Hey guyss! How's it going? Hope everything is good over there! :)

I have a bunch of traditional art from the past couple of weeks that I haven't posted, so I figured I could do post with everything. Here it goes!

✶ For these I used Copic multiliners and the pentel pocket brush on my Freestyle sketchbook from Artgecko. It was intended to be another post for Kuretake so I used the art & graphic twin markers for coloring but unfortunately I didn't like the result in the end 😅

Not a big fan of this color palette to be honest.

✶ Here's another failed attempt of drawing something for Kuretake. The process of this one was really fun though, because I printed a veeery light digital sketch directly onto my Fabriano mixed media paper, which was something completely new for me.

The sketch was this one:

And it looked like this when printed---

I just started painting on top! It was great, I loved using this technique. I want to see if I can incorporate it into my process more naturally !

This was the final result, which I don't hate but there's something I don't quite like, maybe is that there's too much blank space between the poses and it feels kinda empty, I don't know. This is like a younger Colivia I did for fun haha the design reminds me of Peter Pan a little too much lol.

✶ A few days ago I went back to my Moleskine sketchbook, which was a little bit abandoned, and played around with different mediums, like poscas and colored pencils. It was a very fun session !

The guy is supposed to be Bryce Vine (my boyfriend is making me watch the Glee project after 10 years lol) and he was in there and not only his music is awesome but his appearance overall is very... character-like? I just had to draw him. I recommend you this song btw !

✶ Finally, here's a colorful page with some Prismacolor colored pencils swatches :D these are all the ones I have, though I hope to slowly expand my collection a bit more because I really love them and I want to incorporate them more into my traditional work!
