Playing with layers and just doodling my way out of an art block again. Just busy with life. Here's low effort post. Help me die in art. My other social media pages: DeviantArt, Instagram, X

Testing more ways to add more visual effects on top of my default art style. I've been having some slight improvements in my exposure outside Hive from the rise in average impressions on twitter, threads,

I tried creating this without sketching and just painted. I was tempted to do it all with one layer because for some unknown reason I am more at ease with painting than illustrating. I ended up with the

I have an inclination to the horror or grotesque like images. They're not as close to the head fiction images but I'll take what I can get given with my current skill set. The challenge here is laying

I'm planning to use the base image (girl) to other future works. The art challenge here is creating multiple art styles from the same base. There's another process I'm still exercising which is not giving

There's an internal struggle to render a piece perfect and there's this voice that wants the visual message to be chaotic. I don't have a set art style and still exploring new ways to pretend being an

I found that rendering skulls is the most basic skill gauge when it comes to how good you are at picking up values. The subject has everything from round to irregular shapes and can have a lot of forms

I wanted to try coloring in scribbles while using values and contrast. It's pieces like these that are challenging because the effect tends to look cluttered which is something I try to stop myself from

I was playing with the liquify tool and just painted whatever comes to mind as I go along. I've seen other artists get so good at manipulating their works with the tool that's a bit of a challenge to use.

I know it's a step down from the stuff I usually make but this one was an a challenge to keep things as simple as possible. When I wanted to learn how to color anime drawings like your standard YT tutorial,

I wanted some exercise on line strokes and weights so I decided to adapt a new art style. By art style, it's not really that far from what I've been doing from my previous works but there are subtle

I don't really think of titles while I'm working and the naming sense if probably the most underutilized creative muscle I got. And I have a lot. For this piece, I embedded the link to the youtube video

I was playing with texture brushes, blending modes, values and lighting. The usual basic stuff for painting. I'm in my "discovery art phase" where getting a feel for creativity takes form and

Practicing my values and lighting. I'm not really into using colors beyond black/white/gray because I prefer monotone styles but I will confront the demon of called coloring some other time. Below is just

I've been looking into surrealism paintings because these are close to what I used to doodle. Don't ask me to explain the work as I don't even know how or forget right after I made it. No process shots

I mixed up elements of manhwa coloring with manga. It's still a sloppy work and I could see the errors post finish but then I remember it's just an exercise. I do these pieces to gauge how I improved and

I may or may not continue this piece as I tend to abandon a lot of drafts during studies. The goal is to try doing a mix of manga and manhwa drawing and coloring styles. There's a difference in how Japanese

I Have No Imagination and I Must Paint is the first play of words I thought about when trying to rid myself of an art block. I recently encountered the work of Harlan Ellison's book titled "I Have

Finished Sensei fan art from No Longer Allowed in Another World anime. Draft below from my WIP Post EDIT: Forgot to set it to burn so don't bother voting on it. My other social media pages: DeviantArt,
