Miscellaneous Drawings #15

Hi everyone, 

Sorry about the accidental weird post I made. If you saw it in your feed, it was due to me trying to show a technical difficulty in my writing group to someone else. It was not meant to be posted as a blog post. 😁

To make up for that mistake, here is an actual post... 


A drawing of Medea, she first appeared in this post. Medea is a magical artist who has embroidery magic. Medea is, also, a character in my Dorian Gray trilogy, who you will learn more about in the future. 😉

A drawing of Fiáina. I had not drawn her since 2023, and I do not know why. So, I decided to draw her relaxing after a run through the woods. Her appearance changes based on the seasons and in this drawing it is summer. This image was featured in a monthly showcase my writing group ran here (I recommend checking out my fellow writer's art, writing, and blogs, too). 



A drawing of Denisse who I have not drawn since my style changed. I decided it would be fun to draw her again.  



This fairy was fun. I created her through a fun character generator, and I thought the randomness would be an interesting limitation when it came to character creation.

My Art from Mermay 2025 (Part One)


 You can find the official prompt list for Mermay here

I've known about Mermay for several years but for a long time never participated. I liked seeing people's mermaid art, but when May came around I tended to forget. However, this year I decided to finally participate. The drawings you will see started out as sketches (in my sketchbook), and then were turned into digital art afterwards. (In a post some other time, I may show the photos of the sketches). 

Like my previous Inktober posts, this will be divided into parts. I do have Inktober art from last year, however, I will need to find the sketchbook I was using, before I can post all of it. But, I hope to post that art soon before next October. 

 Let's begin: 

#1 Mirror, this was the first sketch I did for Mermay. I decided to draw a mermaid looking at herself in a mirror underwater. 



#2 Cosmic, I decided to draw a mermaid in a sea that was present in the sky.  



#3 Hair, I decided to draw what a mermaid's hair might look like while underwater.



#4 Axolotl, a mermaid with her pet axolotl. I decided that it was like owning a poodle for mermaids. The mermaid's outfit and hair was based on 18th century clothes. 


#5 Drama, this mermaid is performing in a play where the mermaids play different creatures from land. In this play, she is acting as a bird.

Miscellaneous Drawings #14

 

Hello everyone, 

I thought it was time to do another drawing post. I have some watercolor drawings and Inktober art from last year, which I intend to share in a future post, so stay tuned. For now let me show you my drawings: 

A drawing of Edith. I wanted to draw a full body drawing her since I had not done that, yet. 


A drawing inspired by Blackbriar's song "Cicada." I enjoyed drawing her hair and the wings. 


This was a drawing that I did with mixed media: the above image is a digital drawing, and 
the background image is a watercolor painting. This drawing was featured in a showcase, my writing group ran here


I decided to play around with backgrounds and here is a potrait of my character, Genevieve. Her face is a bit different than some of my other characters. So, I thought she would be fun to draw.
