Studying has kept me so busy, and then we moved, so I kinda forgot to make art for 2 months ;;

But doing a little painting tonight 💕
The watercolour paper is really nice quality, but I'm not a fan of how textured it is ahsjhsjdjd

Haven't been drawing much last few days because I've been studying so much, but I started some embroidery bits so I can decorate the future apartment with them :3

Got some shrink plastic last Saturday to try make some charms and keyrings with :3 ✨️

Sadly it wasn't pre-frosted like the ones I'm used to, and even though I sanded it myself it isn't taking pencil like I'd hoped 😭 Soooo~ I'm having a go with acrylic markers instead 💕
Shrink plastic with two acrylic marker drawings. One of a coloured clown bear, and one of a cat in the 'autism creature' pose.

Five stickers: two are two different sizes of the same fish-shaped soy sauce bottle; one is a green alien cat against a round starry pastel green background; one is a cream cat against gingko leaves and an orange border; the last is a cream unicorn against oak leaves with a brown border.

oak leaves and a medieval unicorn, because it's autumn now and earthy colour palettes are bringing me joy 🧡

i love the cryptid like unicorns that are somewhere between horse, deer and dog. i just wish the anatomy wasn't so tricky aksjdlaks

#art #illustration
A pale medieval inspired unicorn, with anatomy somewhere between a horse, deer and greyhound, rearing up on it's hindlegs. It has pink hooves and a pink horn, and a long thin tail that bushes out in white fur at the end. It's hooves have tufts of white fur, and it's long main is white. Behind it, on a brown background, is an arrangement of green oak leaves.

Finished a sketchbook for the first time in over a decade. It's been fun to just doodle and sketch for fun~
