Another WIP, trying to get the shadows nailed down.

I still have no idea what I’m doing, just making it up as I go along...

[arcticwanderer]

Almost finished fine-tuning my settings. It cuts *almost* everything out of the cardboard, but I’m worried that if I increase the pressure/blade length any more it’s going to ruin my mat. (which already has holes in it...)

I can deal with a little bit of faffing about though, as long as it keeps cutting 95%+ of the pattern.

Main problem now is that it’s so warm in the office that my sketch pens are blobbing all over the place... :/

Still picking away at this one...

I keep hitting walls and having to bench it for a while before I dig it up again, think I’m almost ready to add the background, - finally.

Just need to mess around a bit with the details, after I figure out how to make the bg I’m planning. (knowing me it’ll take 20secs, simply because I’m expecting it to take long...)

It’s finished! Finally, I thought I’d killed it by trying to draw those ferns...

Ferns took about 75% of the time I spent on this, I was actually really surprised how fast everything else went.

Wanted to try making a stylised logo type thingimabob, so borrowed @eskiworks character Nym. For some reason I prefer drawing other people’s charas over my own, ah well. Also slapped some paper textures over there for good measure.

Everything is done with vectors for infinite resizability, however I’m having troubles sorting through all my paths so it’s actually a giant mess.

2 years! Last year I was up to lvl 33, a year later I’m up to lvl 36, - the xp curve is astronomical...

Over 4k km walked, almost 1900 eggs hatched, over 13k pokemon caught, 2.6k pokemon evolved and just over 9.5k pokestops spun so far.

Here’s to another year! Want to be at least lvl 38 this time next year!

Stupid cold be damned, I wanted to finish this so there!

Now I can finally go pass out in bed for an hour or so. :D

[arcticwanderer]

Been working on this facepalm pic for a couple of days, was intending to finish it yesterday/today but just got hit by a cold so have no energy. All that’s left now is refining the lighting on the chest/mane and then to add some highlights.

Curling up in bed trying to snooze this bug away for now...

Also, in the rare case I have the time (and energy) to draw I often stream, so if you fancy stopping by you’ll find me here: https://picarto.tv/ArcticWanderer

(Like I say, streams are rare but I do try to stream whenever I happen to be doodling stuff.)

Made a little knotwork design thingie, going to slap it on a box lid as decoration with a glass gem thingie sitting in the middle.
