Watercolour on paper. (The lines are made with marker, additionally there's a bit of coloured pencil detailing on top of the watercolour) #traditionalart #watercolourpainting #colourfulart #fineliner #lineart #colouredpencils #art #drawing #illustration #painting 💚

'Cozy gaming' #digitalpainting #digitalart #drawing #art #illustration #gamergirl #cozygaming #cute #snacks #cozy

Digital drawing of a girl sitting on the ground playing video games. On the ground next to her there is a plate of pink snacks and two cans of strawberry milk. Nearby a pink bunny plush is also sitting on the ground, holding a can of strawberry milk. The bed behind the girl has a blanket on it with a flowery pattern. Her shirt has a print on it depicting a dove in the sky in front of a rainbow. The shirt reads: PSALM 139.

#illustration #digitalpainting #art #tulips #blackcat #drawing #colourfulart #Romans8:38-39

Digital painting of a woman facing forward. She has pale skin, dark hair and dark eyes. She has a hollow expression on her face. She is wearing a red top with a fluffy white cape on top of it. On her right shoulder there is a black cat with yellow eyes and a big grin. The cat appears to be skating. In front of her chest, to the left side, are 3 tulips. Behind her is written: Romans 8:38.

Pondering #digitalpainting #art #illustration #stainedglass #space #plants #drawing

Digital painting of a dark room with a stained glass window. In front of the window, a man is sitting on a bed, leaning against the window, looking outside into space, with floating cities. He is being grown in by plants as if he has been sitting there for a long time.

"Guidance" - Make sure you follow the right voice.
#digitalpainting #illustration #art #drawing #intuition #smile

Digital painting of a person with bright red hair and purple eyes, wearing a purple sweater. They look dazed with a creepily wide, thin smile. They're trying to listen to their intuition but being misguided by forces beyond (depicted as a greenish blue face with a wicked expression whispering to them and greenish blue hands guiding them to the right).

An illustration of a slightly beat-up looking white cat with huge, watery angry eyes. They have a couple of bandages on them, one placed over a pink heart marking on their chest, and are in a defensive pose. Around them it says “things are tough, but so are you.”

I got sick before Christmas, and only now gotten better enough to draw again. With that said, happy new year everyone! #spirit #tea #ghost #digitalart #illustration #smile

Overthinking #illustration #digitalpainting #art #drawing #spirits #eyes

Digital illustration of a person sitting outside, on the ground, on a mattress, next to a vending machine. He is burdened by negative thoughts and doesn't notice the tiny light spirits trying to cheer him up.

Reminder- using reference for art is NOT cheating. Depending on what type of artist you are, you should absolutely be using it. All highly skilled pro artists I know use it.

Art isn't a party trick, we don't have to be in the business of impressing ppl with the process. Don't hold yourself back.
