I’ve always thought varnishing videos were really cool, but hadn’t thought of using it myself. Trying it for the first time and wow does it pop!

#varnish #paintingprogress #bearart #celestial #shinypaint
Image depicts picture of a painting with gravel concrete behind it. The painting is of a bear in blends of pastels of light ice blue, dark purple, teal, yellow undertones, black shadows and white highlights looking up at a star centered in the night sky. There’s turquoise swirls from the four corners of the painting swirling in the direction of the center star. Other stars are scattered about, spatters of shiny turquoise paint, and silhouettes of the tops of tall pine trees arching over the view are barely visible in the night backdrop. The bear looks happy and whimsical. This is the full top view of the image before varnishing. Image depicts picture of a painting with a colorful blanket and beige carpet behind it.

Image of above shot view of a wooden surface with a sketchbook on the bottom left, opened to a red pencil sketch of a maned wolf head looking at the viewer surrounded by symbols and shapes. This image has added red pencil lines atop the sketch that has been added digitally. Just the ears, eyes and some fur details are drawn in and still in progress. Above the sketchbook is the end of a red pencil, blue marker, and black pen. To the right of those is a freshly brewed latte in a light blue mug on a small saucer.

doodln at the coffee shop 💙

#sketchbookdoodle #artjournal #selfcare #mixedmedia #copicmarker #bluepen #witchyart #animalart #thirdplace
Image depicts an opened sketchbook on a wooden surface with a black coffee mug at the top right corner. The sketchbook has a doodle done in dark blue pen and a periwinkle copic marker of a wolf profile bust with their head up and mouth agape seeming to be in the “ahh” phase of a howl. Surrounding them are shapes and lines like a large triangle, rectangle, and intersecting spaces, a star at the top, and moon and sun at the bottom left and right. The triangle extends into a rectangle below that shows a partially drawn evergreen forest.

really excited with how The Hermit came out, and for the zine it’s a part of, more soon~🔮💜

#tarotart #artcommunity #tarotzine #witchyart #thehermit
Image is a close up of an illustration of The Hermit tarot card. A hooded figure drawn in dark blue pencil has an aura of looking at the viewer, even tho all that can be seen from the hood are two round white eyes with purple edges. The shadow of the hood spills out to the hair blowing around in the seeming wind, depicted by flowing dots and the cold deep water blue round background. The edge of the frame is on the left in a golden yellow and swirling shapes surrounding line edges. The hooded figure is holding a pole with ropes that holds a cow skull with blue flames emitting from it as a lantern. There is a crescent shaped moon adorning the top of the hood, wrapped around the head with two small ropes attached to it.

playing around with doodles and color while getting the feels out~ 🩵🧡 🎨

#magicofcolor #doodle #illustration #creatureart #eyes #artexperiments
Image depicts a collage of 4 of the same images in a slanted rectangle like fashion. The image is a doodle of an illustration of a canine like creature with a third eye on the forehead, two eyes one each side of the head, and two eyes on the neck, one under the jaw area and one on the middle of the neck. The creature is done in a dark olive pencil linework, and the eyes done in a bright honey orange. The eyes are crying and weeping the same color liquid, and in the background of the portrait is a circle filled with the same yellow orange honey color. The background color varies in different robin egg’s blues, with variance in saturation levels to see how the colors interact with each other.

happy recent Full Moon 🌝 ✨

#tarotart #witchyart #tarotzine #wipart #artcommunity #sketchlines
Image is a close up of an illustration in progress, with multiple layers of sketches in pink, green and dark blue lines. A hooded figure veiled in shadow except for two glowing eyes, looks at the viewer, their left hand lifted halfway holding a cow skull glowing with fire. Hair is flowing in and out of the hood, with a crescent moon adorned on the front forehead and a rope attaching it from around the hood. There are figments of framework and flowing lines of dots in the background.

#witchyart #inkart #bearart #thirdeye #seasonofthewitch
Image is an illustration done in black ink of a bear’s face and neck, with a third eye on their forehead. Some lines and the cheeks are done in red ink, and the texture of it all is a mix of sketchy and organized directional lines. The third eye has a pupil and the other two don’t. The muzzle is slightly agape.

workn on some tarot cards for a tarot zine with a group of awesome artists. I’m so excited! art community is amazing ✨

