Plus, I spend a lot of time cleaning my brushes at the sink instead of just dipping them and wiping them, but I’ve learned the hard way it’s the best solution to ensure I don’t end up using a dirty brush while I’m focused and just end up muddying the colours…

Artists, what is your paint brush routine?

One of the biggest challenges for me while painting is keeping my station (and myself) clean! I often find myself covered in paint after a session — which is why I NEVER work in the same clothes I wear outside.

Ballpoint pen sketches.

I found some old boxes and… gosh, I forgot how much I draw. Due to my ADHD, I’m not really able to keep a sketchbook, so I’ve always drawn on whatever is available.

Which one should I turn into a finished illustration?

Artists: What is your favourite print-on-demand shop to sell your art that doesn’t use it for AI training?

To Astarion or not to Astarion?

Drew this, then realised it gives me Astarion vibes. Maybe an AU where they are young and well nourished? Still naughty though.

What do you think?

Technique: Pantone markers and ink on sketch paper

No reference

No sketch

Time: about 3 hours

My entry for #shrimpspacechallenge on IG. The prompt was "Astronauts, a Space Odyssey".

This is not only my first challenge for Shrimp Nation, but also my first art challenge on this account.

The drawing is markers on paper, with a final pass in Photoshop.

A quick sketch of Vi from Arcane. No pencil prep, directly on ink! I'll post process later.

Not sure who this guy is, but he’s not having a great day! Still fun to draw anyway.

DAY 8 OF 30 of drawing everyday - ADHD Edition

Verryyyy loosely inspired Heavenly Tyrant by @xiranjayzhao, which I was listening to while sketching.

Again, no reference, just vibes.

@bbnomula.bsky.social loves his art, and so I deliver.

No sketch, no preparation, no reference picture. Just markers, ink and a bit of an hyperfixation.

8. DAY 8 OF 30 of drawing everyday - ADHD Edition

I started a new drawing. Lolz! How very ADHD of me. I wonder how many finished drawings I will have at the end.

Should use markers or pencils to colour this one?

No reference free hand illustration. Loved doing the jewellery and adding the golden tips on the fingers!

I can’t believe I got this far.

It was such a joy to post this today, mostly because… it’s done! And that’s a pretty big deal to me!

I don’t know what it says about me that I went to your profile fully expecting a 421 days saga of the Hidden Sorcerous Air Cooler 😂 #willingtobelieve

Ps. And I caught on camera not only the moment when my mechanical pencil’s tip broke, but also when the nub fell out. I might do a video just about that one. I feel better. 😂

When I started doing this serie, I promised myself I wasn’t going to chase the algorithm, and this is part of that. I got quite ill and I only had energies to do only one thing, and as an artist I will always prioritise creating over social media.

Yep, I haven’t been posting every day, but I have been drawing every day!

What do you think? Does it still count?

Not sure what l'm doing here but I just wanted to draw something and wasn't in the mood of filming (I don't have a camera stand).

DAY 4 OF 30 of drawing everyday - ADHD edition

This audio cracked me up in correlation with my OC navigating the ship.

It resonates a lot with ADHD too: you know where you want to go, or do, but you can’t.

1. DAY 1 OF 30 of drawing everyday - ADHD edition.

I've never done anything in my life for 30 consecutive days, so this is a super extra challenge for me. Extra bonus points if I manage to finish what I start.

Please support me 😍

Starting the week with a new illustration.

With this one I wanted to convey a sense of peace and protection… 🌸
