Art And Other Things (jk it’s js art)

I recently reread comments under my posts and am wondering why I skimmed over the encouraging compliments some kind souls left. That’s odd of me. I’ll make a mental note to bask in that later.

But that’s not what you came here for. Behold!

A Subtle Improvement

I believe I was going for a baseball fit, like something cute you can wear to a baseball . . . viewing. (I have no idea what it’s called. Bear with me.) But fun fact: I know nothing about baseball, except that it has a song with something about four strikes, and apparently, neither do I possess knowledge about the human eyelashes since I sure did go out all with the those the of above girl.

But I like her lone star earring and cap—both of which I’m surprised I didn’t mess up—and the fact that she looks genuinely happy. Good stuff.

Expect all my drawn characters to have a tooth-decaying joy on their faces.

And I still can’t draw men. PAIN.

Inspired by an Instagram post by a superb artist whose account name I forgot. I lost the link to where I got this, which is annoying.

I’m a bit irked that the details on her face are smudged, but that’s probably my camera’s fault. I wanna steal her jacket.

Did you notice where her headphones are connected? Yup. #stolenidea

An attempt at proportions. I cringed.

Baby fingers.

I’m not too proud of these, but I once heard bad drawings are part of the process, so there.

Aurora fanart

I love the stylized way Aurora was drawn in the 1959 movie. Sure, she didn’t get as much screen time as her fairy godmothers, but did she still slay?

All the way, peeps. All the way.

Anastasia fanart

She’s basically a Disney princess now! I love how the animated movie portrayed Anya. She isn’t quirky, but her character still jumped off the screen. She wasn’t a girlboss but was still confident and assured. And she’s voiced by Meg Ryan, so what more do you need, am I right?

Ignore the weird muck on her elbow.

This one was an experiment with a slight style change, and I’m pretty happy with it.

But a side note: ballerinas don’t touch the curtains like this. What was I thinking? 😭

Ta-da! The last one’s from Pinterest, by the way. Something about a dancing reference.

Inspired by a Pinterest thing.

That Writer Friend™ told me this was how she imagined Odette, and I’m relatively flattered. I nailed the swoosh of her dress, but the lizard-long neck? Goodness no. I’m satisfied enough with her face, but the angle killed me. I had to erase and redraw that seventeen times. Er, ten. Twenty? Somewhere there.

Edit: Okay, looking at it again, that neck is . . . something else. It might have taken away from the rest of her body, which is why the parts below her shoulders look so cramped.

Unfinished Swan Lake art.

What do you think? Should I finish it? 👀

Moon girl on top; 2000s side character vibe girl on the bottom.

Inspired by Marilyn Monroe. If you squint your eyes, you might just see the resemblance.

codename: Cassandra

Round face represenatation! The revolver and hand are a yes for me. *chef’s kiss*

feat. my fingers

I got her proportions right on paper, but they didn’t translate. Tragic, I tell you. An absolute tragedy.

Her upper half, though.✨ But her hair looks a bit wonky. Let me fix that—

Perks of working with a pencil. 😎

Thank you for reading!

Imposter syndrome is more merciful in my art than my writing, which is reassuring and confuddling.

Share what you think, and [inserts what I usually say in these posts]. Yeah, I’m out of practice.

Ta ta! Have a lovely day, folks.
