Hey there #drawingwhileblack I'm Deborah, an animator and OC artist. I've done some freelancing but a lot of what I post is personal art.

So I opted to stopping posting my art here but I forgot to actually say something. I'm not deleting my account but yeaaa I'm not on here like that anymore

Whoops almost forgot to post. I will say I got really into it and all the clothing items and poses come from acnh! You should've seen me looking the full list of tops/dresses to figure out how to dress our villagersonas. Everyone's base colors are their favorite color. (2/2)

About a month ago, my friend was asking our friend group what animal we thought we'd be in animal crossing. She mentioned she thought it would be cool to commission someone to draw us as villagers. As the resident artist, I volunteered as tribute. This has been a fun exercise 1/2

Ngl, Wednesday was disappointing at the least. I've been feeling a lot of emotions and it didn't feel right to just post new art like nothing happened. It's important to acknowledge what you're feeling without letting them consume you. Feel them and then use them as fuel.

Hey, Americans that see this post, have you voted? Do you know what's on your ballot? If not you better make your voice count 11/5. Sitting out isn't going to improve things. Don't like either candidate? Well pick the person that gets us closer to a functional country.

For my last October themed drawing this year, I thought I'd group the ocs with the scarier costumes (although only one or two of them are actually trying to be scary). We have Leith (Jason), Mas (Headless Horseman), Denise (skeleton), and Harun (Dancing Pumpkin Man).

This week we have 3 of my OCs with more homemade costumes. From left to right, we have Ira (mummy), DREA (ghost), and CHIA (robot). Can you tell who's not really feeling the Halloween spirit. Also ngl I can't get over how I drew my boy Ira.

[✊🏾🌺Deborah Pinkney🌺✊🏾 @drpcreates]

When I did my drawing last week, I forgot that last Friday was in October so I'm doing 3 weeks of my own OCtober. Continuing last year's version, by redrawing my OCs in halloween costumes. This week are my spy OCs Tara (unicorn), Simone (princess), and Rielee (angel).

Here comes the queen of losing arm wrestling matches, Sedna Corey. I was hanging out with my dnd group a few weeks ago and we did an impromptu pirate one shot. I wanted to draw my half-orc barbarian who lost 3 different arm wrestling matches. The mobile dice apps did not like me.

I originally thought I'd have something new today but I moved last week and haven't really had the chance. Funny enough I drew this last year when I was moving and never used it. My first apartment experience was something maybe one day I'll draw it but for now, I rest.

Final abandoned digital sketch finally finished, for now. I don't remember why I sketched this but I'm guessing it was after I updated Elissa's design awhile back. As you may see, I was really feeling the light source being behind the characters for this and last week's drawing.

[✊🏾🌺Deborah Pinkney🌺✊🏾 @drpcreates]

Another forgotten sketch now completed. There were 3 different versions of the sketch, I'm glad I was to settle on one. I usually draw this couple being cute together but Mason's got a lot of trauma so things aren't always easy. Crystal may not always get it but she's supportive.

[✊🏾🌺Deborah Pinkney🌺✊🏾 @drpcreates]

I was going to redo some sketchbook sketches but then I found some uncompleted sketches in one of my digital files I use. This sketch was nice to do because I was thinking about Black Butterfly again lately. I really hope I'll sit down and draw her complete story one day.

[✊🏾🌺Deborah Pinkney🌺✊🏾 @drpcreates]

Decided to draw an old unofficial OC I designed back forever ago. I decided to go through my sketchbook again for inspiration this week.

I looooove how the colors of this piece came out. 🥰 This is another art fight attack, this time for @drpcreates
#artfight #artfight2024

Decided to draw one of my sketches from my sketchbook based on one of the stories I was writing in high school. It's always interesting to see how differently the sketch vs digital turn out. The sketch always seems to have more energy.
