@Dunquixote of course!! I’m so glad you like it and thank you so much for the generous tip definitely more than enough and not a necessity so I really appreciate it! I would love it if you could tag me in your island journal post too so I can have a read of it

@xara you are so sweet!! I’m so glad you like it I love love love drawing your island rep so please just let me know if you’d like anymore drawings of her Thank you for letting me draw her!!

Wahhhhhh gorgeous artworks as always ❤❤ They inspire me to draw more haha I love the style you’re working on
Consider https://toyhou.se/634874.aiko-fujikawa/gallery or https://toyhou.se/1212562.mayumi-tanaka/gallery ? Thank you!


Also I caved in and got an iPad to use procreate on I’ve been trying to get used to it but the brushes and feeling is so different compared to paint tool sai so it’s taking a while

thank you so much!! I decided to draw Aiko although in the future I’d also like to draw mayumi so will tag you in a seperate post once I’ve finished that! Here you go - I hope you like it so much fun to draw!

also that is SO exciting! My iPad is my most prized possession and I use it every day, I absolutely love drawing on it! It does take some adjusting to especially when you’ve been used to drawing on a PC for so long but you’ll pick it up with practice! If there’s anything I can help with just PM me

Hahahha, I could be following totally different people downstream, but off the top of my head, your art reminds me of:

Muzenik_'s paint and blend style

Sorry I totally forgot to reply to this haha!
I LOVE asayris & LoisVB but I haven’t actually heard of the rest of them! Adding them to my following list though because they are definitely my cup of tea. I must be subconsciously inspired by their artwork as I’m not actively trying to copy their styles?? I love button noses and they’re one of the parts of the face I struggle getting right but these artists always make them look so pretty ; w;
Some of my favourite artists are:

I really like the brush linked on teyoid’s page (Instagram) and it’s the one I use most often, but some of my favourite basic brushes are the round brush and the pencil brush

Seen everybody drawing this Hisuian cutie and I wanted to join in I’m so tempted to buy pokemon legends: arceus when it’s released but honestly I don’t know if I’ll play it enough to warrant the price. Will you be playing it?

Aww this is so cute! I’d loved the look of this in the trailer but you’ve managed to make it even more adorable I’ll definitely be looking to add him to my team when I get the game

Also all your artwork of everyone’s OCs is amazing, you’ve created so many brilliant pieces

Thank you so much Jem! You’ll have to let me know what the game is like when you get it - I’m still on the fence about whether it’s worth it or not but I really do like the open world aspect!

day off from work today and I’ve had a bit of artblock so scoured Pinterest for some inspo and wound up drawing this:

this was done (almost) entirely on one layer (not including the sketch and highlights/overlay effect) and I’m super proud of how the shading on the skin turned out. I’m sure it probably needs tweaks but I feel a lot more confident actually “painting” as opposed to doing layer upon layer. It really engages your problem solving side as you can’t just undo something and any mistakes need to be blended into the piece let me know your thoughts/critiques!

dumping some stuff I drew over the past couple days ~

this is the first time I’ve attempted a landscape image so it’s far from perfect, tbh I got a new set of brushes and wanted to try them out! They’re amazing and will hopefully make drawing backgrounds so much easier for me in the future (once I’ve been brave enough to attempt them lol)

Thank you both so much It means so much to me!!

I’ve been browsing toyhouse which has inspired me to draw more lately, here is a character I drew today it took me so long but I’m quite happy with how it turned out. My aim is to draw these faster and more accurately (at the minute I find it hard to shade/highlight the face without lots and lots of layers/blending). I love authentic brush strokes and contrasts but have always shied away from them. BUT saying that I feel like my facial proportions are improving (will attach pic below recent art from Aug last year for comparison! I can confidently add more depth/detail now )

another art piece I worked on with some tips from Ericanthonyj on YouTube

Another study today, focused on shapes for the sketch which made it so much easier to align the facial features (although some definitely still need tweaking!) also gave me another chance to practice my painting technique & shading on the skin which I’m relatively happy with
