Early doodles of weapons from Might and Magic: World of Xeen. (Yes, these are actual weapons, strength-wise they are rank two or three out of five. I'm replaying the game and I've had all of these at least once.)

Added some white gel pen, it seems to have helped a bit.

Four cups in alcohol markers (and a bit of manual post-processing, done in Paint, to hide some spots that seem to be coming from my scanner.) Still learning the medium, so there are some streaks... I might try to touch it up with the markers again?

I felt like drawing an opossum and also trying a palette challenge. It might not have worked well together, but I still think it's a cute little critter.

Month 2: Lineless.
I looked at a lot of nebula photos, then freehand-painted a picture based on that.
Acrylic markers over watercolor.

Baroouse giving his favorite knight a little kiss (and yes, he fully expect to give more kisses once the armor is off. 😘 ) From a challenge by an artist I follow on another site. I'm trying to decide if I want to go further down or just crop it and be done.

Drawing some wisteria, my favorite flower. I was going to use ink and alcohol markers, but I drew it on the back of a page, so that'll be the next one. Used Arrtx acrylic markers on this one.

A lot of people are posting comparisons between their ten-year-old art and today's art.
The only thing I can say is, don't put your old art down. It was the best you could do at the time, and there are going to be people out there who will look to your art as inspiration.

Practicing alcohol markers a bit with printed color pages, when my hand hurts too much to use pencil/pen. Still looking a bit streaky even when trying to correct with colored pencils, but I'll get there.
I think this was one I got from @sarahrenaeclark.bsky.social !

Not a great picture of this doodle, but I think I'm getting better with blending alcohol markers.
(Ignore the cloudy bit around her chin, I drew this on scrap paper to test new skin-tone markers.)

Older art - pet portraits I did for family, when I was in an art class and working with charcoal. (I like charcoal, I liked the effects I could get with it. I didn't love how messy it was, but that kind of comes with it.)

I'm a hobbyist artist who's somehow managed to struggle through a 9-to-5 with ADHD, so I don't know if I count, but I'll definitely follow. :)

Attempted a background study for an image by @sambestock.bsky.social with some generic watercolors for practice.
Perspective? What's that?

Same materials, different paper (this was a marker pad that I'm still trying to decide if I like or not, still lots of bleed but blending is slightly easier.) Another tulip, with swatches. #mymodernart

I'm looking at hippos - trying to get anatomy right for something I'm working on - and so I end up painting them. #Arrtx acrylic pens and #Prismacolor pencils.

First attempt in traditional medium of this guy, even though he's one of my favorites. Mostly done to try to match colors, I'll probably change them up later. #haurchefant #ffxiv #mymodernfanart
