Tess Draws Stuff

This is where I post sketches, fanart, and work that didn't make the portfolio cut...and maybe the stuff that did too.

Twitter and Instagram!

Hey to everyone following me here! I don't really post my work or progress images to Tumblr so I've decided to switch over to Instagram and Twitter! This blog will stay up but will no longer be active.

You can find my Instagram at username tessdrawsstuff

You can find my Twitter at @TessMickle

I tend to use Instagram more but right now I'm posting all my inktober work to both!

hey i saw ur flags that said "i do not exist to make you comfortable" and i love them! but u should rly make one with the lesbian flag, bc im sure theres lotsa lesbians following u who wanna see that too! its fine if u dont but its just a suggestion if u wanted to make another one 🌈

Thanks anon! I somehow managed to lose that one in my Photoshop file, sure enough there was one more unfinished layer in there. I’ve added it to the post and to my redbubble! 🌈

Let me know if I missed any more!

“I do not exist to make you comfortable”

This seemed like a good thing to make. I did one in traditional media for the bi flag and then this just kinda happened. If you’re interested you can buy shirts and phone cases and such HERE

[tessdrawsstuff]

Edit: I also did the poly pride flag but you can only put ten images in a post.

This one is also available through the above link.

If I’m missing any let me know! I know I didn’t do the lesbian flag but I heard something about it being trans exclusionist and I haven’t been able to find more information so if anybody knows anything let me know!

[tessdrawsstuff]

Someone pointed out I hecked up and somehow managed to forget the lesbian pride flag Here you go! I’ve also added it to my redbubble so you can find it at the link above or you can find my shop through my blog!

I’ve been using Instagram more and it’s helping motivate me to do small traditional pieces. This is an outlier among what I’ve been doing but I’m very salty about a conversation had with someone in which I was told it would be easier for them if I were straight. To be honest, kinda glad because I’ve been in such a slump lately I honestly forgot how wonderful of an outlet art could actually be.

And if you’re lgbtqia and someone says anything like that to you I want you to know they’re wrong and you’re fine the way you are and I love you.

Prints and stuff available here.

UPDATE! I’m moving Mina from my “official” redbubble to the one I use that has the rest of my fanart but this could take a little bit to fix while I juggle between two computers In the meantime you can purchase exclusively my original work HERE  - plants, cryptids, protest art, we’ve got it all!

All my fanart and a selection of smaller original pieces are HERE  - if you’ve ever needed anything with a sparkling trash can on it here’s where you get it!

I started a new job and everybody I work with is either a gay guy or straight woman and I’m over here like

I finally finished them... 2 hours before the end of Mermay.

I really like koi fish so I had to do something with them. I thought it would be kinda cool to do vitiligo and albino for their human halves since those types of coloring/patterning are really common in koi. I’m still not sure how I feel about how Albino turned out but it was mostly an experiment in shading and I honestly know I could have done much worse so I’m still proud of her.

It's very possible I've been working on this too long.

[tessdrawsstuff]

It's finally done, somewhere between 10 and 20 hours from sketch and it is done!

“Witch’s Garden” is a project I did a few months ago that included these four accompanying nature patterns for a show I did in May.

What better time to post them than near Halloween?

Happy Halloween everybody! And an early congratulations to everybody who kept up with Inktober. Gotta say, I tried it for the first time this year and barely made it a week before getting sidetracked.

You can buy prints and products of the map, as well as all of these patterns on a bunch of different products at my redbubble Here
