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…

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…

Inktober 2020 Drawing Promp Ideas
Hi everyone! Next week is October and that means Inktober is finally here!

Anyone can use this list for their own Inktober drawings or can use some of the ideas to create their own unique list. If you do use this drawing promp list, please tag me on social media so I can see your…

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.

4 Reasons Why You Should Try Bullet Journaling
Last year, I tried my hand at bullet journaling. If you are unfamiliar with what bullet journal is, it is a combination of journaling, scrapbook, and planner. What it is used dominantly for is up to the bullet journal’s creator. I intended my bullet journal for a planner that I could modify the layouts of to suit my needs for that month. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me. Although it didn’t work for me, it did give me an idea what style of journaling I should do and planner I should use. Even though it didn’t work for me, I really do believe bullet journaling can work for other people…

Inktober 2019 Promt List
October starts next week and, even though I’m ready for October to begin, I’m not ready for Intober. For anyone who never heard of Intober, it is when artists draw a new drawing, either in ink, with lines inked, and/or colored with ink (Markers), every day of the month of October. This year, I’m unsure if I will be able to participate because of a busy work life and the high possibility that I will be moving to a new house. (Unless something goes wrong again, which will delay my move even more than it already has been) Despite this, I wanted to do something on this blog or my…

Winter Lady Watercolor and Pencil Art
Last year, after months of not drawing original art (Sans clothing and costume ideas) I sat down and drew a new picture! And, because I’m ridiculously slow about talking about anything but fabric designs on this blog, I’m going to talk about it now. *sigh* This drawing, called Winter Lady, was drawn on watercolor paper with a pencil and then colored with watercolors and pencil. Overall, I’m very happy with the way it turned out. I wish I talked about this picture sooner, but eh. Better late than never. Especially since it’s December and the weather is cooling off. Sort of. Prints are available of this picture on Society6 here.…
