I've been busy practicing feet and lemme tell you, artists say hands are hard but feet are my nemesis. They're so hard!

I've spent days working on an anime eye as practice and pretty happy with it how it turned out. Now, the trick is to do two together.

Not having an eraser in the house makes art so much harder. Need to fix, can't fix 😫

Anyway, here's my elephant that didn't come out quite right.

So little bit of a humble brag but I follow this guy who puts up drawing tutorials and folks, I drew a cow face and it's... not totally terrible (caveat I draw it with an unsharpened 2B pencil)

(Don't mind the black texta, I needed to black out my address)

Folks, got a question for you. What type of blue do you think of think of when someone says the colour blue. For me, it's this blue.

Really curious.

I was inspired to do a book #bookreview graphic by another post for the wonderful dark fantasy I just finished.

Born of Scourge by @earlronove.bsky.social go check it out!
Book review graphic- background of grey wispy clouds across pinky orange sky, text of BOOK REVIEW in glowing text at the top, the book cover in a white frame and review text of 'how much did I love this book? Let's just say I didn't want it to end. It was dark and brooding but also sweet and at the same time 10/10 5 ☆s'
