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

More artwork of my characters, featuring Crystal, that was made for me by my friend @jewelsart7 about 3 years ago. (Ik, I’m super late) She has a cute anime-like art style and you guys should go check out her work. 😊 Thanks again Jewels! 🔹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CH00q2zD1kU/?igshid=1vcv5e8lwmwlw

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’ve been meaning to share some artwork that was made for me by friends. Here’s a piece my good friend @krazykat188 made for me for my birthday 2 years ago, featuring my characters.

I haven’t drawn anything in forever. (4 months 😬) I’ve been really busy but it felt nice to draw for myself again. 😌 Inspired by some artists InkTober prompts. I hope to ink this soon.

Sketch I did while it was slow at work. Sorry I haven’t been posting at all lately. Life has been busy and crazy, and when it’s not, all I wanna do is sleep. 😴 🔹 #art #artsy #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #sketch #doodle #sketchbook #illustrator #drawing #conceptart #character #characterdesign #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #traditionalart #originalartwork #instaartist #instadraw #artistsofinstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC

I’ve seen many iterations of yin yang characters and I tried making a pair; They turned out to be a sun god and moon goddess. And tbh I didn’t finish the second one because the face looked so good, I was afraid of messing it up. 😅 Enjoy~

Here’s my #ArtvsArtist collages! I’m sure you’re wondering why there’s two of them. Well, the first one showcases my best work from late 2017, and the second one shows my best work from this year, along with some sneak peeks at art I haven’t posted yet. 😅 Here’s to more art-making next year! 😊 🔹⠀ #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #originalartwork #creative #draw #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #pen #pencil #inking #digitalart #character #characterdesign #comic #comicart #traditionalart #illustration #digitalpainting #ArtvsArtist2018 #ArtvsArtist2017 #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/BsFGpWuBmpo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3g0fetup7qd

Here’s my #TopNine on Instagram this year! A few of my favorites are here, including my mandala drawing in the middle and the preview of my comic in the upper left (the most liked!). Thank you my friends and the community for your support! I hope to make more great art next year. 😊 🔹 #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #originalartwork #creative #draw #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #pen #pencil #inking #digitalart #character #characterdesign #comic #comicart #traditionalart #illustration #digitalpainting #TopNine2018 #BestNine2018 #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/BsCaF3Uhhvj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j8ntc8uo2kit

Here’s Cath from @gloopcomic! I drew this for the gloop contest. I was thinking about doing more with the background, though this is what I got right now. I hope you enjoy. 😊 Go check out the comic! 🖤

Here's a preview of the comic idea that I mentioned the other day! What you're seeing is the working title, a couple of the characters, and the tagline for the story. A tagline is really just a super short summary. 🔹 As I mentioned before, I've been working on writing out the summary and main plot points of the story for the past few months now. I'm aiming to be done with that by the end of next week so I can use it for my next project in my Storyboarding class, which involves creating a storyboard (and more) from an original story. I'm excited to be using my ideas for a class project; it's my favorite part of any of my art classes really. 🔹 This is all a work-in-progress right now, so I hope you guys enjoy what I have to share so far. 😊 🔹 #art #artsy #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #originalart #originalartwork #originalcharacter #digitalart #digital #digitalpainting #creative #digitalartist #photoshop #illustrator #digitaldrawing #conceptart #characterdesign #comic #comicart #comicartist #comicbookart #comicbookartist #comicart #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC
