Rea Should Be Writing

A safe place for insecure artists, new artists, and art lovers

[reashouldbewriting]

I made this a bit ago. I don't like posting online but I realize I kind of have to unfortunately. This is my boy Bren <3. I will try to get better about it I just don't really know where the best place to post is if I'm being honest. I'm too busy making jewelry and stuff. Artifacting a result of nightshade

I started this video a while back and finished editing it today. It was just for fun and let me tell you, I definitely enjoyed making it. Except for the outro, I hate outros.

I'm making all kinds of neat things and I'm trying to record myself making them so I can make videos on it. I finished some of the projects in this video already but, just as it once was Wednesday, they were once WIPS. It's basically no different than what I do any other day anyway, just different project! Anyway, I guess keep an eye out for more posts and different kinds of videos. I'm still trying to find my groove.

Sweet Breeze

A tale of two troubled spirits brought together by their struggles to face old and buried fears.

NEW WEBTOON CHAPTER

It's been months. Finally we can see the conversation Sil'Va has with one of the other forest spirits, Ianya.

After a lot of medical stuff though, I'm back, and hopefully back on track! I might not be able to do a chapter every month due to owning a business and needing to make art for that as well, but I will aim for every other month and play it by ear.

I'm back?

Not really? I just need to get my jewelry and art out here in the world so people will buy it and I can afford to publish my book. Oh yeah. Hello again I suppose. I both miss being out here in the wild just creating stuff and interacting with people and dread this. It feels unsafe and strange and I am full of fear.

💧Night Walks💧 DON'T SMOKE KIDS IT'S BAD • • I needed to stop working on this and posting art is usually the final nail in the metaphorical coffin that is my art process. So there. Can't touch it now. Alllll done.... e.e • after my bf finally convinced me to play Stardew Valley, I discovered they unintentionally programmed him into the game 🤣. The similarities to a specific character were troubling to say the least. I'm not going to list the similarities, there's too many. • To cope with the weirdness I drew my bf with Sebastian's hair and eyes. Here it be. Now, not only are they the same in what they say and do and everything else, they look similar... weird fanart portrait thing... 🤨 • Yes I know it's weird I'M weirded out. I don't know if this helped or made it worse...😬 • 💧 #digitalart #artist #stardewvalley #fanart #portrait #illustration #digitalpainting #punk #realistic https://www.instagram.com/p/CEW3AhLjECZ/?igshid=17sm125btnnha

☠Veiled Death☠ 🌑 Here's a bounty hunter. Locals call him many things, the most common being Veiled Death as he seems not to have the need to see to fight. He's in my books, and he works hard at night to kick some 🍑. 🌑 So it's a weee tad messy but to be honest I never intended to share it or finish it and you know what? ENOUGH OF THAT NONSENSE! I will share my stuff so that I can better document progress and also get used to completing artworks. It's too easy to start stuff and leave it unfinished. In my life, I have a habit of leaving things unfinished, I will try to stop that starting with my art ✊ 🌑 If you saw posters up of this spoopy guy, shat would YOU call him? ⚠️ Don't steal this boy, please, he's mine. He's in my book. 🌑 #oc #originalcharacter #digital #art #illustration #digitalartwork #digitalillustration #instagramart #digitalpainting #artist https://www.instagram.com/p/CDhLfaQjPwg/?igshid=1oyykukf3gao2

🎶The Ruby Nightingale🎶 🌹 I wanted you all to meet my son, his name is Zerichar and he is a teifling bard and a very special friend to Volaris🥰. 🌹 Zerichar Dhariliun is most well known for his beautiful voice and gentle demeanor but his heart knows no bounds as he tends to give far more than he receives. Whether it be through song, words of inspiration, or a helping hand, Zerichar never loses the will to spread love and hope in the turbulent world he was born. 🌹 He has a positive reputation in his home country of Wendlyn. By his friends, family, and a few neoghboring cities he is known as the Ruby Nightingale. The nightingale being a part of his family crest, and the Lily Mapira (Asiatic) being the second part. The brooch holding his small cloak is a variation of the crest and is adorned with 3 rubies. 🌹 🌌 #digitalart #originalcharacter #digitalpainting #illustration #art #drawing #digitalartwork #digitalsketch #dnd #teifling #bard https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1goH0hXc3/?igshid=1h78whjrnpwir

