a line drawing of an interior with shelves, a table, a bed, and plants

I love drawing interiors. I should paint some.

I use hot press grain fin, the smoother the better for me :)

Oh yes! Hot press grain fin :)

Thank you! They're definitely my comfort zone colours. :)

Autumn-themed sketches. I love working with screentones.

Thank you so much!! <3

Awww thank you so much!! :')

Says the man who makes perfect drawings within seconds and also calls them sketches. :D
I pieced the scans and photos together in Photoshop. I also stole the idea haha.

Wow, that is stunning!! Thank you so much for sharing.

Oh wow, I'm so happy to hear that, thank you!!

It feels so nice! It just requires careful prep, in my experience. Having good reference makes the traditional painting process go just as smoothly. :)

Thank you so much! I use a large brush (like an airbrush) with a subtle noise effect for those areas. :)

I looove painting leaves. :D

Thank you! :)
