[edit: a few hours later] So just refined some of the areas, added the rain and some small finishing touches. With this I'm actually kinda caught up...whooo. I'm gonna have to stick to extremely simple stuff for the next couple of days because work has totally piled up while I've been a bit sick this past week =__=;;;

But I haven't drawn anything with a rainy theme in AGES...and there was a time when I'd draw a bajillion rainy day artworks a year....interesting to see how my drawing habits have changed heh. It was raining today so I thought something like this would be nice.

THIS IS ALMOST DONE lol....so close but it's super late and I really need some sleep. So posting it as it is now XD

[edit much later during the day ORZ] IT IS DONE
Lol I'm barely scraping through this challenge and I keep painting INCREASINGLY complex stuff like WHY MOONY WHY CAN'T YOU CHILL FOR A CHANGE and learn to paint things simply and quickly OTL

BUUUUT I really had a lot of fun painting this, and since I love fantasy I'm glad I painted something on a theme I really personally enjoy a lot. Her hair was rather fun to paint (although it gave me a lot of pain XD) Felt like an eternity but it only took 6 hours...I'm surprised??!?!

aah another WIP today too, I'm struggling to get these done on time loll..well I'll have to paint something much simpler for day 04 to be able to catch up >_<;;;

Another sketch today too, had to work all night so didn't have a chance to work on yesterday's artwork. Got some deadlines to push...so much for having caught up just the other day =__=;;;

[Edit much much later the next day] Yuss after much confusion I finally manged to finish this...not that it was difficult but there were so many ways in which this could've been painted...got a bit overwhelmed for a bit. But once I just focused on the painting instead of worrying about all the variables, it was a very relaxing and smooth process overall. Gotta love cherry blossoms A

Cherry Blossoms are blooming everywhere so I can't help but want to draw them all day =w=

[edit many many hours later ewe] OKAY so I went for a totally different artwork..wasn't too happy with the previous sketch. But THIS...wow it was a lot of fun to paint. All the yummy details were really fun to do. And now I feel like having one of these.........too bad I'm broke AF XD

I'm still behind by a day sigh........
Let's hope this super simple artwork helps me catch up XD

Yuss first day done! Okay I inked and coloured this in under 4 hours loool. Honestly I'm pretty surprised at how decent it turned out...usually it takes ages for me to finish coloured lined stuff with a painterly style. But the amazing part about this kind of challenge is that is pushes you to think of efficient ways to get things done. For example, for her hair I separated the sections into a few different layers which made it a lot easier to shade without me having to zoom in and do a tonne of clean-ups on overlapping areas. ANYWAYS i looooove mint choco ice cream and I still remember this awesome mint choco gelato I had in Singapore years ago. I still crave it * A * I actually sketched this on my tab a few days ago but I thought it'd be a good way to start this challenge. The sketch can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg9__HolRFM/?taken-by=noxmoony_is_a_dork

Yuss so it's almost the Bengali New Year...I mean it's tomorrow, so yeah.
Because of that I thought I'd paint something inspired by that uwu
It's the sketch for today, but I'll have to reposition this to another day since I want to finish it in time for tomorrow.

Really simple, a portrait..of a boy...amidst some flowers. But should be fun to paint however ohoho

Felt like doing a landscape sketch...and I really love lighthouses so this is what came of it. Would be nice if it turned out to have a soft sunset or evening kind of ambiance.

It's been chilly for a few days thanks to the rain, so I thought something a bit cozy would be nice. STILL super behind sigh TT_TT

Lol this is turning into a daily sketch challenge 😅
But anyways, still got tonnes of work...so lagging behind.
I wanted to go for something simple and quick with this one..something cute but with a slight edge to it. I love short hair but recently I've been doing a lot of long haired characters, so I thought it'd be fun to do this. And piercings always look fun =w=

A smiling boy with sunflowers...hehe can't go wrong with that 🌻

Okay so my tablet was acting up, but I'm sooo sleepy lol so I had to somehow do this sketch. I wanted to draw a ballerina...would be nice to play around with some different types of textured brushes for her dress 😊

Felt like drawing my OC from last year...haven't drawn her since then.
She can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7G17wWrHoQ

She has a thing for sweet stuff hehe, so I thought I'd draw her nomming on a doughnut...I might change it to something else later but for now it's a doughnuttttt 🍩

Just a simple bookish school boy =w=

Honestly after working all night, didn't have much in my mind....
so yeah simple is bestt

I love birds and I love the seaaa, so yeah. Super indulgent sketch lol.
I haven't been to the seaside in like what 7 years!?! Dayum that's way too long T^T
Hope I can afford a vacation to the seaside soon =w=

Hmm something nice about lamps in the evening eh -w-

I'd always feel so sleepy by the time school finished haha, I'd often fall asleep during the last few classes =w= So something inspired by the soft fuzzy sleepy feelings warm sunshine in the afternoon brings about 🐑🐑💤😴

Yeeah something simple but I wanted to play with negative space here. Although the sketch looks pretty weird but anyways hopefully the finished artwork will do the idea some justice heh 😅

Just felt like drawing hands....and rings. Hmm this might be interesting to work on uwu

Well I was listening to Tulips by SNUPER so that inspired this. Not too happy with the sketch but it captures the overall idea I guess 🌷

[edit a few hours later] It is finished!! Wooo honestly I'm fairly happy with how this turned out...especially the ambiance. It's not perfect by any means, but hey it was done in less than a day and it's something detailed and not super half assed for a change, and I had a lot of fun painting this (excluding the power cuts). I including a crop because DETAILS~ LOOK AT THEM, they will do you good >3>

sigh the power keeps going out so I haven't been able to fully complete it yet, but I'll finish it up later on after the electricity stabilises somewhat and I don't risk corrupting this whole artwork =__=;;;

[Edit: a billion hours later the next day] It's done~ I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Wanted something soft and pastel. I'd have loved to make it look all nice and painterly and stuff but I had to go for a cell shaded look since I was trying to finish it quick. But it turned out pretty interesting looking and I had fun playing with textures and effects...it's been a while since I did that so I really enjoyed that part a lot.

Lol since I'm so behind making a simple one for today. But I'm too tired so here's a sketch for now. Will have to finish it up later on tomorrow -_-

[EDIT: a few days later] I has finally finished zis. Well let's just say I was rushing like mad to get it done in 5 hours...yeah. I'm just glad it's done, I wish I was A BETTER ARTIST so I could paint it like 10x better.....but OH WELL i still suck. Anyways, still I enjoyed doing the lineart and I liked painting the melon soda thingy....also the phone (so random lol). I really need to PAINT SIMPLE STUFF ......like things that can be done in 2 hours max, so I can catch up but I keep painting detailed stuff so that doesn't help. For this I experimented with a very old brush of mine, saved a lot of time. But probably would've been faster to do this in Clip Studio Paint haha. Whatevsssss (〃⌒∇⌒)

Yep, another wip for today too. Just when I thought I'd caught up. But I think I should focus on getting ample sleep everyday so my routine doesn't get any more messed up than it already is XDD But I have a good feeling about this painting. Doodled it while listening to O Sole Mio by SF9. Honestly felt like painting something directly inspired by the world in the MV but I know it'd take me way too long to figure something like that out, so I'll have to try it after Intense Art April is done haha 😅
