some more studies today done with mostly my hard square brush and a teeny bit of blending, trying to figure out how to render soft surfaces better. dont have any new pieces yet sorry! ive been super focused on understanding rendering better #art #beginnerartist #artstudy

didnt finish anything today but i was working on trying to render more by imagination! there were actually some structures in it i really liked in the end. might render it more tomorrow or start something new #art #beginnerartist #wip #artstudy #portrait

some 10 minute poses from life drawing today! not as many crazy knees this week #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #lifedrawing

do i call it sketching if it took like an hour? i wanted to show off how tiny it was on my screen though as i was drawing it. need a light? #art #beginnerartist #sketch

i forgot to post this before and i forgot to say that its the 11 month anniversary of drawing! anyway heres yesterday's study's timelapse #art #beginnerartist #artstudy #arttimelapse

still trying to figure out my rendering issues, spent about 3 hours and 40 minutes on this one! but i felt like a return to muscular women was in order even if it would take a while #art #beginnerartist #artstudy

WIP! part way thru a spur of the moment illustration from a couple nights ago. thought there was something symbolic about praying to a dead, skewered, strung up priest. something about acheron in star rail inspired bits of this #art #beginnerartist #WIP

another render practice! about 2h 45 mins i think, but i tried not to blend as much and leave her hard in a few areas. hope u like how the rendering turned out! also gave her a background cause i wanted to #art #beginnerartist #artstudy #portrait

still under the weather but heres some rendering practice i did of kit harrington with almost entirely my square brush. almost 3 hours! rendering is definitely one of the harder things for me not to overdo #art #beginnerartist #artstudy #portrait #arttimelapse

tried to work a bit on my rendering today and i have no idea how i managed to pull this off! about 2 hours or a bit less! still a little unwell so slow on the projects for now. i need to study my own timelapse to figure out how to do it again #art #beginnerartist #artstudy #portrait

who up at 4 am sketching cosmic horror yuri? our intrepid investigator finds the friendliest prisoner confined in the deep. dont ask what that black stuff is on the muzzle, it leaves your memory after taking a photo of it. #art #beginnerartist #sketch #doodle

im like nauseous and have a headache today but ive been slamming out so many head studies- very nearly 200 in the past 45 days! big improvement in structure, just need to start getting that from imagination #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch #portrait

she grainy like bread with this paper #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch #portrait

done with rendering for the time being! made a number of adjustments to existing forms and replacing old shapes with better new ones. only took about as long as the daughter of suffering painting! "The Amateur Vampire Hunter" #art #beginnerartist #vtm

WIP- "The Amateur Vampire Hunter". still working on getting the shapes in there and rendering but i can prolly call it sorta finished by the end of the day tomorrow! im not gonna stress too much about overdetailing like the knight and jester, for example #art #beginnerartist #wip #vtm

WIP! just a little past thumbnailing. i just wanted to do a portrait and it spiraled out of control until it looked like a vampire horror movie key frame! i cant stay away from monochrome red lately. #art #beginnerartist #wip

quickly dumping off some more life drawings we did today! 10-15 minutes depending on the pose. very sleep deprived but that squish was anything but deprived. #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch #lifedrawing

i dont post much nsfw art, but my artistic whims take me any which way and i want other people to be able to do the same! the nsfw often carry with them some exploration of my own personal pain and thats not something id want to deprive anyone of #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch

didnt make much today but ive been trying to bring some of my studies into digital and do turnarounds of portraits from a single reference. its hard and isnt always pretty but i know these kinds of adjustments are something i gotta learn! #art #beginnerartist #artstudy

this poor guy when i started vs a quick sketch today! i think this is a really good example of how observational skills develop doing art. even with all the mistakes hes still way better. hope that this can be motivating as for what repeat practice can achieve #art #traditionalart #sketch #portrait

Show off the difference between your art at the start of 2025 and now! my absolute best attempt at realism like 9 and a half months ago vs today! i made a few mistakes but look at the difference in that structure #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch #portrait

heres some 10 minute or so poses from life drawing tonight! the owner of the studio asked for one pose where she changes 8 minutes in and then we draw on top of the old one to see how it changes, so thats why one has 2 arms #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch #lifedrawing

remember the wip priest? hes gettin a ground-up makeover that may or may not have a juice caboose just to increase the clarity of the image. heres the thumbnail draft! i might do the thumbnails for all 12 class key arts first before i render them! NEW || OLD #art #beginnerartist #ttrpg #indiettrpg

aaaaa didnt get any work done on any paintings today and mostly drew while in discord here have Savvy and Minseo being gay as tribute (i panicked and tossed this together as quick as i could) #art #beginnerartist #sketch #oc #ocsky

