Whoever suggested the Fenty Beauty website as a way to get good ref for different skin tones, thank you 🙏

Didn’t fully nail it, but it was just so fun to practice portraits again.

Watercolor Pigeon

I attempted to paint like a human risograph printer by putting down a layer of yellow, a layer of magenta, cyan, and then black. It was a fun way to do it!

Trying painting again after only doing digital painting for years. This feels like the artist equivalent to touching grass. Mixing colors feels like magic.
5 tubes of watercolor paint including: Chinese white, ivory black, magenta, turquoise, and lemon yellow.

A four panel comic about the word "sexy." Panel 1: A goat character thinks, "Before I discovered I was asexual, I had a flawed understanding of the word sexy..." Panel 2: A cute girl's face and a pretty blonde woman are drawn. It says, "I thought cute was 'soft pretty', 'pretty' was neutral, Panel 3: a woman with sharp features is drawn. It says "and 'sexy' was 'sharp pretty'. Panel 4: It shows the same faces on a spectrum from cute to sexy. It says "Where do you fall on the soft to sharp spectrum?"

This is Archbishop Aradia. She loves to torment (playfully) the nuns and torment (brutally) the other men of the church.

No one warns you about how fun it is to draw the Chiikawa characters. As far as I know, there is no goat character so I added one. I guess I'll find out once the whole manga set is delivered next week...

Illustration of 3 characters from the Chiikawa manga: Kurimanju, Chiikawa and the rabbit. There is one original character in the Chiikawa style: a bluish goat.

As happy as I generally am with my art, I do wish I was better at drawing horror. This unsettling angel is about as close as it gets.

#art
Biblically accurate type of angel with 3 sets of lavendar wings. Red eyes are randomly scattered over the wings. The background is pinkish red with a splotchy watercolor effect
