff though esp since I'm kind of slow :p #knitting

Playing with acrylic gouache in my sketchbook with some Pinterest redraws. I prefer it to traditional acrylics because of the opacity and the matte finish is so nice but my painting style is more suited to designer gouache, I think. #art #acrylicgouache #illustration #skulls #mushroom

Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I made these stickers this year to give to my family and friends 😺 #art #watercolor #catillustration #stickerdesign #illustration

My mom and her coolest kid (hehe) Experimented with watercolor ground on a primed wood panel and I really love the look of it! Similar look to oils with less hassle so I will play around with it more #art #portraitpainting #gouache

Made a new watercolor sketchbook. This is student grade paper but one day I'll be brave enough to use cotton paper haha #bookbinding #sketchbook

It's my birthday! I would love some reposts of my art (´｡• ω •｡`) #jayvik #arcane #viktorarcane #jaycetalis

I've really been struggling with motivation lately but I have things I need to be working on. I picked up this unfinished painting of me and my mom for less pressure and to get the juices flowing #art #portraitart #gouacheart

I bit the bullet and ordered genuine ink for my printer. I previously bought aftermarket ink and it was incredibly fugitive. I was going to wait, especially with this month having some high spending events but I couldn't stop thinking about it. We'll make it work!

Yesterday, my little sister was in the car briefly and SID - Enamel was playing. She goes "this is sick. I'm going to save it!" I've never been prouder.

Some of my travel journal from my trip to Montreal this summer. Lots of food lol #art #watercolor #traveljournal #foodart

A fun illustration I did for spooky season 🎃 I have prints available for local pick up. Unfortunately, we have a postal strike right now but I will list on my shop once it's resolved! Putting on her face Gouache on Arches HP Paper 10 x 8 inches 2025 #art #spookyart #halloweenart #gouachepainting

Some rainbow sunbeams this morning. I've been very sick all weekend. I haven't had the energy to do much and just been in bed. I think I'm finally on the mend now (•◡•)g

Having issues with my printing set up so I'm experimenting with getting my work printed by a third party

Tiny portrait I did last year. 1 inch x 3/4 inch #art #watercolor #tinyart #portraitart #watercolorportrait

Yesterday, I was working on my computer when Marcel went "I'm just going to scooch in here real quick" and laid across my arms (he's not an affectionate cat) I was able to work for a bit longer until he rolled over onto my keyboard...

When I was working on Kapeek, I had a lot of extra yellow paint so I painted this piece as well. A friend of mine bought it shortly after :) Cut mango Oil paint on wood panel 7 x 5 inches #art #oilpainting #foodart

Here he is with a hat to make him beautiful

WIP for a commission I'm working on. Sketch is digital but the actual piece will be in watercolour #art #petportrait

Can someone close the door lol #art

yula for a vampire au 🧛🩸 #oc #art

Here's the final product! I honestly want to redo this one with a more dynamic composition but it was a good test run! #art #watercolor #foodart #cendol

Had a wonderful time at the con this weekend! So much fun and saw a lot of amazing cosplays and art! ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝ I didn't get into the photo card workshop but that's ok. I only saw one Jayce cosplayer but it was in the canteen so I didn't want to bother him ┐(‘～` )┌

A quick comic I drew about something that happened last night. I forgot I put a pile of laundry on the bed which Marcel had claimed as his throne. Of course I couldn't disturb his Majesty #art #comic #illustration #catart

Some loose gouache studies #art #gouache #sketchbook

A customer came in with a bunch of oil paints his late mother left behind. They were old but some were salvageable! Now, they are mostly oranges and greens which I don't actually use often but I guess now I will lol (￣▽￣*)ゞ

My cat never sits on the couch proper, he only sits along the top or on the armrests. I was so surprised to find him bundled up in the blankets just now (o´∀`o) (He looks grumpy cause I woke him up mb)

Some fish in my sketchbook. I always find fish drawings/paintings so charming but it's not my wheelhouse haha it was fun though. (Ref from Pinterest) #art #sketchbook #watercolor #coloredpencil
