Happy Birthday, Kaveh!

Perfect timing! I'm doing some sketching here.

I recently had a conversation with someone, and since it's for the illustration of an old book, we believe featuring Aranara would be a great choice. They are full of life and are able to lift people's spirits, right?

It's just that I've never seen them myself, so I have to rely solely on my imagination... I'm not sure where these little creatures usually like to appear. What do you think? How about adding them here?

Need to share poly hedgehogs once in a while so people know what snowsnow like.

Don't mind the art style inconsistencies, trying stuff out.

(The Sonilver ones get the most space because they turned out the best)

did you know that blue jays are a type of corvid like crows, ravens, and magpies?

did you know that like their cousins they have a negative connotation when you see them.

do not trust those closest to you

Your process video is so cool! Can I ask what pen(?) you use for your orange base sketch?

Thank you so much!

I often use the Pilot Color Eno mechanical pencils with coloured lead.

I have a couple of reasons for this.

I don't like erasing my sketches after inking because too much friction may alter the watercolor paper surface which may cause issues later on when applying paint such as bleeding or otherwise uneven application. One way to avoid this if you do erase your sketches is to use a kneadable eraser and gently rolling it accross the paper so that it picks up the excess graphite/lead.

Graphite smudges more easily and I don't like how it can dull some colours. The coloured lead does bleed a bit when water is applied, but I usually try to pick a colour that fits the overall image so the lead becomes part of the painting.

I don't do this often but you can separate parts of a complex piece by using a few different colours.

I just think they're neat (and I happened to find a bunch of that coloured lead on a sale years ago and I still haven't had to restock lol.)

Hope this helps!
