So, I was inspired by gbsketch on tumblr. They’ve been posting every day for over TEN YEARS. Not quite my goal, but shoot for the stars amirite. Anyways, here’s the art I did for January! Notice how it gets more complex and time consuming as time goes on. You would think it would be the other way, but nooo I can’t do anything simple.
(I’m working ahead because I know myself. She she’s a huge procrastinator and sucker for instant gratification and not to be trusted.)
The Locked Tomb by Tamsyn Muir, is a thoroughly excellent series about necromancers in space, a murder mystery, a psychological horror, and just really, really funny. Don’t read if you don’t like beautiful and horrific descriptions of bones, though. Here is the speedpaint on youtube

Do you ever get images stuck in your head? That’s how quite a few of my drawings start out:)
Here are a few of my pen and ink planning sketches! Who knows how long it will take me to go them…

She’s in bed. It’s raining. At this stage, the idea is now on paper so that I don’t forget it!

When I finish this, I’ll post all my photo references! When it comes to portraying indigenous peoples, I really, really want to use accurate refs and such. I’m looking forward to the sweeping scenery!
Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived. You should listen to Six! the musical and also read Alison Weir’s book about the Six Wives of King Henry the Eighth!
This one is all ready to be inked! I just need to set up my phone, because I want to film this one >:)
The concept was HILARIOUS to me, and I was right, it’s just as funny on paper!
If you know me, you know Gravity Falls holds a special place in my heart. I don’t really do fan art? I don’t know why. This will be a practice watercolor piece because I…need the practice.
Do you enjoy pen and ink? It’s definitely one of my favorite mediums to work in!
Stay safe, and have a wonderful day!
