Found this little doodle among my watercolor paper and decided to color it. Little did I know that the ink I used on the drawing was not totally waterproof. Still cute tho.

Insomniac’s desk. Taken at 4 in the morning. Y’all remember a time when we just threw filters on everything? Also, when they started letting us add music to photo posts.? . . . #wip #painting #blackart #wip #inthestudio #weird #supportblackart #inkpainting #watercolor #fantasy #ink #supportblackart #weirdblackgirl #instaart #blackfemaleartist #illustration #cosmichoe #photography #popsurrealism #cosmicholiday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1RAPFO2Qm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#21daysinmyartworld Day 4: Art books . So I don't read very much unless it's comics or manga. I have a very small collection of art related books because the internet exists and I can look up anything online. But I still keep these babies nearby. Each one represents a stage in my growth as an artist. Some have been with me since high school.The books about plants are the most recent. That human anatomy book at the very top was a lifesaver during my senior year of college. I think I checked it out for an entire semester at one point. Then I bought my own copy later. I will get back into calligraphy some day. The color theory book is probably the least read out of everything but I keeps it around. Then there's my most important art book...the sketchbook. 🤓 . . #artlife #artbooks #bookcollection #sketchbook #studyingart #colortheory #calligraphy #anatomybook #anatomy #comic #howtodrawbooks #guides #plants #roses https://www.instagram.com/p/B7IUBkLl5J7/?igshid=17tt6j6e4hiff
