Digital portrait study. First is without editing. Second with boosted contrast. Can any artists explain why I unintentionally avoid using the full value spectrum when drawing!? #procreate

Annoyed that I didn't nail the placement of the subject's right eye. Here's a shot with Liquify, though studies are allowed to have mistakes.

Found a moment to practice learnings from Italy. Demo'd on none other than our pretty villain, Soldier Boy. #TheBoys #watercolor #painting

Learning to use alcohol markers. So far, they're great at forcing me to carefully choose colors. #ohuhu #alcoholmarkers #art #artstudy

Can't say I've ever drawn someone poppin' off before, but that's what I get for using a tennis pro as reference! 🎾 #sketch #art #posca #acrylicmarker

My 2025 #ArtVsArtist! This year was spent studying various mediums and their trade-offs: digital, gouache, alcohol markers, acrylic markers, watercolor, colored pencils.

Wanted a single-page swatch chart that was easily glanceable for my Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils, so I made one. Realized how critical saving time is when producing art. If you want one, download it here: www.etsy.com/listing/4406... #art #fabercastell #polychromos

By chance, an allergist questioned my generic blood labs showing that I’m allergic to peanuts. And thanks to more precise testing, we’ve unlocked that I can eat processed peanuts. Here I come, dandanmian and mooncake. 🥜 (I’m not a doctor, do your own research and consult an allergist.)

Bruh, I visited my family home recently and found this shirt. I’m pretty sure I designed it in my youth, but have no idea why and to whom it was distributed???

Definitely experienced some designer-fright when I saw the background/contrast on this notification. 👻

As a control freak, I'm drawn to watercolor because it defies control. Painting Wednesday's tears did not go according to plan — yet somehow, the result is still wonderful.
