I'm participating in art fight for the first time this year! Who else is participating? #artfight

Another study but this time in procreate! Honestly I really struggle with this program. How do you use it?? #art #procreate

Another birthday gift!! #art #birthday #gift

Almost a month later... I finally colored half of it 😭 It turned out really cute!! Onto the other half!! #art

What's she holding? ✨ #art #watercolor

Another birthday gift for a different friend! Coincidentally, these friends share a birthday haha. #art #birthday #gift

Birthday gift for a friend! I gave their OC a turtleneck :)) #art #birthday #gift

Trying out this tiny Baohong paper. It turned out really nice! I enjoyed this paper #art #watercolor

Another portrait study using watercolor! I like how this one turned out. #art #watercolor

I procrastinated really hard on this one T_T I started it over a month ago and finished it much later. I kept getting scared I would mess it up but after some practice with plein air, and getting comfortable with faces, I finally finished it! #art

My faces are considerably improving!! My hard work is paying off 😭 I am so happy! Drew this one with a friend on vc ❤️ #art

Doing some testing in Procreate with textures and brushes. This one turned out nice, but I think I can do better next time #art

I've always loved the little Moleskine backings but never knew what to do with them. So I started experimenting with adding them to my sketchbook! This sketch turned out so cute, I'm looking forward to coloring it! #art #wip #sketch

All my hard work studying the anatomy of the face again is paying off!! I'm so elated about how much I've learned! This felt so much easier and more natural than before. I'm still struggling with the hair, but I'll tackle that soon ^^ #art

Studying more face anatomy! It's getting easier for me to recognize the planes of the face 😄 It's exciting! #art #study

After studying the planes of the faces, I am getting more comfortable with different angles. Played with coloring here! #art #painting

Worked on this illustration some more, focusing on the shirt this time! Now it actually looks like fabric. Still have more work to do for his outstretched hand, but good progress! #art #wip

Another plein air study! This time at the ocean ^^ Did this one with Holbein gouache #art #study #pleinair #gouache

Did some plein air in the park :) It was a lovely day out! I learned a lot in this one. I would like to do more. #art #pleinair #study

After studying the anatomy of the face and doing some studies, I went back to this drawing and improved the face!! Still a wip, but I'm very happy to see positive progress ^^ I have no idea how to do backgrounds, and the shirt looks wrong, so I'll study those next! #art #wip

Doing this portrait after reviewing the facial anatomy was HUGE!! I started to understand a lot of things, like the placement of the shadows, form of the head. I'm excited to be learning and growing! #art #portrait #study

I've been studying the anatomy of the face since my last attempt at drawing from imagination. I've learned so much, especially on the keystone of the brow, and took notes of what I'm making mistakes on. I can already see it improving my little doodles🙏 Thank you Michael Hampton #art #study #anatomy

I wanted to take what I learned from the last study to practice but... I still have so much to learn. I am not very happy with the face or the clothes and I have no idea how to proceed on the background. I will study more and improve this in the coming weeks! #art #wip

(late post due to Thurs chaos) I'm really happy with this study!! I learned a lot from it and I will enhance my personal art with what I learned going forward! I used M Graham gouache for this one :) Also this is personally my favorite so far! #art #study

Portrait study using acrylic markers! Really want to push my coloring knowledge. I really like the lighting in this one! #art #study

I want to push my coloring skills some, so instead of copying colors directly how I'm seeing them, I'm going to push them farther into different color tones. This one turned out pretty good! I used Himi gouache for this in my Talens sketchbook. #art #study

I got some Royal Talens Art Creations sketchbooks, and I've been trying them out with my favorite mediums! I sketched this one with alcohol markers and a Uni One gel pen. It turned out super cute but the marker did bleed through. Any recommendations for a mixed media sketchbook? #art #sketch

I got a Himi gouache palette a while ago and never opened it. Finally got the motivation to open it and try it out. I hate them lol. They don't act anything like my Holbein's... Looked into it and I guess I'm not the only one who thinks they are kinda dog. Oh well, I'll use it for experimenting #art

I wanted to turn this previous sketch into a full illustration because I liked it so much! The perspective is way better and I also think the overall composition is better. There are a few things I'm not happy with and where my skills fall short, so I will come back to this after I do some studying.

Self portrait! I've improved a lot since my last one ^^ I did this with alcohol markers and lined it with pen :) #art #selfportrait

I've been playing around with colors and pen work lately. I wanted to study flowers more and get better at depicting them, so I made some little watercolor rectangles and drew flowers that were close in color to the one I laid down ^^ I love how this turned out. They look like little stamps! #art

A bit rusty with my digital skills 😩 gotta get back in it #art #portrait #study

I did a small concept sketch of these two cuties! I like how it turned out but the bg was not done in perspective (oops). I decided to turn this into a full illustration, so for the full illustration I'll fix the perspective and other issues. But overall, I really like how it turned out :) #art

I made this little purple quartz critter! She didn't quite turn out how I wanted but that just means I'll have to study more :) #art #creaturedesign

Tried the smooth Rhodia Touch sketchbook with watercolor, but it doesn't take up the pigment very well. May be something about the coating of the paper. Maybe it's suitable for gouache, so perhaps I'll try that for this sketchbook instead! #art #watercolor #traditionalart

My first full dual page illustration! I was really scared of making this two pages at first but I am so happy that I did. It was challenging to match the colors because the middle had some glue, which made the colors look weird in some parts. I really enjoyed working on this! #art #watercolor

I'm late, but fire horse for LNY ✨ #art #lunarnewyear #firehorse

This one turned out so cute! Pen and alcohol marker :) #art #drawing #pen #marker

Portrait study in pen and a splash of alcohol marker! #art #pen #ink #drawing

More ink drawing!! I'm really proud of this one!!! 100% ink, no pencil :D #art #ink #drawing

Lately I've been doing my studies and drawings in pen! Really intimidating, but once I started, it turned out to be a lot of fun :) #art #pendrawing

Designed a character around a made up mineral a friend of mine made! She turned out super pretty and I want to draw more of her 😭

I've been on a food grind 😭 It makes me hungry

I drew my babies 💕 They're so precious and I love them 🥰

Sunflower! 🌻 Trying a different approach to editing/taking photos for my trad art :)

Watercolor rose 🌹

I made some custom brushes, namely to mimic my watercolor style! Let me know what you think ^^ I'm very happy with these brushes, and I have a plan for some more soon

Some value studies

Finished! Used acrylic markers ✨

Wip! :)
