Today's warmup sketches on rodents ✨ still trying to do these as often as possible but I feel like I struggle with time and energy. Key is not feeling like I failed if I skip them for a day or two, that would kill my mood and I wouldn't come back to it the next time I can!

There are a few free online tools that rotate references for you so you can focus on drawing, I've been using https://t.co/psIpfJyOJq (I'm not affiliated with them or anything, just really enjoying the tool)

Today while I was doing my warmups I realised one thing 💡

[Ariabba @_ariabba]

It made my lines more decisive and my drawings more dynamic and I think this gave them a nicer flow instead of the really static ones I used to do a few years ago.

The Timelapse Process is going to be uploaded for my Patreons soon 🫶

Small thread to show my painting process on this one:

Finally I add some colour, there are several ways to add colours to a greyscale painting (I show some of them on my yt channel). This one has been done with gradient maps.

My muse has been pointing at things for the last 3 months so here's a mermaid for him

It's my fav month of the year cause it's MerMay and also today it's my birthday so I had to draw something 😊

Some of my latest scenes and mood inspired warmups 🌟

[Ariabba @_ariabba]

This was to see the impact of inserting a character in an environment to see what consequences it can have on the mood of the scene

Today's drawing 🌟

I talked about how to build good drawing and practice habits in my video on how to improve your art: https://t.co/B1gifb1WQa

[Ariabba @_ariabba]

Please do not believe in such a thing as you have to be born with an art talent. Drawing is a skill anyone can learn and it's developed with time, practice and consistency, more on this thread ⬇️

[Ariabba @_ariabba]

Being consistent though can be really though, and that's why finding a good way to build an habit to practice every day is really important, and there are ways to do it
