Doodles from yesterday. It's been hard finding the time to create lately so I have to capture opportunity when I can.

Here’s the low-res digital painting of Black Cat I did on Procreate, with the graphite & watercolor piece. I love keeping a traditional feel—lines & brushstrokes matter most. Excited to keep learning.

Polishing this up in Procreate. This will probably be the first piece I make prints for.

Tried something different and did some Black Cat fanart in graphite and watercolor last weekend. I'll probably try to digitally touch it up in Procreate!

Life drawing from the last weekend. Completed in charcoal, which is not my first choice of medium, but still very fun.

"Shadows", my recent #watercolor.

But those creations are not entirely true, they are only half the story. We should find comfort in the truth that time and death wait for no one. A sun rising brings the promise of a sun setting.
