Tb to my friend @alannah1313 's birthday present! I should get back into watercolours

Finally got this done 😍 Tho, I'm now getting into a white background rut. Hmph

I've realised that I've kinda fallen into a pattern of just side profiles 😅 Bit embarrassing. I don't like feeling like I've gotten stuck in a rut. Anyway, I decided to use a different brush for my lineart here, and tbh, I think it looks a lot better. I prefer the weight of this one and the way it keeps colour instead of kinda diluting it like my last brush did. I might start using this instead!

Waaaay late entry for a prompt thing on Deviantart, lol. I had fun with the background, even tho it was pretty simple 😀

I spotted an incredibly well-dressed stranger on the bus a couple of days ago! Of course, tho, me being a grandma, I immediately inverted the colours in my mind 😭 In reality, she was wearing a red striped top and a green skirt. I think this is pretty cute too, though! Also, I know I said this was on a bus, but just to be clear, this isn't an exact depiction of the bus. Irish buses are nowhere near this clean.

I'm now selling custom Discord emojis! They can be of whatever you want. Each one will cost a dollar, but you can buy in bulk if you want to! I find that these emojis come in really handy for roleplays and DnD campaigns, particularly if you're playing a character that's really expressive or emotional. Just give me some references and I'll get them done. Email me!

Sneak peek at my version of the art style challenge! I borrowed @lavendertowne's style to draw Ella 💓

[vanillaswimmer]

Yeah lol I’m obsessed. Help

Guess who started binging on another show! Gah, I'm actually really into this series. I'm a sucker for magical girls lmao. I've also been really into 90s anime style lately, and considering the whole magical girl thing, I couldn't help but think of Sailor Moon and this came about as a result! I admit, I need a lot of practice with 90s style anime, and I haven't drawn in that style for such a long time - but hey, practice makes perfect, yeah? Also, credit to @heart_puff for inspiring me with their amazing style!

I'll admit, I don't pay that much attention to sports stuff. I'll definitely listen if @serenawilliams is mentioned, though! She's such an inspiration to me ❤