🌬Expectations🌬 . My favorite colors and my favorite things to draw again: Arlen, clouds, and light. It has helped to keep my mind occupied with these things lately. ☁️ I started drawing just to draw and ended up with this. I ended up obsessing over the pants because I was DETERMINED to make some decent looking clothing for once! Swipe to see close ups (Instagram makes the quality ucky I guess but 🤷🏼‍♀️). ☁️ I could've kept messing with the clouds because I truly enjoy doing so, but I'm happy with it as is so I figured I'd share as is. 🌬 There is deeper meaning to this as far as Arlen's character and story, but I'll leave it open for others to interpret as they wish. 🌙 No stealing my art please. Just please. Don't. 🌙 #digitalart #originalcharacter #digitalpainting #illustration #art #drawing #oc #light #clouds #amateur #broken #scars https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5nDJoBRMF/?igshid=1ie2udf05se25

⚔Hagalaz, Lögr, & Isa⚔ One of the leads in ny book, Arlen, in his natural habitat. He loves a good fight. There's a lot to be learned about him, and a lot is said in this picture. You'll have to wait till the books out to understand it all & learn the rest 🤭😉 🗡 I Heard a song and one of the male singers sounded exactly how I imagined Arlen. So, naturally, I dropped EVERYTHING, listened to the song on repeat, and drew what I imagined. I couldn't help myself. 🗡 What assumptions would you make about him from this image? What's his role in my book? Do you think he's a villain or a hero 🤭? ⚔ .(Hagall) 🗡 #digitalart #originalcharacter #digitalpainting #illustration #art #drawing #sword #warrior #norse #oc #amateur https://www.instagram.com/p/CADqkfjhKPx/?igshid=44gvtu7nykaa

🌸 "The violet ones are for you." 🌸 I haven't drawn a realistic picture of my baby Aldebaran yet, so here he is! I actually started this a while ago and got overwhelmed so I put it off. I ended up making it more difficult but WORTH IT! I've been heavily editing his chapters of my book these last few days and I think that's what inspired me to revisit his picture. He deserves to be happy 😭 💜 I basically Redrew him entirely. That's okay though, it looks LOADS better now than it did, I think anyways. ☺ The original that I never finished is on the second slide. It still looks okay but I think I improved it by starting over completely. 💜 Don't steal my art or my characters. If you want to draw them let me know and please give me proper credit for them 🤗🙏 💜 #digitalart #originalcharacter #digitalpainting #illustration #art #drawing #oc #flowers #purple #complimentarycolors #digitalillustration #love #semirealisticart #amateur #light #happy #sentimental https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kBAA_B3b_/?igshid=1gfa5a3mize18

🌊"I've never seen it before." 🌊 💧 This took me a while because I've had other stuff going on. But it's finally done! I figured I should be better about introducing my OCs but, there's still a lot subject to change so 🤷‍♀️ 💧 The comic is messy, but that's okay. 💧 Have you ever seen the ocean? Or a super huge lake? 🌊 shares appreciated 💙 #ocean #oc #art #digitalart #originalcharacter #digitalpainting #illustration #artist #creative #comics #digitalartwork #water #originalart #character https://www.instagram.com/p/B94OAXOJ0Lk/?igshid=1hjhyow9ya7i3

Another suggestion: studies! I really need to work on light, value, and cpr in general, so here's study one. I'll do a few more, but it'll take time. My OC, he's watermarked, DON'T TAKE MY ART. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF TALOS. IT'S BASICALLY SPOILERS FOR MY BOOK, SO BE NICE. 💧 🌊 ❄ #instagramart #amateur #digitalart #originalcharacter #digitalpainting #illustration #art #digitalillustration #artstudy #light #creative #cat #boutique #writer https://www.instagram.com/p/B8WWmdAhceX/?igshid=o1a7o3csd2h2

"It's alright, you can do it." 🥀 🌙 I took everyone's suggestions and decided to start with some anime fanart: a combo of two suggestions 🤗. I've never been good at the anime style and was dreadfully lost throughout this entire process XD but I had fun nonetheless and my adoration for Aguri and Koro and knowing my BF would criticize me for fanart of his beloved show motivated me X3 📚 🧫 🌙 #anime #fanart #korosensei #aguri #yukimura #assassinationclassroom #thereaper #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #art #amateur #love #creative #cat #boutique https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Jr-YBJMdA/?igshid=1dznar3vu0953
