Sketchbook Time!

drawn for my grandmother who turns 80 in two days!

I've now got final versions up as individual posts and on redbubble! enjoy, everyone

I’ve been doing an illustration recently which I’ve designed so I can make Pride variations of it. I’ll probably be putting them up on redbubble, but I have a couple more to do so I might wait til I’ve got those finished. In order: LGBT+ace flags, trans flag, pan flag and sapphic flag

some life drawings: three were done last month, and a couple were done almost two years ago

how I draw portrait on my laptop.

The only setback is in trying to use shortcuts.

On the plus (or not) side, it's a good procrastination deterrent.

drawin an Aberford thing yeah! Betty is probably my fave (but they’re all my faves rly tbh) sketchypandagames (I rly hope they dont release more designs for her and Sylvia between now and when I post the final one cause i’ll have the wrong designs haha)

sketchbook time!

this is my bro. this is neither the first nor last time I shall draw him. he plays and composes music. but here he's just watching tv... rare.

Well, have you?

More draw-y things for Artemis the 13-yr-old trans-girl freedom flyer - we got rid of the term pirate cause she doesn't actually steal things. She's an outlaw tho, and the government kidnapped her parents and she's on a recue mission to get them back! Most of the crew are part of a minority or two, largely bc we all agreed that representation is important in general, but also bc I have friends who are v precious to me and I wanted to give them some??? sort of representation, as a personal thing. I'll prob post something of those characters too.

The airships, clockwise from top-left (to-scale comparison). In this world, there's a tradition of making everything that flies, ie the major ships and islands, as pretty as possible, "so that on the day it falls, it will be a beautiful wreckage":

her parents' vehicle before they get kidnapped, built for speed and carrying essential supplies; copper-coloured support structure to allude to aid, but a more subtle balloon and ship colour to avoid too much attention.

a government vehicle, built for power+to impress, with vague Ancient Egyptian warship references, with a dark colour balloon bc it's a sign of wealth that they can afford so much dye, to stand out against the gold-plated support, and cause you know, general dictatorship references;

a merchant vessel: murky-yellow balloon bc who has money to bleach/dye that much fabric, not merchants anyway, basic steel support.

Teenie Tiny airship of the Artemis' crew. Blue to vaaaaguely blend in with the sky and generally avoid detection. Bit old-fashioned.

the model sheet is what I drew initially as a reference for the model but have since drawn over + coloured

something I did recently for the uni mag monthly illustration competition (but hasn't made it)
