Been working on the next chapter of @psychosoph.bsky.social for a while. It is a #science #comic on #psychology and #neuroscience that I draw in my second art style. I’m now finished with the underdrawings and started lining. Give it a follow, if you want to get updates! #sciart #psychscisky 🧪

After practicing Grace, I’m also practicing Rocky. The movie design is so good! It’s so lively and cute! Bonus in the comment: How I imagine Rocky from reading the book a couple of years ago. 👇 #PHM #Rocky #comic #art #ProjectHailMary

I promised #fanart and I’ve been obsessed with #ProjectHailMary has for a while. Tried drawing something funny but I struggled with Grace’s face a lot. So, I did a couple of quick studies and will try to transfer this into my comic style later. #PHM #Grace #RylandGrace #comic #art

Various study sketches of Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary based on stills from the movie. Done in green colored pencils

🎨 I have some deeper thoughts on my art and changing things up, e.g. my very thin lines. Thicker pencils, like this blue KOH-I-NOOR one, might make it more expressive. 👉 Read my detailed thoughts on this on my blog: tinyurl.com/bdfc4xsp 🧵(1/3) #drawing #comic #traditionalart #sketch

Blues face sketches.
Face 1: Woman with dark curly hair crying but smiling.
Face 2: Woman with bright ponytail looking shocked.
Face 3: Man with curly black hair half in a man bun and a beard, smiling.
Face 4: Blond woman with long bright hair looking at you coldly.

Your alien space blob saviour casually burns food on a piece of scrap it causes rapid oxidation on for fun. #phm #projecthailmary

coloured comic of Ryland grace in the biodome. it starts with him laying in bed thinking "man, i really miss barbecue". he sits up a bit and thinks "hold on.."
later he is seen on the beach with an open fire, and a makeshift grill. His me-burger patties are on it.
Cut to two eridians, probably an engineer and a scientist observing from outside the biodome. they're flabbergasted that he's got an open flame in the biodome with zero safety equipment and very casually. They're saying "why the fuck does saviour grace have an open fire in the biodome, question?"
"is that why they asked for raw me-burger meat?"

💪 I’m back! Expect new #art experiments and maybe some fan art. 💭 Won't keep a regular schedule as before, though. You can read my thoughts on why on my blog: tinyurl.com/2s7fttyb 🎨 Anyhow, got obsessed with KOH-I-NOOR’s 2mm colored mechanical pencils! #drawing #comic #traditionalart #sketch

Sketch of Soph, the artist of this account, done in Blues colored mechanical pencil. She is smiling; her eyes are not drawn in behind her glasses to make her look mysterious, and she has long, flowy dark hair.
