Here’s a video on why I only use a pen to sketch ✅ Hope you try it out, it has helped me tremendously to streamline my process and improve faster ☺️💕

I’m finally sharing my new self-portrait with y’all. This is the first artwork I’ve created in Procreate on my new iPad. It took me a while to get used to the program but I’m pretty happy with it. It’s been a while since my last post so I want to say thank you and welcome to all of my new followers! I appreciate ya! 😊⁠ 🔹⁠ Buy me a coffee here: www.ko-fi.com/crystalcurie⁠ I appreciate all your support~ ☕️❤️⁠ 🔹 ⁠ #art #arts #commissionsopen #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #draw #drawing #doodle #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook #illustrator #artwork #digitalart #selfportrait #character #selfie #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #traditionalart #originalartwork #instaartist #instadraw #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artist #artists #crystalcurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwwyZOFv_Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s been a tumultuous year so far to say the least, and I think we could all use the vibes Jewelia here is emanating right now. If you’ve been following me for a while, you may recognize this art format as my 100 Themes Challenge (See #Crystal_100TC if you’d like to see more related works). This piece took me the longest time to complete so far (at least 7 hours alone on the zentangle-like patterns) though here it is in all it’s glory. I finished it a while back, and I wish I’d shared it sooner ‘cause now I’m starting to see all my mistakes lol. Anyways, there’s no time like the present! Stay safe and sane~ ✌🏼⁠⠀ P.S. See my Mandala Drawing story while you can for the WIP pics. I may take it down next week. 👀⁠⠀ 🔹 ⁠ ⁠⠀ #art #arts #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #draw #drawing #doodle #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook #illustrator #artwork #mandala #originalcharacter #characterdesign #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #traditionalart #digitalart #originalartwork #instaartist #instadraw #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #Crystal_100challenge #artist #CrystalCurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CKQNcApjn8P/?igshid=1czb4e0fnj5tt

A very belated anniversary gift for my bf. I still miss him dearly. 😔💙💚 It’s been a rough and lonely year not being able to see him that often, or my friends for that matter. Swipe ➡️ to see my progress pics. You can see I did the sketch a year & a half ago and I’ve been working on the digital rendering since April.⁠⠀ 🔹⁠⠀ #art #artsy #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #drawing #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitaldrawing #painting #doodle #sketch #sketchbook #digitalartist #Photoshop #Illustrator #digitalpainting #Wacom #originalartwork #portrait #cartoon #creative #instadraw #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystalCurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfUOMRDGkl/?igshid=ham9yxpepb1y

A belated Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! I made some Christmas-themed changes to my Nerdy Ninjas mascot. :)⁠⠀ 🔹⁠⠀ #art #artsy #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #drawing #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitaldrawing #painting #digitalpainting #doodle #sketch #sketchbook #digitalartist #photoshop #illustrator #artwork #conceptart #characterdesign #characterdesigner #instaart #instaartist #instadraw #Christmas #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystalCurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJUwHRcjZiB/?igshid=be81wm7e01

Finished up this piece inspired by some artists InkTober prompts (favorite season & seasonal witch). My fave season is winter so of course the first witchy character that came to mind was Elsa, so I ended up heavily referencing her famous pose. It was a great exercise and look, I finally colored a sketch! Something I haven't done in a while. 🔹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CIuKyJtDFe7/?igshid=1thc2ixa4yn73

gif example for the first 3:

another example of applying measuring:

I know poppin’ to be roughly 5 feet tall. I also know that, on average, the height of a room is at least 8 foot tall.

I also know that the pokémon centre has two levels to its base floor room, so I’m thinking it’s a bigger room than average but still a little less than two storeys tall. I decide to make it 12 feet tall, thats one and a half rooms. Considering the average size of pokemon is like, huge, it sounds about right to me.

So I measure that out:

then I add another floor on top, and that gives me the height of the building!

this is the same as measuring out the cubes, I just applied a number this time! the pokémon centre is about four poppin’s tall, or four cubes if you will

there’s all kinds of things you can do by using just a few lines to measure things out. I wanted to make sure hugh was taller so I measured that out too!

so when you’re drawing things like architecture instead of thinking of it as a big complex shape, break it down and think about the size and position of things - especially the edges - relative to each other, and you’ll find it much easier to draw.

It’s very time consuming, but if you’re patient you can draw anything no matter how complex :^)

I’ve been meaning to share this work of my characters Crystal and Astra for quite some time. These were done in 2018 but I touched them up recently. Crystal admittedly needs to be redrawn because her anatomy is wonky. 😅 🔹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwnsAbDJac/?igshid=sd77ojkmiohp

I was reminded of this Halloween-themed challenge I made for myself 5 years ago and thought I’d attempt it again last minute. I’ll be drawing my OCs in Halloween outfits for (hopefully) the whole month. I would’ve posted this sooner but I’ve been feeling kinda icky lately (prob just the weather affecting me again) and like I said I thought of this last minute. If you use my prompt list, please use the hashtag #crystal_OAC2020 so I can see what you guys make. And feel free to tackle the prompts in any order you like. Enjoy~ 😊🍂🍁 🎃 https://www.instagram.com/p/CF3ZV2cDIbF/?igshid=14kn2a040jk91
