when your very being was merely held together by a silk ribbon and forced to stay productive producing sweet sweet fruits. Skull, flower, strawberry, ribbons, on a circle badge. That's it. Love you all, keep it together, stay strong.
A sketch, not quiet clean. Cranium stitched with ribbon and strawberries growing from the inside.
So, the drawing is the same as the previous post but the girls hair are way shinier now and almost fully textured. Also the doves are now alive, well at least the eyes, but the body is still flat for now.
It's the doves illustration from before, but this time the base line is all done. Some line weight variety is visible now. One of the lady's hair is dipped in texture.
Simple lines forming shapes on paper, looks like about 5%done? Shadow of the photographer can be seen, clearly she's not a professional one. Oh and there's also a pen shown, like anyone ever inquire about what pen.
Three birbs gossiping with a tired scarecrow, a couple on the look out so no one would eavesdrop.
Sketchbook paper, a couple of girlies portrait, a pair of doves, and one dove missing a partner (the partner is not sketched yet so no worries). Oh and blossoms at the lower corner. Every being on that paper stare into the distance, none looked at the viewer. It may create a disconnect between you as a viewer and the art piece. But hey, maybe you're just not a threat for the characters (there's no need to be cautious of you). You're a cool bean.
8 leg, head bigger than the bottom, little hair here and there, greyish with solid black marking on it's back. Jumpy with low fps when moving.
A crude sketch of a scarecrow with a jute sack head, short dress and stick in a cement bucket for a stand. The artist wished to animate this but not sure where to start.
Birth but the head is facing the "wrong" way. Butterfly chilling on a blooming flower. Flowers blooming, petals peeling revealing blood red insides.
A gorgeous offwhite bone structure with yellow/bloodred flower petals decoring around it. Giant swallowtail butterfly above, looking a bit pale. Do you think the color green can fit in this carousel of colors?
Oh hey look, there's a snorlax on top of an unfinished drawing. They look somehow similar. Both of them are yawning, aren't they the cutest?
Basic lineart of a drawing, no lineweights, no details, just outline of shapes. Looks like it could go with some colors but the artist is afraid of them fancy colors. Better not get your hope up high, just expect the usual black lines.
Pencil on sketchbook, with a rather clean pencil lineart drawing on the paper. The lines are forming a skull emerging from a bed of petals, flowers blossoming above, a winged bug nestled in between. And a large watermark on top of it all haha.
Pencil on a sketchbook, that could be a skull drawing, but its's too early to tell.
in a still swamp where the wind didn't blow, you see a great blue heron standing there. Something's off about that giant bird. Could it be that you felt great sadness coming from it, or could it be the fact that the heron have a human female for a head?
Unapologetically showing a single bee's behind, flying mid-air. A goth looking letter B sits at the bottom page like some cool streetwear brand design.
A shot of a messy top table. Earphones, pens, and opened sketchbook on it. Half done ink drawing, the center object is quiet done but the surrounding is still rather empty. You can't help but to feel sorrow emanates from the illustration.
Ink on paper progress
hand and pen and paper with sketch and a caffeinated jittery brain
supercool looking web store front, showing awesome art prints on sale.
A detailed pencil sketch of a lady- wait, she's got the body of a heron. Quick! Look away before she turned her head and catches your oogling eyes. Or do you feel your feet sinking into the swamp, then it's too late for you.
Vague shapes of a cursed chimaera of a bird and a human.
Krampus lickety lick candy. You want?
A couple of plump goth chicken resting on a branch with climbing roses around them. One keep an eye on you while the other is trying hard not to directly look at you. Caw, caw, better watch your maw.
A couple dark shaped avian creature surrounded by light foliages. The scene is void of colors. The creature is as dark as it can be, their colors are slowly leaking to their surrounding.
Unfinshed ink drawing. Bird looks like it's hollow from lack of ink.
Is a black birb!
Opened sketch book on a table with pens and paper all around. You might think the drawing on it will be colored but noooo, it will be black and white only.
Cover page of the coolest coloring book you can download and print yourself.
Buff merman hanging out with a giant betta fish. Technically the fish's brain is almost as big as the merman but the fish's eye totally didn't reflect any meaningful intelligence. No shade, fish just need to keep swimming, just keep swimming, keep swimming, swimming.
Pencil sketch on a white sketchbook page. It's crows and roses, a bit romantic but we'll see where this goes.
Cutie patootie couple o' ghosties howling under the moon with a few batsies flying over it. It's possible that they're from the victorian era because of the lace end of the ghost's sheets.
A harpy trying hard not to stare at you but she's curious.
Lines to shapes, checking composition, balancing out stuff. Pencil on paper be looking pretty sharp.
Pencil on not a blank white paper.
You heard a giggle and this young girl is the last thing you see as sparkles comes zooming right at you.
red color across the canvas, shapes resembles skeletal structure.
A creepy kid smiling on tan paper. The original reference photo is way cuter than this. I understand now why medieval painting of children can be creepy. It needs more practice.
Sample work in progress coloring page.
Traffic light and genies of corresponding colored light coming out of it. The green was just happy to be there. The yellow one would charm you out of your wish. The red one is way too eager to grant your wish. Your wish is our command, they said. Dare you to summon the traffic light genies?
Two design of cats being jelly like wriggling around swimming on air. Remember, the fluffy bellies are a trap!
An array of curving lines intertwined with each other. Each of them flow with continuation like small waves in a pond. Depicting a humanoid fish creature and a big round body goldfish as her companion. The scene is devoid of colours, inviting you to fill it in inside your headspace.
Comparing 2 drawing from 2019 and 2026. From only one lineweight to multiple depth and more details and textures.
Outline done, only a few key details in. At this point it looks ok for a coloring page. Yet the artist wanted more details in. Will this be a full black and white illustration?
Miss Ives giving you the side eyes while wearing lace detailed dress, framed with three roses and three lit candles. And maybe she needs three more souls, if you would provide them?
Muscle-y merman play fetch with his water dog, a rough rough preliminary sketch.
Male torso sketch with faint pencil scratches. It's a progress!
The short cocktail glass in front of you looks a bit fuzzy. Maybe because you already had a few drinks before? The glass was a bit chilly to the touch, a few swirly metal ornament at the bottom grips nicely in your hand. A few ball shapes floating in it, you could almost swear they followed your every movement. You take the glass closer to you face, the smell of mint leaves floating barely covers the swampy smell bubbling to the top. Dare to take a sip?
Poké trainer sitting criss cross applesauce in between three cat-emon.
Greedy goldfish trying to snarf the aquaplants in it's merhuman's hand. You can tell from her expression that the Merlady is like "sigh, could you not." Both creatures in this illustration have the same colors, could they be two form of the same thing?
Strategically placed seaweed on a mermaid *wink *wink
A scene out of a medieval fantasy story book, filled with strange occurings hidden in it. Sorry I can't spoil what's the mystery. What I can tell you is, the tavern is empty and there's a lady sleeping behind the counter.
"Best 9" grid style collage of an artist's allegedly best work.
The photo looks grainy, you know when you try to take a photo of your computer screen. Maybe the grainy effect can have the same effect as the Glaze filter? The author can only hope. Anyway, the drawing is like a quarter done. The background is lightly shaded, the main skelly boy is almost complete, the fox is a bit more defined, while the flowers remain blank. The whole thing is devoid of "colors", nothing but light and shadows. If you read this far, thank you! I hope you have an alright day, don't pressure yourself to make it great. It's ok to be just ok.
A drawing pen on a sketchbook. On it, a viper flirting at you and a young one staring dead into the distance.
