First page in ye olde Etchr sketchbook is dedicated to Mr. Ouroboros, from the Loki TV series. I’ve finally found a blorbo that doesn’t immediately die within two episodes. What an achievement.

Some minor bleedthrough from the back page 😬

This was 90% Acrylic paint marker out of necessity, in order to cover all the bleedthrough from the back page. Yikes. But I like how it turned out! It was relaxing to work in mostly solid blocks of colour and not worry about so much blending. I also took some inspiration from Baotpham‘s style of makeup/colouring in their works. :)

Wow, and I guess I completely forgot to upload this lovely lady! Took a huge risk with painted background for the first time, and I’m still undecided on how I feel about it. I love how her hair and skin turned out, though.

It was a bitter fight to the very end to finish this drawing, but even though there’s so many things I could be nitpick-y about, I think this is my favourite of all my recent projects.

This is my entry for a colour contest on Instagram. The theme this week was Yellow 🟡💛

Learned a lot doing this study; I don’t like the finished piece, but the process helped me figure out how to create textures that are trickier for me.

I’m a little mad at myself for putting off finishing this one for so long, but I’m happy enough with the result. Doing a film study on the Truman Show in middle school and then once again in high school changed my perspective of storytelling techniques, and I just adored the film. So, page 2 in the 2024 sketchbook is for Truman!
