After coming out of covid hermit status I got a fresh set to ring in valentines. I never do red or pink but it’s cute for the season ♥️ 💝🩷 #treatyoself

Yea, the can Siri I’ve the desert overnight so they’ll be ok! I do usually spoil my reptiles and get uv bulbs, they’re like 3x more expensive but it’s way closer to natural sunlight.

They like to have a decently warm basking spot, definitely go for a light that creates warmth other than just light. Check your fixture. There can be a wattage limitation

What kind of snake?

#bb-8 in my #watercolortattoo style bb-8 approves 👍 🔥

I love working with uv reactive pigments. Tanjiro from demon slayer. #demonslayer #animeart

My #thaiconstellation #monstera just threw a leaf with internal fenestrations #plantmom

While I’m stuck home sick*** paxlovid brain lol

While I’m stuck I’m house sick with covid I’m missing the museums of NY. Seeing starry night and other van goghs were definitely a highlight of 2024. We hit most of all the art museums there. Highly recommended . #art #vangogh

#watercolor tattoo done at my studio Femme Fatale Tattoos. Still wondering if I should make a business page here, I’d really like to wash my hands of meta buthow has everyone’s business experience been here so far? #tattoo #raleightattoostudio

Here’s three more flowers from my #genshinimpact artifact set. These are all done in colored pencil and gel pen.

Some #watercolortattoos I’ve done at my studio. My #tattoo style is flexible but I love doing #abstracttattoos #floraltattoos and anything #nerdy

Also, if you’re in the states Micheals sells prismacolor pencils and they usually have a good coupon online (20-30% off)

Also, upgrading to even the standard prisma colors will change the game for you. It’s very unfortunate how expensive some materials are.I found when I bought a small set of expensive pencils it will force you to blend and make colors and they lay on the paper so much better.

This shows how many colors I build up and how much saturation there is on the paper. Using some black fine liners for details can really help too

Ah ok! So i almost exclusively work in colored pencil and I have found that slight textured Bristol paper is very good. Also think layers and lots of them till you build up your tones. I use heavy Burnishing on my pieces to make them almost look painting.

What pencils/paper are you using

#genshin artifact flowers. I did a whole set of these with every element #art #genshinimpact #mihoyo

Welp. The Rona finally hit me. I had been feelin bad for a couple days so I decided to test. Maybe in my bed rotting I will work on some art. This shit is for the birdssssssss #help lol
