Nice find! She found a shell >: ) She is inspired by oysters!

When visiting tide pools, please remember to not touch the wildlife or move them from their spot. We are visiting their home and need to be respectful to them & their home <3

One of my favorite sketchbook moments from last year :)

#art #drawing #illustration #humanart
A sketchbook spread depicting 4 different boats out at sea. Three of the boats are fishing boats and the other one is a sailboat. The boats are adorned with festoons and colorful buoys hang from the sides. The textures in the piece are varied, there is a crisp and grainy colored pencil texture, a denser and more buttery colored pencil and some marker.

The indie Filipino short film "The Lovers" (Studio Heartbreak) is now complete, and will be released this summer on Youtube.
In the meantime, here's a nice official poster illustrated by Ami Thompson.

We have been rewatching steven universe and are about to start the movie >: ) This song and this scene continues to haunt my mind despite it being some time ago since I saw it.

#art #stevenuniverse #stevenuniversefanart #sufanart #su
A black and white digital sketch of a redrawn seen from Steven Universe. It is from an edited screenshot during the song, "What"s the use of feeling, Blue?". The digital drawing is of Yellow Pearl and Blue Pearl, both singing, while there are bubbled quartz gems floating around them. The text: And tell me, what"s the use of feeling, Blue?, is shown at the bottom left corner.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

#PublicDomainDay
A noir-style illustrated poster titled “The Case of the Disappearing Copyright.” The Lockette—a cartoon character whose body is an open yellow padlock—cautiously steps out of an open vault marked with a copyright symbol. A strong beam of light shines from outside the frame, casting a large copyright symbol onto the floor. Floating eyes and a magnifying glass with a question mark evoke a detective mystery. Red footprints lead toward the open vault door. Text reads: “Public Domain Day 2026” and “Jan 21st @10am PT: Virtual.” Illustrated by Freya Morgan.

Simplify-ing complex designs & making them cute and understandable

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

welcome to animalian, a little comic heavily based on animal crossing to celebrate the new update!

its sort of choose your own adventure style! so u will be able to vote on what happens at certain times so stay tuned ^__^
a leaf similar in shape to the animal crossing logo leaf, with scattered dew drops and a roly poly and snail with text that reads 'animalian' on top of some triangle grass.

it doesn't matter if that one topic you want to draw has been made millions of times already. only YOU can create it in your style and that makes the art unique. also just draw that damn thing because you enjoy it!!!! it's actually the only reason you need
