Kieru Draws

Love how this one looks, although not strictly finished. Used a chonky crappy kids' brush for this underpainting layer, but it's too cool to add more detail to.

Little study that I like how it turned out. Not strictly finished, but I probably won't work any more on it.

A sketchbook doodle from... not sure this time. 2018? Just kinda sloppy and straight in with pen and some waterbased markers. Maybe not my best draftsmanship, but I don't mind it too much.

A really old Drawtober from 2017, prompt was "Rat Queen." Love the idea for this one, but my execution of this drawing back in the day was a bit lacking (like, either one or both the arm on the left and the tail are completely impossible. Not like that's strictly required for drawings... but I do like things to look like they might make sense in 3D...)

Some punkins in my mini autumn/halloween sketchbook :3

Lil fall haiku and an illustration of a leaf. :)

Simple little sketchbook doodle done back in 2019 for the drawing prompt "ghost story." I thought I'd make it a bit of an ode to bad creepypasta.

i dunno, I thought it was a fun piece to make. Used a photo ref found on Pinterest, but I didn't copy it one-to-one. Though the rules for the mystery bag challenge allow for other materials to be used, I think I only used a graphite pencil in addition, for an initial sketch. Also, I think I prefer the angle that I have the painting turned at in the main photo, but I put it in the shadowbox at a slightly different angle, which bothers me a little. I superglued it in there, so it's likely not an easy fix to get it rotated a little... :[

A few little paintings of candy corn on wood discs, intended to be used for jewelry purposes.

Spooky little doodle from sometime in 2019, which was about when I got my first set of POSCA markers and also when I got into Lord Huron a bit (especially "Meet Me in the Woods"). I don't think this really portrays the vibes I get from the song, nor is this a great color palette but eh whatever. Used the aforementioned POSCA markers, and also a Micron for the black pen parts.

Another lil guy. Halloween 2023. Black fineliner pen, watercolor, and a little bit of colored pencil.

Just a lil guy. I should draw more things like this. He's cute. Used black fineliner pens, alcohol markers, and a white gel pen. This is only about ATC-size, so I wasn't able to be particularly precise with the coloring. Drawn in 2020, gifted to a friend :3

I love a good frilly witch. I believe this one is from 2021.

Tried drawing the same self portrait a few years apart. I think it shows some improvement. 2021 vs. 2018, I think.

WIP of a painting I started back in 2022. Should get back to it, really. Painting the text was pretty fun tbh. 30"x24"

A fairly recent sketchbook page - just some drawings on kraft paper from a paper bag, used to fill a page that had some bleedthrough. I ref'd some images from Pinterest, but made some changes to each of them. Used Derwent Drawing Pencils, just 9 different colors in an effort to keep the color palette cohesive. It was decently fun drawing these, and I think it ended up looking pretty cool too. Idk, colored pencil drawings on kraft paper are just wonderful somehow.
