#Inktober #miniature I love doing loose drawings like this, focusing on the line art more than the detail and hatching. My hand needed a break anyway! A bedroom floor with scattered toys was my inspiration.🥰 #sketch #drawing #cartoon #dollhouse #toys #cute #traditionalart #lineart #micron #ink

#Inktober #Drawing Today's prompt is Relic, so I went with another #Pokemon fan art of an #illustration card from #artist Yashiro Nanaco. I didn't want to copy it perfectly, just showcase the scene in my style. #Yamask #Relic #hatching #ink #micron #traditonalart #sketch #October

# 67 #Machoke I'm leaving this one unfinished for now as I am preparing for Inktober. I'm going to pace myself so I can draw every day! I love the original Ken Sugimori artwork. #sketch #pencil #ink #drawing #wip #traditionalart #art #artist #cartoon

#Pokedex # 63 #Abra! I first saw this #Pokemon on a card when I was a kid and thought it looked so cute. What a frustrating time I had trying to catch one in the games though... #sketch #drawing #ink #micron #cute #artist #traditionalart #hatching #cartoon #nostalgia #Gen1 #art #artsky

Although my birthday isn't until October 6th, we had an early dinner celebration at my In-Law's house last night. Here I am trying desperately to keep this dang tiara from falling off my head. All I want this year is to see a starry sky and some artwork!🎂 #birthday #turning40 #artist #artvsartist

It's gonna be raining all day so maybe I'll draw about Kyogre, I do want to sprite a bit this morning as well... But! If you'd like, feel free to follow me and my friend Pearl on our respective Instagram accounts! We both started up one not too long ago so if you have one, by all means!

#Pokedex # 33 #Nidorino! This is one of the first #Pokemon that many of us saw when watching the cartoon, or playing the games for the first time. I loved drawing this evolution line, and it's now complete! #sketch #drawing #art #cartoon #hatching #ink #traditionalart #artist #lineart #artsky

So, my computer's power supply is having issues. I will try to post some drawings soon while it gets fixed, but I won't be as active since I'll be using my phone.

With a larger following comes some boundaries. We aren't negative in my space. I won't tolerate it. I enjoy constructive comments as long as they don't come across as rude. You can say nice things without "balancing" it out by telling me what you hate. Let's enjoy art together, or else you can go.

I bit the bullet and created an #Instagram account fairly recently. While it's not the primary place I will be posting, if any of you use it more frequently than bluesky, please follow me. Same name, Pearlstardust. Hope to see you there!

#Pokedex # 18 #Pidgeot! I used to have a hard time seeing the difference between this #Pokemon and Pidgeotto years ago. Having drawn this entire #evolution line I don't have that problem anymore! Only 11 left in Gen 1 to draw! #drawing #sketch #lineart #hatching #micron #ink #crosshatching #artsky

Based on a series of convos I had with @pearlstardust.bsky.social this morning were tales of oddities and wonders that would even make Ripley blush! All from the crypt of...Public Broadcasting Service! #oc #ocsky #art #myart #pbs

One girl telling her friend: "Have I ever told you about Martha?"
The friend wonders: "Who's Martha?"

The girl puts her hand on her friend's shoulder, shaking her a bit and yelling: "THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO!!!"

The girl continues in front of some dark clouds: "THERE WAS A DOG!"

The girl continues, now much calmer: "...who talked"
Her friend is starstruck and replies back: "You're kidding"

I'm heading out to a bloodwork appointment soon, but feeling nervous because my energy levels have been low all day. I'm trying to hype myself up by promising myself some ice cream after it's done. I hate doing this by myself. #MS #Pikachu #doodle #sketch #drawing #traditionalart #disability
