Those guys in the strongman competitions where they pull semi trucks and planes

Anime Bara Art

I draw David bowie because I was listening to 80s hits Playlist earlier and his music is top fucking notch.

And here's the reference picture I used. This was so fun I usually only color things digitally because it's easier, but coloring traditionally is so fun and you get to mess around with so many mediums. I forgot how fun colored pencils can be!

I think it’s really funny how some ppl open their mouth when you put makeup on them, and I just had to do this with the 2 of them <3<3<3

I had such a fun time with this!!! I love a laughing Plumeria, she brings me joy  💝 And both of them making each other laugh it’s even BETTER 😍🥰💗

Forgot to post this here, but I joined an art study group about 10 weeks ago, and have been working hard at doing weekly studies to gain some stronger art muscle!

It’s been super fun and I am learning a lot. Plus, the encouragement from other members helps keep me going!
