#tiny little pencils

[littleobelia]

Harry drifted gently into waking from a pleasant dream in which he had grown duck’s feet and was paddling around in a pond surrounded by swirling black water lilies, blooming in full ripeness. He had a feeling that something totally tremendous had happened, but wasn't sure what it was.

This was a reference to the Björk song Pagan Poetry. I borrowed a lot from her lyrics, including songs from her latest album Fossora.

the divine, the grotesque

#tears of the kindom spoilers #tears of the kingdom #legend of zelda #zelda #the light dragon #caro art #i think that zelda should have Come Back Wrong. as a treat #honestly i’m of the opinion that it doesn’t make any sense that she didn’t! #either make her a fucked up little creature or don’t bring her back at all. it felt like there were very little consequences in the long run #for this momentous decision that she made #the final fight at the end of the game fucking completely whipped ass though. SO cool #anyway [me clenching my apple pencil in my hand and fighting back tears while drawing this] i love tiny lineart this is great i’m having fun #also there’s three versions because i liked playing with all the overlay modes. ok that’s it bye

M'aiq The Alfiq is the best mod, actually.

Inigo would 100% pick him up like Long Cat. Allow my shitty doodle to demonstrate:

Mod by @dawns-beauty

Please go download it. I giggle with glee every time I come across M'aiq now.

Meow, meow, have a cute cat Mario illustration to celebrate marioday. I been in the mood to draw Mario lately probably because i’m excited for the Mario that comes out in April and definitely reminds me my childhood when I play Mario galaxy 2 on the wii and Mario games I played on ds and 3ds growing such the Mario and Luigi RPG series.

Your probably why cat Mario? One it my favourite Mario power up and I love cats and currently favourite mario game is Super Mario 3D world plus bowser fury the controls are fun and gameplay is top notch, I just running around as cat Mario climbing and jumping all over the place. 

Also I to do some experimenting on this piece by using some water pen first as a base and my regular Holbein watercolours set and added some mixed media elements as well with acrylic markers and coloured pencils to add a bit more shading and texture to this illustration. 

#mario #super mario #cat mario #marioday #watercolour #mix media #coloured pencils #arylic markers #mar10 day #holbein watercolour #super mario bros #still a little sad that water pens scratch the paper a tiny bit :’) thankfully it just around the ears on main Mario

Dying about stick figures rn (Patreon)

#Doodles #AvA #Decided that since all of AvM Season 3 is out and compiled that would be a good thing to watch - and also all of Part V to start on Part VI #Because eating a whole bunch of A Thing at once is totally not a recipe for Things To Happen in my brain lol #Nah I'm happy about it ♪ I keep Meaning to do other things and then- :P Such is the way #Anyway it's been too long since I've drawn them <3 And I realized I have everyone's colours in pencil now! Not just ink! #Makes for some chunky lads at times - Red probably got the worst of it overall lol - but it's decently fun :D #My drawing teeny-tiny was amped up since y'know. They're stick figures - but did not take into account that my pencils are a little wide #Did not change after discovering this either lol you cannot remove me from my love of doodling tiny #Love 'em ♥ #I still hold my fondness for The Dark Lord/The Chosen One! Yes I've seen all of Part V I just mentioned that! Lol #They are husbands I'm not in denial you're in denial #And then The King and Purple just kinda completely took over my attention lol ♪ I love them <3 #Flawed lads both of them! Puzzle pieces shaped like each other's broken hearts #Nothing kills me faster than adopted kids crossing the touch barrier with their adopted parent and being open and safe with each other I die #I'm quite happy with Purple's hug there ah <3 For that reason but also the way his arms are wrapped around his dad haha #It's cute! :D I'm pleased ♫ #I can imagine a lot of these in the animated style and honestly it's got me a little itching to give it a go #There's a reason stick figure animation is so popular! Beginner-friendly haha

ok as an artist i personally find traditional painting to be. really really annoying. like. i do not have the patience for it and i just find it to be really frustrating to set up and actually do and i end up not liking the results. i find that there's little room for mistakes and trying to fix them usually ends up with me making 50 other ones, paints can be so inconsistent and having to rely on availability and certain brands to continue making the paint is really inconvenient, not to mention expensive. spending a bunch of time trying to mix the right shade of paint, only for it to go down a completely different shade of colour and not being able to do anything about it is so frustrating as someone who likes consistency and having things just, y'know, not change colour as soon as it dries. plus, they all use different chemicals and can go off really easily or change textures and i am just not ok with having all my materials having an expiration date like food. lead and graphite pencils just don't do that and they can last for years, they're more reliable. every paint is drastically different and trying to find the right one is not only time consuming but, again, expensive, and i don't even see the point in experimenting when most of my materials end up not even getting used if i don't like using them. plus, i'm just.... really impatient. waiting for paint to dry sucks and is why i much prefer digital or just drawing something because i don't need to wait for anything, it just works. and then when i do want to take my time and work slowly for a better result, it dries too fast. it's kinda hellish trying to balance that time, especially considering how inconsistent paints are.

