(formerly rhaebhae) I’m 22. I’m a hobby artist of sorts, currently exploring oil pastels & markers. Expect some non-sexual nudity, it will be tagged with {#figure drawing} All work I post is my own.

Semesters over, and my partner got me new markers for my birthday. Time to draw and learn how to use these things, lol

the age old struggle…

[swamppaint]

I made a LOT of mistakes on this mini portrait. Ah well. Y’all get to see my mistakes

I can say, I like the way the shirt turned out. There’s always something I like

[swamppaint]

(Mostly) moved into my new place and finally starting to get to the boxes with my art supplies!

Soooo mini portrait to start off my tiny sketchbook. Limited myself to 3 colors for the portrait + 1 for the background out of the few markers I have

[swamppaint]

Still have all my art stuff packed, so have more old stuff. Summer 2018

Flatmates (and bunny) watching tv in my former flat

Another old one. Packing for a big move rn, no time to draw. This was from a finals study-break party in my usual study room in my dorm that year. My mind was definitely on chemistry at the time and not on this painting, but I still kinda liked how it turned out then

This is art related, right? I carved pumpkins last October with my roommates and it was real fun

Another drawing of my favorite subject from a year-ish ago. Tried to go for as simple as I could get while still maintaining likeness in color. I’d love to do more in this style eventually

Here’s the first rough test sketch I did when i got my markers. Huntress Wizard from Adventure Time.

She not color accurate, as I’m working with limited colors. Also super stiff. I need more practice and am weirdly uncomfortable drawing fan art (idk). This was mostly a test for the markers

Probably definitely the largest traditional piece I’ve ever worked on, 18x36“ I think. Given as a gift.

My parents sold their house of 23+ years last summer, which included this shed they built out of old weathered wood and antique signs. I figured their new house could use some memories like this one.

I think markers are winning me over. I just have 10 colors right now (so lots of limited palette practice incoming), but I see myself investing in a full set in the coming months. Rip my wallet

[swamppaint]

Someone beat me with a stick until I use the proper paper for liquid media

[swamppaint]

She’s just vibin’

A page with a couple figure drawings I expanded on, and some that I didn’t
