Completed Theme 6 yesterday! I've been busy with school as this semester is wrapping up. 🔹 I haven't drawn this character in a while so she got a bit of a makeover. I'm also experimenting with adding highlights, and using only alcohol-based markers. I like that they give my drawings a nice smooth look. 🙂 I hope you enjoy~

In case anybody's wondering what I've been up to this weekend, this is my view right now. This is my #life #unfiltered if you will. I've been doing homework and preparing my artwork to go up on my revamped website. You'll hear more about that when it's done. For now, consider this me poking my head in and saying "hey, I'm here. I'm just busy." and tired... Getting back to work now! ✌🏼 🔹 #lifeunfiltered #unfilteredlife #artlife #lifeofanartist #artist #collegestudent #collegestudentlife #digitalart #digital #painting #instaart #digitalpainting #digitaldrawing #creative #illustrator #graphic #photoshop #wacom #color #art #dailyart #artoftheday #paint #adobe #digitalartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #CrystaltheCC

It's high time I show you guys my progress over the past month. (I seriously can't believe it's been a month already since this started!) I love how it's turning out so far. I think this is becoming the most colorful page in my sketchbook. 😊 Still got a ways to go before it's done, but it's almost there! I hope you enjoy~⠀ 🔹⠀ #art #draw #sketch #instaart #ArtoftheDay #artsy #instaartist #sketchbook #DailyArt #zentangle #mandalaart #mandala #mandalas #zentangleart #zenart #zendala #mandalala #mandalalove #zentangles #stabilo #mandaladesign #zentanglemandalalove #mandaladrawing #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artists #100ThemesChallenge #Crystal_100TC #Crystal_100challenge #CrystaltheCC

Happy belated Valentine's Day and happy Singles Awareness Day (which if you didn't know is Feb 15). Here's a throwback to some art I did in 2014 and 2013 for Valentine's Day. Regardless of whether you have a significant other or not, I hope you all have a wonderful day and know that you are loved by the one that matters. The one above. 😊☝🏼 🔹 #throwbackthursday #throwback #valentinesday #webstagram #valentine #tbt #tb #heart #hearts #red #art #arts #arty #artsy #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC

Yesterday was my birthday and I wanted to draw something special. It's a redraw of something I drew a couple years ago. I raced the clock but couldn't get it done before midnight, so here it is today. Hope you enjoy! 😊

Theme 7 Memory is done! I'm so glad I finally finished this. In truth, I wanted it done last year, but I was busier (and then sick) than I expected. Oh well. Have a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope yours is off to a great start. 😊

Theme 7 is Memory and the sketch is a redrawing of a redrawing. I guess you could say that it's also a memory of a memory. 😆⠀ 🔹⠀ I decided to revisit a drawing in my sketchbook that was done earlier this year. I redrew a drawing of mine for a class project (because I was fond of it) and looking back on it now, I wasn't happy with how the guy's face came out when I first drew it. So I redrew his face, added some more heartwarming elements, and next, I'm going to add more ink to make it pop. 😊🎄⠀

Finished up Theme 5! Again, I based it heavily on the previous drawing I did (now over 2 1/2 years ago! 😳 ). I was still aiming for a postcard-like look, but I wasn’t sure what to do with the border in the end. I’m pretty pleased with it overall though. And his smile is endearing as always. 😊 Hope you enjoy~
