THANK YOU SWEETHEART!!! LETS MAKE SO MUCH ART THIS YEAR!!!! 😭😭😭

My half of an art trade with my lovely wife @beedalee !! These are two characters from an offline project she's working on

I'm so happy to be in a place where the both of us are drawing so much again. Happy 16th anniversary baby!!

[beedalee]

To start off the year, a little Dom & Mor art trade/anniversary present for my hardworking sweetheart @dyemelikeasunset 🧸🌇 Hope you guys are excited for more D&M this year because Naf has so much more of their love story to share with you all! (Read it on Webtoons!!!) 🥰

Beedalee on INPRINT ✨🍀🐝

I have plans to open my own personal shop in the future to include other merchandise, such as specialty paper and signed prints, acrylic charms, bags, etc- but I don't know when I'll get that all sorted out, so for now all the recent prints I've sold at convention are available for print-on-demand here!

Meet the Artist 2024! I'm Bee, and I will be your host ✨

On a whim, I made a new 'meet the artist'… but it became such an illustration that it felt quite odd putting so much text all over it! So I kept it simple. For further reading:

Some major art influences of mine include Mia Ikumi, Naoko Takeuchi, CLAMP (esp the Rayearth era), Yoshihiko Umakoshi (specifically his Precure and Doremi work), Kira Imai, and Chiho Sato.

My tools are still generally paper & ballpoint and/or sai2. I've been drawing quite a lot offline, actually... it's just a matter of time before some of it starts to make its way up here. I just need to scan and sort things out, which I've become quite lazy about... This summer's been just gross and melting away all my willpower. Hopefully it'll start easing up now!

Anyway, that's all for now, thank you for looking ✨

It's me!

outfit refs under the cut

[beedalee]

I'm finally settling on Kye's new bodytype, so I did a bunch of outfits for them!!

Solaris is still a slow burn right now, figuring out a bunch of stuff but keep getting stuck. I wanna at least get back into the swing of the character designs though!

[beedalee]

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

BABIES!!!!!! MY DARLINGS MY ANGELS MY CUPCAKES!!! 😭

I've been a little burnt out just working on pages and chapters for Dom & Mor, so I took a break to do this illustration and I love it 😭 The babygirls are giving very NANA vibes here lol

Hey! I notice when you color, you make the eyelashes look lighter behind the hair

(I think that's how you describe it? English is not my first language!) How do you do that?

I clip a layer (the layer called "lineart color") on top of my lineart layer (the folder called "Lines (3)" ). This makes it so that whatever I place on the 'lineart color' layer will only affect the layer it's attached to.

Then I just color the area of the eyelashes and eyebrows that are supposed to be under the hair in a lighter color.

I am (still) using Sai2, but it should work similarly in most art programs that have a layer feature. Hope that helps. 🥰

Hi Bee! I’ve been following your art since 2010 and your TMM stuff was what caught me. I just wanted to say how much of an inspiration you are to me and you and your art are so beautiful! :D I went back to drawing mew mew ocs today and to get into the groove I obviously had to look at your mew mews a few times to get hyped. All of them are so beautiful and you made designing them so infectious!! I hope you have a great day and weekend <3

thank you for brightening my day with this sweet message!! i feel a certain special joy knowing my little OCs for this fandom inspired so many people... whenever I'm sad and don't know what to draw, I find myself wanting to make more, or make my other ocs TMM costumes, haha 🙈 i guess it's like a tried and true medicine? anyway, i hope you had the most fun drawing your mew mews!! 🥰

I recently redrew a lot of this one, I felt she looked too adult compared to the others, and I didn’t like the crazy saturated colors. I’m much happier with it now!
