I’m still trying to figure out which coloring style is best for me when I’m working in Procreate. These two drawings were good practice, and helped me find out a better way to streamline my workflow in the app. I really like how the ocean themed one turned out especially.

Jellyfish! Or better said, Sea jelly? Anyway, really happy with how this one turned out. Done in Procreate.

So I participated in a few of the #drawthisinyourstyle challenges a little while back! They were great practice. All done in Procreate!

I got an Ipad pro earlier this year, and I’ve been learning how to use Procreate for digital art. Although I still prefer Photoshop over Procreate, its really cool to be able to work digitally on the go. These are just some of my first practice portraits I did on there.

Yay! More new art!

Legend of Zelda Buttons!

So, I know this is super late, but these are the drawings I did for this years Inktober!

I really wanted to complete the challenge and have a drawing for each day, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to. Life got busy as usual, and I made a couple of mistakes this year that really hindered my progress with this challenge.

First, I was adamant about there being some color in each drawing. Black and white just doesn’t appeal to me, so I spent way to much time thinking about color schemes and trying to setup my first couple of drawings in a way that would allow me to add color easily. Bad idea. I’m a super slow artist. I spend way to much time thinking, planning, and procrastinating instead of actually drawing. This slowed me down at the beginning and then everything else got thrown off schedule. When I realized there was no way I’d finish inktober that way, I then decided to work with just black ink, and nothing else. It did help speed things up a lot, but it wasn’t enough to help me catch up.

That brings me to my second mistake. I decided to use a prompt list this year. I really thought a prompt list would help me come up with drawings quicker. Nope. Not a Chance. All I did was spend to waaay to much time trying to come up with a good idea or concept that would fit in with the prompt instead of actually drawing. -.-

I really think if I had started with just black ink, and had not used a prompt list, I might have been able to get farther in this challenge. I don’t know if I would have completed 31 drawings, but I would have done more that I did. Anyway, lesson learned. I know what I need to do, and what I don’t need to do to have a more successful inktober next year. Also, despite the set backs, I really did enjoy working on the few drawings I was able to complete this year. :)

Rey from Star Wars! I’ve been working on this for a few days and finally finished it! That’s another print ready for artist alley! The convention is almost here and I’m rushing to get as much new art done as possible! It’s been crazy!

I had the sketch for this on my computer for a while, and finally decided to work on the line art and color. It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted but I do like the end result. Another piece ready for my first upcoming artist alley! 👍

Another piece for artist alley! I really like how this one turned out! I also have an alternate version of this, but I'm a little iffy about it still. I might post it later. :)

Bee and PuppyCat!

I’ve been working on this and few other artworks in preparation for my first ever artist alley! The convention I’ll be attending is just around the corner, so its been a mad dash to get things prepped! Best part is that I’ll be sharing my table and the whole experience with my little sis @jasmindoodles!
