Twilight tea with the tide crone

Cinnamon and sugar sand dollar cookies, with slivered almonds arranged just so. Fresh from the hearth of the sea witch’s shore cave home. Paired nicely with a steaming pot of black tea smelling of vanilla and bergamot.

Hello!! I really love your art, especially your lines and the way everything flows while being filled with detail. I esp love the blend of surreal and soft, darkness and fairy tale. Do you have any process videos or posts about how you draw/ how you started?

Thank you for sharing your art! You inspire me immensely. <3

Awe 🥺 thank you. 🫶 Honestly there’s no greater joy as an artist then when people describe your work how you want it to be perceived and take inspiration from it!

Besides the occasional wip post I haven’t delved much into posting about my process, or how I got into art.

As for specific brushes/ textures I use, I’ve actually yapped about this before! You can find the post here. My process is still relatively the same only now instead of lowering the paper texture opacity I’ll set the layer to subtract too. Also I’ve been using the default procreate calligraphy shale brush for bg detailing.

I’ve tried numerous times now to write about how I started and BASICALLY. There isn’t anything nearly remotely resembling a straight and narrow explanation. I’ve been fumbling the entire way and I’m still fumbling. I started out just sketching things I liked from real life and photo references. This was animals, characters from my favorite movies, model poses I thought were pretty. I didn’t really have any favorite artists or inspirations at the time. I guess I wanted to be as good as my dad? He was an ultra realistic dnd kinda artist so THAT’S why I think I started off trying to replicate realism.

I didn’t get into digital art until my mom suggested I buy an art tablet with the inheritance I got from my dad passing. She ALSO picked it out. And the program. I’ve been drawing on an iPad Pro on procreate ever since. Thanks mom. (If you get an iPad Pro you have GOT to get a paper texture screen protector for that thang because you CANNOT draw on the glass)

I had it for a few years but wasn’t very consistent with drawing (or any good, for that matter). I had another art blog once upon a time where I posted arcana fanart and art of my friends ocs. ITS UNFORTUNATE I don’t really have anything to show for that portion of my life because I have a chronic fear that even looking at past works will regress my skills 💀 so they’ve slowly been deleted over time.

Don’t delete your works even if you hate them and think they’re garbage because after a few years of consistently drawing you’ll be amazed at the comparison.

I didn’t really start seeing improvement until I got ‘serious’ about art. That is, intentionally carving out time for it every. Single. Day. This was around when I started drawing touchstarved fanart. For me the only time I really have energy for art is before work so I’m getting up at the ungodly hour of 4:30 for an hour or two of drawing. To me it’s very much worth it.

When it comes to style and inspiration I’ve always loved folklore and fairytales! Here’s a list of a lot of the artists that’ve inspired me to continue drawing

Traditional:

Jaw Cooper, Vanessa Gillings, Taryn Knight, Cecile Berrube, Monge Jean-Baptiste, Iris Compiet, Larry MacDougall, Beatrix Potter, John Bauer, Heikala, Lavera Grace

Mixed media:

Owly Jules, C-kiddo, Marika Paz

Digital:

Wickwheat, Sara Kipin, Marlowe Lune, Jamie Green, May Lee, inimeitiel, Mogo Shin

As for my process/ process videos-

Tumblr keeps eating the timelapse I’m trying to upload for you, so I’ll try on a separate post 🙄 if you don’t see it within the next week, I didn’t succeed. I think process videos are far more helpful than images- but in the meantime, here’s the cleanest piece process I have to date:

Start off with a rough sketch

Refine the details

Lineart

Coloring ✨

I hope this was insightful in some way shape or form!

Thank you very much for popping by c:

Small announcement for my commissioners on ko-fi regarding my prices:

I have decided to make art my dedicated job for the time being and thus I've started charging minimum illustrator wage according to my country's standards.

Thank you to all of you who have commissioned me over the years, I am immensely grateful and I am very sorry for any inconveniences that my pricing changes my bring.

I will be making small designs on the side for cheaper from time to time!

Thank you again for your love and support on my art <3
