Recent character designs and style exploration!

A lot of these were posted in my recent sketchbook post as rough drafts - here are all the finished versions!

I'm trying to branch out a little, so I've been working on all sorts of things as practice. I'd really love to use some of this stuff in the future!

"Primrose" Phone + Tablet Wallpapers

As promised, here's the bonus wallpaper set that I made for fun! Where I live, wild pink evening primrose grows in giant bundles everywhere you look during the spring, and I've always wanted to draw it so that I could have it with me year-round. I hope you enjoy it, too!! 🌸

July wallpaper poll

It's time to vote on next month's wallpaper! This poll will run until the 5th of July so that new patrons will have a chance to chip in, too.

I only got a couple of suggestions this time, so I'm supplementing with my own ideas, too!

As always, while the winner is the only one that's guaranteed, there's always the chance that I'll draw more than one of these for fun (or even something not listed here). And please feel free to leave suggestions for the next poll in the comments belo...

Primrose

This was actually a leftover idea from the "garden" theme that I decided to turn into its own illustration! It will have a wallpaper version, too, so that will be going up sometime early next month as a bonus set (the poll for next month's official wallpaper will be going up tomorrow!)

I've drawn so many bunnies that I feel like it's time for cats to get a turn!

Sketchbook #44

I mostly focused on character design this month, so there's a lot of that in here! I'm not sure what I'll do with any of these just yet, but I'm having a lot of fun making them 😭

"Garden" Phone + Tablet + Desktop Wallpapers

Here's this month's wallpaper set! I included a desktop size this time.  As usual, I made the edges a little wide so that you have more room to adjust the way you like - let me know if you have any issues using them!

"Treetop Chat" Process

This one is pretty simple (and from 2019!), but since I made a wallpaper version recently, I thought it'd be nice to talk about it! (note: this is the original version - to see how I created the texture of the wallpaper version, I go over that in my vintage newsprint effect guide!)

If you have other questions along the way (about brushes, my coloring methods, etc), you might be able to find answers by clickin...

Garden

Here's a quick look at the upcoming wallpaper set! I feel like most of my art is really low contrast/unsaturated, so I wanted to go in the other direction for once.

This set will have poppies, bloodroot, and black-eyed susan! I'd kind of like to add to it in the future - I'd really like to draw some spider lilies eventually.

I hope you've all been enjoying the last of the spring flowers before summer begins!

"Treetop Chat" Phone + Tablet Wallpapers

While Hunter x Hunter did not win this month's poll, I still wanted to make ir, so here it is as a bonus! As usual, they have a little extra room on the edges so you can zoom/adjust as necessary. Let me know if you have any issues!

Printable Greeting Cards Set #1: Citrus and Strawberries

I want to start making more printables when possible, so here's something to get us started! These are 3.5"x5" greeting cards that can be printed out and folded (I recommend using cardstock if you can!)

You can print two cards per sheet of A4 or 8.5" x 11" paper - I've included a page of just oranges, just strawberries, and a page with both.

You can download the PDFs below!

Photo Reference Set #2: Bouquets

Recently there have been some bouquets at the grocery store, and I've been really excited haha!! I felt like they'd make incredible references for bundles of different species of flowers, which is something I don't come across too often. I'm already thinking up all sorts of uses for them (I actually used one of these as reference for a recent drawing!)

I hope they're useful for you, too!

"Peanuts" Phone + Tablet Wallpaper Set

I thought this would make a cute wallpaper set, so I formatted it into one as a bonus for the month! I added an extra wide/tall margin to the edges to make it easier to fit your device by zooming in/out/moving it around.

Includes a full res PSD with all layers intact, a full res jpeg that can be printed, a layered lineart PSD for color practice, and a lineart jpeg at a printable resolution that can be used as a color sheet (note: it's sized at 11"x17", so it unfortunately won't print cleanly on standard copy paper)

Sketchbook #42

This month has been completely jam packed, so I haven't had a ton of time for sketching, but I still managed to doodle a little here and there. I'm feeling kind of nostalgic for media I haven't interacted with in a long time, so there's a bit of Tales of Symphonia and One Piece in here!
