Pencil sketch of a young woman wearing segmented sci-fi armor, drawn on paper. She has glasses, a high ponytail, and a neutral expression. The armor is built from layered plates over the torso, shoulders, and arms, with visible construction lines and clean shapes.

Tried something different instead of my usual soft stuff...Metal rather than fabric.

Might explore this more.
Last chance to draw for a bit 😭— wanted to make a mark 🙂

Thank you ^^

Thanks ^^

Aw, that's really sweet. Genuinely happy for her! The world can be a pretty bad place for us, but it sounds like she's blooming with a great support network and a passion to keep the spirit alive :)

Haha, thank you! I try to keep it approachable and brain-pleasing — I hope she keeps that creative fire burning bright :)

Thank you :) Appreciated!

Thank you so much ✨️

The one layer player did a thing! :D

👀

Hahaha don't tempt me into trying it :P It was....well, it was a *very* late night sketch at the end of a *long* day, doomed from the start haha - but thank you! That's the goal ^^ keep on keepin' on :)

Mucho thankies to you 💖

Haha yeahhhhh, still a mountain of progress to be made 🤭 lots to see (and thank you!)

Recently learned about water pencils, they look super intriguing but also terrifying haha. Might stick to colouring "in post" digitally for a while...like a true coward haha

Thank you 😊

Ahhhhhhhh, that makes sense! Thubbing as it will forever be known in my brain now 😂

Thank you 😁

Haha to be fair, can relate to that 😅 but it's a lovely sketch you did! Very envious of your pencil shading haha

Absolutely love the colour job here 😍 great work!

Some recent sketches that didn’t make the final cut.

Experiments, a few dead ends...lessons learned ✨️

Thank you! 😊

Hahaha I can't stop chuckling at your energy, I ✨️ LOVE IT ✨️

Haha thank you so much, I needed that right now 😂 (just had a scuffle with thieves at work) it's a nice reminder that there's good energy out there among the bad haha

Haha thank you so much! I love your positive energy ✨️ 🌈

You're not wrong, and put the ethereal feeling into words very well ✨️ 😁

I will name the piece "Shades of mild annoyance" in tribute to you 😉🤣🤣🤣

Gosh darn it now I want to scribble something but I've got a fun 10 hour shift at work starting in an hour 😭 maybe a cheeky doodle in the canteen later which you can take full responsibility for 🤭

Yeahhhh...wacoms are pretty solid tbf, although my ancient one is starting to show its age a bit 🥲 gotta side with your wife though, Clip studio for life haha, use it for the digital side and my terrible attempts at animating 😅 but hey if procreate works for you, more power to ya ✨️ 😊

Oh god yeah, I remember those. I think with the advent of tablets though most people these days do tend to use on-screen methods...I remember buying my cintiq way back when with my first paycheck lol, it does solve the disconnect *a bit* but....still doesn't beat a physical canvas haha

Always get inspired watching old episodes of him <3

To quote Bob Ross, "We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents" :P

Precisely ^^ gotta stay positive! (I say this, while also looking at the 'failures' and muttering many negative things about them :P)
