Don't downplay yourself.
I would say it is a pretty damn good wolf. :o

Just out of curiousity, how long did it take you to draw that?
No downplay here - it's honestly not the best.

It was on-and-off for about 3 days. If I had to guess, about 6 hours of work? There's a lot of fur.  :)

All I can say is if this isn't the best, I can't wait to see some of your best work!!! I love the eyes and how they really stand out, and it's snout looks so soft!

Hey hey!
I've done something :D

Okay, so I'm a pretty big fan of a Netflix series called Voltron: Legendary Defender. I don't care if it's a kids show it's amazing. Anyway, I got Sketchable Premium for Christmas and so have been working feverishly on my first ever piece of fanart, wherein my favourite non-speaking character, Kosmo the teleporting space wolf, stands majestically watching a meteor shower. And, here we have it!

the second half of the process because I forgot to take screenshots for the first bit whoops





final product!


YAAAAAY
Hope you all are having a good holiday! <3

Edit: Oh yeah! And thanks to Vaike for putting up with my spam throughout haha <3

Hello, friends! I did a long project all through the last days, and officially finished it with the new year. It's a lot of work - 45, 895 brush strokes in all. I've called this one The Migration.
Hopefully you enjoy the process and final product. :)

And that's it! Oh, and after my podcast I think it's about time to plug my shop:

Thanks, everyone <3 Love y'all, and happy new year!!

Hey, it's me again hahahaha

It's been a while. Sorry about that! But I think it's about time that I hopped back on the drawing horse and rode along for a while.

So, some crazy news - I am not going to university this year. Instead, I've decided to go with the things that make me happy and get me money and independence, including a real job (not just casual work at a fish and chip shop), plans to move out of home and an art internship. Yep, I'm now hanging out with a bunch of 30 year-old men with ADHD who enjoy Star Wars more than the average person and who can draw, like really, really well. And who draw for a living.

It's pretty awesome that they have taken me in, and I feel super blessed to be a part of the illustration and animation family. The only issue here is, I've been really ill and unable to go to the internship, and my teacher just had a baby. So... Setbacks have happened. However, I was given a few tips and books and things to use, and my teacher has told me to draw. Every single day. Consciously practicing and refining my technique and learning new things. So I've decided to pick this thread up again and see what I can do.

Today wasn't practice - I'm totally exhausted and my mind won't work properly if I try to work on my anatomical studies - but I have done a quick doodle and recorded it for y'all. So here's the first day of my (short and practically insignificant) efforts:

(sorry about the angle, my desk doesn't have a camera setup haha)

That's me signing off for the day. Don't hesitate to post on this thread with questions or art requests! I can't come up with daily ideas on my own and it'd be great to have community involvement in filling up my drawing journal.

Love you all! I'm gonna go sleep now haha ❤️💜💙💜❤️

Love being able to watch the video :)

Any chance some water-inspired artwork could be heading our way?

That is a pretty cool time-lapse video! ^-^

If you're stuck for an idea, how about something sky-based? :)

How about drawing a forest, but with some mythical animals and/or plants to switch things up a bit?

As in different pens/tablets/pencils/paints, etc.? I like them but I am poor 😞

could be! Drawing water is actually quite difficult so I might give it a crack at some point! :)

Haha thanks, my room is so messy so I'm glad I managed to not record that bit D:

Ooh, could do. I've been thinking of experimenting with the Aurora Borealis for a little while.

How about drawing a forest, but with some mythical animals and/or plants to switch things up a bit?
oh yes! I might just basically end up plagiarising Patronuses but it's a good idea.

Thanks guys! I'm writing them all down as we speak.

Wow, an unexpected stumble from the Linguistics student  :P

I do indeed. It would be pretty damn amazing to illustrate a book or design for a company. It's less of a "check it out that's MY influence" but more of a "hey, I managed to successfully make people happy by conveying what they saught for". This is a personal fulfillment but it's also just constantly proving to myself that I can get out there and DO things haha. If I didn't need money I would never charge.

Day 2 already! Today I was feeling up for a little lesson, so I decided to share it with you guys. I'm currently learning about the "planes of the head" which is the theory of being able to create the form of a human head by putting together and manipulating basic shapes. I videoed my process for you guys and I think I'll continue to create videos of my work as I learn. Maybe not every day but certainly whenever I can.


I'm meant to be able to memorise these... Eeek! Wish me luck! I'll get to any suggestions in the next few days. :)

PS: I wear the onesie with zero shame.

This one is pretty bad, sorry guys. Definitely dodgy and I'm too tired to fill out the hair... Haven't been feeling well today but I tried. Take a guess at who this is haha



Anyway, that's day 3 :) I don't know why I'm keeping track if this is gonna be going for like the rest of the year but there you go!

(ps: he was gonna be a dragon guy with slitted pupils and that would have made him look angry but then he now has rounded pupils and he just looks slightly confused to me now. Ergh I sort of hate putting this up but I guess it's accountability 😐
