  • Procreate Decorative Border Practice Sketches

    August 6, 2024 /

    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…

    Hi everyone! It has been quite a while since I posted sketches and drawings on here. Since it’s been a while since I posted, I wanted to talk about why I haven’t been posting about sketching or drawings.

  • Castle Sketch of a Pexel Stock Photograph (And a Talk About My High Expectations for My Art)

    February 6, 2024 /

    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…

  • 31 Halloween Themed Art Prompts

    September 27, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! It’s almost October, which means the fall season is in full sing, Halloween is almost here, and Inktober is will happen soon! If you are looking for new Inktober art prompts, or art prompts in general, but want something Halloween themed, then this is the list for you! I am trying to make several art prompt lists this year. One of the lists I decided to create is a Halloween themed one. This list contains things that are inspired by things you would see or are associated with Halloween. They include Jack-o-Lanterns, haunted houses, and costumes that are typically seen on Halloween. Sadly, I didn’t include everything that…

  • 31 Fall Themed Art Prompts

    September 26, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! When I worked on a list of art prompts for my Inktober/Sketchtober post for this year, I began to think of other ideas that would be great for a themed list! After some work, I created a fall themed art prompts list. This fall themed list focuses on fall themed ideas only. Halloween oriented ideas will have their own list. This list is not the only themed list I will be posting this week for Inktober/Sketchtober, so if you don’t like this art prompt list, then my other lists may interest you! I hope you are inspired!

  • 2023 Inktober Art Prompts

    September 25, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! It’s almost October, which means many artists are partaking in Inktober (Or Sketchtober, which I prefer to do). If you never heard of either, Sketchtober is an artistic exercise in which someone sketches a new subject for 31 days. Inktober is the same as Sketchtober, but artist must use ink based art tools. As the names would suggest, this happens every October. I used to write a list of Inktober art prompts, but I took a year off due to a lack of ideas and inspiration. This year I decided to revive my old tradition of creating a new list of art prompts! This year, I tried to…

    May 18, 2023 /

    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

    May 11, 2023 /

    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…

    April 11, 2023 /

    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…

    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.
