Colored the last pic on this sheet :3
A clipboard holding a large piece of paper. On the paper are colored drawings of Burl and Ilana Ruxpin, one with Ilana running to Burl and another where she is jumping into his arms. Also on the paper is a drawing of Grubby the Octopede. A close-up of the drawing of Burl and Ilana Ruxpin with Ilana jumping into Burl's arms. The drawing has been shaded with a pale purple marker but is otherwise uncolored. A close-up of the drawing of Burl and Ilana Ruxpin with Ilana jumping into Burl's arms. The image is now in full, shaded color with markers and pencils.

Trying to take photos of paper is really annoying but I don't have room for a scanner.
A traditionally drawn and colored drawing of Teddy Ruxpin balancing on a cannon ball that says "RETURN TO TWEEG" on it. The cannon ball is surrounded by grass.

This is the closest thing to scenery I've tried so far. I really have nooo idea what I'm doing. Wish me luck as I try to colorize my entire comic project this way 😵‍💫

I've been practicing with traditional medias! I have no idea what I'm doingggg.

I want to be able to do scenery and stuff too, and actually sketch on paper again, but honestly I'm not sure how or where to begin anymore.

microns, Blick studio markers, and Prismacolor pencils, mostly on card stock.

Took a break from comic work today.
A colored digital illustration of Burl Ruxpin, Teddy Ruxpin's father. He is a bear-like person, or "illiop". He is wearing robes and a satchel, and he is carrying a pack on his back full of plants of some kind. He is turned to the left but is waving and smiling towards us.

If you see this, post a flower!!

Oh hey, I can actually do this one.
Two bear-like people standing face to face, one wearing a purple dress and the other wearing tattered brown robes. The one in the purple dress looks happily shocked at the other one, gently touching his face. The one in brown is holding a small bouquet of yellow and pink flowers with orange centers.

Two sketches of Burl Ruxpin's head, coloured in warm browns. He looks angry in one sketch at a profile angle, and a pensive 3/4s angle in the other.

random ilaine drawing from a while ago
A chubby bear woman with teal eyes and long wavy brown hair. She's wearing an orange dress with yellow trim and a brown belt. The image cuts off just above her knees so her legs are not visible.

A scruffy and elderly looking anthropomorphic bear wearing a brown hooded robe. He has long, white hair and thick eyebrows and a shaggy muzzle. He's looking over his shoulder at the viewer with sad, lost eyes that are a warm reddish brown.

A portrait of my mom's little dog, Bear. He passed away a month ago, but yesterday was his 13th birthday. We love you, Bear-Bear. We mourn the loss of you every day.
A drawing of a small black dog with white toes, a white spot on his chest, and white on the tip of his muzzle.

"Burl! I can't believe it! Is it you? Is it REALLY you...?"
Two illiops (semi-bearlike people) facing each other. The female on the left has greying red hair and brown fur, very wide and surprised teary eyes, and a small smile, wearing a very purple and very frilly dress. She is gently touching the face of the male on the right, who has pale fur and white hair and a scruffy muzzle. He is wearing a glorified potato sack of a patched up robe and a green undershirt, and he is holding a little bouquet of small yellow and pink flowers.

Before you are two bear people, male and female. The male is wearing a brown cloak, green sleeves, and a medieval style backpack. He is holding a stick or staff in one hand and a canteen in the other. The female is wearing a mid-blue and light blue dress and has shoulder-length red hair and glasses. Next to the bear people are reference photos for their outfits. A female bear person with shoulder-length red hair, glasses, and a dark blue and light blue dress. She is looking to the sky wondering where her husband is. A single tear is running down her cheek. A male bear person is leaning against a door frame. He has grey hair and pale fur and is wearing a green shirt with a darker green vest over top that has brown trim and gold buttons, and brown trousers. Before you are two bear people, one male and one female. They have grey hair and one is significantly paler than the other. The male is wearing a green shirt with a darker green vest that has brown trim over top. The female is wearing a blue dress. They are looking at a book together. The book has a big pink and yellow flower on the cover, and is titled "Plants of Rillonia".
