Okay, I’m actually really struggling with the title on this one! If you have other ideas, please feel free to chime in! lol
Thank you so much everyone who joined in during stream last Friday while I worked on sketching and inking this piece!
For this one I actually started painting it in grayscale but but i wasn’t getting the look I was hoping for so I actually went back and repainted it! Haha!
This idea started out so random and this is the first robot ...

Hello hello friends!
Are you ready for September!? September and October are FOR SURE my favorite months of the year!! (plus my birthday is in September! Yay for getting old! haha!)
Important:
How about little bit of light magical reading while enjoying a little tea break in the green house? Sounds like a dream to me!
Well this one got WAY AWAY from me! "Draw something simple and relaxing," my brain said. "It'll be quick and fun," my brain said. HAH!
To be honest, this one felt like it wasn't coming together for MOST of the process. It was only at the very end that I felt like it was finally going to be oka...

I have been really digging the gold, orangish and teal kind of color schemes lately! I have been really wanting to do more of a pinup-style witch, so here she is! I hope you like her!
This witch bae is kinda goals. She seems like a sexy and confident woman, plus she has some wicked tattoos, and she looks like she can handle herself. Oh yeah, and magic. :D Haha!
OH YEAH! And please remember to download ...
Omigoodness!! This time already!
Okay, so I have my bets on which one of these is gonna win buuuut I have been wrong before, so I'm curious to see the results from you guys!
Pick the upcoming small print!
Good morning!! Here is the promised process video for this piece. I sped the process up to 16x speed.
Usually, I speed the process up to 32x or 64x, but thought you might be interested in a slightly longer video to chill to.
Let me know if you like the longer video or if you'd prefer I speed it up more for future videos. Or maybe you would like even longer videos... I really n...

Nothing like a little bit of midnight witchery while hanging out with your cat familiars... or maybe they are just cats... either way.. what a life!? :D
Not gonna lie, this one was kind of a challenge for me but super fun! Interior environments are not my strong suit and I have A LOT of improving to do, but this was a good first step of trying it out.
I know a couple of you have also been participating in this DTIYS. What did you think? Was it also a good ...

I'm not sure if any of you are into reading YA Fantasy buuut I recently read through the Folk of the Air Trilogy by Holly Black and can't stop thinking about it.
I also can't get the description of the main character's horned hairstyle out of my head. lol. So here's a quick-ish portrait of her!
This one came out feeling really anime-ish to me for some reason... Not sure why....
Anyhoo, I remembered to record the video process for...

Lavellan wandered this dark, cold place between reality and dreams searching. Searching for him.
Sometimes she swore she could feel his eyes watching from the shadows. This dark and magical place was his domain. Logically, she knew if he didn't wish to be found, it was highly unlikely that she would ever reach him.
But she refused to give up. Refused to give up on the world. And refused...

After a little discussion with someone in discord, I felt inspired to create a quick mini tutorial.
1. Center of mouth
2. Corners of mouth
3. Connect corners and center with thin line. Draw line to indicate bottom of lower lip.
4. Lightly draw shape of top lip. Doesn’t have to reach the edge of the mouth. Shape can vary depending on what type of lips you are drawing.
5. Add color to lips. Top lip is usually darker in standard lighting. Light ...

I have a couple Witchy WIPs for you today!!
The first image is part of SimzArt's DTIYS that's going on right now. His DTIYS is so beautiful but more complicated than the typical challenge since it is kind of a whole illustration rather than just a character. Buuuuut considering how I have been trying to do more full scenes like that and considering how much I'm inspired by his work, I decided to give it a go. Also cats.
The second ...

Hello friends!
The fact that July is nearly over kind of kills me a little bit. Where does the time go? I hope your summer is going well!
Important:
♥ Come in... The water is fine. ♥
I hope you all are doing well! I have been experimenting with my painting process lately! Its always tough changing up my workflow but it can be really rewarding to learn a new way of doing things.
For this piece, I started out in Black and white (you maybe saw when I posted the WIP of this piece). And then I merged layers and worked on essentially one layer. It's so scar...
It happens to all of us.
We are going along, inspired, creating artwork. We're full of motivation and then something happens or doesn't happen and suddenly we are sliding down into a creative slump. This is normal and part of the creative journey.
The trick now is to climb out.
Let's talk about some helpful tools you can use to pull yourself out of the pit!
Accept that the...

I wanted to paint something a little more serious and seductive of Mist. Here is the sketch so far!
I wish I could work on it over the twitch stream but ehem! That would be a quick ban on my channel! I'll have to come up with something else to work on tonight. lol

Had a lot of fun with this one and playing with the washed-out pastels in this piece! I hope you are having a good week so far!
Just a heads up that I'm planning an extra stream tomorrow (wednesday!) at the usual time: 7:30pm CET. I hope to see you guys there!

Can't go wrong with corsets and flowers! lol Something I started tonight after work for fun.

A little bit more exploration of Ebba! Finally drew her in what her castle guard armor might look like!
I hope you are all having a great weekend!
What started as another mundane afternoon guarding the princess had quickly turned into a perilous situation. Ebba had only been assigned as Princess Victoria's Personal Guard for a little over a week and she had started to wonder if the true purpose of her post was just to keep the princess company and deal with her constant teasing.
She should have noticed the odd movements of the servants earlier. The way they didn't quite fit, how their posture had ...

I have been looking back through some of my works from this year and last year and these are a couple of pieces from a little while back that are still some of my favorites.
Will the sticker be Ebba and her Owl-Cat or Mist, the water nymph?

Oh y'know, just a pixie taking her pixie pup out for a walk through the countryside of the magical Kingdom of Bluebell.
Honestly, I am not 100% satisfied with how this one came out but I really love the idea and am thinking it would be a good one to revisit again a little later, maybe in a few weeks as a redraw. But because I really like the idea and I am ready to move on for now, I am cool with at least publishing it.
I think a series of pixie doggos could...
Hi pals! Its time to vote on this month's tips/advice article!
I also have an idea to eventually convert articles I have already written into video format. As you know though, video editing takes me a bunch of time, so I wouldn't be able to both write a new article and make a video at the same time. So I tossed that option into the poll in case any of you are more interested in that then a new article.
Let me know what topic you would be interested ...

How are you guys holding up out there?
I took a little bit of time today on my breaks to work on this draw this in your style piece, and I think she turned out pretty cute. The oc is by Lord Gris.
Sometimes it is super nice to participate in a challenge like this to just work on something that isn't very stressful and doesn't require too much thought on my part. Its a good way to jumpstart a little bit of creativity and get a little bit of art done. &nbs...
Something I started a bit randomly tonight.
It started off as just a portrait sketch but then I thought, "Hey! Maybe she's a fairy!" Then "Maybe she wears sneakers!" Then, "What if she also has a cute fairy dog!" then "Maybe there will be a CASTLE in the background!"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So much for drawing something quick and easy. lol But that's sometimes how idea...
