Day 3: Roasted. All I kept thinking was food..soup..roasted squash soup...🍲
I paused for a bit and did that one drawing challenge going around where you draw what you're wearing at that exact moment.
A revamp of a piece I painted for Kirby's 25th anniversary! 🌟
Similar, but different
Over the Garden Wall 🍂
Here's a revamp I did from an old piece of mine. This is one of those shows where I can watch again and again for the autumn aesthetics ❤️ Same goes for their soundtrack!
I made this piece a few months back and it took me enough mental strength to finally post what I have. The older version seemed somber and still, so I intensified the melancholy look, on how grief and heartache can continue to hold on after the moment(s) has passed.
But instead of trying to "Not think about it" or forget, sometimes it's best to get in tune with how you're feeling, imagining this feeling like a temporary visitor. Sit with it, hold its hand, tell it, "I see you, I hear you," and when you're ready, let them leave, until the next time if or when they come back.
Here's to peace, here's to healing, and here's to feeling your feelings this holiday season ✨
Day 31: Slice (feat. last year’s last inktober for comparison)
And that concludes this year’s inktober! This month actually went by faster than I expected, so I was surprised that Halloween is already here.
I hope everyone has a nice and safe Halloween! 🎃 But even if you don’t celebrate, I hope you have a good Wednesday 👋
恭喜发财! 龙年快乐! 🐉🧧✨
I will be honest. I was not looking forward to drawing this zodiac animal for a long time because I get overwhelmed with drawing details 🥲 But my goal this year is to overcome more obstacles, so here I am!! I have finished. And it turned out way better than I imagined.
Swipe through to see the previous animals I've drawn over the years 🐇🐅🐂🐀🐖🐕
I'm more than halfway through the zodiac!
I sit with my grief. I mother it. I hold its small, hot hand. I don’t say, shhh. I don’t say, it's okay. I wait until it is done having feelings. Then we stand and we go wash the dishes.
