I should have guessed it was because of the bold and brash replica I painted that's hanging in the basement, lol. a hit with contractors everywhere

a replica painting of "bold and brash" by squidward tentacles from hit nickelodeon TV series spongebob. Mostly orange and yellow acrylic on canvas with a weird teal guy with a big nose in the middle

working on character concept art for my short film and defaulting to Photoshop without really thinking about it. I LOVE Procreate but am working at my desktop PC on a cintiq. Would love recs for other drawing programs I should check out!

I can't speak for everyone but it seems like so far the short film journey consists of alternating between devastating anxiety and a sense of pure godlike power. pretty cool!

warmup drawings from the last couple months. Getting a lot of mileage out of my brass animal collection for this

Set of 10 digital drawings on a white BG, most of them studies of brass animals with basic lighting and shadow.

caitlin cadieux @smilodonna.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

ok but wow!!!!!! God it feels SO good to draw with intent again

Red-violet colored pencil drawing on gray toned paper, featuring the portrait of a nude model with the head and neck particularly detailed and rendered. The shoulders and chair in BG are only lightly drawn in.

it is with GREAT joy in my heart that i announce that i have finally learned how to draw

Red-violet colored pencil drawing on gray toned paper, featuring the portrait + upper body of a nude model with the head and neck particularly detailed and rendered and the shoulders, chest, breasts, and BG element (a wooden chair, indistinct) lightly and loosely drawn.

Ive started playing a game with Neil where I pick words out of book of the new sun and ask him to guess what they mean. Which led to me being all like "you don't UNDERSTAND he's like the BEST to ever DO IT" in a very annoying way last night lmao

Very excited to discover that there IS, in fact, a life drawing artist group that meets regularly in my area. Also had a great experience in a recent portrait class at the arts center here. Drawing portraits used to scare me to death and it feels great to have made so much progress this year.

Photo of white paper attached to a brown artist board with blue tape. An unfinished portrait of a woman is drawn lightly in graphite on the paper. The facial features are most developed with the hair, neck, and shoulder area very light and un-detailed.

Am I possibly connected to any scholars of antiquity who may be able to shed light on how exactly a giant marble candelabrum like this functioned? I'm guessing a bunch of candles affixed to the plate at the top, but I'd love to know more

idk how to use social media anymore. BUT as I feel established in my life routine I am finding myself interested in creeping back on. Here is some tiny (3x3" squares) drawings I did of sculpture in the Ephesus Museum

Three colored squares (left to right - pink, yellow, dark teal) with colorful drawings of broken marble busts from the ancient city of Ephesus. The leftmost is yellow and teal, with a broken nose and a missing top of head. Middle is pink and teal, also missing top of head. Rightmost is yellowgreen and purple, a mostly intact face with curly hair and beard.

I spent a week in Turkey looking at ancient ruins. Research trip for my grad project or massive special treat for me? It can and is be both

Photo of a headless marble sculpture in the ancient city of Ephesus, standing on a plinth. Stony wall and tree in the background. A white and brown cat is loafing on the statue's feet.
