I'm pretty proud of this one, it was one of my first attmepts at using Gouache. Such a fun medium but definitely took a bit to get my head around using it. This was using @artezaofficial Gouache Paint set (X24). ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ I've always wanted to give painting a proper go, usually I'm really impatient and prefer Digital or Markers because they give an instant result. But slowing down, taking extra time and painting, has given me a better look at the way I tackle colour and light. I finished painting this a while back but never actually posted it, but looking back through my sketchbook today made me think on how much I want to continue painting. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #createmakeshare #dailydoodle #sketchaday# watercolours #arteza #gouachepainting #watercolourpainting #watercolourart #artezawatercolors #makersgonnamake #sketchbook (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAC3enTjefE/?igshid=trvxmdvqyu2k

When Im not feeling inspired I will waste away my time on pinterest, saving things that I might want to reference when Im back in a drawing mood. . . I'm so glad this has become a habit for me. It makes it so much easu to pick something to draw. This one was actually a hairstyle I pinned for my hairdressers 😅 But I definitely had fun with it. . . . I used the Copic Ciao doodle pack in Pink and my trusty Col-erase pencil. . . . #sketchdaily #sketchaday #dailysketch #characterart #copicmarker #sketchbook #doodle #copic #art #drawing #illustration #artoftheday #artist (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-t75-KjL56/?igshid=n5milfe1te93

Wotcha! I actually got off my butt and drew some stuuuuuuff in my sketchbook for a change. WOW. That's a thing. . . Ignore the scratches on my hand, apparently my Kitten's stomach was making the rumblies- that only hands could satisfy. . . I've closed up my etsy shop recently, priorities have changed a little bit and I wanted to reassess what I want from all my doodles and where I want to go with it all. Soz an' all that. But I'm here for the sketches and the doodlin'. . . . . #sketchdaily #characterdesign #characterart #sketchbook #sketchaday #characterdesignchallenge #bristolart #dailysketch #drawingoftheday (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hMvU8DJK0/?igshid=12vspp8l3opsy

I'm spending the rest of this week sorting through my prints ready for #cardiffanimecon THIS WEEKEND. I have a whole new line of fanart ready to get printed and packed....if I can keep from throwing my printer out the window before Friday. 😅 . Not in Cardiff this weekend? You can also buy my prints through my webshop. Stephaniemale.co.uk/shop #cardiffanimeandgamingcon (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HcNo_Bu7Z/?igshid=j5ipptxpi0zn

Maybe I can finally add this now that instagram is working again. You might have already noticed, but I'll share it anyway. I thought it was high time for a new profile pic, so naturally I drew MYSELF 😘 . . . I've spent today designing a new display for my convention set up, hopefully it'll great. There's been more maths involved that I first considered so now my brain aches 😅 I've just got to venture out and buy some wood to actually make it. But that toally means getting dressed and I'm not sure I'm up for that challenge today. . . . . . #characterdesign #characterart #illustration #artistsoninstagram #dailyart #dailysketch #selfie #sketch #draw #sketchbook #illustrator #instaart #doodle #painting #pencil #creative #watercolor #artoftheday #instaartist #idrawcomics (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfFFynBZwN/?igshid=1fmddp0mi6kgq

SWIPE FOR FULL 👉 ... I've been so inspired and motivated recently, and that's usually pretty rare for me. So I've jumped on it and started plowing into new ideas ready for my next convention in AUGUST - @_animeleague #cardiffanimeandgamingcon . . . Can you guess what this portrait is from? Swipe to see the full image. It's not fully finished yet, Ive just got add the shading and maybe a background 🤔 . . . . . • • • • • #characterart #studioghibli #characterdesign #manga #spiritedaway #ghibli #totoro #hayaomiyazaki #howlsmovingcastle #kikisdeliveryservice #noface #myneighbortotoro #princessmononoke #animegirl #sketch #instaart #digitalart (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2Q93IB32a/?igshid=19zmn50tsgnbs

I really don't doodle men enough, my go-to is always drawing women. I just seem to be more comfortable with drawing the female form, but perhaps thats because I always draw myself in my characters and I find hard to convert that into male characters. . . . . • • • • • #sketchdaily #sketch_dailies #instartlovers #art_sanity #drawingskills #youngartist #dailysketch #art_conquest #sketchaday #sketches #characterdesign #sketching #artlovers #drawingoftheday #doodles #sketchbook (at Brislington, Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BykxKYvhJsK/?igshid=1m7eljn370koc

Teaching myself Watercolours at the moment- I am a total noob! I've been following some great Youtube videos on negative painting and I am in love with the depth of colours it creates 😍 Now to look out for more watercolour techniques to learn, what should I try next? 🤔 . . . . . . . • • • • • #sketch #watercolor #watercolour #sketchbook #pencil #draw #painting #watercolorpainting #waterblog #doodle #aquarelle #drawings #sketchaday #markers #dibujo #myart #stephinthestudio (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVfo2rhfOM/?igshid=13mv6io5gy1b5

