Day 1: Wizard OC

Axel is my FAV magic user these days, and I have plenty of magic weilding ocs :)

Literally folded and collapsed trying to draw the first one, which is a... cleaned up frame from a storyboard I have for her

Second is something from my poses folder bc apparently I suck at coming up with poses :(

Sketch XVII

Call it cheating, since it's just a single portrait this time, but I liked this one in particular so I wanted to post it separately :D this was for the very kind @Rainystarling, thank you so much again!

Sketchtober 31 - Elizabeth

It took me longer than I expected, but it is finished. 2023's sketchtober is a wrap! Had to end with Elizabeth, from one of my favorite games of all time, Bioshock Infinite. Now, back to posting some paintings!

I'm not an artist (more of a writer) so feel free to ignore any and all suggestions

If you are frustrated with your skills then I have seen some art challenges that might refresh or push you - things like sketchtober (doesn't need to be a finished perfect piece but you just have to Do Something each day) or I saw an art challenge referred to as Improvement Hell (blog is pencilcat) - it's from a while back but still might help get you back into the groove

If it is about inspiration - are you trying to draw ML stuff? Then maybe switch it to different characters, especially ones you haven't drawn in a while. Or do some not character stuff, fruit or animals or landscapes, or make up your own characters. Like do the exercises I've seen where you put random watercolor (or even coffee splotches) on the page and then draw something to fit the various shapes (not sure how to do it digitally if that's your medium)

I get how frustrating it can be (I haven't written anything For Fun in quite a while and not sure how to start again at the moment especially with all the other writing I need to do) to be stuck and frustrated but I know coming at the problem (your art block/frustration) from a different direction can be helpful, like changing the what, how, or even why can be.. recentering (I am not sure that's a word and probably not the right one if it is)

Anyway I don't want you to give up on something you enjoy (not even bc I like your art a lot) but also totally disregard if this isn't helpful or it's bad advice for the problem and/or you just wanted to yell into the void and don't want any advice

i forgot to respond to this, forgive me, but this is all solid advice and i appreciate it! i tried to sort of force myself into doodling tonight and it helped a bit. i feel like I've forgotten how to draw and my attention span isn't the best so it's been frustrating trying to get back into art. but i don't ever wanna give up on it!! im hoping this is just a temporary thing (could just be burn out.) maybe soon i'll start drawing regularly again

thanks for the message and the advice!

OCtober / Sketchtober - Niut

I was originally working on a Ciella picture today but there was no chance with my cat stealing my chair that I would finish in time so uh... Here is Niut and her dragon protector!

Day 4: Palette!

sketch by @geekasaurus-rex !

i love possums so much :) thought abt this one the whole time and almost sketched something similar, but didnt actually see it through

might honestly use this challenge to practice my coloring

[jagalart]

So I have a few Sketchtober slots available as I promised! :)

Main offer

Sketch portraits

I won't be opening regular commissions nor waitlist until December (or later) - I want to finish previous commissions from this year first, there's still plenty to catch up with! So the old queue and these events are my only focus for now.

I did it... I finished Sketchtober!!!!

[badmashblitz]

This is kind of cheatsie. I had started this back in April and never finished it, but with sketchtober day 21, 22, and 23 being heart, mind, and soul I couldn't get these fellas out of my mind.

[quinbi]

I swear I was almost there for sketchtober. Nearly had it. Then my evening got too busy. It will be finished tomorrow though.

[talexior]

After sketchtober, I'm back with more paintings, and I do have a few to show you folks! Here's the first one, a commission I finished a couple months ago. More info and process video here: https://youtu.be/UiXbm8BlNsQ
