#I’ve been drawing for a year!

[dangus-doo]

I draw a pen doodle every day until I forget

Day 365: Rodimus Prime (& Winston) (Mtmte)

Today marks a year. 3 hundred and sixty-five days of me drawing little pen scribbles in my sketchbook. I had no idea that I had the ability to focus on anything for that long.

Doing these has been so much fun! It was so nice to be able to draw a whole bunch of my favorite characters and get them out in the world for people to see! But at the same time, I don’t really know how much my art has branched out since I started last year.

A lot of the time, these dailies would be the only drawings I would make during the day. It was good consistency, but I don’t think I will grow much as an artist if I keep just doing these every day. I want to do art professionally someday, so I need to grow my art and storytelling significantly. So I think this is going to be the last one of these specific challenge drawings I do.

This doesn’t mean I’m gonna stop posting on Tumblr! I’ve grown to like this place too much. It just might be less often, and hopefully more fully formed artwork. (And it might not be a ballpoint or felt pen.)

For my final drawing of this challenge then, I thought it would be nice to mirror the first drawing I did of this challenge (Hot Rod) with his more mature? Wiser? Older form, Rodimus Prime (and his IDW design is my favorite to draw.)

I also drew my Dog Winston. Because he’s cute. And he’s got a little bow tie!

Thank you all for checking out my art! Whether you saw all 365, or you found one or two. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!

pov: it’s the mid 2000s and you’re learning what love is

#my little pony #mlp g3 #skywishes #star catcher #starwishes #inspired by that tweet that says ‘me really liking a character = me never drawing them’ #because this is my oldest otp ever and I’ve tried drawing them together so many times and never been happy with it #so I decided my first post of the year HAD to be them #they are everything to me #I watched their specials over and over as a little kid and just yearned to have the kind of special and secret closeness they had #I didn’t quite understand it at the time but I certainly do now #anyway. here’s to a year of copious amounts of sappy ship art from me #it’s what I deserve

Simple sketches of the loves. Oda draws Law like a 6 year old when that little guy is like 13 right?? He’s a shitty little traumatized 13 year old??? I wanted to draw him more 13 and less baby (though I won’t lie I love all the art of little law all small and squish).

Edit: I just got to dressrosa btw and haven't formally watched Laws back story. All I know is through fandom osmosis 😔✌️. But I can't help myself from drawing them, my beloveds.

Psst... Commissions Open

#idk if he looks thirteen man #teenagers are just small adults right??? #I looked the same as I do now but shorter and more moody #I also wanna draw him right after his growth spurt where he’s a lanky ass 15-16 year old and penguin and Shachi are all like - #‘why did him and Bepo get huge?! they were the small ones?!?!’ #I like thinking about them #I’ve also been thinking about what if Cora fucking lived man ;-; #I haven’t even gotten to Laws backstory with Cora yet I don’t even know the details #sigh #one piece #trafalgar law #my art #ryeart #trafalgar d water law #art #sketches #corazon #donquixote rosinante #donquixote corazon

Aah, I’m so happy I made it in in time! 💙✨ Merry Christmas, tumblr nation! Here’s a little comic about 03 Usagi and Leo going so see the Rockefeller tree after the events of the Christmas Aliens episode.

Little post about events earlier that night

Also this is literally how maskless Leo looks to me, he’s so moomincore ;

also extremely specific, but barney with his BLUSHFT california vanity plate (inspired by a post by @barneycalhounofficial) and/or gordon with a matching one that says GOLDSRC!

Drawing Gordon is so funny because at first he looks like a teenage boy and then you slap a beard on him and he’s like 30

#despite being a half life fan for years longer than I’ve been a hlvrai fan I think this is my first time drawing fanart for it #my favorite is alyx btw . if you even care #half life #hl #barney calhoun #gordon freeman #freehoun #my art #asks