When your quick pen test turns out better than the 1hr drawing 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I'm really enjoying working in my sketchbook at the moment. There's no pressure for it to be perfect or a certain style- less stressful and more freeing. Just what I need at the moment 😊 . . I love buying artist sketchbook zines and seeing into their brain a bit more. I'm thinking of putting together a yearly sketchbook zine of my sketches and finished illustrations so you can see the journey. Leave a comment below if that's something you'd be interested in seeing ❤ . . . . . • • • • • #doodle #sketchdaily #sketch #sketch_dailies #instartlovers #doodles #art_sanity #sketching #sketchbook #draw #drawingskills #youngartist #dailysketch #sketches #art_conquest #sketchaday #stephinthestudio (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BySGYTRhw10/?igshid=wyb5pkitet9e

I guess it's about time for me to post again 😅😅 I'm having trouble keeping my head screwed on at the moment, I'm a bit scattered across everything. But thankfully, I managed to get my butt in gear enough to finish all my Commissions from #bristolanimeandgamingcon . . . I had a lot of fun drawing this one, and it's quickly turned into my favourites. It's Calab & Frumpkin from Critical Role's Mighty Nein. I'm totally going to have to do more Mighty Nein in future. . . . . • • • • • #commission #dnd #commissions #dungeonsanddragons #sketch #draw #sketchbook #illustrator #instaart #doodle #painting #traditionalart #copicmarkers #pencil #mightynein #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQVr0Bhmpy/?igshid=16a0wjemmoawh

I've been a bit quiet again recently, working on commissions from the Bristol Anime and Gaming Con. I'm having a lot of fun drawing people's requests. I even got to draw this little portrait of the cutest girl from the Con on the day. Bunny lollipop and all 😍😍 . . . I'm still taking on commissions so if you fancy your OC or favourite character or even family portrait drawn up, just ping me a message. .. . . . #bristolgirlbosses #bristolanimecon #bristolanimeandgamingcon #sketch #commission #oc #copicmarkers #commissions #originalcharacter #doodle #sketchbook #draw #traditionalart #sketchdaily #pencil #sketching #instaart https://www.instagram.com/p/BxUXKypBLW6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g8wsz5izqm1z

I treated myself today to some of @winsorandnewton Watercolour pens, and have had a little play around this afternoon in my sketchbook. I had to get myself a Sap Green pen after watching @doodledateofficial youtube videos last night 🤣 . . . I think I need a bit more practice with them, they're so different from anything I've used before. I think using them on Watercolour paper would've been better too, my sketchbook soaked up all the pigment and it was hard to move around on the paper- definitely looking forward to using them more though! . . . . .You can support me and my doodles on Patreon, just click the LINK IN BIO to find out more info. . . . • • • • • #watercolour #waterblog #watercolorpainting #winsorandnewton #aquarelle #watercolor #watercolorart #sketchaday #sketchdaily #art_dnevnik #watercolour_gallery #sketch_dailies #gouache #instartlovers #art_sanity #art_we_inspire (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnIzFDBijR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v9tbwabvp05x

Serious face for serious times. LOL JOKES. I've been filming a lot of new videos for my Youtube channel recently, moving away a little from my art vlog to more Booktubing and I'm really enjoying it! Sometimes I put loads of pressure on myself and my art and it can take the fun out of it. Doing Book vlogs inbetween the art ones takes a lot of stress off myself, and I'm a more fun person when I'm not stressing out :D So keep an eye out for more Book reviews, Book Hauls and discussion videos on my blog and youtube channel....and obviously a heck of a lot of fanart. . .Check out my blog and vids via the link in the bio. . . . . . • • • • • #yalit #bookporn #bookstagramfeature #bookish #instabooks #bookblogger #vlog #booktube #bookblog #vlogger #bookaddict #booknerdigans #bookphotography #bibliophile #becauseofreading https://www.instagram.com/p/BuEOrXyH-30/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r0vvppo8owmo

It's always funny when you do a monthly card reading and they completely ring true. This was just a simple three card spread: Past- Ace of Wands, Present- Reversed Nine of Coins & Future- the Hermit. . . . For a while now, especially in the last few months, my inner voice has been screaming at me to just do it, get moving with life. Draw that thing, travel, do whatever. But for some reason I've gotten caught up in a horrible mindset of being really dissatified with my life, nothing seems good enough, but I've too lazy to do anything to change. Well the cards have spoken, no one is going to magically and drastically change my life but me. So I need to do what's right in my heart, mind and soul and work out where I'm going and how to get there. . . . . . • • • • • #witch #witchesofinstagram #tarot #magick #witchcraft #tarotcards #tarotreading #wicca #pagan #tarotreadersofinstagram #sketch #painting #occult #divination https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt0jrGeneCl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bbyjdiw0y77q

I'm on a Badge -making Bender at the moment, I bought myself a bunch of GIANT badge components and I'm having way to much fun making them. But would like to see any of my standard designs in GIANT versions? Or some new designs? I've got a few bookish literary designs lined up that I tested out at #cardiffanimeandgamngcon and they went down pretty well. . . . . . • • • • • #bookish #bibliophile #booknerd #bookworm #booklover #bookstagram #igreads #bookaddict #bookphotography #bookstagramfeature#booktube #bookgifts #etsyuk #witch# witchcraft #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/Btx_MC3naJT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pywsy59rtqxg
