Bonus dog this week for us. We're watching our friends' labradoodle.

Wow this is great! So much detail! What is the medium? It looks like something that would be hard to reach this level of detail.

This is in Rebelle. I just used a round brush with textured “paper”. I didn’t zoom in or use any digital magic. She posed nicely for the photo I snapped.

Awesome chimera, I like the snake shape in relation to the rest of its body. Cool style too!

A fineliner drawing I just did while listening to an audiobook. A great way to relax before work!

Monarch caterpillar.
I saw this chonky cutie and three of its friends on one of my swamp milkweed stands earlier this week. They'll all be chrysalises now.

Yayyyy!! Save the monarchs 🧡 love it

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 748 / 748 Jul 12 '25
Thanks! I was so happy to see them. I assume there were some on some of the other milkweed we have but they've already become chrysalises. The chrysalises are placed on things sort of near the milkweed so they could be just about anywhere. I'm excited to see them after they hatch.

Fattypillar heehee. Gorgeous shading, and it looks like you've been very meticulous with the placing of the yellow. I could see this on a wall

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 748 / 748 Jul 19 '25
Thank you! I did try to put the yellow in specific places because it's part of what makes them so pretty.

Was reading about different shading techniques and practising them. A small part of that practise

The scale of the plant really comes through. It'll be gorgeous when it opens!
Welcome!

Hey -- thank you! This afternoon two more buds appeared and from the same vantage point they shifted, following the sun. I wouldn't have noticed otherwise

Eagle rays… I have the worst luck seeing these guys underwater. But my friends got a wicked picture or two that I used as a reference :)

Really nice! I like how the highlights are kept simple yet punchy to emphasis the volume! Like, I don't know what it is.But the highlight on the trigger guard and the barrel is just chefs kiss

villain (hero?) whose only gimmick is chuckin' a fuckin' brick at you
2
u/Educational-Mood-422 0 / 58 Jul 12 '25
Believe it or not, this is an actual villain featured in the book The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains. If I remember correctly though, those bricks are filled with intoxicating gas.

u/0rtsaZ 13 / 490 Jul 13 '25
ha yeah, it's easy to believe it's not exactly an original idea!
no gas in MY bricks though, they're filled with more brick

Little circleboy. Bit the bullet today and bought some custom brushes cos photoshop decided to delete all the ones I made myself, as well as all my preferences? I dunno how to get them back, but it's taught me to backup all my files, so lesson learned I suppose. I still have all my image files so I have no clue what's happened :(

Well, started plucking away at this one today and will probably keep poking at it on the side for quite a while between daily drawings. But so far off to a good start.And I have an obscene amount of more details i want too add down the road! If my ambition does not get ahead of me my goal is to have 5-8 fun little/hidden details for each building. 😅

This week's character from my anthro WWII storyline is Tibelde; she dates from the 2002 character list but has been revamped. She's a young maid who Dorothea takes under her wing at Castle Schavitz, for good reason. There'll be more about her later in my art Tumblr and Toyhou.se.
Regarding her design, I'm iffy on her hair.

It’s a little different but I haven’t done a poem in a while and wanted to write one that accompanied the drawing. I don’t know if it’s any good but it was nice to do =)

Nice perspective on the truck! The wheels are especially good.

u/IndividualCritical21 0 / 4 Jul 13 '25 edited Jul 13 '25
Thanks! 😊
Perspective is something I've been working on recently. 🙂
I like vintage trucks. They're clean, practical, and utilitarian. There's nothing particularly fussy about them.

Drawing a boat at Matsushima Bay. Lots of rain in the forecast as we head south towards Tokyo, so trying to get as much outside drawing time as I can now.
