Heya ~ I'm a 30 something non-binary transfem with a sapphic heart, here to share my art journey. Excited to be a part of this community! 💙
A little everyday~

Next month I want to try and buckle down and really start the art for my comic project.

Until then, more practice.

Working through the hard times~

I adore Sumiko Arai's art, and TGSWIIWAGAA. I just had to do a study of a couple panels~

Break down their work. Apply it to reference studies. Draw something new!

I can tell I'm making progress, just gotta work on actually finishing anything! So here's some abandoned wipe and a pose breakdown sheet~

Wow, it's been a hot minute! I've been busy on my comic project! But I did have a chance to play in a DnD one shot! So I drew my character while I was at the table~

I might do more later, but I just wanted to share something since it's been so long.

Not working for me :(

Found hard copies of Andrew Loomis' books! Everyone talks about them, and I can see why! A couple of fine additions to my *cough cough* collection ~~

From thumbnails, to roughs, to pencils. Tomorrow, ink, and digital clean up~

Weekend comic project ~

No tablet at the moment, so pencils instead ~

Have some of Lily!

Rose, floating in the void~

It's my page, I'll post abandoned WIPS if I want too <3

In a slump from last night, but still wanted to be creative, so Ive sewn my Derby name on my jacket ~
June 27, 2025 at 6:00 PM
How about more evening sketches ~

At the bottom of a recent mood swing I had convinced myself that I have, in fact, gotten worse at drawing than when I started.

This is of course, not true!

Gotta learn to be kind to yourself. I've only been at this for 7ish months.

I'm doing great~

So have a practice sheet.

Another color sketch of Lily~
June 18, 2025 at 3:42 AM
How about some some flat colors of my flowers~

Having a hard time bringing myself to finish anything, but I've been sketching and working on them at least!
June 13, 2025 at 4:43 PM
How about another sketches of Lily~

I'm having a really hard time being satisfied with my line work... Any advice for better quality lines?

Some character sketches of the two MCs of my comic project, Lily and Rose ~

I'm working on a newish comic project, so I've been doing a lot of sketching. So I don't have anything terribly interesting to share...

So how about an update on my work space~

I recently found @emiliodekure.bsky.social on YouTube. I dunno what it is about the way he explains things, or the simplifications just ring with me. But he's been a huge help with my figure drawing ~

Red pencils. Several artists and friends use them, and I figured colored pencils would do the trick! But no, now I know the true power of a proper red pencil~

I've been fighting some art block recently. So I dove into doing studies to work through it. But now I'm locked in on studies and I still can't work on my flower project... So here's a couple paint overs of the Asaro head I did as a lighting study.

If you see this, post something pink!

I tried a new exercise tonight, it was fun!

Find and draw from reference
Trace over the reference
Compare between the two and take notes

I know it's nothing ground breaking, but I feel even just a couple hours helped~
