Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 23/03/2026The unrelenting urge to paint a variety of small papers 010
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 25/08/2025December cannot come soon enough, I just want to be done reading textbooks that suck Elon musks dick for no reason. How about a new edition that analyzes literally any other company. Or a footnote explaining the total unreliability of stock price as a value indicator. 010
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 22/06/2025Unfortunately for those who hate me and seek to destroy my confidence, I drew this dryad last night. 030
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Markers are a fickle tool (these are the ones where I made the most mistakes) 010
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Sketchbook post! Playing with markers & styles & color palettes, falling back in love with faces, hair study, elf 150
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Today we are all in 9th grade English class, for some reason 000
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Portrait complete! Gouache on watercolor paper. Learned a lot, will do this again. I considered some changes, but I'm not a stranger to ruining my own art projects with overambition/perfectionism. I'll try to be looser next time, telling myself the stiffness here fits her personality. 🌝 021
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 18/05/2025The film is off! Hair + final details are my last 2 steps. 010
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Oh yeah and here's that hair study from whenever that was 100
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Have to wait til it dries to peel off the masking film. Then going in to finish hair with a chromatic black (Prussian blue + burnt sienna) & decide on final steps... Here are a couple additional color + brush studies I did today before the background. You can see where I tested the masking film. 100
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 18/05/2025I decided I wanted frisket film so I could mask her / fix her hair at the background stage. So I had to wait til the art store was open, bought frisket, then had finals week for school & some work days & some other stuff going on....BUT AT LAST HERE WE ARE 230

Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 07/05/2025thinking about the art of brett allen johnson again www.maxwellalexandergallery.com/brett-allen-... 020
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 05/05/2025"rodent" "wild" all I'm saying is he looks like he'd be good at snuggling. 000
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Yeah one day it's selfies and cool buildings and the next day it's 110
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 29/04/2025How Freya is choosing to groom herself on my lap right now 062
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 27/04/2025It's been really good getting my art muscles warm again this week with my D&D portrait project. I've also been sketching unrelated stuff. 020
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Stopping for the day, happy with progress, think I accomplished what I wanted with her face. I'm back to work+school tomorrow, but workload permitting, I'll be able to do more before next Sunday. I also just did a quick hair study before I cleaned my palette, I'll post that sometime. 130
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Breaking for lunch, this is where I'm at - need to reference my studies to finish shading the face and then reference my sketch for the hair - might have to wait to finish because I want to mask off the whole portrait to do the background, but I need to buy masking film 140
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Started shading and blocking in dark areas with more gouache. Also fixed a couple mistakes. Less progress than I'd hoped over the last couple days due to lack of sleep + schoolwork. Hoping to do more tomorrow, since I have no other plans 🌝 110
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Update: inked and washed with burnt sienna micron and acrylic gouache 110
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Copied her over onto arches cold pressed watercolor paper, which I WAS excited to work with - it's rougher than I had realized so my sketch is VERY fuzzy. If I can get sharp lines with ink it won't matter but if not, I might switch to bristol paper 130
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Current rough sketch - clearly haven't landed on where I'm going with the armor yet but I needed to do a bigger sketch before I switch to the watercolor paper I'll be using so I could make some final decisions. Still not sure on a few things but I can live with this basic design 180
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Armor studies from Pinterest & other internet. I don't usually play fighters and I have grown very attached to leather armor type characters so this is an exercise in, I don't know, not being insane about something I'll never actually wear? 130
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Stylization sketches - for these I looked at stock models (jookpubstock and idk the other one) and tried to stylize real people. Thinking a lot about simplification, exaggeration, the natural effect of ink, where I want to be on the spectrum from realism to cartoon 120
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Angle studies w/o reference to fix the problems I saw on the prior page and also to remind myself that I do know how to do this 120
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 22/04/2025First rough sketches of character - the first one was to get a sense of overall design and pose - I find the concept of full plate armor terrifying and challenging. Other 2 sketches I didn't like and the features felt wrong for the angle 120
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Warmup sketches of expression references I had saved in my Pinterest - I want this character to look very guarded, bordering on suspicious 130
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Thread of progress on my first d&d portrait in 2 years, which is also my first ever traditional media character portrait 1. Warmup sketches to remind myself how body go together Reference: Andrew Loomis figure drawing book 2160

Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Just saw this on my Pinterest feed & I'll be darned if it don't map perfectly onto my wardrobe. 110
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Best conversation I've ever seen in reply to this post 0181
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 02/03/2025Time to turn on the vacuum cleaner and show them who's boss 030
Lizzy @apocalizzy.bsky.social · 02/03/2025This morning I helped a classmate over zoom and her desktop background was a soft femme Jesus illustration. I couldn't find it but basically imagine if this one was run thru the faceapp "girl" filter 020
