Ok time to stop poking at this - art trade with @fifteen.carnations it’s her little eyeliner bunny, so cute! Sketch included since I can. For animals I’m pretty comfortable with a loose sketch and making decent changes in the lineart stage - NOT SO with people heh. . . . . #procreate #artistsoninstagram #art #hotot #bunny #petportraits #digitalart #pets #strawberry https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UnnNOlCKP/?igshid=h9p6fvf5z8yc

I said I would never oil paint again, gave away my canvases. Then this happened. Oops. Also it was... fun? While painting many people asked me where I get my skulls (I guess I forget that skull collections are unusual!) Mine are from @theboneroom although they are no longer in the Berkeley location where I bought them in person. That was one of my favorite places on the planet. . . . . . #traditionalpainting #oilpainting #oilpaint #stilllife #skull #boneroom #animalskull #artistsoninstagram #art #artist #artwork #goatskull #calcoloracademy @calcolorart @calcoloratelier https://www.instagram.com/p/B16rM7Nlsi6/?igshid=8r3y323701dy

First pixel art and perler! Ironing disaster though haha. One of my favorite fish, the cardinal tetra. I love how perlers make you really think about how to convey your subject minimally like the first pixel artists had to. At 40x23 pixels, the sprite is tiny on screen, but a relatively hefty perler and can be condensed further for a better keychain or pin size. . . . . #aquarium #aquariumfish #aquariumhobby #cardinaltetra #artistsoninstagram #perlerbeads #pixelart #fish #craft https://www.instagram.com/p/BzYukUCFpxO/?igshid=1tgvzv5dbj1fe

Painting is really hard. Photo study. No color picking. . . . . . . #digitalpainting #cintiq #photoshop #artistsoninstagram #artimprovement #interior https://www.instagram.com/p/BwYz1xRFR9B/?igshid=juwjctkx5212

Recent rough composition thumbnails I liked, hope to make some into finished paintings! I always felt composition was a weaker spot of mine and it feels like it's coming together for me now. . . . . . . #art #artistsoninstagram #digitalpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/BuLKsDDFSEK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gndwv20lbf2o

Time to round up the dots again. Each dot is one hour. Dots of the same color next to each other represent work done in the same day. Year end total: 1319 hours, a ~500 hour increase from last year. Most hours worked on figure drawing, with 384 hours. Unsurprisingly, this is where I felt I made the biggest improvements. Least again is composition, with a measly 3 hours... that will change. New years resolution: continue. Also, have some birds. . . . . . #nevergiveup #drawaholic #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BsGg0zdlI6D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10swenoiu49xd

Here is a Jellie for @goodtimeswithscar . I was introduced to Scar's videos through Tango's cat farm for him last December. So all I knew at first was that he liked cats (which is enough for me tbh) but I found so much more than that. Thank you Scar for all of the cats, laughs and inspiration over the past year and I hope you feel better soon. . . . . . #hermitcraft #jellie #minecraft #cat #digitalpainting #catpainting #art https://www.instagram.com/p/BrlJYWrF-Vf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4rhax3wc9a0i
