Carrot tail (step-by-step)

Well, it was really hard xD
The customer wanted me to draw his dragon and his horse (this is the customer's real pet). According to the customer's story , the dragon tried to play catch-up with the horse but he is tired of such obsession and now he is irritably trying to bite the dragon's tail!
I rarely draw horses, especially in such tense poses, so I studied photo references for a very long time and tried to do it as correctly as I can!

In addition, the new paper turned out t...

Little blue flowers (ACEO step-by-step)

I started participating in the ACEO-trades again, and this month I got a beautiful golden tiger character. I drew him on a specific paper that strongly absorbs moisture and dries sooo long (you can see how the paper warps more and more with each photo xD )

Two (three!) Ferrs

I had a little dream come true - I fit into a Wandering sketchbook! It wanders through the cities of Russia from artist to artist, and together we create one big traditional artbook!

I made this drawing back in February, then it was especially interesting for me to probe the form of Sotona (this is the nickname of horned Ferr)

You can check out the sketchbook (I drew in the second one) by following the link - 2023-10-19 18:27:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Changes in the "Crazy Hydra" tier

Hey, guys!

This post is addressed to Crazy Hydra" tier subscribers.
I am still searching for the optimal option for a regular reward for this subscription. I notice how much time and effort I spend on drawing these rewards compared to the rest of the subscription levels. Definitely, I have to take care of myself and find the type of drawing that would be easy to draw and would be a cool gift for you, my friends!

I will definitely leave the fullbody format and add light eleme...

A complex watercolor illustration, which took a lot of effort and time ั…)
The most difficult thing was not to lose sight of all the details that I would like to show! And yet I missed some details. For me, this is a rather difficult task to draw active animals in the water ั…) But I think I've made a little progress on this drawing anyway

Watercolor studies

A bit of specific content, but so far this is the only thing I can offer after hard training days in psychotherapy. There are watercolor sketches of real objects that I found near my desk - a netsuke lion and a traditional russian clay bell with the image of a funny dog :) I rarely draw from real objects, but sometimes it really amuses me!

Flight of Loong (step-by-step)

This drawing differs from the previous ones in its experimentation - I tried to move away from the usual uniform coloring and play with the fluid properties of watercolors. Well, it's still quite difficult for me, there's little control in this, but I like the result!

Hey, guys! I dropped out of the internet for quite a long time because I was on an amazing trip with my best friend! It was our first trip together, not in company, and it went wonderfully!   

I've always wanted to visit the Caucasus. I am attracted by these green mountains, local animals, folk culture and local cuisine. We lived in the mountain town of Kislovodsk, on the first day we climbed the mountain on foot, because the cable car did not work ั…D A few days later, my un...

Old art: Magic forest

For some reason, I have never posted this oil painting from 2018 in any gallery, although I still love it! This has a slightly sad fate, as far as I know, this drawing did not reached its addressee due to an error by the postal service >< I have hope that after a while it was still delivered, but I lost the customer's contacts to find out about it, it's been so many years..

Horned Ferr and birds

In the first images you can see "shaggy" sketches of horned Ferr. It is convenient for me to probe the images of characters with such "shaggy" lines, because my eye picks out more pleasant resulting shapes and I take note of them. Well, the last two pictures were drawn in a coffee shop, I wanted to practice drawing with a brush liner. I found the pictures of birds that interest me and here is the result!

Horned Ferr

Lol, how did this happen? :D
Once I butted with Axelon and he said to me: "Ferr, but you don't have horns!"
And we thought it would be fun to draw Ferr with horns, which I did in my sketchbook (photos 2 and 3). I liked these crescent-shaped horns and the next evening I tried to probe the image of "dragon-like" Ferr in more detail, and that's what happened! (photo 1). I liked it so much that the next few days I did a lot of sketches with her!

I'm a little confused because I don't...

Some news + new gifts

Hi guys!
I don't know if you've heard or not, but another payment system refused to cooperate with people from Russia. It was the only system currently available to help withdraw funds from Patreon. Now I have found a workaround (again...), every time I lose more and more money because of the fees that payment platforms take. A few weeks ago it made me terribly depressed, but now I'm fine. I'm just adapting to the current situation. In fact, losing money is not the worst thing that bothers...

I really like jays, their light eyes, thick beaks and plumage of a beautiful reddish-gray shade with bright accents in the form of blue feathers in their wings.
I wanted to draw one in my little watercolor sketchbook :)
