Hayley Boothe Art

I have been super busy and stressed... So I forgot to post that I sent off some samples to two different publishing companies! If they accept, my artwork could be on or in books they publish! 😍😍😄😄😜😮😮 #hayleybootheart #stoked #excited #artwork #publishing #publisher #art #painting #sketch #samples #contest #novel #book

More sketchbook challenge! Practice. Practice. Practice. The foot on the left proved to be more challenging than I expected. But I figured it out 💪🔥 #sketchbookchallenge #sketchbook #art #artist #hayleybootheart #feet #anatomy #study #studyhard #challengeyourself #grow

Here's my practice for the day 😜 I focused more on getting the shape right this time and skipped the shading 😏 #sketchbook #sketchbookchallenge #practice #practicemakesperfect #art #artist #artistandwriter #pencil #sketch #drawing #hand #fingers #anatomy #study #hayleybootheart

The sketchbook challenge I wanted to start.... Months ago before depression took hold...again. First thing I've drawn in weeks! I might be knocked down, but I refuse to stay there. 🙌😏💥🌟🔥👍💪 I want to challenge others to draw at least 30 mins a day, practicing everything--especially things you haven't mastered. Don't forget to draw from life, NOT a cartoon/lifeless model/action figure, etc #depression #anxiety #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #hands #sketchbook #sketch #drawing #pencil #graphite #blackandwhite #challenge #sketchbookchallenge #30minsaday #anatomy #study #practice

Things have been extremely rough for me lately. As you've probably noticed I haven't posted a lot on any social media site. I'm back to taking things slowly. Although I have a handful of important things I need to get done--I'm going to go very slowly on the business side. I'm not someone who can handle running a business without getting extremely overwhelmed. Any time money is added into the equation, it automatically stresses me out. It's sort of a catch-22 as art is what I want to do for a living 😕 Comics are still on my mind. I'm going to take things slow and just... DRAW. I'm not going to focus on money... or the business side. Just. Draw. The money can come later. I don't want to squelch my own passion because there may or may not be a price tag attached to it. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #tired #tiredaf #sick #cold #busy #art #artwork #hayleybootheart #artist #comics #draw #drawing #passion #artistandwriter #artiststruggles #struggle #artprobs

Don't forget the lightning 😜 #storm #mural #lightning #tornado #tornadowarning #light #flash

ALL DONE 😅😅💪🙌🙏😰😂😄 #muralartist #mural #finished #clouds #sky #landscape #rockies #rockymountains #gardenofthegods #chalkpyramids #road #city #town #modeltrains #modeltrainlayout #paint #art #artist #acrylicpaint #paintbrush #kansas #valleyfalls #grass #rocks #blue #white #green #yellow #tornado #twister #lightning

Just a quick tip I wanted to share: When painting something like lightning, don't think too much about the shape. Just get paint on your brush and twist it as you go, the shape will emerge on its own. 😯 I use this same technique when also drawing foliage, trees, branches, or even clouds. Just twist and drag. Don't press to hard though 😜 🌳🌿 #twister #twist #paint #paintbrush #artist #arttips #tip #lifehacks #lightning #storm #clouds #sketch #drawing #artwork #art #drawingtips #pencil

Can't get my mind off of the third book, nevermind that I haven't finished the second one yet 😂😂 So I'm working out the kinks of this complicated story while it's bouncing around in my head 😅 #novel #novelinprogress #wip #book #story #storywriting #writer #artistandwriter #artist #googledocs #fantasy #fantasybooks #worldbuilding #storyarc #storytime #characterdevelopment #hayleybootheart

My arm now hurts thanks to these chalk pyramids 😥 BUT they're DONE. HALLELUJAH 🙏🙌💪 HOPEFULLY the entire mural will be finished tomorrow! 😅 #art #artist #muralartist #muralinprogress #wip #hayleybootheart #mural #modeltrains #paint #acrylicpaint #chalkpyramids #landscape #rocks

Quick-fix tip: if you have accidentally darkened an area too much with a pencil, use a kneaded eraser to pick most of it up first, before you try to use a regular rubber eraser. Otherwise it will just be a smeared mess. ✏📑 #art #artist #sketch #sketchbook #portrait #tips #arttips #kneadederaser #eraser #cliceraser #pentel #hayleybootheart #lifehacks
