Dizzy Dreamer Draws

I had fun with the dark and scratchy pencil vibes yesterday so here’s another quicker sketch. Who’s that bruting fellow? https://www.instagram.com/p/CHt30hQD2iG/?igshid=5wtij5e92s1o

Moody, creepy, sad vibes resonating with me today in this piece. But there’s light coming from the heart because no matter how the darkness tries to get inside, the light will always triumph. For me, that’s God. I probably took this piece way deeper than the originals were meant to be but it was cathartic. This was kinda a double #drawthisinyourstyle inspired by @airinhtoday and @joriouxdraws combined. And now my hand hurts! 🖤 Thanks for the inspiration and drawing therapy guys. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHrT4KhDr6w/?igshid=1h5wk080t4xhx

Luna moth magic. ✨🌙 I’ve been super wishy-washy about my personal style (away from @joelandashleydraw). But eventually you just have to put the work up and keep burying it in new work. I hope to draw professionally on my own one day (while still going strong with my beloved partner on our joint stuff) so here’s me stepping out there! Again and again. Thanks for following along as I stumble through this! https://www.instagram.com/p/CDma2Pxjvnv/?igshid=16gzm5s6xpc3z

More from life drawing practice. My babe, Juniper. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-r-W1DjUB5/?igshid=103zqk93sxk4v

Another day, another quick cat sketch. Aki sunning. 🐱☀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-bL-2FDacZ/?igshid=mlqsnts8bduw

Quick sketch from life of my cat, Pepper. 🐱 I feel a bit like a house cat lately. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XhTjmjDLZ/?igshid=11qyanrqhde6o

Our whole family has been laid up sick for a couple weeks so I’m just now getting back to drawing at the desk finally! Had to warm up and finish this piece I sketched for my youngest a while back. It was supposed to be for her first birthday in December! She’s an animal lover and her name is Juniper so I’m always drawn to all things wild whenever I make or buy things for her. Bambi just feels so her! 💕🦌🌸 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mfoeJDU1-/?igshid=wpfd924211f5

Fishy friends. 🐟💕 Another gouachey exploration! This was supposed to go up on Valentine’s Day but life happened. Inspired by my beloved late tomcat, Tsuki. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Az_F5DCQo/?igshid=1ofw7sxmpktlw

Experimented with a loose, gouachey style today. Still attempting to find my own personal style for kid’s lit. A little scary but a lot of fun. Our weather was gloomy today and I drank a lot of tea. ☕️⛈ https://www.instagram.com/p/B8M0kFyDj1L/?igshid=j15bgk68h9fi

Oh, hello! Last minute #toon me for the #toonmechallenge! I’ve put off practice drawing for myself long enough. 😬😁 Jumping back in with both feet! https://www.instagram.com/p/B7_kz3IjnaG/?igshid=1nqkb8jv3bliw

My daughter has a fever and I still don’t have an iPad Pro 😩(woe to me) so I played with these Japanese colored pencils while @joeldrawsandwrites worked at the Cintiq for @joelandashleyillustration. I have no idea what I’m doing and there are about a billion mistakes but it was relaxing and fun! 🎃 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-E8wThjM2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1etbtikqvapca

So... I unintentionally jumped ship on #mermay AND #the100dayproject... then disappeared for about 5 months. Oops! Two things: I got pregnant and was at the most sick point around May. And we wrapped up illustrating an entire book for a publisher under a tight deadline, plus a ton of other smaller jobs at @joelandashleyillustration. Needless to say, I hid from my personal work/practice for a while. 😬 But so excited to meet our little mermaid (due on Christmas day)! 💕👶🏻 Hoping I can squeeze in some more personal drawing time before things get real sleepless again soon. #freelancemomlife #workfromhomemom #whathappenedtothetime #dizzydreamerdraws https://www.instagram.com/p/BoPbFxPhoDs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=79vn2c7rm0tl
