Seven different sketches of various people from the neck/shoulders up. The two on the bottom right are studies from photographs of real people. The rest are OCs and random freehand doodles using no references.

Oh, here’s another fun thing I drew a few years ago. #digitalart #dndart
A girl with loose, curly brown hair and doe-like eyes looks over at the viewer, clutching a branch with leaves in her hand. She has a crown of leaves in her hair and various plants and flowers surround her. She is wearing a muted green and gray dress with poofy/draped sleeves and gold details.

Here’s some of the half-assery I’m talking about. My more recent art is a mess that I didn’t even enjoy making— it’s me trying to hold onto vague concepts that worked before, detailing specific things while avoiding the bigger picture, or just flat out giving up. Let’s use these as a baseline. (2/3)
A sketch of a man with overgrown, wild-looking hair, purple sunglasses, a purple flower in his hair, and a collared shirt with purple flowers on it. He’s smiling. A sketch of a girl dressed in white and gold, her hair long, dark, and flowing. Her eyes are black and tired as she stares towards the viewer, her hand on one side of her face. Her hand is covered in black forming claws at her finger tips, a gold halo-like glow around her head. A sketch of just the head of a man with a smirking, cocky expression. His hair is flippy and wolf-like. There is space for a body below his floating head, but it seems the artist didn’t care to draw one.

Let’s begin with a look at some of my old art. These were pieces I made years ago. I enjoyed drawing them back then and I still enjoy looking at them today. Nowadays, drawing feels more like a chore than a fun hobby. I can only make it past a half-assed sketch if I force myself to. (1/3)
A tiefling man facing to the right looks sidelong at the viewer. His hair and claws are black and oil-like, sticky threads of fluid hanging between them. He is crying tears of a similar color. His horns are a grayish-purple and are adorned with gold details. A drow woman with short white hair stares down and to the right side. Her hand partially covers one eye, and her fingertips are tinted a dark red. A woman with short and flowing black hair stands facing the viewer with her arms slightly raised and her palms facing up. Both of her hands are covered in a black, tar-like substance, her fingertips sharp like claws. Black veins run under her skin up her arms and down her legs. Behind her floats a tar-like creature with many golden, viper-slitted eyes that stare at the woman and the viewer. Around her head is a golden, halo-like aura. Black stains are splattered across her white blouse, a cross-body bag hanging at her side. She smiles at the viewer as if she is looking down on them. Two people face each other. A man on the right gently cups his large hand around a woman’s jaw on the left, looking down into her eyes as if he is about to kiss her. He is smirking, two scars tracing down from his only visible eye, a milky gray compared to her pitch black. Both of them have dark, messy hair, and the woman appears to be either tired or dazed. The man has a bit of stubble on his chin. They both seem to be shirtless, but the image is cropped near their shoulders, leaving most to the imagination.
