Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. I don't usually do anything for it because it depresses me so much, but it's a worthy day to honour. Many trans people (especially transwomen of colour) are still killed and tortured for their identity, just for living as who they are. It'll be great when - if - TDOR comes around one year and there are no new names to remember. Until then, the best we can do is remember. . . . #tdor2018 #tdor #lgbtartist #lgbtqia #ftm #lgbtcommunity #lgbtpride #lgbtq #lgbtart #transboy #trans #transwoman #transman #transition #mtf #transgender #transsexual #lgbtsupport #lgbt #art #candle #humanrights https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqa9qOVFTvJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12oddzkkktgsv

A doodle from last night of Art, an OC. So I'm still in the planning/writing stage for my comic "Shadow Realm" and one of the things I'm struggling with is deciding what style to go with. I've done character design in a fairly simple cartoonish style but I'm kind of enamored by the thought of doing something more realistic? Not entirely so, but something like this doodle. Anyway, I'm kind of messing around with some ideas regarding that. One thing I do want to do is make Art's Asian ethnicity explicit, which is something I find hard to do in a more simplified style. 🤔 . . #illustrate #color #art #draw #pen #instaartist #myart #drawings #colour #artsy #illustrator #sketch #creative #artoftheday #picture #drawingoftheday #artlife #instaart #ink #artstagram #illustrations #drawing #pictures #artist #arts #pencil #artwork #pictureoftheday #sketchbook #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/BqXJFiZlja8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tv0vq8g06m6i

A new design for Redbubble! You can purchase it by following this link: bit.ly/aubergenius This is a drawing I did towards the end of Inktober; I was tired and decided to just hash something out, something punny because that's how I roll. Anyway, we all know what an aubergine represents so uh... I wonder how that ties into being a genius? Guess you'll have to tell me, lmao. 😌 . . . . . . #redbubbleshop #design #funnypics #funnypictures #lol #artist #redbubblecreate #aubergine #purple #genius #funny #redbubble #artoftheday #funnymemes #artistsoninstagram #instaart #cartoon #redbubbleart #artwork #tshirt #🍆 #redbubbleartist #puregenius #digitalart #cartoondrawing #tshirtdesign #geniuslife #redbubble #art #eggplant https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIOIazlprE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eqk7pqhktt1r

Hey! My #inktober2018 pieces are finally cleaned up and viewable on my website! www.juliangrayart.com It was a tough month and it only just feels like it's finally over now that I'm done tidying them up. I also wrote a blog post about my Inktober experience which you can read on my website, if you're interested. Now I'm watching my partner suffer through NaNoWriMo, mwhahaha. . . . #artstagram #artoftheday #instaartist #drawing #drawingoftheday #artist #ink #artsy #artwork #instagood #picture #artlife #paper #arts #illustrate #beautiful #myart #instaart #creative #illustration #artgallery #illustrator #drawings #art #pen #draw #gallery #illustrations #inktober (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIDDifF-UI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11et5jk4aeg8o

Day 31 #inktober2018 !!! It's DONE. For my last day I've drawn two of my OCs, the main characters of "Shadow Realm", Art the vampire and Elsword the human who is seen here being dragged along. (Art is a transman and Elsword is nonbinary!) Sorry I couldn't post this yesterday, I was celebrating Halloween! Finally, Inktober is over. Now I can watch my partner suffer through NaNoWriMo. #inktober #ink #art #illustration #oc #trans #transcharacter #originalcharacter #transgender #vampire #drawing #artist #cartoon https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpo4VgNlEkZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2l8cledpov66

Day 30 #inktober2018 A shark merman! I like to think the shell he has tied to his trident is his good luck charm somehow. #inktober #art #illustration #artist #merman #merpeople #ink #illustration #trident #seashell #shell #man #shirtlessman https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmfhWklMad/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sy4l57xhtxt5

New blog post! In this I talk about how it's easy to fall into a mindset of comparing yourself against other artists, and making artistry into a competition.

Day 27 #inktober2018 An incubus from The Witcher, playing a little tune on her panpipes. This is another one that didn't photograph very well. After Inktober is over I'll go back and scan in my favourite pieces properly to turn into prints. I think pieces that are solely black and white photograph well, but my phone camera seems to struggle with pieces featuring more subtleties of shading and colour. #inktober #incubus #witcherart #witcher #thewitcher #ink #sketchbook #art #artist #illustration #woman #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkL3H_lXm0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=157j3g7o4276t

Day 25 #inktober2018 This didn't photograph very well but whatever. Boyfriend challenged me to do a negative space wolf and skull moon. Skull moon didn't turn out as good as I hoped sadly. :( #inktober #wolf #moon #art #artist #illustration #sketchbook #ink #blackandwhite #night https://www.instagram.com/p/BphBixllv8y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=38psmlzbwc68
