My final drawing for #AugustAdventures2026!! Prompts are "trees" and "treasure", so a squirrel and acorns felt fitting :)))
A digital drawing with a painted paper collage look, featuring a squirrel sat on a branch picking acorns. The colours are vibrant and warm, and the squirrel looks happy.

Artists, show what built your style! It was hard to choose but finally I went with: Nature, John Bauer, Moomin and Ivan Bilibin. #art

I just wanted to post something, to let you all know I'm still here. Also, my art life has been very unproductive. I have a lot of ideas and a lot of things I have promised, and a lot of projects I hope to be able to work on, but the actual 'making of art' has been hard and slow.

Summer is here, and life has been full of everything. It's still hard to find energy to actually do the duties I'm supposed to. I often find myself just wanting to sit down and stare out of the window, endlesly. I wish I had the luxury to do nothing, but sadly that's not my part in here.

Interesting 🧵 about social media and interactions. FB, IG, X, TikTok, YT shorts etc want people to look and endlessly scroll. A user can see 100 posts but none of them are really important. It's why IG doesn't show you the people follow and it's all about "the algorithm" and not follows

I was going to list this on eBay but it’s not worth a whole lot and I would like to see it go to an artist that needs it. This is a Canon T3i that comes w two batteries, a charger, strap and an external flash. The auto focus is busted on the lens so it is manual only. $100 OBO w free US shipping.

It's frustrating as AI often seems to offer answer with high confidence - but with science there are a lot of aspects that are anything but obvious and black-and-white. I've received medical evaluations that are anything but certain and sometimes you just have to live with it & trust the specialists

Rather enjoying my rather recursive current process of painting directly over a printed out digital sketch/underpainting, then finishing the resulting piece digitally again. Digital work allows me to figure out a piece as I work on it, but it cannot match the texture and colour of real materials.

That's a super fun process of art! I often have it the other way: I sketch traditionally because my thought process is better that way, then I clean/crop/move around/figure out the details digitally and print it out to be colored. But your way seems so fun I want to try it too! And the end result ❤️❤️

making a Large Drawing by putting together several small drawings
A drawing made up of three panels. In one, a woman is standing under a colonnade in a garden holding a letter. She is looking at the viewer. There is a cat sitting on the steps below her. In the second panel, a great egret is standing in a pond. There are waterlilies on the pond. The egret has a gold chain with a key around its neck. At the edge of the pond, behind the bird, is a closed metal gate in a brick wall overgrown with vines. In the third panel, the sun has just set behind a large house half obscured by trees. A stone bridge leads towards the house.

That's lovely! I remember trying to print lines onto watercolour paper when I was younger, my issue mainly being the small paper size it allowed me. And sometimes paper, as I tried out which ones printer could handle. Nowadays I print the lines on regular papers and use light table. Slow but okay.

In spring I always get the urge to paint flowers, which reflects in this scenery tutorial from last year, and the upcoming one will feature a dreamy, floral environment as well~ 🌸 Stay tuned! This tutorial is available on my Patreon for the Apprentice tier and higher: patreon.com/lindenshield...
A photo of a square painting, placed on a wooden table and surrounded by paint brushes, paint tubes, coloured pencils, branches, and leaves. The painting features a clearing in a misty blue forest with a fallen, mossy tree trunk in the center of it. Glowing white flowers grow out of the moss. Small pale purple flowers are scattered in the grass around the rocks in the foreground.

Yes! All the different mediums traditional art offers... it feels like magic, can affect so much, feel so different! It's a reason I've never fully migrated to digital art, even though I know I'm at a disadvantage sometimes staying like this. I'm happy to hear when others find joy in it too ❤️

Both have soft expressions as they hold hands. Gold decorations frame the corners of the image, and the text "We've Always Been Here" takes over the right side in flowy, mock-gold text.
