Enola Holmes:

After 3 weeks since the film was released and several times of the software crashing, I have finished.

(...Also, after looking at each portraits for so long I’ve started to severely dislike them, and they now look like blobs 😅)

[idek-carrie]

Welp, it’s been nearly 5 years 😬…

…but here’s a little drawing i just somewhat finished. I was going to get it signed in Manchester, but iykyk 🤷🏻‍♀️

[idek-carrie]

Flash sheet ideas?

Hey, I know it’s been a while and I’m terrible 😅 I’m sorry, I hope everyone is doing well…

…Anyway, I wanted to start a new chapter in my design career, and I thought I would ask you guys if there is any preferred topic for a flash sheet or tattoo designs.

I really want to put together a portfolio so I’m the future I can get a tattoo apprenticeship, so if anyway has any topic ideas (any anime, movies, tv show, even some iconic concepts, etc…) feel free to comment or drop me a message! 😊🧡

I can’t believe this post had over 500 notes. I’m shocked 😅...but thank you all so much! 🥺❤️

[vehemourn]

sometimes putting out art is hard, but reblogs and tags REALLY REALLY make it worth it 

[idek-carrie]

I really just wanna draw and idk what to do...? 😖

[idek-carrie]

I finished the Dabi drawing today...finally 🥺

Maybe one day ill post the TikTok 😅

I definitely got carried away with the neon pens...sorry.

I’m actually kinda proud of this. It’s the first iPad drawing I put effort into and it isn’t half bad. I just don’t think it’s exactly my style, but I’ll get there one day-with the iPad.

Bonus(spoiler?) :

[idek-carrie]

Am scared to colour this in, but I wanted to do something new, in a new kinda style...therefore, I am: scared!

Also, imma make this into a TikTok and saw a few people reference Andy Biersack as Dabi, so I had to give it a try.

[idek-carrie]

So ummm 😅...I might have taken some painkillers last night that sent me a bit delirious, and I, umm, may have done some corpse fan art (in a style that I have 0 clue with ngl) ((I genuinely don’t remember half of what I did))

How it started:

How it ended up:

So Um yeah that happened. Normal schedule will resume now 🤣.

V1 or V2?

I don’t want to take anything away from the drawing I have just done (it’s been 24hrs and has 238 notes currently. It’s mad!), but I want to know for my next project which version of these sketches are more aesthetically pleasing.

Just comment either V1 or V2, or if you have any other suggestions that is more than welcome too!

(I also just want to say thank you so much for all the support. It honestly means so much to me. I really have no words! 🥺🧡)

[idek-carrie]

I think it’s safe to say V2 has won 🤣

Attention non-artists who commission artists: don’t fuckin do this???

[cursedcharley]

Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause ‘it took too long’ that he figured I wasn’t going to do it after I gave him the file.

Don’t do this. Do not.

[littlegreendorito]

I’ve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didn’t spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. I’ve also had the above happen to me as well.

Don’t do this shit to artists. We’re people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. It’s a job.

[aroyalmoon-deactivated20211014]

Use Paypal Invoices. 

I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes. There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission). And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.

ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists – Fuck you. It’s okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know what’s going on. Let us WORK with you.

[thelilnan]

ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists don’t print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.

However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences

>> Shipping Preferences

>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!

As a big supporter of artists, don’t you ever fucking dare fuck over an artist like that. Like don’t. And if they take their time to do a good job, don’t shit all over them for it! Don’t be a fucking ass hole. Just don’t. These people put a  LOT of work and time and effort into their artwork. Just don’t be that guy. Often times these artists aren’t even getting what they deserve in compensation. 

[happykittyshop]

I am very grateful my customers have been good to me, but I’m spreading the word.

[guzma-reader-hell]

Very important!

[theakaning]

As a new artist, I’m very grateful for this post. Never knew this. Thank you.

[enteratabucking-deactivated2020]

@saferion - I know you create some artwork/photo edits. I’m not sure if you knew about this or not but I figured I’d pass it along just in case.

[safingual]

Thank you for mentioning and warning! PayPal is a big hole of pitfalls, it’s always good to be aware of these kind of things!

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR ARTISTS AND CUSTOMERS.

[ketchuplaser]

I’ve had good experience with my few commissions, but this is good info for all artists

[blueroansnbuckskins]

Attention all artist!!

[idek-carrie]

I think this is as done as it can be without destroying it. I wasn’t really feeling this piece 🤷🏻‍♀️...so I don’t really feel good about it 😅

But...Jaskier or Yen next?

Let me know!

[idek-carrie]

I want to be this good again 😭...it’s the clothing for me

(Is it Ironic that I said that I didn’t feel good about this back then?)

[idek-carrie]

Variations

This has been a mad rollercoaster creating this piece...deffo worth it!

(This is just 5/17 versions 😅)

[idek-carrie]

What’s next?...

Should I do enola holmes digital art pieces next? (I’m not sure if I’ll be too late to the party) I would be drawing Enola, Sherlock and Mycroft...or should I do a Witcher, Ciri piece (maybe I’ll do a geralt piece, but I’ve done quite a few of them) ?

[idek-carrie]

I have: finished!

This took me ages, probably not worth the amount of time it took bc I feel like I kinda just went with it after the portrait was done, but yeah. Just a lil studie to get me back into thingss!

(I might also have 16 other variations of this 👀🤣)

Please go and give the inta some love too (@) callistodesign_ 💕

[idek-carrie]

It’s been a while...Sorry😬

I’m not sure if anyone actually cares about my work anymore, and I’m sorry. That’s all my fault. The past few months have been tough, especially monetary wise, and I had to save up to buy a new graphics tablet...

I decided to get back into drawing with a little AC Valhalla piece.

(I decided i would try and snapshot the process until I can figure out how to do a time lapse video on this software)

[idek-carrie]

I found a fur texture brush, and I have to say. I nearly cried, it looks so close to being finished but it really isn’t 😭

(Standard. Leaving the eye till last as usual)
