Still working with the same 7 random colored pencils. Kinda hate not having the colors I want…but also impressed with what I’ve been able to accomplish without having the colors I want. May or may not continue the rest of these with the same limited pallet >,>

Drew my inspiration from the frills of betta fish, and the frills of saloon-style clothing you see on pirates. Once again, my color pallet is limited to a select few pencils I have with me today.

Only had 7 colored pencils with me: Dark Brown, Turquoise, Orchid, Tickle Me Pink, Orange, Yellow Green, and Red Orange. Pretty happy with how it turned out!!

Definitely not going to get 31 mermaids finished by May 31st 😅 but here’s one for the books

A gamer buddy of mine from Saudi Arabia found out I like to draw, and requested art. So I drew this for his birthday!

A buddy of mine from Bahrain asked me to draw him. So…after a couple convos about snowmen, and how Bahrain and the Middle East doesn’t get much snow, I could not resist drawing him with a full sized snowman!

I didn’t use my normal “smooth line, clean fill color” method this time. I did something different instead! The lineart is a pencil brush, and I colored with watercolor brushes for a more “traditional art” feel. Pretty happy with out it turned out! Will prob use this method again!

An inside joke between my mom and her coworker/friend that I was asked to illustrate 😂

Been playing a game called Top War and made some new friends in the alliance I’m in. Decided to draw some fanart capturing an inside joke between me and a couple of my new buddies.

I don’t own any of the characters or designs.

Came home from work really stressed and decided I needed some art therapy

Played with some techniques and how different amounts of water blend differently. Also discovered that “I can touch it now” doesn’t mean it’s “dry”.
