Unfinished static shock drawing in pencil

Haven't had an motivation to draw so here's an unfinished static shock drawing since I couldn't figure out his hair. #drawing #unfinished #artishard #art #pencil #whenwillDCcareavoutstaticshockagainlol

Gave up on this, didn't have a plan going into it either so I'm not terribly bummed about it ¯\_( ツ)_/¯ but here's something awful of my webfishing dude
I'm really digging krita though having a lot of fun with all the new tools and stuff.

A value study from last week. Kind of failed it badly, strayed way to much from the reference, which wasn't a good choice for the particular study in general, yet learned a lot from the experience in the end #artishard 🙃 #humanmadeart #artistsonbsky #artsky

Misjudged how the ears would fit- now im having to repaint the patterning and cut up the ear to fit it.

Admittedly beginers mistakes, this is my first cotton sculpt like thing...

can't stop doodling and jumping from one WIP project to another 🙈 #ArtIsHard #humanmadeart #OCs

Of all the mediums, pencil gives the best, easiest and fastest results for me. I really need to embrace it and start working from pencil to whatever, but blank paper give me so much anxiety 🙈 #ArtIsHard

I swear my ocs are still being drawn! With work, brain rot, & being a little slow with drawing like at least 4 open drawings & editing backstories for 2 of them, they should be coming soon!

The OCs in question:

Itzel of Natlan (Genshin OC)
Thana of Spook Shack (ZZZ OC)
Maye (Obey Me OC)

It's so hard to "re-learn" a style that you were told over and over ago (years ago) - wasn't good nor fit for professional work. Art skill regression is real. Especially when you want to improve.

I have restarted coloring twice now going on thrice. Why is art so hard?

FINALLY finished @strangeauthor.bsky.social's commission! All her characters are hers, now i can finally take a ten minute nap.

Time out

A girl in a short cami, riding up exposing her tummy. She's showing a peace sign, waiting green and yellow plaid pants and a blonde afro covers her eyes.

Me when I remember I'm the only source for content of my #OC

Her name is Mina BTW. (she's based on a sheep but I can't draw furry art yet so you only see her fully humanise version for now)

Sigh. The small #pico8 grid is great when you want simple but even when you want just +1 above simple, it's...tough. I like the girl better than the very square farmer guy but, well, it's what I got given the 8x16 limit. Unless someone cares to donate some art? :) #pixelart #gamedev #artishard

I love seeing how game assets progress from concept to completion. So behold: the game master’s desk I made for Inkshade! Terrible doodles, a pre-alpha model, and a final asset I’d describe as “passable”.

Digital fanart of Moiraine and Siuan from The Wheel of Time. Moiraine, in a dark blue gown and jeweled headpiece, stands slightly behind with a subtle, knowing smirk. In front, Siuan wears ornate gold robes and jeweled hairpieces, pressing a cloth to her face as she wipes away bright lipstick marks scattered across her skin, the clear handiwork of Moiraine herself. The scene is not serious okay.

Trying out the oils again (Ittai Manero brushes are awesome!) liking it okay so far. I really admire artists who go in with bold strokes, I’ve got so much to learn still.

making another #ResidentEvil2Remake trinket dish. this one I plan on listing. but I am currently agonizing over if I want the goddess statue in the center or off to the side of the background. #Artishard

So, apparently #terriblecomicday is a thing! Here's my attempt

Ever feel that wave of inadequacy when impatience hits? 🌊 Definitely wrestled with that this week. I just have to remind myself that everyone goes through this.

It’s easy to question the path when things feel overwhelming and time-consuming, especially when you are trying to be creative. Had a lot of those moments this week. But underneath all the doubt, the "why" I'm doing this remains strong. #ArtStruggle #ArtisHard #ArtJourney #LearningArt

a pixelated image of a person with a red shirt Alt: a pixelated image of a person with a red shirt

I have just discovered the painful error of creating something at less than 4000 pixels & 300 dpi…

I basically just drew a masterpiece on a matchbox & tried to create a t shirt with it…

Ouch.

I lost sleep last night trying to fix my OC Mike for maybe the 10th time. I have re-lined this specific image no less than 4 times. This time I redrew it on a bigger canvas. I wish that I wasn’t struggling soo much with things I used to be good at like noses and eyes #myocs #kyerlettepike #artishard

That feel when you pickup an artwork that just needed to be finished and instead you redo all the linework so it isn’t thick and heavy and by that I mean I redrew him completely lmao #myocs #kyerlettepike #artishard

I deleted my other post because lord I just hated those Max’s too much. This one I like better. Took me two hours to redraw his hair his eyes his expression. I’m soo tired lmao #ocart #kyerlettepike #artishard

Weird quirky add-ons shouldn't be this hard and yet...how in the heck is there not a single good reference for it!!!!

Some more face shading practice. Boy am I bad at it. It’s been pretty frustrating trying to figure it out hopefully I have it in me somewhere.

My Art.. it doesn't seem to be enough... #artishard #disappointed #brokendreams

I feel like I’m struggling. Like I’m not strong enough to see whatever I make through to the end. Does anyone else ever feel that way? #art #creative #hesitancy #idkmaybeineedvalidation