#tarotart #witchyart #tarotzine #artcommunity
Picture is a close up of an illustration depicting a giant humanoid figure with long hair bending over with arms wide, holding the edges of a waterfront cliff side, becoming a bridge of sorts for other humanoid figures to cross upon her back, shoulders, arms and hands to the other side. She carries a barrel basket of 10 wooden staves. Water crashes up the rock faces below, with a bay of sorts behind them all, water extended out and almost hugged by the curve of the barrier rock furthest out. She lifts her head up in realization one of the figures is trying to show them something. The figure carries rope and a hammer- and the two share a thought bubble with the idea of creating a bridge with their tools and her staves, a solution that together would provide for all.

what started as doodles of Sephiroth fanart quickly turned into, what if Sephiroth was a kitty cat? 😹

#ffviifanart #sephiroth #kitty #doodle
very loose sketches of a ffvii character, Sephiroth, looking forward and licking the back of his hand like a cat. Below are two even looser doodles of him grooming like a kitty. And a lil blip of a cat face inbetween. Done in red pencil on the procreate app.

image is of two panels of an illustration. The top panel is a very zoomed in crop of the face of an antelope like anthropomorphic figure with long hair flowing through, in red pencil and digital red pencil outlining on top. The bottom panel is less zoomed in and shows both shoulders and more of the head and hair, with more outlines done than the panel above.

an old art journal entry, couldn’t resist sprucing it up.

#furryart #anthroart #artjournal
Image of a sketchbook with words scribbled on the top right side. In the center is a pencil sketch of a wolf headed humanoid figure seeming to be in mid transformation. One leg is wolf, the other human. Same with the arms. They are on the ground, in a somewhat sitting crawling position with both thighs on the ground, on paw lifted up and one hand planted on the ground. The fur cascades from the head to the mid back and front of the abdomen, with a tiny lil tail. Image of a beige rectangle, with an image of a wolf like humanoid, and two lines of text trailing from the end of the toes to out and around the subject like an abstract frame.

They are on the ground, in a somewhat sitting crawling position with both thighs on the ground, on paw lifted up and one hand planted on the ground. The fur cascades from the head to the mid back and front of the abdomen, with a tiny lil tail. text: “I feel like a wolf living in a society of terrifying animals- humans. And trapped in the body of one. Trapped in a grip of fear. Surrounded by so many who have selfishly hunted, killed, sported, and hated for decades at a time… …when we used to live together, hunt together, and be together. What happened? Why do I have to overcome this fear, before feeling comfortable? and human?..”

a fav doodle that’s been around since high school, done on art class scrap paper- from about 2006? wowza 😆

#doodlememories #scrappaperart #furryart #anthroart
image of a close up and full view design. The full view is very wide. The close up depicts two figures with their hands reaching out with space barely inbetween. circles in a gradient from turquoise green to black radiate outward behind the hands. It seems the figure on the right is an anthropomorphic canine and on the left, anthro dragon. Their hair, tails and snouts are visible in the closeup. The wide view shows the figures in full- dragon with long hair and feminine chest, the canine seeming wolf like with a fluffy torso and back fluffs of hair. They seem solemn.

They are framed in an intricate design on the bottom and the sides, with what seems like dirt behind them at the base. The image is framed in yellow words. On the bottom is says, “let it d!* to let it grow”, and the top says “fertilize”.

Grief helps remind me, that a lot of things in life are not linear.
Healing, progress, expression- especially when related to emotion…-

Aaand it’s done, feels so gud.

“When a sheep in wolf’s clothing and a wolf in sheep’s clothing try to get along but trigger each other”-is the sentiment.

The final piece with the watercolor base, outlines and other details and highlights added to detail and show the image almost popping off the wooden tablet easel background. The eyes are done in a light teal, along with a highlight outline of the figures. The second-ish stage of this illustration, with the basic outlines of the wolves and sheep and their hoods and interactions of surrender, biting and snarling are detailed. Image of the base of this illustration. On a wooden tablet easel of sorts, there’s a postcard with rough abstract watercolor outlines of two pairs of wolves and sheep facing each other. The wolves are in red and the sheep in blue.

Image of the beginning stages of a painting in progress of a bear in purple, yellow and white looking up at a star centered in the night sky, with turquoise swirls from the four corners of the painting swirling in the direction of the center star. Other stars are scattered about, and silhouettes of the tops of tall pine trees arching over the view are barely visible in the night backdrop. The bear looks happy and whimsical. Image of the previous image, except now on the middle to near end stages of the painting in progress of a bear now in more blends of pastels of light ice blue, dark purple, teal, yellow undertones, black shadows and white highlights looking up at a star centered in the night sky. there's spatters of turquoise and more stars with turquoise swirls. The bear still looks happy and whimsical.
