A fun little digital collab my twin sister ( @ℒ4𝓎𝒶𝒽_₊˚❀༉‧₊˚. ) and I decided to do together. Just drawing for fun and seeing how our styles would come together. (idk how I did my half- probably one of my best digital pieces so far imo)

We did the classic "you draw a half, I draw a half" challenge, where we each drew one side of the same character.

I let her choose what we were drawing, and she ended up picking a rapping bear. So... that's exactly what we went with.

I drew my half in MediBang Paint, while she worked on her half in Magma, which made it even more fun since we were using different programs. It was interesting seeing how each side turned out with our own styles, brushes, and little details.

￫ It’s always fun seeing how two different styles come together to create one drawing. ￩

Made this just for fun a couple of months back while messing around with my acrylic paint markers, and somehow it turned into a little drawing of my green parakeet, Kiwi. 🦜

She was definitely not the most cooperative model and refused to stay still for more than a few seconds, so trying to sketch her was a bit of a challenge. But I managed to get enough little glimpses to put something together.

It's nowhere near finished, and the markers were starting to dry out, so that's why it looks a little scratchy. I was mostly just messing around.

￫ scratchy markers + a bird that wouldn't sit still = a fun lil' experiment ￩

Working on another drawing collab... but this time with my twin sis instead of my younger one.

Hint: it's another animal...

Drop your guesses in the comments!

A fun little collab sketch my younger sis and I worked on together. Nothing too polished or serious, just drawing for fun and seeing where it went.

I did the base sketch, and then she created the design: a cute drippy chocolate cow. 🤎 It was originally supposed to be a male cow (you can still kind of tell from the base), but we changed our minds halfway through and made it female instead.

One thing she mentioned while drawing was that she is used to drawing smaller things, so working on a bigger sketch was a bit different, but she still did an amazing job with the design.

Definitely not our cleanest or most polished piece, but that's the point. Just a cool little collab, some random ideas, and a fun drawing.

Alright, Part Three is officially here. Honestly, I didn’t expect to be looking forward to this series as much as I am. Every time I watch an art video or even just look at art, I learn something new.

This time, I tried adding a bit more stuff. I even used 8 layers, which is an improvement from the past two drawings, considering I used 2-3 layers before. But hey, improvement is improvement.

Thanks to @mig_w4lol(Bloxdhub.com) for asking me to draw his old pfp for this one. I had a blast coming up with the idea and working on it. (I'm still practicing on getting cleaner lines tho..)

Thanks for reading!

I made this video for YouTube Shorts and just wanted to share it here with you all. I'd love to know what you think of it, check it out, and let me know your thoughts!

(Also, I will voiceover the video for YT so it won't only be subtitles)

This was a digital redraw I made around 8 months ago for a YouTube video, based on one of my even older OCs-

I decided to redraw him in a kind of videogame-y Sonic the Hedgehog style, just for fun. I didn't end up using my XP-Pen graphics tablet for this...(was when I was procrastinating) I drew it with my finger on a touchscreen.

At the time, I was actually somewhat happy with how it turned out, but looking back now, I can see a lot of mistakes with things like anatomy, proportions, and overall rendering. It's definitely one of those pieces where you notice everything you'd do differently after learning a bit more.

￫ not my best anymore, but every old drawing is proof I'm still improving ￩

Here's another piece from my little Fruits With Wings abstract crayon series. 🪽

This one combines a pomegranate and a peacock 🦚, and I had a lot of fun playing with all the layered shapes and rich colors. The reds and oranges paired with the peacock-inspired blues and greens made this one feel somewhat vibrant.

Even though this series is a few months old now, I still enjoy looking back at these pieces and seeing how experimental I was with crayons. It's fun revisiting artwork I made months ago and sharing the ones I still have.

￫ More pieces from this series coming soon. ￩

Okay- after finishing part two, I've realized there are way more techniques to digital art than I originally thought, but I'm honestly having a lot of fun learning them.

I had a little pocket of free time and thought, "Why not use it for PT.2?"

Even though this isn't my first time drawing with my XP pen anymore, it's still very much practice, and I'm still getting used to using my tablet. My lines are still pretty crooked, but I guess that's part of the learning process. Honestly, half the fun is seeing what my hand decides to cooperate with and how everything turns out.

I know this post may be a little long for some, so thanks for reading it if you did.

Did this little art challenge with a friend, where we both picked random images and combined them into a sketch. I ended up with an octopus, and they got Tom Welling, which was definitely not a combination I expected-

This was just a quick sketch, so I wasn’t aiming for anything super polished. I don’t really like how it turned out, but I’m posting it to hear some opinions and see what others think. I also somewhat fixed the nose and mouth after this photo was taken, since they were bothering me.

Still, it was a fun challenge and a good way to experiment with something random.

￫ not my favorite, but I’d love to hear your thoughts ￩

This is actually a pretty old piece from a crayon abstract series I was working on months and months ago.

The idea was super simple: I asked different family members to each give me a random fruit and a random flying creature, then I'd combine the two into an abstract artwork. 🪽

For this one, the prompts were an eagle + a chili pepper, which definitely wasn't a combination I would've thought of myself, but somehow it worked out. 🌶️

I don't actually have the full series anymore since I gave a few of the pieces away, but I still have some of them, so I'll probably be posting the ones I have left over time.

￫ old artwork, but I still really like this little series ￩

Some sketchbook art!

Did one of those random spin-wheel art challenges with someone where we both pick some random prompts beforehand... and we ended up with Hatsune Miku + a Monstera deliciosa plant.

Ngl, I barely even knew who Miku was at first, so I just improvised and turned the monstera leaves into her hair, then hoped for the best.

I honestly think the lineart ended up looking mid but better than the finished piece. I kinda rushed the coloring because I wanted to get everything done in one day, so I'm not happy with how it turned out, but it was still a fun challenge.

￫ lmk what y'all think could be improved? ￩

Okay- after a WHOLE year, I finally stopped procrastinating practice with my XP Pen Graphics tablet, so that's fun.

As you guys can probably tell, this is one of my "first" times drawing digitally (I say "first" because I've drawn digitally on multiple occasions, but this is one of my first times with my graphics tab), so this is practice.

Also, due to the time frame I had to make this, I wouldn't really call this a finished art piece. This series is more of a means for art practice and appreciation for others' profile pictures and artwork, anyway.

Thanks to Jennie(Bloxdhub.com)/mrs.jennie_arts(YouTube.com) for allowing me to draw her profile picture. (This is a redrawing of her Bloxdhub pfp)

Made this pretty late at night, like a month ago, so I wasn't really trying to make anything super serious or polished-

It started with me just messing around with shapes and colors for a gift I was making, but somehow I ended up pulling an idea together, and now we're here with this abstract pomegranate acrylic marker piece.

I think it turned out okay overall, though there are definitely things I'd change if I revisited it. Still, for a late-night experiment, I'm happy enough with how it came out.

￫ could've been better, but not bad for an almost midnight piece ￩
