HAPPY SKYRIM DAY In an effort to actually use up some of my pile of sketchbooks and work on painting things other than portraits/character design I’ve begun a new moleskine watercolor sketchbook recently for the sole purpose of painting some of my video game screenshots with gouache. It’s been a challenge, but with time and practice I’m hopeful that by the end of this sketchbook the improvement will be noticeable. I hope you’ll follow along on this journey with me into new and exciting territory! Today’s painting, which is actually the first page in this sketchbook is a quick study of some mountains and trees from one of my many Skyrim screenshots, swipe for the image I was referencing while doing this warm up painting to get back into working with gouache. I’ll continue to use my other mediums while I work through this sketchbook, but every now and then you might see a gouache page pop up among the marker, watercolor, and digital illustrations on my feed. Since Skyrim turns 11 years old today, I thought this page that was done from a reference of the mountains outside Riverwood was fitting :) Sketchbook stickers are from the following @tishpins @sugaredteashop @unicornpaper @woolblossom @msillustrationsshop @disadoodles @dorkfacecreates @mysticalartsillustration and others whom I sadly don’t have the Instagram usernames for . . #gouachelandscape #gouachesketchbook #gouache #brushstrokes #detailedpainting #doitfortheprocess #gouachestudy #landscapeartwork #landscapeart #landscapepainting #gouachepaints #natureinspired #inspiredbynature #artshare #artsyaesthetic #paintingeveryday #dailyartwork #dailyart #carveouttimeforart #abstractlandscapepainting #landscapestudy #skyrim #theelderscrolls #dailypainting #creativelife #creativityexplode #share_art #artcommunity #the100daychallenge #100daychallenge (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck1Av8EOLgD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday, after much deliberation, I rearranged my enamel pins. Changing from a completely randomly mixed set up, to having groups for similar pins, for example all the Disney Princess pins are now sitting together. So now everything is more organised I thought I'd share with you some of the beautiful pins I have collected from fellow creators. Swipe to see them up close and maybe find some new artists to follow 😊 #awwtopia Slide 2: @silversuspect and @fuzziesartdesigns Slide 3: @teeturtle Slide 4:@lizharrydesign @emilyharveyart @dorkfacecreates and @mimishadraw Slide 5: @highlandbilby Slide 6: @mainstreetcreativity and @unetouchedecouleurs https://www.instagram.com/p/CiGTZ5zLFxH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I moved into my flat, the lovely @gemmavictoria1 brought me a @dorkfacecreates Bob's Burgers tea towel. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love the show so I didn't want to ruin the towel so I trimmed it down and upcycled a frame from my stash in film reel washi tape (next slide shows the frame). Quite chuffed with how it's turned out 😊😊 #dorkfacecreates #BobsBurgers #BelcherFamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHNQu0LxpN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[GIFTED] it’s the perfect time to delve in to that pile of beautiful unread books, time to escape from the darkest timeline. So this weekend’s wraps are these bookish Secrets of the Moor set from @espionagebeauty These debuting in the Heart of Mine Nail Mail Monthly but good news guys, these are still available to buy on their web shop! This cute bookmark is from @dorkfacecreates too! On my blog post for these, I talk about the importance of supporting our favourite artists and small businesses because they have next to no support in this tough time. Don’t forget, even if you can’t buy from them there are other ways to support them, by sharing their stuff on your social media, or by tagging people on their posts. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Uqi6PD7vX/?igshid=9c18mmdiio08

I made my own pin display hoop so that @dorkfacecreates tarot pins had their own hoop, now to hang it up with all my other display hoops 😊 #dorkfacecreates #TarotCards #TarotCardsPin #Pins https://www.instagram.com/p/CcshSekNC8M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My blue lady painting from @dorkfacecreates arrived and has been hung up in the hallway of the flat so that she can be seen whenever you walk to and from the lounge. She's gorgeous and is the perfect pop of colour for this wall! #Paintings #Original #Artwork #Painting https://www.instagram.com/p/CaH7_t9t_p8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today won’t last forever so do some meaningful things today. Tell someone you love them. Tell a stranger you love their dress, or hair, or whole look. Leave a cute note in the middle of a library book you’re returning. Support a small business like @dorkfacecreates or @harty.bakes or @charlies_nail_art_supplies this can be by buying something, by sharing their work or by tagging people in their posts. Donate to charity, even a small amount. Just do anything that’ll leave a little bit of brightness in the world. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9WMHDRA832/?igshid=8hxmkms5mqmj
