#artists on tumblr#illustrators on tumblr#digital art#digital illustration#sasha's art#a few months ago i got asked to make a few illustrations for a poetry book that got published in my home county#the book dealt a lot with the imagery of home and nostalgia and homesickness and moving away#which are all themes i know so so well lmao#i never thought i would miss my home town but ever since i moved to a different country i get homesick so often#it is mostly about missing my family but it all of course also gets projected onto my home town#which is a place i know i wouldn't survive cos i don't Fit In like that and i spent many years there being so incredibly Lonely it almost-#-killed me#but nostalgia is a powerful drug i guess#i often think of all those places i spent so much of my time growing up#different kids walking those roads#different kids having different memories of it#something about it makes my heart ache profoundly#i hope they have a better life there than i did#i will always love my home town so so dearly#but in the end i am glad to be where i am now surrounded by friends and feeling safe <3

clean π¦ππ«§
(part 2)
#digital art#artists on tumblr#illustrators on tumblr#original illustration#original art#sasha's art#i am very proud of this one#i have been having so many issues drawing since i moved#adjusting has been difficult and my self worth Plummeted horribly#so i have been having difficulties with staying creative and finding Value in my hobbies and such#so a while ago i decided to just go back to the basics and focus on highly technical drawings#that's how this one started too- it was a practice art based on a photo of our sink i took#and then i fell in love with it and worked on it until i perfected every aspect of it and i played around with colours until i achieved a-#-Mood i was finally satisfied with#sometimes being technical and going back to the basics can lead to something Bigger i guess!!#i love this series so much#i love falling in love with my art all over again#there is one (1) thing i have ever been good at and i am glad at least it shows

Haunted // Love Affair With A House π‘π
#digital art#artists on tumblr#illustrators on tumblr#original character#original illustration#sasha's art#this one took much longer than i expected it to because well. thats how things go sometimes#there was a time in my life when i was going through years of abuse and felt like i had no way out of that#this led me to become uncaring and reckless and i was very impulsive at the time#there was this big old abandoned hospital in my home town that was not that far from my parents house#by this point in life i felt like i had lost all relationships with people previously close to me and i was not making any new ones out of-#-fear but also because i was isolationg myself (unknowingly)#because i was a child i percieved exploring this building as doing something Unsafe and Dangerous (and i guess it was in the sense that-#-things could fall on me if i wasn't careful)#but anyway i decided going there was going to be my Safe Place#as abandon buildings seem to be so seductive to teenagers it turned out this place was already a popular hang out spot for many teens#so i decided my best course of action would be to sneak out of my room at night/ dawn and go do art at this place when it was safe from-#-other teens lmao#it made me feel Edgy and Cool and Dangerous (even though looking back this was one of the safest activities i was engaging in lmao)#anyways#i replaced all my close human relationships with an abandoned house at the time (maybe theres a metaphor in there somewhere but. i do not-#(-want to see it)#at the time the thing i wanted the most in the world was to die and this was the place it was supposed to happen#luckily i made a deal with myself for ten more years and this ended up saving my life#so i have many mixed emotions about this place. it was there for me when i was at my lowest and loneliest. it was supposed to be my last#a few years ago i took my two best friends there (hadn't told them this story then yet) and i had a wonderful day and felt Loved#it was a weird feeling to feel there#i decided not to take them into the house and i don't think i will ever go in again#but i am glad i had it back when i needed it i guess#i wonder if theres still any of my old art supplies hidden about somewhere

#sasha's art#traditional art#original art#sketchbook#original illustration#recently fell into a wikipedia rabbit hole about plant mutations and learned about fasciation or cresting which makes flower heads look Lon#and also kinda vaguely disgusting but i kinda liked that about ti#so i was wondering what would it look like if that happened to Dog#besides i was starting a new sketchbook and i Had to put a quintessential yellow dog into it or else the world would have probably ended#theres just Something about long dogs in sketchbooks isn't there#just makes you feel Alive right???#anyways!! i hope u all enjoy my Long Dog#hopefully i'll be back to digital art by the end of july#toodeloo !!

spring is here!! ππ (cow pattern, rooster pattern)
#art#sasha's art#crochet#artists on tumblr#artwork#recently my boyfriend gave me the key to his apartment!! so i wanted to celebrate it with something Special#my idea of Something Special for this occasion was. Matching Keychains#i wanted them to be Personal so i decided on Cow Themed but then i couldn't find anything Good so!! i decided to make them !!#whats more personal than that!!#anyways then i decided i wanna learn how to crochet lmao so!! the white cow one is the first crochet thing i made it was exciting!!#the rooster i made for my great-grandmas 91st birthday!!#i made a rooster cos she used to tell us this story when we were kids about a rooster who was sent into the world to make a fortune#and he achieved this by storing things like. rivers wolves and bees in. his ass#its an iconic story so. i felt it should be commemorated#the patterns are not mine!! they are linked in the description!!#anyways!!#i hope you like these i loved making them!!#crocheting is quickly becoming a Beloved New Hobby i hope it stays ouugh#i'm excited to try making my own pattern!!!!! i have an Idea but idk if i'll be able to execute it
