Bumbling Bluejay

Have you ever wanted to follow a total noob as they learn digital art?

Maybe if I start this now I will complete it by mermay... #sketch #wip #art #mermaid #digitalart #procreate #stilllearning #howdoyoudrawfish https://www.instagram.com/p/CMEMdRjFfDy/?igshid=dljh9xg0acmn

There are so many art styles in this world it’s amazing how anyone finds one of their own! I still don’t know how to draw hair but I’ll figure it out #sketch #practiceart #dnd #characterart #art #digitalart #procreate #beginnerartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CK-q3SFHiRB/?igshid=pixp509okhw0

Snowy morning sailing. I saw a little video on how to do this but lost it before I could follow along so this is my best approximation from what I could recall #art #procreate #digitalart #beginnerartist #landscape https://www.instagram.com/p/CKwhywMHWpZ/?igshid=n045nl9576ep

The biggest reason I want to improve at art is so I can draw my D&D characters haha. Slow and steady, so they say... #art #dnd #characterdesign #procreate #digitalart #wip #sketch #paladin #elf https://www.instagram.com/p/CKZXq52nV01/?igshid=iej36ufaibvf

So I have this design on my dice bag and decided to draw it! The leaves were just fun to add, don’t judge me lol #triforce #loz #legendofzelda #procreate #digitalart #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CKPtkVbLLEZ/?igshid=1dyrs6ijxclh

Tried to sketch a character from a webcomic I’m reading because I’ve been reading too many webcomics and not doing enough art practice #sketch #art #procreate #characterdrawing #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CKFmVf3ntXm/?igshid=1pzdo3hp99cxb

Someday I will improve but in the meantime please enjoy my most recent portrait attempt! #art #procreate #digitalart #portrait #sketch #blackandwhite #practice #learning https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ9ouMtHy7c/?igshid=1dnax8810b1x6

Decided to skip the boring foundational practice today and follow some fun YouTube tutorials instead! Made this jellyfish following a #bardotbrush video and it was super fun #procreate #digitalart #jellyfish #art #jellyfishart https://www.instagram.com/p/CJwBFvMH3Kf/?igshid=1832noslzjpl6

Some days you just gotta draw a hundred circles because your freehand circles suck and you need the practice. I started just by freehanding a bunch and then realized I would never learn if I didn’t have real circles to compare them to so I made a huge grid of them to draw over. Like a kid in school tracing alphabet letters lmao #circles #sketching #practice #myarmhurts #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CJp5McqHvZC/?igshid=1sif4xzooycps

[bumblebluejay]

Didn’t get a chance to draw today so here’s a few sketches from yesterday that I tried to draw from references while reading webcomics #sketches #procreate #art #digitalart #elves https://www.instagram.com/p/CJnBGlfHNrA/?igshid=1a0hywh05m9du

[bumblebluejay]

What do you mean I can’t just be immediately perfect at drawing without any practice whatsoever? How unfair :/#practice #art #procreate #sketches #expressions #digitalart #beginner #ugh #learning https://www.instagram.com/p/CJkCjMwnW6m/?igshid=4qekq4taktwz

I don’t know what it is about this one that feels like she belongs in Santa’s workshop or something. I don’t want to finish it so here’s the unfinished sketch #elf #characterdesign #procreate #digitalart #sketch #unfinished #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CJjj9FRHY4i/?igshid=ksog3ua8pbif

Back to the grind with figure drawing and also the dreaded haaaaands #procreate #digitalart #sketching #figuredrawing #hands #beginnerartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZ-Ij2nlFC/?igshid=1hzzhh2ltrt27

I’ll figure out how to do lights and shadows (and colours, and art in general) eventually, but today is not that day 😂 #procreate #characterart #dnd #itried #learning #colour #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CJX61rfHfKY/?igshid=1mj77enfq9fyl

When you decide to do a redraw of something that you only made a week ago #procreate #characterdrawing #redraw #sketch #art #dndcharacter #characterdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXlg3Bnoxy/?igshid=asga3nswbpse

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this practice in particular it’s that side view lips are SO HARD to draw without them looking silly! Maybe because they rely so heavily on proper shading. #practicesketches #sketching #lips #mouth #procreate #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXJFyanet8/?igshid=119vll297yjes
