Learning How to Use Procreate (Again) and What to Do With My Unfinished Sketches
Hi everyone! Today, I wanted to talk a little bit about how I’m doing sketching and digitally painting using Procreate. If you are new to my blog, I started this blog over ten years ago to promote my art. I ended up switching focus on sewing and photography because I could post it more often and it was more popular. For the past two years, I decided I want to focus on posting art… but I didn’t end up doing it. I have many reasons for this, but the biggest and most important is that I haven’t felt inspired to sketch, draw, digitally paint, ect. A lot of things happened…

Tiffany & Co Gift Box Inspired Wall Art- Base Painting
Hi everyone! Today, I will be continuing my post series about how I made a Tiffany & Co gift box inspired wall art. I already talk about why I wanted to make this and my sketch in a previous post here. For this post, I wanted to focus on the base painting of the box. The painting wasn’t difficult, but I do have a few regrets about how I went about painting the canvas.

Tiffany & Co Gift Box Inspired Wall Art- Sketching and Paint Choices
Hi everyone! For many years, I wanted to own canvases with illustrations of luxury fashion items. I own some from places like Hobby Lobby, but there were a few I liked yet never purchased and own. One of them is of a Tiffany & Co gift box. Recently, I decided to search for a canvas again. I didn’t anticipate purchasing one, but I did want to know how much they cost compared to what they cost a few years ago. After my research, I didn’t like the prices of the canvases nor did I like the designs or the size of the canvases. After dwelling on this, I decided to…

Sketchtober Travel Themed Art Prompts
Hi everyone! If you have been following this blog for years, every year for many years I publish a post featuring new Sketchtober (Or Inktober) art prompts. If you never heard of Sketchtober or Inkotber, it is a hashtag used on social media where artists sketch, or draw in ink, something new for each day of October. This is meant to be an artist exercise. I used to participate in Inktober, but my life has become too busy over the years for me to participate. No matter if I am participating in Sketchtober, Inktober, or not, I like to write posts with 31 art prompts. This year, I struggled to come…

Procreate Decorative Border Practice Sketches
Hi everyone! After a long time of practicing and sketching, I finally feel ready to share some of my sketches I made on Procreate! I’ve been working on sketching on Procreate for many months. I used to really enjoy using Procreate, but I forgot most of the settings I used to use and how to activate them. This is the main reason why I decided to take my time using Procreate. It wasn’t a time when I needed to become accustom to using Procreate. It was a time when I needed to relearn how to use Procreate at its fullest! Now, I feel confident to start posting some of the…

Castle Sketch of a Pexel Stock Photograph (And a Talk About My High Expectations for My Art)
Hi everyone! Recently, I’ve become more and more pessimistic about my drawing abilities. I know why my sketches are not turning out as nicely as I want them to, but this been really putting me in a pessimistic mindset. I’m normally quite a pessimistic person and, even though I do feel optimistic, I am pessimistic most of the time. This is why I think my sketches are making me so frustrated. They are not matching up with my high expectations for them. Whenever I approach my art, or anything in general, in my normal pessimistic state of mind, I am more concerned about preparing and practicing before I move forward…

An Update About My Society6 Shop
Hi everyone! It’s been a few weeks since I wrote a post here on this blog. I decided to take some time off this blog to focus on other things. One of those things is to create more things! Sadly, nothing is done enough to post online at this time. Instead, I decided to write a post about my shop on Society6. I also need to write an update post about my Spoonflower shop, but that one won’t be ready for a while. In 2023, I, as well as other artists, received an email from Society6. It said that they were introducing a paid plan system to their site. This…
