First time oil pastel. Concepts and Hope: as a woman struggling with autism spectrum disorder I grew up not understanding basic concepts in the world around me. Maybe this is universal. I didn't understand why we had to go out to play in school for example, or I didn't understand other people might not be as honest as I always had been. A lot of concepts have a different meaning for someone like me. So here I am naked between the concepts, misunderstood but hopefully looking up. Maybe one day the world will be more like my ideals are, maybe I will create a circle around me of likeminded people, maybe the world will never change enough but I will find peace with myself. One day I will get peace, one way or another. Hope. Oh and yeah, it's a mess with the oil at the bottom. Does anyone have some ideas to improve my technique?

I really enjoyed the Inktober challenge and this was my favorite drawing from the month. Been trying white ink for a new challenge, on grey toned paper. I've also challenged myself to draw more animals, so that's been fun. I can't remember drawing an elephant before, but my joke was that this one is ready for Coachella!

I did this drawing as watercolor practice. I hadn't been doing waterclor drawing for quite long time. It took a couple days to finish it, but I enjoyed it. It was really worth it.

The new Dragon Ball Super: Beerus remaster is very impressive so far! As a Dragon Ball die-hard, I felt there was work that needed to be done :-)

Beep boop bam! Here, I'm trying to draw from one little-known RPG=D I've always really liked Xiangling's palette! And the design as a whole. It had to happen-

This art has been partly inspired by Wednesday Addam's series. She is showcasing her goth personality via her hair, makeup and attire.

Its been a while. Here is a new one that I have been working on for a few days. Its my first attempt at using graphite powder for the black background. I used a Lyra 9B Graphite Crayon and ground it down myself into powder. Worked really well. I also purchased a Strathmore Series 500 mixed media roll. The amount of high quality paper for the price - it can't be beat. I am excited with this drawing!

It has been a while. I have been working on a project that can't be posted. I decided to try re-doing pictures that I have already posted. This is a re-do of Paul Newman. I wanted to see if I have improved. Drawing consistently now since late November/early December 2020.

Hannibal is one of my favorite shows and I’ve been wanting to draw the Wendigo for a while. Freehanded, done with pencil and ink pens

I've been trying to learn how to use Blender and this was one of the exercises I did to practice what i know

Should I color this sketch in? I really like how this turned out so I want to know your opinion.

I suck at titles but hey this one has been sitting on my iPad for a couple of days. Also I am convinced that if I draw a single background I will drop dead.

This jazzy creature was inspired by the many butterflies in my garden. The weather has been so sunny and warm recently. What better way to while away the lockdown hours than to spend time with nature.

Its been a while since I've uploaded, so I hope you enjoy this dragoness I drew.

It’s been a crazy summer that’s kept me from posting much, although I’ve kept fairly consistent drawing in my sketchbook. With a cross country move and taking our oldest child to college, we’ve burned about 4,500 miles on the road in the past month. After getting our son settled in his dorm yesterday, my husband and I have become official members of the Empty Nesters Club - giving inspiration to today’s sketchbook entry. • • • #sketch #sketching #sketchbook #sketchbookpage #sketchbookart #sketchaday #dailysketch #ink #penandink #pensketch #illustration #illustrator #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #emptynesters #nest #birdnest

I'd been out all day, I'd been out all night. It was now the next morning, time to go back. The train would be here any minute.

Chari is one of my favorite folks to draw! I have been drawing a lot more while out and about. Using the cheap graph composition notebook, non-expensive art supplies and going to a coffee shop to draw people. Sometimes I can get a likeness with my mind, eyes, hands and draftsmanship and other times it is the "many moods of my subject." :-) This is a place (in my book) where I can learn from my perceived fails. ****The images are sideways! I know this. I do not know how to make them portrait orientation. They started out as portrait-scaped orientation and now they are landscape. Well..... Okay then. The figurative landscape. Hahaahhha! Cry. I even tried the visa versa. Nope. They want to be on their sides.

I haven’t been that active here so, rather than waiting a day to post each of my new works, I’m going to just stick with my latest. And this isn’t exactly an oc, but I could draw him again in the future. I also don’t have a name for him yet, so you can write a suggestion in the comments. I drew this since I’m kinda facing a dilemma and sketching helps me clear my mind and think.

Dandelions are one of a butterfly’s first food source. This is part of a sandwich bag art project I’ve been doing since 2008.

For the MightCouldDrawToday challenge. This week's prompt was Fox. So I've been drawing a fox a day this week. ^_^ (2/22/19 is on a different page.)

Painted in gouache.

A drawing-in-progress of native flora near my home and in my garden. The Lilly Pilly fruits will be made into jam while the Grevilleas provide food for the bees.

My name is Noah Ivan, and I want to share the painful ordeal of losing my entire life savings due to a scam. I invested $55,000, which I had worked hard to save for both myself and my son, into a cryptocurrency exchange called CoinFx. At first, everything seemed legitimate, and my investments appeared to be growing. But when I tried to withdraw some of my funds, I encountered a “pending withdrawal” message on my account. I reached out to CoinFx’s customer support multiple times, hoping for a resolution. However, instead of helping, they froze my account and left me without any answers. Weeks passed, and despite all my attempts to contact them, I received no real solution. It became clear that I had been scammed, and my money was gone. Feeling desperate and with no other options, I began searching online for ways to recover my funds. That’s when I came across someone who recommended Salvage Asset Recovery, a professional service dedicated to helping people reclaim money from online scams. Although I was initially skeptical, I decided to give them a try, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. I reached out to Salvage Asset Recovery, and they immediately began working on my case. They communicated with CoinFx on my behalf, and after a few days of persistent effort, they helped me unblock my account. To my relief, I was able to recover a significant portion of my investment. Salvage Asset Recovery expertise and dedication were nothing short of amazing. They provided the support I needed during one of the most challenging times in my life. Their professionalism gave me confidence that I wasn’t alone in trying to recover my funds. Looking back, this ordeal has taught me valuable lessons about the importance of being cautious when making online investments. I now understand the need for thorough research and the risks involved. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I strongly recommend reaching out to trusted recovery services like Salvage Asset Recovery. They were instrumental in helping me recover my money, and I am incredibly grateful for their assistance. You can contact them using the details provided below. Telegram→ @Salvageasset
