My cousin, Ada, let me use her face as a reference while I practiced my realism skills. It’s clear she had fun with these expressions, and so did I. She calls the piece “Adapocalypse,” and said it looked like a movie poster. Somebody start making this film!
One-point perspective drawing for my art class—I did the drawing room from Downton Abbey!
In case you haven’t noticed already, I’ve kind of given up on Inktober this year. But I’ll try again in 2021!
This was a project I did for school called “shattered value.” We could “shatter” anything we wanted, and I chose a rose as my subject. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but by the end I thought it looked really nice.
Through doing this project, I learned a lot about lighting, values, and shading techniques. Not to mention patience—coloring all of those boxes took FOREVER! But I think my hard work paid off, because the piece turned out very neat and clean (in my opinion, at least).
My great-grandmother passed away two days ago. She was kind, caring, and incredibly strong. We will miss her dearly. Rest in peace, Grandma Ruthie.
Just some kitties I drew to practice exaggeration/stylization.
My friends made these two characters—Mirabelle and her son Avery—who I thought were just so adorable. The three of us each drew this same picture of them, and it was really cool to see how they each came out!

Semi-realistic husky I drew for my friend
The other day, a friend of mine came up with an idea for a collaboration where we each make half of a drawing and then switch sketchbooks. Then, we complete the other person’s drawing. This is the one that I started in my sketchbook, and she finished. I think that it turned out really nicely! To see the other half of our collaboration, click here.
This is Amaya, my Dungeons and Dragons character. She’s a wizard-sage halfling, and the voice of reason in our party. Amaya has spent several years away from home studying magic, and shows promise as an aspiring wizard.
I haven’t had the chance to play her much, but in our first session, my friends and I sent our characters on a quest to fight a manticore. Unfortunately, Amaya was immediately stabbed and her health points dropped to 0. Luckily, one of our party members was able to stabilize her and she survived. I almost lost her in her very first battle, though…it was quite the adventure! Hopefully she won’t have so much trouble next time.
