Lyra colored pencils on Strathmore toned tan paper.

Trying to remind myself to post on Derpagram AND Tumblr. I posted this a while ago. Sharing here now.

Peach study done in colored pencils. This is from my Instagram.

Did a study in soft pastel. Haven’t used this medium in a while. I’m having fun working more in traditional. 

Another realism piece from a while ago. This is on my instagram as well. 

Posted this on Instagram and putting it here now. This is a digital painting I did some time ago. Playing around with realism. Still very proud of this piece. 

My friend ( @jcstitches ) and I are doing some writing and I was inspired to draw her character. It started off as a creative exercise and turned into a full illustration. I fell in love with this piece because this helped me immensely in trying to shake off the art funk and get back to the root of why I began doing art, which is to have fun. This is my friend’s character Penelope aka Pumpkin. A creative witch with a big imagination and a big heart. <3 

Picture I did some time ago. I like how it turned out. Done with Derwent colored pencils.

A Blue Grandala. Thought it was a really nice shade of blue so I drew it. Done with Ohuhu markers.
