Character doodles of The Troubadours ✨

I’m trying to update their designs to be more individual and distinct. They’re all horses and it means they have kinda had same face syndrome.

More of my Strawberry Marshmallow post here🍓 and here🌈.

Finished this little study yesterday

Reference:

It's been a while since my last post. I'm well aware of that. Been busy with some Halloween-themed paintings that were supposed to be finished by the end of October but some things in real life needed my attention. Among other things, I lost my dear grandfather rather suddenly to a stroke. Sure, we're all heading in that direction eventually, and he was not exactly young anymore, but nonetheless was it still damn hard. I miss him and I think of him every day. Feels almost like a rock, like the solid ground you've been placed on that so far has been strong and safe is suddenly crumbling away under your feet... He's always been there, always been like that glue that held us all together, a man who always had a story to tell, a man that worked so hard for everyone to have something we could treasure, for everyone to come together, a man who wasn't even ready to leave us all yet...

Making this screencap study of my dear Bjorn has been helpful in terms of practising sketching and colouring skills, but most of all did it help me cope with my grief, my love for him and my family and just... I don't know... He helped me to sort of just... Find comfort. Strength. And acceptance. Peace.
