I've started painting again...

Here's the outline on a few Christmas gifts

Once upon a time I doodled some things in my sketchbook that I hated. Every time I opened up my sketchbook thereafter, I felt annoyed and discouraged. Eventually, I stopped opening it. The watercolours sat abandoned in a drawer. Months passed.

Then I was diagnosed with ADHD and started medication. Creativity started firing again in my brain! Still, what to do about the ugly page? Eventually I caught that thought and held onto it long enough to answer it: Make Something New.

I took a big blob of gouache and covered over the parts I hated (most of it). Then I thought I’d take a pic for posterity.

I came up with an idea. I penciled it. I hated most of it so I erased it and tried again. I watched a tutorial on painting shrubs. Then I got to work.

Here’s a mid-fix pic:

I worked it until I was happy enough with it and that’s the pic at the top. I’m hardly a master but at least I’ve cleared away the block that had prevented me making progress ☺️

"The Forest"

An illustration I painted and turned into an animated gif. This was very tedious but I like how it turned out.

My take on unicorns! I'd really love to make a mythical creature field guide someday, since the Spiderwick Field Guide is what inspired me to start drawing in the first place 🥰

"The Swimmer" Short animation thing I made a while ago.

I am noticing that a lot of my work has water in it in some form.
