Quinceanera Sketch from a Pexels Stock Photograph Number 2
Hi everyone! It’s time to talk about the second sketch of a photograph I found on Pexels. You can read about the first sketch here. This is what the sketch looks like… Like with the first sketch, this one is rough and unfinished. Even though I like the model’s pose and dress, I like the way the first sketch turned out more. I prefer the way the model’s pose and the photograph I used as a reference. Still, I like the way this sketch as well. I am also planning on finishing the sketch and coloring it digitally. I am planning on doing this to the first sketch, so I…

Quinceanera Sketch from a Pexels Stock Photograph Number 1
Hi everyone! A few months ago, I decided to sketch some more stock photographs from Pexels. I like to find stock photographs for my lifestyle blog on Pexels, but I also found many photographs I want to sketch as well. On a whim, I decided to search for princess, wedding, or quniceanera photographs I could sketch. In my quniceanera sketch search, I found a series of photographs of a beautiful young woman in a red dress. I really love the way she was photographed, so I decided to sketch some of the photographs. Two of my sketches turned out well, but both are really rough. Yet, I really like the…

Dress Rough Sketch
Hi everyone! While looking through the same sketch book I found my 2023 self portrait sketches in, (You can read that post here) I also found another sketch. This sketch is a rough sketch of a dress. Here is what the sketch looks like… I honestly don’t remember much about this sketch or the dress that inspired it. I remember I saw a dress (Probably a collectable Disney Princess doll) and felt inspired to sketch it. I don’t remember much else about it. I do know it was done within the past two or three years. Since it is a rough sketch, I never talked about it online. When I…

2022 Self Portrait Sketches
Hi everyone! Last year, I decided I would like to update my profile picture. For many years, my profile picture is a self portrait of myself. I wanted to continue the tradition by drawing a new one. My plan was to draw myself with the same style hair and clothes I always draw myself wearing.

Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire Resketch
Hi everyone! Recently, I began to feel the need to practice my sketching and general art skills. For one of the first sketches I wanted to do, I decided to redraw a classic painting. After searching online, I found a portrait painting of Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire. Years ago, I sketched my own version of the painting for an art class. Sadly, I don’t have photographs of the art I did for the class to post online. I enjoyed recreating the painting, but there were things that got on my nerves about my interpretation. Since I’m trying to make myself become a better artist, I decided to revisit the painting…

5 Basic Things Artists Can Do To Prevent Art Theft Online
Hi everyone! Recently, I began to think about how someone can prevent art theft of their work. There are many worries that come with posting art online. Artist that use social media to promote their work are susceptible to art theft. Even though artists are worried about this, there are easy steps artist can take in order to prevent, or deter, art thieves from targeting them. Over the years, I learned simple (and kind of basic common sense) ways of showing ownership over my art and photographs. Even though there are more complicated ways to prevent art theft, here are five basic ways I try to prevent people from stealing…

Self Portrait Sketches- Spring 2021
In the fall of 2019, I decided to do a series of new sketches of myself to use as profile pictures. At that time, I cut a lot of my hair off due to damage from a long term illness I suffered from. Back then, I thought I would have enough time to focus on drawing again. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to sit down and draw until this spring. Since so much time has passed, my hair has grown long enough that there isn’t a huge difference between my hair’s length today and back then. Because of this, I didn’t need to draw a new profile picture,…

Inktober Drawing Promps 2021
Hi everyone! October is a week away and that means it’s almost time for Inktober! (Or, in my case, Sketchtober) If you never heard of Inktober (Or Sketchtober) it’s when artists draw a new piece of art every day though out the month of October. For artists participating in Inktober, each new piece must be drawn by pen or ink based drawing supplies. For Sketchtober, it must be a sketch only. Many artists, like myself, like to create a list of ideas to draw and share them in order to help anyone who feels uninspired drawing inspiration. This year, I decided to do something different: I wanted all the drawing…

Hi everyone! Next week is October and that means Inktober is finally here!

5 Reasons Why You Should Not Bullet Journal
In my last post, I talked about four reasons why someone should try bullet journaling. Even though I believed trying bullet journaling for a few months, I realized it was not a great fit for me. Since I’m now using a different type of agenda/planner style, I wanted to share five reasons why bullet journaling would not be a good way to organize and plan.
