The Dog In Question...:**

@yarrow-leaf ‘s Strahd is and always has been my muse. which means it’s really fun to look back at drawings from September and compare it to a drawing from tonight, both using this post as a reference. idk if it comes off as as much of an improvement from the picture, but I can feel it in my bones — I’ve grown.

oop jumpscare from one of the ugliest strahds i’ve ever drawn 😭 use references folks please

follow this blog if you want:

- whatever art references come across my dash

- the occasionally impressionist painting (not mine)

- one (1) artwork per month of whatever random fictional man i have most recently attached my mental health and wellbeing too

CURRENT MAN — Kim Kitsuragi (Disco Elysium)

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 😅

new for the first time tonight — Nikolai Wachter

also featuring — a bunch of dot expressions, thicc strahd in boxers and a cape, and so so so many noses

also the drawing that’s colored out is one i’m really proud of, but it is specifically for my secret strahd piece, soooooooo

i couldn’t think of a better way to communicate this so its this . my struggle

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

when you’re pleading for your life and the old man disguise isn’t working anymore, sometimes you have to get desperate (it didn’t work)

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 if i had to guess what the source of that color issue is it would be that I don’t vary my values enough? and tend to stray away from really intense shadows or highlights. I’m also not really “making choices” when I do digital paintings in terms of lighting and stuff. it might be worth watching some videos. cause I really really hate how flat everything I do looks.
