My technique tends to be similar! I do start with a sketch at first though (often pretty vague) and then paint before adding lines at the end!

First row (left to right): The first shows a flowers, mainly daffodils, in a jug. There are two snails next to the jug. The second shows an orange cat standing on a branch in between orange/yellow fruit and leaves. The background is blue and on the top and bottom is a blue and white pattern as a frame. The third has a small white cat with a straw hat in a blue box, surrounded by more blue boxes with oranges in them. There again is a frame on the top and bottom of the image, this time out of oranges. Second row (left to right): Sketches of critters, moths/flying insects, caterpillars and a snail, all in rainbow colored pencil. A white tiger with blue and pink stripes (in trans colors) sitting in water with flowers behind it. A cat holding a flag pole with fish flags and colorful ribbons that dance in the wind. The cat walks over a green field
My prints from @vexnir.bsky.social just arrived and they're even more beautiful in person!! Can't wait to get them up on my wall π₯Ή
Thank you again for this!! π©΅π©·π€
Iβve created many artworks that looked terrible during the process. I used to get discouraged and frustrated, but Iβve learned to look at them and instead go βoh well, it canβt get worse, so letβs just do whateverβ. Funny enough, with the pressure gone, they tend to end up looking decent!

Finished illustration of the PokΓ©mon Staryu laying on the seashore. Not as bad as the work in progress picture!
Donβt be discouraged if your art looks βbadβ at first. The ugly phase is real! Trust the process and donβt give up π

06.08.2025 16:38 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Iβve tried it before and I liked it but the main hurdle for me is all the setup it requires! I have acrylic gouache (itβs matte acrylic) and itβs lovely but itβs hard to squeeze the right amount of paint and not waste it (once dry, itβs gone) and cleanup is a lot. I wanna try regular gouache again.

Things like this always take me by surprise. Iβm so flattered that you all support my art. I never expected it to happen. π₯Ή
Thank you! Truth be told it kind of happened as a happy accident π I messed up and it looked all muddy so I colored over it with pink
