I updated Wyvern's bio and made minor design changes. I am satisfied with this. I want to draw him in a more simpler style and in different poses. #LearningToDraw #DrawingIsHard #DigitalArt #FanArt #Dispatch #DispatchOC #OriginalCharacter #OC #OCArt #Isekai #Anime #Drawing #NeedForSleep

I spent the whole weekend creating another Dispatch OC. I wanted to create someone who was reverse-isekaied; I took inspiration from Final Fantasy characters and Tetsuya Nomura's with belts and zippers. #LearningToDraw #DrawingIsHard #DigitalArt #FanArt #Dispatch #DispatchOC #OriginalCharacter

Spider-Man using Brett Booth's Nightwing art as reference I'm kind of happy with it. I definitely need more practice with anatomy but I got tired. I'd like to revisit this in the future and create my own Spider-Sona in this pose. #LearningToDraw #Drawing #SpiderMan #SpiderManFanArt #FanArt

I just wanted to draw a random thing and not care if it's accurate or as perfect as I can get it, and this scene from The O.C. lives rent-free in my head. #LearningToDraw #DrawingIsHard #WelcomeToTheOCBitch

Drawing (comic?) of a guy asking "You know what I like about rich kids?" before punching another guy and continuing, "Nothing."

I played Dispatch a while back and I've wanted to make an OC ever since. Meet FunGuy. He has the ability to induce the effects of magic mushrooms. I went for a hobo-wizard/goblincore kind of vibe. "I'm lichen the new me!" #Dispatch #DispatchOC #DontDoDrugs #OriginalCharacter #OC

Shout out to the time I got permabanned from r/LearnArt for saying "I don't have any tips, I just wanted to say I like the art!" Literally my first and only post. Between that and the whole 'prints' fiasco, what is it about art that brings out a certain kind of people?

I've been messing around with a signature; (I'm not being modest) I don't consider myself an 'artist' and I don't feel like I'm at a point where I NEED one but it was fun to design. I could refine it but for now, I'm pretty happy with it.

No one will read this except me but I want to draw more this year. Last year I ended up stopping around Oct because I was losing motivation and I wasn't in a good place mentally but I'm trying to be better. I don't want this to be just another hobby I give up. I hope you're drawing more, future me.
