No I didn't stare at a sketch I already posted and add tiny details when I realized I didn't like it and then delete that original post to put the more detailed sketch of my own oc negging me that'd be silly

Some drawings of jumping spiders I did for my animal science class

1. Zebra jumping spider- Salticus scenicus

2. Bold Jumper (or daring jumping spiders)- Phidippus audax

3. Tan jumping spider- Platycryptus undatus

Yes I only drew half of the bold jumper and then flipped and edited it together but I got my fucking assignment in on time and that’s all that matters

Also I made this little info graphic for the class

Lose your head! 

I wanted to try using a color palette for the first time! It was a little difficult because I was using colored pencils but I thought I matched the shades pretty well! 

refs under readmore

Based on the moonlight palette from rabdoidal’s color meme, but I cheated and added one color.

Remember me, love when I’m reborn As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

Finally finished my piece that was inspired by Hozier’s Shrike!

This is actually such an amazingly motivational post because it explains visually exactly what art block is. Do you know what art block is?

Art block is that moment when you realise your skills could be so much more then they currently are. It frustrates you to draw because you can finally see your drawings differently. You can see where they can be better and you want them to be better.  It’s not a matter of “I can’t draw today”, it’s a matter of “I imagined this would turn out so much better” and “there’s something missing, I just know it. What technique did I miss.” You’ve got past that temporary phase of analysing and researching and now you’re able to incorporate it in your own work, you just need to figure out how, and when you get past that art block. Well, you’ll see the improvement before you know it. Slowly, but it’s there. And once you get comfortable with using those new skills you’ll move on and start analysing again, and you’ll see where you can improve.

Stay experimental and open to learn, it’s the quickest way to get over art block.

I just got a wrist brace and I’ve been practicing some doodles with it on! I’ve been told to draw a bird and dog teeth if anyone has any requests ask me and I may draw to practice!
