Today's theme on r/sketchdaily is "yellow". So I drew an egg! The perspective of the bowl is a bit sus, but it's a quick painting, so I'm letting it slide! 😅 #egg #yellow #art #quickpainting #procreate #digitalart #theuglycat #theuglycatstudio

Yesterday, it was rat time! I painted this cute rat from a 1915 book! I think he turned out pretty cute! But then again, I'm biased. I LOVE rats! You can watch it here: youtube.com/live/zFGzktc... #rat #art #procreate #digitalpainting #digitalart #animal #cute #theuglycat #theuglycatstudio

Anyone know a good paper that is visually very similar to Hahnemuhle Photorag but is thinner (and cheaper)? Our printer makes us manually load thick gsm paper one sheet at a time and it's cumbersome for testing a bunch of prints at once!
