hi

Graphite pencil

Created a pet portrait of my friend's puppy in Harry Potter gear!

"Hold your head up, you silly girl. Look what you've done. When you find yourself in the thick of it, help yourself to a bit of what is all around you, silly girl." Frustration, frustration, and the anxiety that goes hand-in-hand with it. It's hard to let these things go.

The one subject that I don’t like to draw, so I have to force myself to draw them. Whenever I do draw them, they end up looking weird.

Hmmm

It was really interesting to work with depth and hair in this one! This art was made on Xp-Pen Deco Pro tablet. Can't recommend it enough, really solid product!

Based off a broken statue, my proportions are a bit funky but nice to see practice paying off, no way could I have drawn this last year :)

So much gold paint on this one, it's difficult to capture in a photo !

This is a painting I did in Procreate based on another artists' character.

Fruits have insecurities too. From the series "Forlorn Fruits"

This pen and ink drawing is in a poetry book.

"There's a North in us all, but my North can't hold me anymore." Oh man, what a day/week/month it's been. Today was the end of first semester, a bit hard to believe half the year is gone, a bit hard to believe we still have half of a year left. The past 24 hours have been nothing less than mental chaos (maybe my coach was foreshadowing all of this when he asked if I was ok last night...) Anyway, here I am, here we are.

I would have to say that my headphones are my constant companion. Music drives my working day.

I drew based on a photo. It became a little darker than the original. I drew as an exercise. Tools: Derwent graphite pencils ; Paper size: A3

The challenging thing with just using pen is that I can't paint over a mistake. I usually redo a face more than once. I didn't mean to make their face so stoic, it makes them look like a statue.

Done first using pencil and then added color in Photoshop. Angel Ganev's challenge on Instagram.

A sketchbook spread where I played with positive negative space with a limited color palette

I doodled the cover of this sketchbook almost 2 years ago, and I'm dying to give it a second shot! To be continued...

Completed my first commission of the year — inspired by my Dream Tree mural in Bristol, for a couple from the neighbourhood who walk by the mural nearly every day

Many beginnings. Beginning 1. Kitten was very very lazy. She used to hunt slugs but now she only hunted carrots. She was such a good carrot hunter! * Starting is easy, it's the middle that is often a muddle. And I won't even mention the endings. Here are some beginnings for children stories that flitter through my head.

Pink tulips on toned tan sketch paper. This was my first time burnishing. I used the toned tan paper so that I could better see the effects of burnishing with a white pencil. I used Prismacolor soft core pencils.

Really enjoying experimenting with soft pastels. This piece was the first time I used Pastelmat. It's an amazing surface to use with pastels as it takes loads of pastel, the colour stays vibrant, and there's minimal dust