i like to use guidelines when doing art and i find painting straight onto a canvas to be really tricky because there's a lack of direction for me to actually paint. i'm at a complete loss at what to do when i pick up a brush because i can't map it out first without risking screwing up the paint. there's just so many things to keep track of and so much wet paint to avoid and i just do not have the mind for it. putting colours on a canvas and praying that it works just isn't it for me and requires a discipline that i just don't wanna involve myself with. painting is also just like... really exhausting and kinda painful. i got some pretty bad back issues and my arms tire and get sore easily and quickly when i'm standing in front of a canvas. it's a really physical activity for me and i just don't find something to be very fun to do at all when it's physically hurting me. i know drawing on a canvas has this issue too, which is why i prefer sketchbooks. sitting down and drawing something that doesn't break my entire spine every time i do it is much more preferrable than questioning if i should go to the doctor every time i make a brushstroke, lol

that's not to say that there's nothing i like about painting though! i can paint simple little things, and i like doing that. i like mixing colours with a palette knife and i find it fun and even a little relaxing. i painted some cute little chibi cardboard cutouts of the mario brothers one time and i found that to be really fun and i think i'd like to do that again! but apart from that, i just do not have the patience for it. i love the look of traditional paintings and i find many to be really beautiful, but i could never get into actually doing it myself because i hate the process. i'm content with just sketching and doing digital stuff because that's more fun to me and less stressful of a process to do. it's fun, it allows for more mistakes, it's easier to build up layers of shading and lines, not to mention using building up a figure with guidelines is super helpful with visualising what i want it to look like, and i can just erase something if i don't want it there or want to change something. it just makes sense to me.

tl;dr i dont like painting because it's inconsistent, expensive, time-consuming, directionless, frustrating and it makes my back hurt really bad. i'll just stick to drawing stuff :)

#vent #artist vent #i hate painting #i hate it so much and i just cannot understand it nor do i have the patience for it #i seriously had a crack at it and i just find it to be so annoying #there's so much preparation and i'd much prefer just whipping out a pencil and eraser and scribbling something down #to be fair though i do enjoy other art mediums that require more preparation #i find crafts to be fun and i really like working with air dry clay #using clay is just creating a little creature and i really quite like it a lot #making little cardboard guys is fun if not a bit tricky sometimes because my hands are so big compared to the tiny bits of carboard im usin #but it's very fun and cardboard is easy to get #clay is not so easy to get but you can get a lot of it and make many things with it #the only things i really dont like about clay is fingerprints and the fear of having your art literally explode when you fire it up #but other than that? fun! #painting? not fun! #paint is so messy and i don't like having goopy stuff getting stuck on me and all over my fingers all the time funnily enough #if i bump into something (which is very likely for me because i am clumsy) then oouuguh there goes all the paint its everywhere now #oh my god you know what i hate the most. i hate oil paints. i hate them so much. #the smell gives me bad headaches and makes me feel faint and it's hard to clean and dispose of and it's just more chemicals to deal with #it's just acrylic but more annoying #i don't think it's edible either which is. frustrating #it's also harder to clean out if you get stained with it (which is very likely because paint is messy) #i just dislike oil materials in general. they smell weird and they do not wash off. i still have oil pastel stains on one of my favourite- #-shirts despite the fact that it has been washed multiple times. and it took several days and so much fucking scrubbing to get- #-it out of my nails and off my hands completely. actual hellscape. #i know graphite and lead pencils would never betray me like this #pencils are so reliable and i love them <3 #pencils and drawing equipment in general are just more reliable and don't expire or develop inconsistent textures (except erasers for some- #-reason) and they don't! hurt! my! back! #like i'm over here needing to do the riker maneuver to sit down after i paint my back hurts so bad

Words don't come as easily when things are face to face. Well, at least at the same size...when you can hold someone's whole life in your hand, something seems to compel deep thoughts and feelings from within, and you want to open yourself bare to one another. It's a different world, a different point of view. It's beautiful.

After months of saying I'd get around to it, finally sculpted Cordula's hearing aids. They are TEENSY and I still have more sanding to do after I bake them lol. Also made a cane that DEFINITELY will be sanded a bit for her so :)

#bjd posting #you can TELL how tiny they are by the scissors lol #cordula #its slightly bulky but. I havent sculpted w clay since elementary school so please forgive me. it'll get sanded after it bakes to hopefully #be smoother :) and then ill cover it w a high gloss varnish and paint in some parts :) #the small bits are her hearing aid pieces that go in and behind her ear; some small balls to test out earrings for another bigger doll; a #little marker/pencil since shes big into doodling and art :) #they are SO tiny rn tho that it's hard to tell i think? but trust me ok #idk HOW ill get wire between each of the hearing aid pieces but. ill figure it out. probably

Happy New Year 2024 everyone, from me and Madia!

#2024 #happy new year! #kittens #bengal kittens #I gotta make a kitten update post so much has happened this week #I have never had a happier new year than I did celebrating with this tiny kitten #she snuggled like this part of the time but when I wrote my year end reflection before midnight #she was chasing and biting my pencil and sitting on my journal #and it was just so endearing and sweet and I'm- #I love her #I love her SO MUCH #my special little baby

[blujayonthewing]

for a kid that was both extremely into, like, the borrowers and Mice Having Adventures type media AND extremely into insects it's really weird that I never got extremely into fairies

#tiny little guys with insect wings? baby jay? no? huh #I wasn't like. NOT into fairies I guess but they didn't interest me especially #searching my heart and guts for how much of this is because Fairies Are Girlish but honestly I don't think that's a huge factor either #like you'd think a little girl who loves insects AND Thumbelina would particularly love her turning into a fairy at the end but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #flitting about being ethereal and doing sparkly magic never interested me as much as arietty clock writing with a big big big pencil #about me
