It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Strahdtober Day 4 - “Bride”, and Day 5 - “Sweets”

it took two damn days to make this, and I ended up not being able to put as much detail into the cake as I wanted, but all in all, I’m mostly pretty pleased with it. not bad for my first real swing at digital art 😅

some doodles as i figure out how to draw my favorite guy

as soon as i make something, i end up feeling really frustrated with it. i know this is a common experience, but it’s so hard working on something and being proud of it, and then being like “whoops, it actually has the same color issue all my other art has that I can’t figure out how to solve.”

i think what’s crazy is that when i draw, it’s like there are three different people with wildly different art styles and technical abilities fighting for control over the pen
