The Art of Ellen Knealing

I’ve been really into Miraculous Ladybug recently and had to take a few minutes to design my own dynamic duo inspired by Ladybug and Chat Noir. So here’s Jewel Beetle and King Cobra. lmao

Quick color and costume refs from a project I’m doing with a friend.

A small doodle, from when I was working on the villain from my NaNoWriMo novel. This was back before he was a villain though.

A quick, crooked WIP I’m working on

Here’s a big lineup of a bunch of my OCs from a big series I’ve been working on for a long time. Since 2009 I think. There’s still a lot more that need to be drawn and designed, so keep an eye out for them in the future. 

Doodling a few characters of mine #doodles #sketch #sketchbook

#wip shot of my painting. I figured it's time to stop for the night.

Happy Halloween! I hope you have as much fun dressing up as this guy.

Just finished this painting for a friend!

Coloring some of my NaNo girls tonight

I was making a map of the fantasy world my NaNoWriMo novel takes place in, and I looked at it and thought “why the hell shouldn’t I make this 3D?” so here’s a tiny 3D test. I plan to do a higher quality one once I’ve actually finished the map!

some doodles, working with more expressive faces, as well as experimenting with not lifting my pen while drawing. I just wondered how it’d look.

Or you can add me as a writing buddy here!
