My boyfriend loves foxes, so I thought I would give one a try. I quite like how it turned out!

Froggo!

A lot of people seemed interested in an Inktober list so here we are! I’ll be participating along with it too once October comes around, until then I’ll start planning what I want to do ^w^

Rules:

You can use whatever medium you like! Traditional, digital, etc.!

You don’t have to draw every day or even go in order, do whatever you like!

Remember to credit me for the list, and if you want you can use the #SylInktober2020 so we can see what you’ve made!

Have fun!

Wishing I had more color options. Eventually I will. Even so, I like how it turned out.

My first time attempting a butterfly. It was fun but I really need to work on combining proportions and symmetry. Especially the symmetry part of it lol

It’s difficult to do space colors in colored pencils. Especially when you cannot think about colors. But this is what I got for today.

This piece took forever. 3 episodes of The Walking Dead, and about a 1/2 hour test run of my boyfriend using Twitch to stream KotOR. The game being so old means we have to find another means to stream though.

I’ve been doing longer pieces lately and it’s been really good for my mental state. It shows growth in my mind and art. Being content to sit at my desk for hours at a time working on a single piece shows me that I am improving my patience and attention span. I am no longer doing 3 pieces in a 2 hour span in class and wondering when the hell I can stand again and let my hand stop cramping. I’m also focusing a lot more on detail and technique than I was before, and of course, adding color is helping me like and enjoy doing my art more. I like the outcome of black and white pieces, but the boldness or the color and the neat lines means I like my art more once it’s finished. I do need new colored pens and markers tho

A piece I did today. Today was a huge struggle.

I did an entire group project this mornig in 2 1/2 hours, sat in class and did the sketch of this piece. Voldemort was out and made all three tasks very difficult. He insisted on sitting on my finger as I typed, and then got upset with me as I had to use it to type, and of course he was attacking my pencil while I was drawing.

The screens, stress, and bird screeching gave me a headache. After lunch I immediately jumped into another class and did the ink on the piece, class ended early and so I was able to lay down for my now migraine before having to meet my group for yet another class. My alarm went off, I drug myself out of bed and turned on my light and nearly collapsed from pain. Put myself into the Zoom room for my group and sat there. Alone. For 20 minutes. Gave up on them and laid back down until the need for food pulled me up again.

Between food, water, laying down, a bath, and two rounds of pain meds, my migraine is now back down to a sharp headache. Man, I did not miss these days at all.

Posted this on twitter already but uhhh here we go again

Flowers and gems. Started it yesterday. Finished it today. Days like this remind me why I started doing art again. Thinking is hard. School is hard. But drawing means I can sometimes put all of that to the side and do something I enjoy. It helps me focus. It helps me reboot. Life is hard. But that’s why we have art.

This piece was very fun. Keeping me focused during class too.

I do adore those clouds though. And for mountains, those are fairly good for me.

My favorite part of this piece is definitely the clouds. Least favorite is the dot of bird shit Voldemort decided to add underneath that bottom planet.

This guy right here, decided he would take 5 seconds to “improve” my 2 1/2 hour drawing. Thanks..

A little alien girl I made. Still can’t get those damn eyes properly

I’ve been coloring a lot more while watching tv. It keeps my hands busy and leaves my mind able to process the show better. This one piece took me about 4 episodes of The Walking Dead.

My first attempt at making not only an OC, but at a DnD character of mine. I definitely plan on playing with the color scheme, but that’s what I had available today.

This is Aetyr. They are a halfling warlock, obtaining power through their boyfriend Hades. Aetyr was a noble who initially sought out Hades to learn the power of the undead. After spending months in the underworld, Aetyr fell for Hades and Persephone. This tiny 2’9” halfling was not only brave enough to seek out power from the gods themselves, but to get two to fall in love with them.

Sometimes when I don’t feel up to drawing, I’ll pull out one of my coloring books. My sister was a good art companion today.

Getting matching eye shapes is getting.. a little closer. Slightly. Maybe.

This piece was so much fun and the further along I got doing it, the prouder I became.

I had intended on coloring the flowers themselves, likely with silver, but I absolutely love how they turned out in just black and white. It’s rare that I actually like my own art, let alone to adore something like this. I really need to get back into using my pens and markers. So much fun, and it looks so clean..!

A piece I did to show my love for my (future) boyfriend.

I haven’t decided when I’m going to ask him out yet. I know I’m ready now, after leaving my ex-fiance, but the timing has to be right, you know? I was going to last week when I saw him, but had a really bad day emotionally, possibly tomorrow though..!

I’ll be honest. I cried so much making this.

This is the beginning of a memorial piece I intend to get tattooed, probably on my wrist. The feather needs to be thinner, especially at the bottom, as it will be a tail feather of my first bird Winter, who passed many years ago. We got Winter from an elderly woman who was losing the ability to care for her properly. We had two birds previously, but Winter was the first that was all mine.

The paw prints belong to my kitties, both passed last year, and I got both at 6 years old. The orange and white one belongs to Odie, my fat, “no really mom, it’s just fur!” cat. His diabetes went unnoticed until it was too late to save him. I attributed his weight loss and sluggishness to depression, as it was mere months after we had lost his brother Batman, to whom the black paw belongs. He was all black, but for the white star on his chest. He was always sickly, but it took me by surprise when I woke up one morning to find him unmoving and struggling to breathe.

A birthday drawing for my little sister. She’s turning 7 on Monday..!

Family painting night part 2!

Although, it was just me and my youngest brother tonight. I really enjoyed doing this one. Very pretty result and I got some practice blending and mixing colors. The stars are the next thing I should work on.

Painting night with my family. It’s something I really needed this week.

I know it’s been a while, I’ve been really busy with school and it’s difficult to motivate myself to do art with the lockdown going on. It’s making my mental health so much worse. But drawing helps, when I can do it.

Why artists and writers reblog their work multiple times:

They posted it late at night and want people to see it in the daytime

They want others to reblog it

They want more attention for it

THEY WANT OTHERS TO REBLOG IT

They have followers in different timezones and want everyone to get a chance to see it

THEY WANT OTHERS TO REBLOG IT

IF THEY REBLOG IT MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY’RE DOING IT BECAUSE THEY WANT ATTENTION FOR IT AND THEY’RE LIKELY NOT GETTING ENOUGH, SO THEY KEEP REBLOGGING IT IN THE HOPES THEY’LL GET SOME

BE A COOL BRO AND REBLOG

THEY’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER
