welcome to my tumblr blog! 🐌

✦ about me ✦

hello! my name is rhea (pronounced ray-a) and i'm 25 years old. i'm from a small town in the beautiful nova scotia, canada. i've been drawing and painting for as long as i can remember. art is my #1 favorite hobby but i also enjoy reading, video games, movies, walking, and listening to music. i'm inspired the most by nature and fantasy. my goal in life is to become a self-supporting artist. i want to share my love of art and inspire others to follow their dreams, no matter how big or impossible it may seem. i'm also a huge nerd and i've got the glasses to prove it 🤓

[artistrhea]

some recent sketch requests ✍️

as per my last video, i'm taking free or pay what you want sketch commissions!! give me stuff to draw!!! 🙏

which sketch is your favorite?

make sure to keep your eyes peeled on my page! 😈

quick color studies ✨

i found these two pictures on pinterest and couldn't help but paint them!! 🙏

i tried not to copy the pictures exactly, just getting the main details down. the important thing here was to match the colors as best as i could 👍

which one is your favorite?!

davy jones 🐙🫀

pt. 6 of my pirates of the caribbean character paint study. the tentacled man!! although i had fun, i struggled trying to simplify his skin details without taking 10 years... 😵‍💫

i think davy jones is one of the best character designs in existence. a man being half octopus is goofy when you think about it but davy jones is anything but. he's menacing, towering and downright scary 😅

i'm starting to feel slightly burnt out from this series so i'm going to slow it down a little. however the next study i want to do is tia dalma/calypso, so keep your eyes peeled on my page! 🙏😎

sketch page: lake edition!!

just got back from a little lake vacation! i drew these while sipping morning coffee watching the lake. so many critters to draw!!! 🐛

still working on the next installment of my pirates of the caribbean character studies, davy jones!! my ipad was away for most of the time for the last few days but we're gettin back to it! 😎👍

which doodle is your fav??

[artistrhea]

here is another really important sketch page. this time it's several different animals ☝️🤓

i'm still working on davy jones but i needed a silly funny whimsical doodle session to mix it up, hope u like it 🙏

check out my potc character studies on my profile, or you'll lose 1 sock 😈

give me suggestions on what to doodle!!!!!!!

[artistrhea]

Hello! I just wanted to tell you how much I love your PoTC art. They are my absolute favorite movies and it makes me so happy to see them inspire artists. Keep doing what you’re doing because your art is awesome (and if you make any more of Jack I’ll be the first to freak out)!

hello!!! thank you so much 🥰 it means the world to me that my art resonated with you. that's the best feeling an artist could have!!!

it's SO cool to connect with other people over our favourite movies, especially movies that are over 20 years old (😨)!

jack may resurface again at some point (so many good scenes to paint!!!) but for now i'm workin towards painting through the rest of the cast 😉

thanks again for your message and i hope you have a lovely day! 🐌✨

captain jack sparrow ⛵️🏴‍☠️

pt. 5 of my pirates of the caribbean character paint study. the mister man himself!! this one took me slightly longer to complete, whoooops 😇

jack is my favourite character because underneath his goofy and eccentric behaviour, he's a master manipulator. i love the idea of being underestimated and then proving everyone wrong 😝

i've already started painting davy jones, so stay tuned!! who should i paint next?? let me know!

[artistrhea]

interrupting my pirates of the caribbean character studies to post this really important sketch page. it's NOT because i haven't finished painting captain jack sparrow yet 🤨!!!!

i've found a new fav sketch brush, "free colored pencil brushes" by @jigglybrush !!! it's crazy how the feel of a certain brush can inspire so many things 😋

ANYWAYS, jack sparrow is coming very soon!! in the meantime, check out my other potc character posts 🙏

which animal do you like most?

[artistrhea]

commodore james norrington ⚖️🍦

pt. 4 of my pirates of the caribbean quick paint study. this one was fun!! i love painting hooked noses so this was a treat. speaking of treats, his wig has always reminded me of ice cream 😋

i like this scene in potc 1, it's the first time we see norrington's authority, his morality and his devotion to the law. what a square 🤓

i've already started the next one, captain jack sparrow! who next after him though? 🤔 let me know!!
