A Distracted Artist

Hello all you wonderful people. I’m an artist. I do art things. And sometimes, I get distracted. I sketch a bear on one page and end up with a unicorn on a sticky note. Regardless, I love drawing what people suggest to me. I love knowing I made someone’s day with whatever I drew. So, all you lovely folks, ask me to draw anything (well, anything appropriate that is *8) Enjoy!

My #10yearchallenge 😁 10 years ago that horse drawing was to me the pinnacle of my abilities. Looking back? #eww I’ve come a long way in ten years, and I can’t wait to see how far I go in the next ten! #horse #digitalart #glowup #lighting #woot https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lji26nXRP/?igshid=1dx0icod5lxwd

Decided to try my hand back at physical drawing media😅 went and got some toned paper and some pens and such—here’s my first page in the new sketchbook! I’m not sure what dog it is, since I try not to use reference photos🥴 #dailydoodle #ink #charcoal #pupper #lighting #woot https://www.instagram.com/p/B6J1v69nFO_/?igshid=xnwi8criq2oi

I was inspired today for no particular reason. I wanted to be ToTaLLy ORiGiNaL and draw a real life Mufasa😅 and honestly, I’m really please with how it turned out❤️ #dailydoodle #mufasa #lion #sunrise #digitalart #lighting #woot https://www.instagram.com/p/B5G1ArMnong/?igshid=151ndl16uhqhb

It’s a not so happy subject, but it’s a deeply personal experience that I and millions of people across the world struggle with daily. In honor of #mentalhealthawareness day, today’s sketch is to portray one of the many ways depression feels to me. To anyone else struggling day to day with mental illness, just know you aren’t alone❤️ #dailydoodles #depression #mentalhealth #notalone https://www.instagram.com/p/B3dqsMYnsH9/?igshid=1pl8y6nf4laoe

Today’s #dailydoodle is actually a drawing of a vivid memory from a couple of months ago. I was leaving a store and I saw this swallow chasing after a bug that was just as big as the bird was! It was such an incredible an also amazingly funny sight and I just really wanted to share that memory with you through art❤️ #swallows #birb #memories #digitalart #lighting #woot https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zYN4wHz88/?igshid=1iv3muhk1sztw

Today’s #artprompt was a bit of a special one😅 it was the word “thithers.” Naturally, my mind took it a special way, so here’s my response to the art prompt😂 #thithers #tyson #scissors #digitalart #lighting #woot https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxh-JDXnTno/?igshid=tts0trzfg9yo
