Spent a long time yesterday trying to take photos of my tonsils. For art.
You ever try taking photos of your own tonsils with just a phone and a ring light and your mother giggling at you? It's harder than it sounds

Anyway peep this hot uvula action

Exactly! It's so freeing. Most of my usual art mediums/ techniques centre on gradual layering and a lot of blending, whereas gouache you just kinda put where you want it and. There it is it already looks good.

It's so good to see you having fun with gouache! I opened my jelly gouache set for the first time in years yesterday too! Just for a composition/colour thumbnail but it worked so well I'm kind of tempted to use them properly again.

I'm obsessed with it 😊 I'm trying to learn to draw it rn because I never see in art and it's such a unique and precious texture

A two panel comic. The top panel depicts an adult June beetle talking to their child, a grub. They are both in a dimly lit living room, with the grub in front of a TV depicting a video game taking place in a lush, green meadow. Adult beetle's dialogue: Ugh kids these days! When I was their age I'd climb trees! And ride my bike... outside!

Second panel, captioned "Meanwhile, outside..." Depicting a wide, hazy stroad (street-road). Cars are backed up at a stoplight and tall signs and billboards for vaguely fictional fast food and convenience stores can be seen. It looks like a desolate, unpleasant place.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too.

Not only is the site actively putting a β€œOkay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

A photograph of small mixed media panpastel and coloured pencil drawing in a soft nostalgic pop art style, sitting precariously on some pale blue knitted fabric, leaning against a fence. The drawing is of a red/ orange heart shaped ashtray surrounded by matching heart-shaped candies and some safety pins, with the end of a lipstick covered cigarette sticking out of it, and a single safety pin in it. Everything is in very soft focus with bright, almost shimmery highlights.  It has a very pale orange to pink blended background, and the tester piece of paper is still attached, covered in smudges and scribbles that match the drawing.

Sometimes I'll draw something and it'll be good, but it won't really feel "mine"? This does though.

Happy to say that the original painting of "Rising Through the Mists" is going to its forever home! :D
So thankful for all the love on this series that's so close to my heart πŸ’š

Spring is almost here, and I can’t wait to start gardening! 🌿 Here’s an illustration of one of my favorite garden helpers. A tiny rancher guiding his isopod herd through the night.

Oh wow!! Those look so funny, I can't imagine them just appearing on the lawn like molehills. Your grasshoppers look so different to ours too, like little striped seeds.
