Sketching out some hybrid pumpkin spiders for spooky season! Focused on building up texture and density in the web pattern using single-color linework.
Filled in this sketchbook page with heavy black ink and dark blue marker strokes to make the orange and yellow glow pop. Drawn with technical pen and alcohol markers.
"It's fascinating. Hornets are one of the apex insects, but their nests only last a season

Faster than you think. Simple finale. Drawn with the 'hay' technique, using a computer mouse, all with one brush. I've published the sketches before, so you can follow the creation process. The 'hay' sketch on one layer, then another on the other, on and on until you get the lineart, then shading and colors. That’s all.
I've completed my part of the art trade with @daydreamerdahlia!
At first, Anya was just in a dress, but then I thought it was kind of weird that Caroline was wearing a coat, and Anya was just in a dress outside, so I redrawn her coat.
The scar and earrings are still there! But I didn't want to hide her colorful coat under a shawl.
Green goes well with her red hair, and to blend in with Caroline, I went with green.
I imagine it as some kind of girls night out. Well, not a girls night out, Caroline in her male persona Smarty, I imagine her name already carrying weight and no one will bother them!
Tommy can chill at home this time.
