Almost didn’t manage to draw up anything for pride month, oops! Maybe I should do a pride moth as well (thanks autocorrect)

Didn’t turn out the way I intended, but it doesn’t matter because loons are always a win.

99% watercolor with some colored pencil details that you can’t really see. Gotta get the rust out somehow.

My paper got so warped because of this painting, but it was so worth it. Look at him! <3

#still figuring out the crown part the coral is not consistently placed in the drawings #very interesting palette to work with and I’m having fun figuring out how to draw his armor #jrwi gillion #jrwi riptide #i have so many sketches started and comics planned and an animation when am I going to have time for them :’)#him <3 #my art #watercolor #traditional art

I have a disproportionately loud mess of a head for no discernible reason* so it’s kind of a miracle that I spent the last month and some change willing myself to wield watercolor again. Witness the struggle! A long overdue color sketch for a (super patient) client.

Just watercolor with a boop of gouache.

*they are a mush of small but immense problems??? Executive dysfunction being maximized by meds the main culprit…

#watercolors #work in progress #equine #commissioned work #color study #traditional media #traditional art #you wouldn’t believe how much I want to hyperfocus on this piece for a week state #but the burnout and year long hiatus have shaken my confidence to its core #and I was never a confident person to begin with #it’s a horrible feeling and I have had to borrow J’s will to conquer it in any way #I celebrate even the smallest victory these days otherwise I’d burst #can you believe my adhd diagnosis was inconclusive?#no I’m fan but I am getting tired of relying on my brain to punch itself #i need new meds holy shit #there are not enough apologies to make up for how I feel about making everyone wait

had the true pleasure of drawing this scene of @salavarte's greenbrier mice, without question some of my favorite critters of all time. this was the painting that these studies were preparation for. i really liked the idea of them doing a kind of lion dance type of celebration but using a weasel pelt

this was probably the most ambitious watercolor painting i've ever worked on and while of course there are many spots i'm not completely satisfied with i am overall really proud of it

additional detail shots (the color profile is different because these were taken with my scanner instead of my camera, both of which wonk up the colors in different annoying ways):

#bflyart #watercolors #mice #lion dance #salavante #greenbrier #greenbrier mice #cowls #i know how the internet works well enough to be certain this won't get as many notes as the cowl studies #but hey i put like 20 hours into this so it would mean a lot to me if it got some love
