Analia the Bee

I made this after finding a bee that I thought was dead, but was actually still alive, barely.

I don't usually name my specimens, but I asked my best friend if she wanted a bee named after her and she said "yes" (btw her name is pronounced "ah-nah-LEE-ah", not "an-NAH-lia").

Of all the animals I've found, this one made me the saddest.

Here are some pictures of the bee right after I found it and thought it was dead:

And here are some pictures I took of it today:

Rest In Peace, small bee friend.

grogu is going to be bouncing off the walls with the amount of sweets cobb’s gonna buy for him

a bit late, but happy holidays! especially to @exx-bee , who this piece is for >:)

experimenting today with layer borders/stroke effects to quickly portray high-detail/texture stuff, like this wip still life of a knitting project...! doing better than past times i've tried this tip, i think

it's not very fast, bc i find i have to rly slow down + be intentional abt my lines or it starts looking pretty artificial (u know all those awful "comic book lines" filters in selfie editing apps + stuff? yeah.) but it's still certainly faster than outlining individual stitches

there's already an INCREDIBLE wealth of very nicely crafted shortcut brushes for this kind of thing in the csp assets store, including specifically for knitting stitches etc! but in my experience a lot of those have a pretty clean/crisp art style, and when ur married to very textured/grungy brushes like me, they end up looking very pasted-in or clip-art-y. :') it's such a shame bc i wish i could use all the great stuff that already exists but usually it just doesn't gel w my stuff. (<-guy who needs to learn how to make my OWN brushes)

Anne Shirley was right I am glad to live in a world with Octobers

everything about how you draw papyrus is correct, i am in need of a silly doodle of the lad

he has made. sammich :]

Daily Doc Doodle! This one took about an hour and a half. The daily poem attached to this one is: Early Frost by Scott Cairn

Full poem under the cut!

This morning the world’s white face reminds us that life intends to become serious again. And the same loud birds that all summer long annoyed us with their high attitudes and chatter silently line the gibbet of the fence a little stunned, chastened enough. They look as if they’re waiting for things to grow worse, but are watching the house, as if somewhere in their dim memories they recall something about this abandoned garden that could save them. The neighbor’s dog has also learned to wake without exaggeration. And the neighbor himself has made it to his car with less noise, starting the small engine with a kind of reverence. At the window his wife witnesses this bleak tableau, blinking her eyes, silent. I fill the feeders to the top and cart them to the tree, hurrying back inside to leave the morning to these ridiculous birds, who, reminded, find the rough shelters, bow, and then feed.

Honestly if any artist (NOT CORPORATION/STUDIO/ETC.) copied or even traced my background pieces (no characters) I would not even be mad I would encourage it only because I want to spread the fun of doing backgrounds to every artists...I promise, backgrounds are not scary or hard!!! My mindset is that I treat them as characters almost and just draw what I feel/want to draw rather than pulling from realism (I'm drawing cartoon characters with cartoon anatomy why tf should I draw a realistic bg?? Makes no sense.) I hope once they get their footing in background art they feel comfortable enough to branch out and surpass me.

why is lettuce so fucking Good

Good good morning lovelies 💕💕💕

It’s 38 degrees this morning which means tea, cardigans and bundling up to keep warm

Take a peak at Bluey on my mirror!!!
