More OC Sketches!
she’s not a superhero
just a lil’ squibble
Note: AHH the fact that this website makes all my post titles in all caps makes the title of this look super dramatic. It’s not supposed to be. Haha.
Here’s a quick little sketch I made of a fictional animal from my strange overactive imagination. They’re called squibbles, and they’re small, fluffy animals that are like combinations of squirrels, hamsters, kittens, puppies, weasels and birds. It’s not shown in this photo, but they have a crown of feathers on the backs of their necks. This is an especially young, fluffy, chubby squibble. They usually have the build of a weasel but they’re extra long and flexible. Anyway, I think I’ve said enough lol. Look forward to more squibbles in the future.
like…6 imps
Soooooo I recently binge-watched this animated series called Twelve on YouTube made by Petpyves and it’s like…the BEST SHOW EVER! Go watch it now if you haven’t already: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQwMP0Qq6iKZyny_MT_w0fqbYCjeuhF5k
K so after I watched it I couldn’t help but draw fanart, so here are like a million quick sketches of Imp I made while I was in class. Let me know which one is your favorite! I promise next time I’ll post some fanart that didn’t take me twelve (lol) seconds to draw.
Clarisse La Rue (Traditional)
Hey everyone! Here’s a drawing I made of Clarisse La Rue from Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Just a warning, there are a couple of spoilers for books 4 and 5 (The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian) ahead.
I think Clarisse is a pretty good character. She has some nice character development, and at times I can feel genuinely bad for her. Admit it, it would be really hard if someone showed up and completely overshadowed everything you did, especially if you’re a really proud person (which Clarisse is). Then, the whole thing with Chris Rodriguez going mad and Silena dying?? AAH! She’s still a jerk—no doubt about it—but she’s been through some really hard experiences and I think she’s a good person at heart. In the end, she chose to fight alongside the rest of Camp Half Blood and ended up being a really useful part of the battle.
The other thing that bothers me is that in so many books, the bully characters are often described as being really ugly. I mean, look at all the drawings of Clarisse. While the art is still good art, her design isn’t exactly…eye pleasing? I’m not saying that all characters should be beautiful. This is just how I personally imagined her. While she’s not like, a child of Aphrodite or something like that, I don’t think she should be hideous. So this is my design!
Anyway, I’m planning to draw every character from the series and post them here, so look forward to more of these in the future!
Bear and Leia [Commissions]
Nomi and Jazz [Commissions]
I was recently asked to draw two beautiful cats, Nomi (white and ginger) and Jazz (brown tabby). I really enjoyed making their portraits. It was a bit of a challenge, most of my cat drawings being American Shorthairs or similar, but nonetheless fun. On Nomi’s portrait, I used some purple for shading, which was something I don’t think I’ve done before. At one point it was too purple, so I balanced it out with gray. I think that the purple makes it seem a little bit more interesting, since there’s so much white on the canvas. Jazz was darker, so I just shaded with brown.
From July 13th to July 15th, I participated in “Art in the Park” for the second time. The first was in 2016, two years ago. Unlike last time, I used both colored pencil AND watercolor. I made some drawings beforehand, and did custom portraits of pets, as well.
I think I’ve improved a lot over the last two years, and I hope to keep doing so! Here are the links to some of the art I made last time.
Here are the colored pencil drawings I made this year.
