#caran d'ache

I was helping observe and tidy some biotopes in Shibuya yesterday and found this tiny fish. Even the tiniest little living things can be so strikingly beautiful, i was very moved by it.

(Sorry for the lack of art, i have been working very hard on client work and sadly haven't had much energy for my own work. <3 )

My friend was giving me life so I just had to drawn them! What you're seeing here is a combination of colored pencil and crayon :D

Painted a cedar waxwing on my mom's mailbox

Waxwings get their name from the bright red tips on their secondary feathers- a buildup of the carotenoid that gives red fruit its color.

Fish of Hayama i have met while snorkelling. Thread-sail filefish and rainbow wrasse species.

Not to get too personal on here, but the old dysthymia just feels a lot more mellow after spending a few hours with @patchworkpiratebear’s lovely colouring pages.

Yes, this took me several hours, I’m impatient okay?!!

Say hi to Morty, my bff in the entire world and the girlie who has kept me from starving to death on multiple occasions! This is my first front facing portrait and first time making long hair so I was nervous but I think it's a good starting point 🤭

DONE! 🥳💙

Surprise for my best friend, ArmeliaStrife, who had also done the cosplay for Lucca Comics, invading my house with a giant head 💀 If you're curious you can find some photos by looking through her profile! 🫶🏻

I'm never satisfied with my drawings: when I look at them afterwards I think about what I could have done better or what I would change but I really like this one! I actually had a little moment of uncertainty with this but I love how it turned out in the end. Among the right colors to choose, not coloring for a long time, I was very afraid but it was actually simple. I started with the background because it was the part that worried me the most: by coloring it first I wouldn't have been afraid of "throwing away a guy" who might have come out very cute. Too bad that after I colored the background I was afraid of ruining it by coloring him badly 🙃 That head was strangely the part that pissed me off the most: I hate coloring white on this type of paper. I was also afraid, with the similar and/or identical colors, everything would get mixed up and not be distinguishable... perhaps the background in this sense didn't come out very well 😔

I'm not sure what to do now. I have chosen and already made a lineart but looking through my old things I found several drawings that were started and never finished, perhaps I could complete those first 👀😆

I got indpired by @mcromwell 's heron paintings and wanted wanted to try my own hand at painting birds. (Check out their art! It's beautiful!)

It took me a bit of digging to figure out what sorts of painting media they were using, but the colours for the birds seems to be Caran d'ache neo colour II, with a mix of acrylic for background and such.

It's really fun! And the Caran d'ache colours are great to work with! You can use the crayon-like colours as is or paint with them using water and a brush.

Anyways, just wanted to show off my results and say thank you to @mcromwell for the inspiration. c:

It's been years since last I actually sat down and painted.
