I cannot figure out what I don’t like about this sketch… I’m trying to work it out, but I’m struggling and may just end up scrapping it

I’m hoping to get back to art again soon! Recovering from a broken ankle is taking longer than I expected tbh (I never broke a bone before) But, I should be out of my boot in 1-2 weeks, so hopefully my motivation comes back and I can get back to creating art soon!

My lil sis getting into the same stuff I am/previously did is amazing and I love encouraging her and talking about those things with her!!! It’s so fun!!!

still open!

Absolutely aching for a Minecraft Realms group with people

This took forever but I’m so proud of it! Probably my most detailed piece of art! #art #digitalart #scalie #scalesona #dragon #dragonsona #supportsmallcreators #supportsmallartists

Should an artist feel guilty / are they at fault for putting more time, effort, and dedication towards their own personal art rather than their commissioned? And not like where they’re putting NO effort into commissioned work. They still work hard on those commissions…

This was my first drawing on Procreate Pocket and I’m happy to report it’s not AS bad as I thought it would be! Worst part is my hands cramp more cuz it’s an iPhone, but it’s okay! So I will be continuing to work on art/adopts/commissions while I save up for a new iPad!

My lil sis wanted her first character so this is what I made her! She named it Chicken cuz she’s goofy like that and I absolutely love her for it!

Going to attempt Procreate Pocket despite having to using my finger to draw with it I found out an iPad isn't as expensive as I previously thought, so I'm going to try saving up. If you'd like to help (not expected, of course), here's my Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/arais_draws/...

So far this year: - Break ankle (first broken bone ever) - Paternal grandmother who I was close to passes - Insurance fucks over your fiancé and he may not be able to get insurance again this year - iPad dies so can no longer create digital art 2026 give me a break soon plz

Waking up to my iPad, officially dying, and then finding out that the same program I use on it I can’t use on my phone because it doesn’t support Apple Pencils on iPhone ONLY is just a wonderful start to my day.

UPDATE: I reset the iPad after doing my best to backup my Procreate files without missing any. Resetting helped a bit, but with the way the battery is operating I don’t have hope it’ll make it through the rest of the year. I’m going to continue using it til it officially dies

Just a warning to anyone who had previously received art by me/plans to commission me in the very near future!!! My iPad is likely no longer going to work! I’m currently doing my best to export my Procreate files to my iPhone to make sure they are saved….

I may or may not have a very soft spicy drawing coming out tomorrow, involving my favorite OC couple of mine…. 👀 Along with a speedpaint of it on my YT

I don't know if it's because of how I hold my apple pen; but does anyone else's thumb pad go numb after 2-6+ hours of drawing? Like, it's not necessarily the tip of my thumb, and it isn't the whole thumb... it's literally just the pad of my thumb. Is that normal?? 😅😂

I wanna make reaction videos one day, but it takes me watching stuff twice a majority of the time to process them and I feel like I’d either get shit on for recording the first watch and missing things, or for recording the second watch and having already processed some things 💀

Who was going to tell me that Ancient Greek Mythology was so fascinating?? Epic: The Musical got me started on it and I’m so desperate to learn more!!

Guess who broke their ankle

First page of my field guide! Jerboas!

What’s your favorite modern unique/not well-known mammal? I’m wanting to start a field guide/scrapbook thing and I wanna start with unique mammals but there’s so many to choose from! I’d love some ideas!

I’d like to make it known that when I play Baldur’s Gate 3 with my BF, I always create Arais and I make her a Dragonborn Druid with a Folk Hero background. She’s mostly a medic with the ability to talk to and shapeshift into other animals.

So… something happened 💍 #engaged

All I want for Christmas is motivation to draw more 😭😭😭

As if my life couldn’t get any FUCKING worse!!! No toilet, sewage water came up in our only bathtub, our washer is fucked, it’s frozen outside so don’t even know if it can be worked on (we have our own well and sewage system), it’s too cold and we’re too broke to go anywhere.

Starting to realize that the only people interested in my interests and passions are my BF and my best friend. No one else cares. They tune me out of if I even remotely talk about it. No one asks about me or how I’m doing in pursuing certain things. I’m basically invisible.

Sometimes I wish I would be smited; I’m ngl

Got to see the CPKC holiday train for the first time this year!!

I'm terrified to, and maybe it's stupid given the current situation of the world right now... But I'm pursuing a degree in art education next year after a LOT of consideration and encouragement from my partner, his family, and mine. I want to be an art teacher...

Did lots of crafts today!
