Which palette do you like better? A or B? #watercolor #painting #figuredrawing #sketchbook #colortheory #agallo

Studies in graphite of a variety of one-handed blades from 1400s to modern day. The stiletto is definitely my favorite, but they were all fun to draw. #drawing #swordarts #weapondesign #sketchbook #blackwing602 #pencilstudy #artfundamentals

More object studies in graphite, ft some Arts and Crafts style decor and interior design by Josef Hoffmann (Wiener Werkstaette). Building up a mental library of forms for crafting interiors and props for character illustrations. #sketchbook #pencildrawing #illustration #blackwing

object studies in graphite from a design history reference book, just sketching stuff that caught my eye while flipping through it for some inspiration #sketchbook #blackwing #prop #arthistory

Redrawing an old sketchbook sketch on 18x24" drawing pad. Been a while since I worked in this scale, but it's great for loosening up linework. Gotta keep those fundamentals sharp ✏

Been on a red-purple frequency this week. Not a color palette I reach for often but I've really enjoyed it. Naples Yellow Reddish, Perylene Red, Diox Purple, Chromatic Black, Unbleached Titanium. Both on gessoed watercolor paper.

Should I paint this with watercolor or acrylic gouache? #figuredrawing #figurestudy #figurepainting #lineart #sketch #femalefigure

Preview of this month's patreon exclusive, first time doing a self-portrait in oil and I loved it, although it was much more time consuming than digital (obv). Still, there is a subtlety with oil paints that is much harder to achieve digitally, for me at least. Every medium has a tradeoff.

Tree bark study with prismacolor pencils #sketchbook #drawing #coloredpencil #colorpalette

Tease of my upcoming patreon painting and my first self-portrait in oil 🥰. I've avoidred oils for years because of the cost and time required but no other medium comes close to the satisfaction and flexibility I get with oils. I'm ready to commit 😁 (Gamblin paints, Trekell brushes, gessoed 640gsm)

Been going hard on oils the past ~week so I decided to paint my next self portrait in oils... I've only ever done my portraits digitally. Excited to see how this piece develops comparatively 😊 (done on heavyweight watercolor paper covered in gesso) #oilpainting #femalefigure #panties

Guess it's time for a new palette knife

I'm not usually one to get horny for a brush (skill is far, far more important) but ghat daym do I love the texture this one lends to my stroke. #selfportrait #figurestudy #illustration #lineart #drawing #curves #curvy #eroticart #miniskirt

Portrait studies testing this digital pencil brush, I love how they turned out. I usually don't like digital pencils but I just stumbled into this texture experimenting a custom brush and ended up with this really nice soft graphite texture. #digitalart #sketch #lineart #illustration

I was just messing around with custom brush settings last night and I ended up drawing these funny little goobers. They remind me a bit of Scott C's characters, which I love. So much expression from just 3 marks :). #digitalart #sketch #psbrush #characterillustration #whitepencil #drawingfaces

Some overdue portrait studies from my 100 portraits project. My PC died a couple weeks ago and I had to get it repaired, and that threw a wrench in my gears, but I'm getting back on it. I really love the way theses turned out! #digitalpainting #portraitpainting #characterart #colortheory

a colorful little snake digital painting study I started today, still rough but I really like how the shapes are coming together already #animalillustration #digitalart #illustration #wip

finally managed to muster up enough executive function to work on this pibble portrait again #art #petportrait #illustration #dog #pitbull #animalpainting #painting #digitalpainting

God damn, the colors in this are stunning. I wish I could paint gradients this subtle 😚🤌

I take a modicum of comfort in the fact that the paradise these hypocrites think they're bound for has never and will never exist.

I'm beginning to understand why Dante wrote the Inferno.

Deactivated the bird. Deleted the app and the bookmark, and now just wait for it to expire. I expressed my concern to the people I'd like to see app hop, and I hope they join over here so we can reconnect, but yeah. I just can't anymore.

I just want to paint pretty pictures and shitpost but instead I gotta live through the stupidest possible dystopia.
