Distressed Butterflies

Day 3 is dedicated to October 3rd. Here's to my infinite love for Mean Girls! . #meangirls #burnbook #meangirlsday #october #october3rd #inktober #day3 #ink #pink #lipstick #wednesday #onwednesdaywewearpink #ink #markers #markerart #handlettering #typography #2016 #inktober2016 #brushpen #tombow #brushlettering #letteringleague #letteringco #doodle @jakeparker @inktober #calligraphy #pentel #day1 #inktoberday3 #inktober

Haven't posted a while because of Finals week, thank goodness it's almost over! Thought I'd give myself a break with some painting. Stepping out of my comfort zone with this one, acrylic paint after so long! Satisfied with this, but there's definitely room for improvement. Y'all will be seeing more acrylic practices coming soon!

Random scribbles with charcoal led to this little doodle inspired by John Ken. Tried a different medium after a really long time today, it was really refreshing! #charcoal #notebook #monsters #black #johnkenn #macabre #creepy #doodle #scary #horror #wild #wildthings #art #artist #lettering #typography #handlettering

So I'm super happy with this gorgeous notebook I stumbled upon today at a book store! I'm not usually a very "skulls-y" person but these floral skulls were just too pretty to pass up. The edges are gold-leafed and the pages are nice and heavy. I'm kinda glad these pages are lined or I would have been to pressured to make every page a work of art. 😅 I can't wait to start filling this up!

Class 2.0 in session! Spent a whole day with some of my homegirls, teaching them how to paint nebulas and marbling. I'm so proud of ya'll, @monamizaman and @nanditaahmed for pulling off such amazing galaxies on the first go. More pictures of our marbling adventures, coming soon!

The best of both worlds, maybe? I wish I could have made the floral more prominent though! Oh well, try, try again!

And here it is! The finished humpback! I've been wanting to do a cosmic whale for a while now and I'm really pleased with how this turned out. Can't wait to do more whales!

Cosmic love with @ms.daisysgalaxy Here's a little sneak peak of what we've been up to. Treating our little nebula cravings!

Eid Mubarak, everyone! This Ramadan has been rough, and I'm sure we're all still jaded from everything that's been going on. Nevertheless, today is a happy day. Today marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of a life where I'll try and accommodate all the good habits I've maintained for the past 30 days. Goodbye Ramadan, I hope we'll meet again InshaAllah. As for tomorrow, let's all try and enjoy ourselves with good food and even better company. May Allah bless us all with a wonderful Eid! 🎉🎊✨

Not my best, but hey, I had fun! 🌺🌷🌸 You are loved, never forget that! 💕

This whole thing has left a gut-wrenching feeling in me. I'm at a loss for words about what's happened in the past twenty hours, and my heart just can't take it anymore. There are so many thoughts shrouding my mind; so many things I want to say. My stomach churns at the propaganda spreading like wildfire. My head fills with worries of what else is coming and of the consequences of this whole ordeal. My condolences to everyone who's lost a friend or family member last night. My prayers are with those departed souls and their families. With the last days of Ramadan coming to an end, I think it'd be best to utilize this time to pray and make dua for all the victims, for their families, for our families, for our safety, and for our nation. We need to be strong; we've done it before and we'll do it again. Dhaka, stand firm, we won't let them get away with this. #NotInMyName #PrayforDhaka #Bangladesh

Wreath days are happy days 🌺🌸🌼🌷 Finally got a hold of some proper water colour paper! Proper blending, here I come! 🖌🎨

#throwback to our art-jam prompt where we were supposed to draw an animal-girl hybrid! Of course I had to draw a bear 🐻 Went a little out of my comfort zone for this one, but I'm pretty happy with it!

"Do you suppose she's a wildflower?" And the animal obsession continues! 🌺🌸🌼🌻

Working on another collab with @ms.daisysgalaxy! This was so much fun, I love drawing with you 💕 Cousins-not-cousins who draw together, stay together! 🎨👭
