[REDACTED] This is [REDACTED], one of the antagonists in The Gravedigger, and actually one of the characters I have struggled the most to create and design–personality and looks. #conceptober #inktober #drawtober #OCart #characterart #art #artist #conceptart #sketches #traditionalart #character

The city The Gravedigger takes place in, Soli, is inspired by Venice, Italy; Annecy, France; and Giethoorn, Netherlands. ✨️waterways✨️ Reference: Italy Revealed by Charles Fitzroy #conceptober #inktober #drawtober #landscapeart #conceptsketches #art #artist #conceptart #sketches #traditionalart

Everett Starr! He has been here since the very beginning of the story, and he is one of the few characters whose name has actually stayed the same! #conceptober #inktober #drawtober #OCart #characterart #art #artist #conceptart #sketches #digitalart #procreate #drawing #originalcharacter

Ace Kovich! Here is one of the most important characters in The Gravedigger! He is one of the first characters you, as the reader, are introduced to, and he plays a very important supporting role throughout the story! #conceptober #OCart #characterart #art #artist #conceptart #sketches #digitalart

This is the current running synopsis for my story, The Gravedigger. Just like the whole story, it is a work in progress. #conceptober #inktober #drawtober #writingsynopsis #writer #writing #author #art #drawing #artist

Both a meme and an introduction! The Gravedigger is my murder-mystery fantasy-thriller. This is a passion story I’ve been working on since 2019, and it has evolved a *lot* in that time. It is a WIP, but I’d like to publish one day (!!). #conceptober #inktober #drawtober #artmemes #memeredraw #art

It is October, which means it is prompt list season! This year, I decided I would showcase art, concepts, and behind-the-scenes work of my story, The Gravedigger, and the world it takes place in, Apira. #conceptober #inktober #drawtober #artpromptlist #art #artist #writing #promptlist #author

I've always felt steadier with a pen than with a brush, so I love being able to do detail work with my acrylic markers...it makes the result so much better in my opinion 💙 #acrylicmarkers #arrtx #arrtxacrylicmarkers #glasspainting #floralpainting #art #artist #acrylic #painting #glassart #florals

Style Study: @/olguioo ! I had so much fun practicing with the different brushes and coloring. I still think the first one (sprouts!) is my favorite! 🌱 #procreate #artstylestudy #digitalart #art #artist #digitaldrawing #lavender #plants #orange

Like wdym this is correct? Acrylic doesn't mix with water?? Watercolor behaves like this, not acrylic??? 😵 Disclaimer: I have no idea what I am doing 🤡 #underpainting #artsins #acrylicpaintingWIP #WIP #acrylicpainting #painting #acrylic #canvas #art #artist

My favorite gouache painting I've done 💙 🎨 It is a mix of gouache paint and colored pencil done in my sketchbook! I then scanned it and turned it into an art print. 🖼️ 📅 Shop Opening: November 🍂 #gouachepaint #painting #shopsmall #artprint #art #artist #paint #painter #gouache

I discovered that making a cat doodle look like my cat was as simple as making the eyes point outward. My cat has such sad eyes that this drawing immediately looks like him, lol 🐱 #art #artist #sketch #sketchbook #pensketch #artdoodle #catdoodle #catart #catassistant #cat

Faux Stained Glass 🎨 I originally made this as concept art for a stained glass effect I wanted to do on a picture frame, but I liked it enough that I made it a print! 💙 #digitalart #fauxstainedglass #artprint #art #artist #procreate #digitaldrawing #illustration

Akitsu 🍊 @zakitsu.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Inspired by a bunch of Arrtx art on Pinterest 🍋 💛 I did this in my sketchbook, but I did copy it onto a canvas board. In addition to making the lemon canvas board, I made 5 others...coming soon 🤫 #arrtx #traditionalart #acrylicpainting #acrylicart #art #artist #sketchbook #lemons

When it comes to sketching, I've always favored traditional over digital. However, I've been trying to get back into digital after a bit of a break. 🖌️ 💭 Do you sketch digitally or traditionally? #digitalsketch #workinprogress #procreate #art #artist #digitalart #drawing #digitaldrawing #wip

Work Doodles ✨️ Specifically, my OOTD 👗 These were done in 2025, back when I had a different job, but they are still very reminiscent of what I wear now--business casual featuring thrifted pieces 💙 #art #artist #drawing #doodles #OOTDdrawing #OOTD #traditionalart #coloredpencil #blue

I am not sure calling her "demon girl" is really what I want to go with, but I wasn't sure what else to call her! I think she turned out really cute for what was originally just supposed to be a quick sketch! ❤️ 📅 Shop Opening: November 🍂 #shopsmall #smallbusinessowner #digitalart #art #artist

Plants seem to be my default when trying something out. 🌱 I have so many different versions of a lavender plant as I try out different things. I do like how this one came out. 💜 Program: Procreate 🖌️ Brushes: @/olguioo #procreate #artstylestudy #digitalart #art #artist #lavender #plants #drawing

For such a simple drawing, most of the time spent was on picking the "right" orange. Even after this timelapse...I changed it again. 🍊 🧡 Program: Procreate 🖌️ Brushes: @/olguioo #procreate #artstylestudy #digitalart #art #artist #digitaldrawing #orange #fruit

I saw someone else use Arrtx markers to draw a flower on a black background, so I thought I would give it a try! 🌺 I thought this color scheme turned out really pretty and looks so ethereal 💙 #arrtx #acrylicart #sketchbookdoodle #sketchbookflower #art #artist #acrylicpainting #arrtxmarkers

I missed out on Ohuhu's 10-year anniversary drawing challenge (due to being busy), so when I happened to see Arrtx's complementary color challenge, I told myself I would make time for it! 💙 #ArrtxMarkerChallenge #Arrtx #art #drawing #artist #traditionalart #drawingchallenge #acrylic #painting

Sneak peek for an upcoming post 💙 I took on a drawing challenge, and this was the sketch for it! Obviously, this is much nicer than a sketch, so I don't really know if I should call it a sketch or lineart since I was tracing my digital piece for it. 💙 #drawingchallenge #artwip #workinprogress

Getting inspired by fellow artists! 💙 What started as a debt to a friend for homework assistance became a fun drawing exercise in my planner! It was fun seeing how other artists stylized these birds. 🤍 #pigeons #art #stylization #illustration #sketchbook #artist
