Shrimp Thyme

Digital art, stickers, designs & some sketchbook stuff occasionally

NEW SKETCHBOOK! Filled my first sketchbook in probably 5 years and got myself a new one as a birthday present 😄

Bottom 2 sketches are just mucking around/Loomis head sketches with no references, obviously need more study and I see many issues with it but SUPER happy with them regardless considering what I was drawing a month or so ago.

Top one is a referenced image, happy with that as it kinda looks like the reference but a little stylised.

Aaaaaannnnnd then I just randomly filled the spaces around the page with random sticker experiments of mine.

Sketched a bunch of sleepy kitties in squares🥰

Uses my own kitties as reference

Made some spooky pumpkins in my sketchbook and liked them enough to do them in procreate

I must make bad art. Bad art is the first step. Bad art is the little-death that brings me closer to understanding. I will face my bad art. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the bad art has gone there will be improvement. Only good art will remain.

Trying to learn rendering and painting by values (also, how does facial hair work???) by drawing what will surely be my favourite handsome sad boy halandil fang.

Still plugging along with drawing 100 heads. Coming upto 1 month of drawing everyday in my sketch book and really starting to see some good results.

Hopped off the the 100heads challenge for a minute, but knocked out a couple today and SUPER happy with the improvement from the first page of heads.

Left is the first head i did, right is a redraw of the same reference......bruh

Drawing fun stuff in the sketchbook today. Getting ready for season 4

Ready to meet Liam's new sad boi character......

Only a single head drawn today, and I feel totally incapable of art today (traditional drawing is haaarrrddd 😭)

[shrimp-thyme]

Another couple of heads in the q00 heads challenge. Had work today so little less time for sketching, first side profile, not super happy with it but irs all learning.

Also, STRUGGLED with the left eye on top legs guy..... looks like he got pink eye now but whatever.

Also, how does hair work?!?

[shrimp-thyme]

Posting my sketch book pages everyday until my art no longer sucks.

Have never been able to draw faces, always avoided it. Trying to do the 100 heads challenge (no sticking to the 10 days, Trying to make it achievable for myself 🙃)

Also trying to just post my stuff to get over the "BIG FEARS" of posting bad art.

Gotta say, HUGE improvements from first face to these.....

Pages 1 and 2 here, they look almost nothing like the references......

Not as bad as this page with what can only be described as "handsome squidward" on the bottom right.....

But was SUPER happy and surprised? By no.11, like, where did that come from?

Was suuuupppper sick when I was trying to draw these (damn sinus cold!) So wasn't feeling it and a lot of the features are just not right.

Right, caught up up i think. On to tomorrow.

Playing around in procreate and clipping masks ☺️

Had a go at replicating a “watercolour” style in procreate with an older flower art piece I did.

Pretty happy with the results☺️
