I Am A Closet Button Fanatic. How About You? I Think Buttons Speak To That Little Part Of Me That Likes

A little work in progress shot. Wednesdays are kind of long work days for me so it can be hard to put a pin in it and get my other work done. 😭 Gotta bring home a little bacon.

She is a boots kind of girl.

Sailor Neptune in my style for the @the.meggie.johnson #DrawThisInYourStyle . I grew up in the late 80’s/early 90’s and remember watching Sailor Moon on tv mornings before walking to school. Fighting evil by moonlight is still my jam! I even have a Sailor Moon wallet and phone case because they are so cute. Can’t wait to see what other artists come up with for this drawing challenge! ✨🌙✨ #ursaink #meggieredraw #dtiys #meggiedtiys #sailormoon #sailorneptune #sailorneptunefanart #artoninstagram #sailormoonredraw #sailorneptuneredraw #sailorscouts #sailormoonfanart #fantasyart #fantasyartist #sailormoonart #neptune #sailorneptunecosplay #sailorneptuneaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaclCdMghc/?igshid=1skauut2kw1wh

I put some effort into a traditional watercolor portrait for the first time in at least a decade. It’s not my best work, but I enjoyed the process. I’m going to work on my watercolor skin tone building a bit more and watch some videos. Any YouTube recommendations for watercolor portraits specifically? ✨ #ursaink #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait #watercolor_painting #portraitart #femaleartist #womanartist #calaverascounty #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFcafiMbZm/?igshid=5dundagvn9cc

#MarchMeetTheMaker 💜 STYLE 🌙 I’ve never been much of a landscape artist or a very skilled cartoonist. I would say my love of drawing people and animals lands somewhere on the semi-realistic scale. I noticed that I don’t like to go that extra step into realistic or photorealistic art. I enjoy everyone else’s creativity with comic and cartoon art, but I tend to be hyper critical of my own efforts in that realm. 🌙 I can see the style difference in my art from others, but I can’t verbally pin point exactly what it is. I like to go for maybe more unnatural, saturated colors. I like bold sitting next to dark. And like so many artists, I LIVE FOR those bits of highlight and glow at the end of a piece. 🌙 This is a piece I am most proud of. It isn’t terribly popular in my shop, but that’s okay. The Archer has a perfect skin palette in my eyes. A little orange, a few hidden blue tones. 🌙 It is also important to me to use poses and develop characters that aren’t perfect “Instagram Girls”. I’ve always been the weird kid, so drawing imperfect people is a base desire for me. . #ursaink #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meetthemaker #meetthemakermarch #meettheartist #meettheartist2021 #femaleartist #womanownedbusiness #womanartist #weirdart #weirdoart #weirdosunite (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7iVGYMnGt/?igshid=1t4ritzbdo3i8

My neighbors moved, not recently, and I was the beneficiary of many pads of paper. I will definitely be using these up with some classes I’m enrolled in for this year.

This beautiful girl, Valkyrie, is part of my current commission piece.
