#WIP: I thought this pattern was gonna eat lmao.

Oh well, gotta have a flop every once in a while. I'll finish it and post the results. Maybe it's just the beginning stage bs (it's def not πŸ’€)

#Painting: I finished it and he almost cried.

The biggest learning curve with this that I need to apply for next time is to make sure I use a darker base. Her fur was mostly white and it just didn't translate well when I got started lol. The highlights were lost

#WIP: first ever acrylic on canvas piece since high school. I'm trying to paint my cat that passed back in July for my father.

I dont draw/paint animals, so this is a learning curve! I'll just keep painting until it's as accurate as possible. But for now, a break

The pencils.

But, so far, I'm really enjoying the layering and I'm excited to colour the flower behind her too 😭

Just AHHHHH.

I have many ideas with this new set though >: )

And these should work well with Faber castell, as they are also oil based

Just (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

But because I wanted to jump right in, the sketch isn't accurate. I didn't even really erase the blue lines. I might end up having to add a little line work afterwards.

Tried to do a different expression and even then, it just didn't come out right.

This is mostly a test though just to experience

I just wanted to test its layering capabilities, especially considering I just had a moment where a different set just doesn't meet the quality fully. I only owned a small set of pastel holbein pencils, so getting the entire range means a lot to me as someone who collects the full range of stuff +

#WIP: using holbein coloured pencil that my fiancΓ© got me for Christmas!

Starting with light layers before we add any darks. My OC is very fair hair and skin wise, but the clothes tend to get dark.

#WIP: I think a Samus full scale colour pencil piece was over due.

Sadly, I kinda messed up on the placement for this page, but that's fine. This is for me anyway : )

#Vent: toxicity lolol

I hate this, but it was quick and found out that these pencils actually genuinely suck ass for layering lmao?
