“DROP IT!!!” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎨 App: CLIP STUDIO PAINT PRO on iPadPro 2020 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cspcontest32 entry ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For this illustration I used CSP’s ink, watercolor, and paint brushes as well as some photos for additional texture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📚For those of you who missed my story post: In #mfa_wofv⚔️ Book 2 there is a scene where Lauraliee dives into the Mermaid Lake. Almost instantly, she is seized by Spot — a giant 🐙 — who is like a big puppy. He loves Lauraliee instantly, because she is bonded to the Water Spirit, Nenya. He squeezes her for a snuggle, not realizing that he’s terrifying. His best friend, the merman Ariel, shouts at him to: “Drop it!” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyone who’s ever had a dog is familiar with this scene. 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🫣 What is the worst thing your pet’s ever picked up along the way? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #milifayart #illustration #giantoctopus #merman #underwaterlife #fantasyillustration #fantasybookseries #artnouveaustyle #inkandwatercolor #digitalpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf-KgP2L6VW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🦩Flamingo Party🦩 Tile 3/3 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Continued from previous post.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One day, after working on this painting for several weeks, I woke up unable to use my right arm. I have never been more terrified in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I damaged my rotator cuff and something else just by painting all day. Painting! I would understand the injury if I lifted weights, but I mostly worked with a size 6, short, round brush the previous day. I’m in my 30s! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because of the pandemic it took months for me to able to see a physiotherapist. Then, it took more months of exercises to get my arm to lift above 90 degrees and turn to the side. All that time I was unable to paint on the canvas, though, thankfully, I was still able to work at the table. Though it’s almost there, my right arm is still not back to normal. Even my left is showing sympathy pains. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, I’m trying to tell all the artists I know to stretch before painting, and to set up timers so they could get out of The Zone every couple of hours to do more stretching and exercise. I don’t want anyone to share my experience. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With the painting finally finished, I understand why all those masters I admired had apprentices. I will never work on a painting this size again! 🤔Unless someone offers me an obscene amount of money I could just not say “No!” to. 🤗 The key word here is OBSCENE. You can view my progress from the first day of painting to last via the Highlights: Acrylic 🦩 1-3 and swipe through the carousel for some stats and art print details. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m going to work on Procreate until I’m comfortable with the tools. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Love, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ M . . . #milifayart #traditionalpainting #flamingoparty #acrylicpainting #artistslife #instart #flamingos #flamingoart #originalpainting #teal #magenta #animalart #masterwork #masterpiece #artchallenge #acryliconcanvas #painture #сликање #картина #pittura #cuadro #페인트 등 #ペインティング #绘画 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmsCU8jBDn/?igshid=1pjj2uc4e8o70

Happy Birthday, Ariel! 🧜‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve decided to get on the birthday wagon, because Ariel is one of the reasons I decided to become an animator. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Image 2: The first colored drawing of Ariel I created on the day I first saw the movie. The same page includes other drawings of Ariel as I was growing up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Image 3: Last year at TAAFI I was fortunate to meet Dan Haskett, the man who designed Ariel. I almost died! I have never geeked out that much. For years I thought the great Glen Keane deigned Ariel — the animator who is responsible for the most iconic and memorable moments from the film. Image 4: My latest Ariel inspired drawing. @emmastone as the Little Mermaid for my Every Girl Is A Princess Series. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I will always love Ariel, because she is brave, determined, and spunky. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it. She is not afraid to cross boundaries and fight for impossible dreams. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thelittlemermaid #drawingoftheday #mermaid #ariel #30thanniversary #painting #artistsoninstagram #30thbirthday #disney #disneyprincess #princessariel #girlsinanimation #girlsinillustration #instaartist @disney @disneylittlemermaid @disneyanimation @disneyprincess #milifayart #mfa_egiap👑 #danhaskett #designerofariel https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Gz_BaA6Kw/?igshid=1oo4yk46xtnai
