Here is the recorded timelapse. I like CSP's recording because Krita's recording involves a folder with lots of JPEGs or PNGs. As you can see, I was experimenting.

Fan art of Elizabeth from the web comic "Inside" by @duchesscelestia.bsky.social
I wanted to try adding elements of 90s anime to my work and I really like it a lot.
You can check out the webcomic right here (www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/in...).

WIP in Clip Studio Paint
I really like CSP. I’ll be using it more often but I won’t leave my precious Krita.

I updated the art. Now Swann has her acne scars like I should've added in the first place, and brightened the camellia and spider lily in her hair.

My current work in progress. Just need to add shading, lighting and possible other effects. This is what I mean by different face syndrome, she doesn’t look like my other drawing of Swann. At least, I know what to practice later on.

Here's the timelapse of me drawing Swann's face. If you happen to notice any mistakes, trust me, I know. I got too excited and posted it right away without checking carefully enough. Still, I like it.

Here is a drawing of how Swann may look like. Maybe I'll keep it like this, maybe I'll change it. I'm happy with it right now.
Time: 3 hours and 52 minutes (I was trying to make her face heart-shaped without it being too long and narrow and keep er other portraits consistent.)

Relearning Art While Having Fun - Piece #1
It's been a little too long since I did a drawing, so I will be relearning by studying the fundamentals and training myself to observe. I didn't really do that in the past, but better now than never.

Hello! I’ve been playing around with watercolours lately and I’m proud of this one. How has your September been?
By the way, I tried to scan it and it looks terrible, so I just took a picture of it.

I'm practicing to regain my skills from my long break. Starting with head anatomy. After that, I drew my OC, Minerva "Minnie". I like strong contrast in my art. I never had concept art of Minnie, so I might get to it.

My art of @duchesscelestia.bsky.social after a long break from drawing and getting back into it, and trying not to care too much about perfection. Still trying to understand more of the Persona 5 art style.
Which background colour do you like? The blue or the Persona 5 red that burns your eyes?

Check out this new Sampo wallpaper I made for my phone! I tried to do the Persona 5 art style but used more greys and tried to let myself be a bit messy.

Feels good to get back into art after a long while.
Verna Edwards, the Dark Witch and Prodigal Knight in my potential comic. This is the first version of her, so I may try different iterations. I like this style solely for how quick it is for me to finish. I'll polish up on the style eventually.
