Blue - Acrylic on Canvas

Paint: Liquitex heavy body and Liquitex basics

First post ✨ I’ve been on here before, but it’s been a few years now so I’ve decided to try and start all over. So, hello! My name is Mars and I use they/them pronouns— I’m 23 and art is my passion. I’ve done commission work, but mainly just for family and friends. My main mediums are acrylic paint and digital art 🫶 but I dabble in a bit of everything. I may make a better “meet the artist” post later on, but for now I’ll be trying to consistently post some of my favorite pieces from the last year!

Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Art redraw with me and my partner in their place ✨

It’s been a minute! I’m alive!

My mother has been having some medical emergencies, and I have taken on being her temporary caregiver while she recovers (which could take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months) so my posts may be a bit more sporadic than it already was for the foreseeable future.

I don’t really have any sort of fan base that may care about this update 😅 but figured it might be nice to slip in here!

Happy Valentines Day ✨

Here’s a first draft character design for a goth clown girl OC I’m making based off my crocheted sweater and bloomers I made this month

May be predictable given the design and the current holiday, but I’m liking Cupid for her name..

Bonus speed paint (starting at the line art stage 🫶)

The Love Burst Sweater

Inspired by ChendaDIY (YouTube) and her heart sweater! I used part one of her video tutorial for the front and back panels- only squaring the shoulders and leaving the bottom point. From there I freehanded the rest!

Very proud of how it turned out, and the decision to size down the yarn and hook for the ribbing and scalloped edge turned out perfect.

Easily my favorite thing I have ever crocheted, and pairs with a pair of bloomers I freehanded for a full Valentine’s Day fit (hopefully I’ll get pictures when I dress up and I’ll be able to post the full outfit here 🫶)

Does this even belong here?

Maybe not. But I’m making the executive decision that my crochet projects count as art uwu (I simply don’t want to make a crochet specific blog)

Will I regret this decision later? Maybe. Oh well!

Also… face reveal? I guess?

‘Spilling Wine in the Bathtub’ Acrylic on wood

Inspired by the song “Dress” by Taylor Swift, painted back in 2023

Don’t remember what paints I used.. maybe Master’s Touch?

[dewdropsonart]

a WIP of a painting I’m doing for my grandparents- a painting of my brother and I playing in their old back yard. (Not yet added 😅)

Still have lots to do, and I have to finish it by Friday- wish me luck.

My reference photo

I’m obviously using a brighter color palette, and am omitting + adding different details for how I remember it looking as a young child, since this photo was taken right before they sold the property.

I’ve finished the painting!

Featuring a little 4-5 year old me being chased by one of my grandma’s chickens (one of my earliest memories), with my older brother laughing at me from the door of their barn/workshop 🫶

Honestly, didn’t have nearly as much left to do as I thought I did in my previous post. Hopefully my grandparents love it

Another older piece (2022)

Yae Miko, from Genshin Impact.

One of the first digital paintings I did, and another one that I would love to try and redraw now that I’ve had nearly 3 years of improvement

[dewdropsonart]

Portrait I did of me and my bestie back in 2023✨

I love this piece, and now it’s about time for me to draw an updated one with our new looks 😌

[windowwisteria]

saw a cute pic and immediately started to redraw with them ( ended up spending way too much time on this I don’t know if I like the style I went with ) 🫠🩷

The Taylor Swift collection, spanning from 2022-2024

The Vigilante Shit piece is def my favorite out of these, and the one that gave me the most trouble.

The evidence:

This was my first attempt at the hair 😭 I was so humbled. Had to put it on pause for a few months and figure out how to digitally paint hair.

Destiny 2 artwork I did for my boyfriend, referenced from a screencap he got of his and his best friend’s guardians together during a cutscene 🫶

I may tackle this piece again, just feel like I can do better on that background- especially the light rays ✨

The reference image he gave me!

[dewdropsonart]

Current commission WIP! A trio of OCs from my friend and their partner 🫶 one of my first full background pieces with interacting characters, quite proud.

Over 10 hours is CRAZY work. Most of my digital pieces average out around 6-7 hours. And I still gotta color it all in…

February is right around the corner, which means it’s soon time for Funguary 2025! The drawing event where we draw a bunch of mushroom based characters during the month of February.

Rules are super simple, just draw art related to mushrooms! No need to complete all the prompts, just pick and choose from the ones you feel inspired by🍄

Drew myself a new profile image 🫶

Bonus speed paint ✨
