Elisabeth Liones, a character I drew for a Reddit user over on r/characterdrwing.

I just finished reading witch hat atelier, so I just had to draw something with flowing cloth.

Drew this beauty on stream today!

It's a church for a pathfinder campaign I'm working on.

I am really getting the hang of drawing realistically with just ink!

[elanoryart]

I tried digital rendering for the first time with this painting of Robert Downey Jr, because he's my mom's favorite actor!

To be honest, I had no Idea how to do the hair, I will need to watch some more SamDoesArts Tutorials I guess.

I tried my hands at manga character design!

My goal was making her look as gay as possible!

This was my first time inking on deleter paper, so some of the lines look quite wonky, but by the end I think I got a pretty good hang on it.

Also I actually wanted to have a lot more black parts in the drawing, but my white ink wasn't closed properly and dried out, so I couldn't add any details to black areas.

Expect an update when I get new white ink!

NGL, I cooked with this one.

Isn't it really interesting how autistic special interests tend to be this super specific thing? Like, mine isn't "painting" or "watercolor" or maybe a specific style, but instead it's painting grass.

It's kinda unfortunate that in the very end I got some inky fingerprints onto the page, and I did consider photoshopping them out, but I'd rather show you that these are things that happen, and instead of dreading over it I'm gonna use it as a learning opportunity.

Tried watercolor!

Still wanna die, but a little less now!

I think I'm becoming better at drawing grass?

Who am I kidding, neither of us cares about the grass. I am still in a depressive episode. Imma be honest, I don't think it's gonna become better. Not under capitalism. Not while I have to do work I don't care about forty hours a week. I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this. Whats keeping me here right now is the thought ow how fucking sad it would be if something finally changed for the better in the world and I wasn't around to see anymore.

I've tried ink washing for the first time today.

Last week I've been in a really bad spot physically as well as mentally. I didn't draw for a few days, didn't read either, only gaming and doomscrolling the entire day.

But yesterday I finally managed to cry it all out, so today I was able to leave the bad phase behind me. I drew this, I showered, I caught up on "the moon on a rainy night", a manga series I love. Now I can finally go to sleep happy with the day behind me.

I am trying to figure out how to draw lots of grass with pen. The problem is it should be lighter further away, but the only way I mangage to achieve that is by reducing the density of grass, wich is the opposite of what it should do.

Remember when I said that it might get better now? Yeah, it got worse. It got so much worse. This has been the longest I haven't been able to draw since September. Worst thing is, the reason I've managed to draw now isn't because I've found some new motivation, it's because I'm away for work and have literally nothing else to do with my evenings. I'm so damn afraid that as soon as I'm back home, I'll fall back into old habits. I don't have a positive note to end this on, so just... Wish me luck, I guess?

"just throwing hearts" - a completely non political cartoon by me

Today I managed to sit down and draw for over three hours. I'm not quite happy with the result, but I am really proud that I did it.

[elanoryart]

Depression is so stupid. When it gets really bad, I become unable to do the things I know will help. Like, I know for a fact that drawing will make me feel better, yet I can't draw a single stroke. The past few days have been really rough, but I've finally managed to pick up a pen and draw some trees. It's not much, it didn't take long, but I managed to prove to myself once again that I can pick up a pen, and that I can power through this. Hopefully it gets better now, at least for a while.

My favourite character ever! Didn't feel like fully rendering this one, so I just made some simple shading.

Today just a quick landscape sketch

A quick landscape sketch of a location for my pathfinder adventure!
