Welcome to Gaia! ::

Day #1
Theme: Birthday Card WIP
Time spent: Around an hour or more for this wip - the whole card took a lot longer because I was so indecisive.



Comments: Made a birthday card for a dear family member. Ended up very different from what I had in mind but they were happy with it so I'm satisfied.
I forgot to take a photo of the final finished card...oops! So we get only the wip one.
This was done in April. I completely forgot to post - there's a lot going on irl rn and I just want to take a break and a breather honestly... I will try to post a bit more.

Day #3
Theme: Mr. APPLe
Time spent: Around an hour or less.



Comments: Surprisingly I quite like how this turned out! Didn't as much while I was painting with the alcohol markers (Shuttle Art - they smell so strong!) but during the touch-ups with pastels and white pen, it turned out quite to my liking.
Was trying to do a painterly style with the markers but I still have trouble blending with the chisel tips. Thankfully the reference I used for this had those sharp non-blended edges so it was a bit less dissapointing.
I do have a very limited palette so I couldn't match up to the colors or get a proper in between shades but I made do with the pastels.
Another thing I noticed was that they tend to make the edges blurry-fuzzy and I didn't like that. Easily resolved by adding lineart but I did forget to add to his stem (I fixed it now) so you can see the fuzziness bit better there.
