I FINALLY got my Ko-Fi page to a place where I feel like I can advertise it. I currently don't have as much art there as I have on here, but I am going to update it with my current art. I would really appreciate it if you could share this, and any tips you give me would me a lot!

Hi, I am fluxxxxx!

I'm a hobbyist artist that likes to paint the sky with watercolors and experiment with different other topics.
Currently I'm learning to draw animals. I'm a software dev, but this account is purely for my art.
I also do giveaways from time to time

QRP to reintroduce yourself :)

Hi I'm Ackernym, I'm a watercolor artist and also a digital artist...a generalist really lol. I work on everything from fanart to watercolor landscapes, you name it!
A watercolor painting of two trees and two lampposts at sunset. The trees look kind of like an oil slick with several primary colors showing through at various points. There is a fence in the background and the sky graduates from blue to pink, kind of like trix yogurt A loose watercolor Painting of Marina from the Splatoon series! She's wearing her outfit from the Octo Expansion DLC in Splatoon 2 A watercolor self portrait. I am looking to the right and wearing a light blue t shirt. Behind me is an abstract indigo and dark red shape A watercolor painting of Samus and Ridley from the Metroid Series. Samus is wearing her Phazon suit and pointing her arm cannon to the right, Ridley is behind her and holding his claw up as if he is about to swipe down. There are a couple metroid babies to the left and right of Samus and Ridley.

I dunno who wants to hear any of my art advice, but if anyone does, fire away! I love explaining things lol

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.
White text on a blue background, a yellow pencil, and a black blot of spilled ink. The text says “share if you welcome artistic questions”.

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.
A pencil drawing of a woman reclining in bed, but her hands look kind of fucked up, and her face has been scribbled out, apparently in frustration by the artist

Just got a new mechanical pencil and I decided to test it out with a quick sketch!

#art #sketch
A very quick pencil sketch of a person looking slightly down towards the viewer. The background is mostly diagonal pencil lines above the figure's head and then it switches to vertical lines below. The figure is wearing the outline of some sort of poncho.

I don't vibe code, I vibe drive. I know generally where I am and generally where I'm located but everything in between is just me making turned based on, "well I think I've been here before, and turning here seems to trigger something in my muscle memory" turns every drive into an adventure!

A pencil drawing/study of @beatricepirate.bsky.social I've liked her music for a long time, and I've wanted to do a drawing of her for a while now as well. She just released a new album, Cavale, which you should check out!

A pencil drawing/study of the musician Beatrice Martin. She's clasping her hands together. All the pencil lines are vertically hatched. A zoomed out view of the same pencil drawing as the previous image so you can see the pencil I used as well as the entire wirebound sketchbook sitting on a table.

Alpenglow

#watercolor #art #traditionalart #painting
A loose watercolor painting of a mountain at dusk/dawn that is experiencing the phenomena known as Alpenglow. When the mountain gets hit by the sun at the correct angle it seems to glow with a red orange light.

Hello, #PortfolioDay!

I’m Iga and I’m an artist based in Scotland. I specialise in character artwork and love to play with texture.

Open for commissions and freelance work! Feel free to reach out directly, as I’m in the process of updating my website.

A selection of nine portraits - mostly commissioned by various clients as well as two personal pieces. They’re all done digitally in painterly style with visible brushstrokes and deep colours. There are vampires, vieras, elves, lizards, dragons and other humanoid but ethereal creatures. Two painted book cover illustrations side by side, both showing a pale blond man and a brown-haired woman. The one on the left shows the figures lying down on the dark ground as they gaze longingly at one another. The one on the right has the man holding the woman in a dramatic pose as she awakens to her vampiric powers. Illustrations commissioned by Cat Rector for her novels: Coal Gets In Your Veins and Learning to Bleed. Two watercolour portraits displaying loose brushwork. On the left - Maelle from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a young girl with red hair in a ponytail. On the right - a woman with dark hair and flushed cheeks.
