I am a traditional artist who loves animals and fantasy. I'm selective yet passionate about what I enjoy in movies,anime, video games, but fantasy almost always wins. I like working in pastels and charcoal.
A very merry Christmas to all! I drew this just today. Reindeer are such beautiful animals.

My drawing of Frieren looking up. Not perfect but this was a hard angle to draw. Still, she turned out pretty anyway!

Basic cat sketches for practice. I find cats challenging so simplifying is my best option. Cats are so wonderful though, so one day, I'll get the hang of it.

As a fan of the Sonic games I had to do one of Shadow. This piece was done in pastels and turned out fantastic!

I'm practicing Force gesture drawing and I really liked the original art by Dalrek Davis. I used charcoal and it ended up being really fun.

I love how this one turned out! It's medium is pan pastels and colored pencil. I sketched lions in preparation and was inspired by Aaron blaise`s art for the finished piece. It took a while but was so worth it.

Chameleons are such cool reptiles. They were fun to draw but also a bit tricky.

This art was both very challenging and very enjoyable to work on with the end results turning out beautiful! The piece is up for sale. I used pastels and colored pencil and I am so happy with how it turned out especially since I was so nervous, I put off working on it for some time.

A series of drawings I did for practice. I believe most I found on pintrest, but it was an interesting experience.

This is an art piece I put up for sale. It was done in charcoal pencil with a touch of pastel to highlight her hair, which I think turned out really nice!

I was following an artist (draw with javi) for the first two portraits then ,inspired ,I found photos on Google to practice the rest. They turned out so good! I was so pleased with how precise the brush pen was and I managed to draw these without a sketch first which is my first successful attempt!

Various drawings I found on pintrest and the like that I drew for practice. Sadly I don't know the original artists, but this was done in charcoal and I personally think they turned out quite good.

Another pastel piece following Kimberly 80s work. The misty background was interesting in pastels as was all the blue tones. She is Luthien from the Silmarillion.

I was practicing both pastels and portraits with this one. An elf by artist Kimberly 80. I believe he is Feanor from the Silmarillion.

The original artist did such a fantastic job with Fern that I attempted my own but with gouache and pastels. It turned out so good and was fun besides.
