But also for some reason NICE ballpoint pens are GOD AWFUL for transferring, PLEASE use just a basic bic pen anyone reading this who’s also not super experienced in transferring so you don’t have to deal with the bs I had to😭

I was working on transferring a sketch yesterday and oh my god it was a humbling experience. I’ve gotten WAY too used to how perfect you can make digital art and was freaking out over every little incorrect line. Having a much better time with it today now that I’m accepting that imperfection more

Reposting this here (original post is from my main account) because it seems like no one’s seeing it? My main account posts usually get at least one like within the first few hours after posting, but it’s been a whole day and it hasn’t gotten even one yet :/

Thank you!❤️

Person with unnaturally long neck tilted to the side, looking at viewer with a sort of calm, welcoming, maybe comforting expression, hand is held over their chest. Long, straight, black hair falling straight down from their head

Sketched this a few months ago, I was trying to make this feel uncanny but was told by others I asked for critique from that it actually had a sort of calm feeling lol. Oh well, if/when I come back to this that's just something I'll have to work on #art #sketch #digitalart

Little Magnus archives sketch I did for fun.

Also messy 2c hair is so hard to draw, definitely need to do some more studies

I literally have a rule in place to not work on art an hour before bed because I know myself, /and/ /yet/ /I/ /still/ /pull/ /this/ /shit/😭

Picture of a sketch of a person, head turned at 3/4 angle with messy shoulder-length 2c hair, wearing sleeveless mock neck

I’m about an hour past my bedtime because I spent 30 minutes on this, convinced I could just do something in 5 minutes even though I know from experience that’s never the case😭 #art #sketch #imsotiredwhydoidothistomyself

Picture of a partially done sketch of a person looking down with bits of them sort of liquefying and floating up. Pencil sitting on top of paper

Some more progress on this #art #sketch #wip #process #melty

Sketch of person at 3/4 angle, slightly angled above person, wearing sleeveless mockneck, locs pulled into a ponytail

Here's a warmup sketch from a few weeks ago #art #digitalart #sketch #warmup

Picture of an open sketchbook with a pencil and eraser sitting on top, partially done sketch of a person looking down

Working on my first fully finished, well-planned traditional illustration in years and I miss my digital tools so much🥺 #art #illustration #wip #process #sketch #traditional

Sketch of a person posed dramatically, looking to the left with a sort of panicked expression

Here's a sketch from a few months ago! Funnily enough, the cloak was actually supposed to be hot pink but I forgot about that until I was already over halfway done with the overall colors lol #art #digitalart #sketch #oops

Picture of a framed print hanging on a wall. Print is of an illustration of a person floating, legs mostly curled under them, upper body leaning forward, one arm folded against torso, the other pointing down, person looking forward, hair flowing around their head to form a circle. Moon and other intricate linework behind figure

Also, the pose was heavily inspired by this illustration by @coeykuhn.bsky.social! I couldn't find any images of it online and it's no longer listed on their online store where it was bought, so here it is on my wall

Person floating, arms are held close to torso loosely, legs are halfway folded upwards, person looking slightly up and to the left, hair is long and flows down into a round shape, turning into a sort of concave form the person is floating in

This is something I sketched recently. I want to edit the hand sizes and the shape of the hair-bowl-thingie, but I absolutely plan to finish this! #art #digitalart #sketch #wip #process

Same composition as sketch, some lines are darker and more defined (line art) while some are barely visible (sketch layer below line art layer at a low opacity)

(this is really difficult to describe, so I'm sorry if this is confusing) A sketch of a person, visually cut off just below the shoulders, looking up with an extremely pained expression, crying. The tears extend past the face in straight lines going down, turning into swirls and filigree, being the compositional element that cuts the figure off just below the shoulders. Dots extend up or down some swirls. An arched line sits above the figure.

This is the sketch and the current line art progress of a piece I'm currently working on! Really excited to see where this one goes, I'm really happy with where it's going so far. #art #digitalart #sketch #WIP #lineart #progress

Person standing, body facing forward, visible from about waist up. Everything below neck is in silhouette, filled with an earthy watercolor wash. Head is turned to the right, looking calmly off in the distance. Hair is a shoulder-length, fluffy, wavy bob with bangs that stop at the eyebrow

Here's a sketch I drew quite recently! I decided to really try to push a more traditional art look with this one #art #digitalart #sketch

Same composition as sketch, sketch faintly visible w/ a few darker lines visible (line art)

Sketch of a person with dreads w/ head pointing slightly up, looking at viewer. Dreads wrap around to make a round shape and visually cut the person off right at the based of their neck

This is a sketch and the beginning of the line art for said sketch that I started a while ago. I absolutely intend to come back to this to finish it in the future, I really love how the expression came together! #art #digitalart #sketch #process #WIP

Figure with long, black, straight hair, chest to head is visible. Torso facing mostly forward, slightly tilted left. Head at 3/4 angle to left, looking at viewer.

This is a sketch I drew a few months ago and the one I decided to make my pfp! #art #sketch #digitalsketch #blackandwhite #negativespace #pfp
