Trying to pump out some witchy prop concept designs. Starting with slips of yew! This took way longer than I wanna admit. Forgot how to digitally paint. Still have a ton to draw/paint for a set >< #witch #macbeth #shakespeare #witches #plant #sketch #concept #painting #digitalart #prop #instaart #art #artstagram

Spent today planning and making a cheap palette for my new gouache set. Total spent for the palette was about $5 only because the magnet strips cost $3. Got the elmo tin and pill box set from Dollar Tree! I like that the tin already had a white coating. Wish they had more graphical options though. It was quite tedious cutting and sanding down the pill boxes but I wanted them to be shallow pans so it was worth the hand cramping effort. Happy with the perfect fit and it's easily swappable since they're magnetic. Swipe for the progress photos! #gouache #diy #tinbox #set #dollartree #ideas #holbein #elmo #travelset #watercolor #art #diyart

Found a really pretty lady from Google images for practicing faces and then drew some life drawing of my cat grooming herself. Inspired to practice realism!! #faces #art #sketch #sketches #sketchbook #artstagram #pencil #blackwing #studies #study #practice #cat

Not too inspired with the prompts recently for inktober so moving on to doing what I want instead. Got tired of the toned paper and wanna get more sketching and watercolor practice now~ Discovered a channel on YT by Sinix Design and totally inspired to practice practice practice :D #watercolor #watercolour #art #artstagram #instaart #inktober #paint #painting #moleskine #sketchbook #sketch

Cats have impeccable timing. Right as I finish and try to take a pic, she decides she needs affection STAT. Inktober Anthropomorphic People Day 07 - Lizard I originally wanted an older Texas gentlemen but then I couldn't figure out how to find reference so it turned into a western outfit which unintentionally looks like a character from Rango lol. #inktober #inktober2017 #ink #sketch #sketchbook #sketches #art #lizard #horned #cowboy #sheriff #western #rango #gun

Inktober Forest Characters Day 06 - Ancient Robot This one was hard, apparently I don't know much about drawing robots so this ended up being somewhat of a rip-off of the castle in the sky robots lol #inktober #inktober2017 #ink #art #artstagram #instaart #sketch #sketchbook #robot #ancient #forest

Inktober Fairytale Day 04 - Witch (of the East) Omg so late, finally got some down time to ink this one, got like 4 more to catch up on >< The snakes were a pain, don't draw creatures much ack. Was originally going to add an ancient wizard from a different prompt with her, but no time for all that. #inktober #inktober2017 #ink #art #artstagram #instaart #witch #asian #chinese #japanese #sketch #sketchbook #fairytale

When our Fisher Price coworkers abandon us for a week+ vacation. I did all the ones in the first photo, plus most of the first row of Batmans plus Catman. The plan is to fill the whole desktop. IT'S JUST A PRANK BRU #office #postits #laughandlearn #beatbo #batman