WIP #wip #art #fantasy

finally got around to rendering the remaining half of this painting! also changed some things around to make that cute lil guy, instead of making her witchy. pretty quick compared to some of the paintings i did a couple months back for my mentorship #art #beginnerartist #portrait

i was just trying to make a tiefling thursday meme and then i tried touching the watercolor brushes in csp to figure out how the heck they worked and 90 minutes later i had this if tieflings had freckles, would they also go on the tail? #art #beginnerartist #tiefling

It’s butt posting time (tiefling edition) #artsky #art

one little (big) mistake and my head practice becomes the cat meme with the knives #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch #portrait

been trying to warm up with sketches instead of exercises the past couple of days. heres my lil gender ambiguous clockwork icarus i doodled today! i cant believe i made that hand from imagination #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch

still working on this sketch by the way! "My Otherworldly Girlfriend Is Extremely Chatty" needs to be a new visual novel. i like her lil dendrite ears and neuron thingies. did i mention the triple tongue thingy? #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #oc #sketch #ocsky

oh yeah heres the messy sketch of me turning Savvy into a victorian librarian from yesterday! her overbite is cute as hell and u cant say otherwise. im very normal about it i was really trying to get mileage outta that charcoal brush huh? #art #beginnerartist #sketch #oc #ocsky

Quote with your very first #art of your OC vs the latest!! what a glow up lolol so we got Savannah (Savvy) and i drew her like within the first month (Oct 2024) of learning how to draw and on the right is my quick wip sketch tonight transforming her into a steampunk librarian #oc #beginnerartist

dang ive done a lot of expression studies lately, a lot of the newer ones have gotten done in like 15 minutes (but i did scribble a bit....) and yes, i had to snag one of kristen stewart. i need to study that hair for p gay reasons #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch #artstudy

felt cute decided to render for an hour instead of having her be a 20-30 minute practice head. something in her face just really made me want to stay and explore what she was feeling #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch #portrait

WIP started sketching a 4 armed neuron woman with 3 tongues today. very normal about it. ill work more on it over the next couple of days! yes, i was looking at Yaoshi in hsr and i cannot confirm or deny if i follow the plague's author #art #traditionalart #beginnerartist #sketch #oc

playin around with a charcoal brush while doing my eye studies today, kinda an interesting effect! needs some fine tuning, but they didnt come out half bad #art #beginnerartist #artstudy

was drawing the entire day but didnt feel very productive so here was basically the best page i did today! i didnt complete my eye studies, but i drew so many faces i think i get a pass on that one #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch

i promised myself i was gonna get started on a long term project today but i just couldnt keep myself away from trying to grind a way at face anatomy and perspective more. first one is a portrait i love then 2 no reference sketches i did earlier! #art #traditionalart #beginnerartist #sketch

i wonder why im going thru pencils so fast and forget ive gone thru literally an entire sketchbook doing nothing but asaro heads and portraits for a few weeks

said i didnt have time, but i did a couple more sketches before the end of the night. heres one! it feels a little old fashioned for some reason. thats a lot of hair to render! #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch

i forgor cause i was also a bit busy today, heres another sketch i enjoyed from earlier! i was learning a bit about how to shade an afro without just going in an drawing each lil hair. #art #beginnerartist #sketch #traditionalart

now that feet studies are done and dusted its time to do some eye studies- working on my facial features for the rest of the year! #art #beginnerartist #artstudy

wanted to get the painting done today for my 10 month anniversary of drawing but i only had enough time for a few quick sketches so have those! ignore the total mess of notes, im starting to understand the muscles of the face #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch

if you see this, post something monochromatic!

lil doodle i made cause i was captivated by a figure drawing i was doing. wanted to leave the hands in a realm where they could be suffering or healing #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch

i accidentally drew Lyse in my traditional style while practicing female head. something about the way i started to make the bangs made me commit and i dont regret it #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch #ffxiv

we love veenuma, beautiful shape language, top tier lips, chub chuggy cheeks

this has got to be the best structured head ive ever done by imagination. been doing loads of expression studies today and just decided to freehand a head for once and see what happens. men are easy tho, u can make em wonky #art #beginnerartist #traditionalart #sketch

pour one out for the bargain bin 4b faber castell on his last legs. hes brought me like 50 asaro heads and 25 sketches. some were pretty botched tho, like one today. so instead heres a quick sketch that kinda looks like Gale #traditionalart #art #sketch #beginnerartist
