time

I followed along with my instructor from one of my udemy courses. This is my first time using a pen tablet, and my first time drawing/painting anything as well. I'm really proud of this, and can't wait to continue my course! I try to do one video a day.

Remembering a gentler time when an oil change came with a can coozie.

for the 20th of Juneforest today it's time for magic For this day I decided to draw the wizard cookie who knows many spells known as wizard cookie

This one take some time, I am still trying to figure out how to not make the art "messy" but adding some thicker line did help with it! Thanks for reading this :D

for the 14th of Juneforest today it's time for water For this day I decided to draw the otter-like marapets named Quell swimming at the bottom of a river while finding a shell

for the 8th of Juneforest today it's time to be colorful For this day I decided to draw the fairy Briza who, while flying in the middle of the forest, found a beautiful and colorful flower that caught her attention

Little Purple Hunter, enjoys the reward, of his hard work.

for day 3 of Juneforest today it's time for rain For this day I decided to draw fronk who one day got too far from the 9-volt house and ended up lost in the backyard, it just started to rain while he was trying to find his way home

My bike did not come with shocks; So, my spine feels every bump on the road. On a whim, I dropped by my local bike shop today to see if I could get a seat post with a spring in it, which would help with this issue. This employee was so helpful and had a focused cool air about them. I really admire people that are so focused on what they do and are very friendly at the same time. The seat post was only $10 and, since I traded in my old one, I got 5 bucks off of the new one too! My interaction with this employee and getting this good of a deal on bike equipment made my day.

for the 31st and last day of Maymaginations, today it's time to sleep For this day I decided to draw the adorable, very sleepy blue koala from bt21 known as koya but you are not alone since he has a curious special guest next to him, thank you all for enjoying these drawings I hope you liked it

for the 29th of Maymaginations today it's time for colors For this day I was thinking about what to draw and I remembered the occasion when Booger defeated King Nixels and that's when it occurred to me to draw Booger in front of a rainbow and a cubit in his hands

From Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time

This was done for a Springtime Art Competition back in 2022.

10x8 acrylic and ink on wood.

From Bronzino

Finally had a day to sit and scribble, first day in a long time. It's fast and loose, but I like how it turned out, and I had fun! My reference was a toy squirrel; but, I think love and death are a bit more interesting. Done in Photoshop. Another color version & reference- https://leglessmermaid.blogspot.com/2024/05/love-death-are-gumball-machine-toys.html

A character that will be appearing in my game "Cryptid Collector." Scout is a T-Rex like creature that is very helpful (sometimes too helpful) too his tamer. He has a habit of wandering off and causing trouble. Despite his fearsome teeth he can be overly friendly and trusting.

Daphne, my most recurring character but first time showing her out

Watercolour and coloured pencil on watercolour paper. I did the complete outline with a paintbrush for the first time. It felt quite satisfying.

Recently I saw beautiful Van Gogh exhibition. I really enjoyed movement of his brush and vivid colours. It was more about energy and feelings than realistic details. I am always gravitating towards realism and always want to spend more and more time perfecting paintings like they are never really finished so this time I decided to challenge myself not to do that.

Laura (my "Rayman" fan character) sometimes knows where there's an itch Rayman can't reach.

Old doodle from college. I dropped out still don't know if I regret it or not.

My tiniest yet! This acrylic painting on 3.25" x 1.75" canvas shows my all-time favorite flower, the rose.

Ugh, it's been a long time since I've painted the good old Jiao... Come on, admit it, who didn't do their homework and made the teacher angry??>:( Oh yeah... An experimental palette! I don't even know if I like it or not

[Intro] (D-D-Dark side) [Verse 1: Tomine Harket] We're not in love We share no stories Just somethin' in your eyes Don't be afraid The shadows know me Let's leave the world behind [Chorus: Tomine Harket] Take me through the night Fall into the dark side We don't need the light We'll live on the dark side I see it, let's feel it While we're still young and fearless Let go of the light Fall into the dark side [Post-Chorus: Tomine Harket] Fall into the dark side Give in to the dark side Let go of the light Fall into the dark side[Verse 2: Au/Ra] Beneath the sky As black as diamonds We're runnin' out of time (Time, time) Don't wait for truth To come and blind us Let's just believe their lies [Pre-Chorus: Au/Ra] Believe it, I see it I know that you can feel it No secrets worth keepin' So fool me like I'm dreamin' [Chorus: Tomine Harket & Au/Ra] Take me through the night Fall into the dark side We don't need the light We'll live on the dark side I see it, let's feel it While we're still young and fearless Let go of the light Fall into the dark side [Post-Chorus: Tomine Harket & Au/Ra] Fall into the dark side Give in to the dark side Let go of the light Fall into the dark side[Bridge] (D-D-Dark side) (Dark side) (Dark side) (Dark side) [Chorus: Tomine Harket & Au/Ra] Take me through the night Fall into the dark side We don't need the light We'll live on the dark side I see it, let's feel it While we're still young and fearless Let go of the light Fall into the dark side

I'm surprised how when I use a sketchbook's back page basically to test media, I end up freed from the pressure to make anything "good" and as a result, the doodles that end up there sometimes tell their own story that I look back on much later and remember.
