helloooo folks! it has been a Hot Second since i've been around on scratch - sophomore year has been quite the epic adventure :D this summer, i went into a digital art phase - and i wanted to share it on here since a lot of my interest in digital art art came from friends i have on here! it was very transformatory and i got to experiment a lot, and i eventually found some consistent semblance of an art style by the end. it's a well overdue project - but at least i'm sharing it in the right year? without further ado, do enjoy the vibes <3 ═════ 1 / swc promo for july 2023! i drew this early june, it technically falls into a summer month? i very distinctly remember making the sketch during one-act intermissions ahaha 2 / this is one of my favorite pieces! this was the result of emotions after the first day of finals - freshman finals was definitely part of a Not Great life era. i feel like the colors capture some of the mayhem of that time, and i think it's neat how the different colors on the text spell different things! 3 / i showed my friend in orchestra the previous drawing and she thought it was super cool, so we made one together! it kind of ended up looking like a face xD also - thank you to @aquadax_the_dragon for sending me the tutorial on how to make these <3 4-5 / drawing of one of my irl best friends based on a photo! the first one has a geometric-ish background, and the other one is more realistic to the photo 6 / ohh this one was a lot of fun!! i remember trying to center it around letting go of toxicity, and also being inspired by spiderverse? had a blast with lighting here :D 7-8 / HOOHOO this is where art improvement begins. #7 is of a spur-of-the-moment oc, syhar - she first came into existence when i was first getting sick (finals burnout! woohoo!) this is the second time i drew them! if you go on to #8, you can see the four times i drew them (the first time was done in like five minutes in sickness haze asdlkjg) the fourth day something just clicked, and i ended up unlocking an art style i really loved! it's one you'll definitely see throughout the rest of this hehe 9-12 / artfight refs! probably my favorite thing here - i explored my newfound art style with these, and definitely improved in learning how to draw faces. (and i drew a male! whoa!) thanks to for helping out with a few design choices and for co-creating kaz and skyler with me <3 13-16 / artfight requires some sort of 'icon' as a thumbnail, so that's what these were! 17-22 / artfight attacks - , , , @/piper_paints, somebody i forgot! but not on scratch, and ! 23 / unfinished drawing of an irl best friend! i liked where this was going a lot, just didn't have the motivation to finish it </3 24 / spur of the moment oc! think my friend named her reniya, but i don't remember anymore? completely improvised my way through this one; the hair was really fun to make though haha 25 / birthday gift for an old friend of mine! i've made a tradition of drawing her something digitally every year for the past three years :) 26 / unfinished sketch of what was going to be a gift for my aunt and uncle <3 ═════ ❖ thumbnail designed in canva and inspired by (love ya <3) ❖ art done in procreate ❖ music - youth by glass animals!
