Doodle of my DnD character, Lichen. Excited for the upcoming session! #sketch #dnd
A watercolor sketch of a black haired satyr with outward curved horns. He has copper furred goat ears that turn downward with soft mud brown eyes on a sorrowful tan face, small scars littering it here and there. Wears a cream colored fencers jacket, with an azure, sleeveless diamond quilted gameson, and thick canvas weave shorts with blue embellishing on the edging. Belted with holsters for his rapier and side sachel for his journal. There are adjustments to his clothing to let his tail out. He has goat legs with no shoes, copper colored with the occasional black dapple. He's brandishing a rapier, looking forward into the distance.

She knows there's other places but it's right next to me 😭
A shameless tabby mix cat, her name is Iosefka, is sleeping on a Ceaser's pizza box on table. The shot is tilted at an angle.

I'm working on redoing some color swatches for my usual mixes. Was kinda getting tired of pulling out the sketchbook from the archive (my bookshelf) to double check something Now I'll have them in a binder :x

2nd of my Triptych, this time with Tick! There's only one stage of drafting -- the rough sketch/mock-up phase ✏️ At this point I'm getting more confident with using acrylic markers, and I'm landing on a style for the project. #artprocess #illustrations #oc
A 4 color broken border Acrylic marker illustration of my character Tick. Tick is a muscular person with a orange and black belted body suit, her fists raised in thick white gloves as she stares forward in determination. The background is a grey green, a black shadow with scattered orange scintilations. A white, decorative star is over her left shoulder.Watercolor Rough Draft Sketch of Tick. It leans more toward a red, using Pyrrole Scarlet (DANIEL SMITH W/C), in the color section, and it's a little less dynamic than the final piece, as her hands are lower and only one is in frame. Instead of the grey-green background, I used Davy's Grey (HOLBEIN W/C) for the mid-tone. 

A few notes are written to the side: "Whites in eye, everything [else] is grey." "Star is OK." "Dodge hands like a nun to a hooker."

(I was making fun of myself on that last one, I do tend to avoid drawing hands if I have to.) 

I used one of my favorite textures of W/C paper, Aquarius II. Good for stacking color layers and low bleed on fringes. Unfortunately, Strathmore discontinued the series a few years ago. I had a bunch of testing sheets from a few years ago and now there's only a few left.

My OC Aster, a taciturn android who is quite good with his hands. First of a triptych, made to see how adding different levels of process work would affect the end results of my artwork (but really group shot of new ocs from a while ago =x=; ) This guy was painted directly on with no draft stage.
6"x8" Canvas Sheet lllustration. Background painted on with a Davy's Grey gesso tint with an android in a red, white, and black color scheme drawn on with Sharpie acrylic markers.

In the original post, I had miswritten that it had no sketchwork. It technically does! I immediately realized I meant that there was no rough draft stage to this one.

Because the markers do take a few layers to get a uniform layer of color down, some of the areas appear more translucent than others. In the face area, the construction of his head shape where the impression of his lower nose and frown (as well as an eye that was placed too high originally) can be seen as brighter lines. I personally think it's a cool effect.

After 13ish years I've finally finished this sketchbook! 🎉 It's pretty beat up and it's lost its binding but it sure was a trooper. As you can see the first page is faded as heck #sketchbook #art

I had this habit of not finishing sketchbooks and starting new ones when I was a kid. In the last few years I've been getting them finished. Then I find gems like these from when I was 15 and, like a response from a future, say "I'm still here, you're still here. You never gave up." 🏳️‍⚧️ #skyart #art

Painted a watercolor doodle of Rayman from two years ago. I don't think he gets enough spotlight beyond diehards (That's me, I'm a diehard ;3c ) #rayman #art #doodle

My workspace set up. It's a bit cluttered.
An artist's cluttered workspace. It has an L-shaped desk with various art supplies strewn about,  a computer/printer set up, a raised hutch shelf filled with art supplies, reference books, and knicknacks. To side is a 4 tier tray of paint mediums and brushes, books and game controllers tossed in haphazardly.

Sketchbook pages for thee -- I've been getting back into doodling and painting more the last few months. It's very exciting, but my skills are rusty in some place. It's slow going, studying to fill in the gaps again.

I was looking through my old sketchbook and found these sketches of Alex from 2021. 4 years feels so long ago now! (I like how that Illustration turned out peeping at it now) In other news, I'm learning how to use bluesky and I'm feeling dumb lol #sketchbook #alexstreetfighter
