Some #unalome #lotus combinations I doodled a while ago while trying to nail down a final design. I'm still trying! 😄#tattoodesign #spirituality #spiritualtattoo ift.tt/2nKAfda
12/365 - #dailydraw. Just a quick one because I was tired. Half the battle is just sitting down with the intention to practise. #figuredrawing #dailysketch #deliberatepractice #draweverydayforayear #draweverydamnday ift.tt/32r4hkL
11/365 - #dailydraw. This was meant to be Padme Amidala, but it didn't really go to plan. I recently heard the phrase, "and then the art gods crush your soul with the next drawing." Yup. #winsomelosesome #dailydrawings #drawdaily #draweverydamnday #daily… ift.tt/2I0KG3d

9/365 - #dailydraw - still going strong, but I've developed the bad habit of not posting every day and also wanting to spend more time on each of them. My colouring skills aren't great, but I gave it a go because I got bored of just black and white. #dra… ift.tt/2LsdH8x
8\365 #dailydraw. I drew this twice and was tempted to try a third time. I dislike this so much, but it's useful in showing me how far I have to go. #figuredrawing #dailysketch #deliberatepractice #draweverydayforayear #draweverydamnday #tombowfudenosuke… ift.tt/32fN0Lc
7/365 #dailydraw #dailysketch I really didn't like this one, the perspective was difficult in the reference and I was tired after a long day. #draweverydayforayear #draweverydamnday #pentelbrushpen #tombowfudenosuke ift.tt/2HDpOyz
6/365 - Thanks to @hampshirevegan for challenging me to this one. Not only was the reference picture male, but also black and I'm not sure I've ever gone out of my way to draw a different ethnicity. 😅 I still think he looks a little feminine but in m… ift.tt/2MIBDHR

Today's #dailydraw. Mostly pen, and I erased most of my pencil. I didn't necessarily like it at first but it grew on me. #draweverydamnday #dailysketch #pendrawing #nudedrawing #artisticnude #curvywoman ift.tt/2HrsUpm
I struggle to draw men 🤣 something about them always looks effeminate. I know some obvious things, like his hand is too small and his neck is a little too thin. Plus I really didn't capture the smoulder, he looks mildly disgusted... Oh well, more pra… ift.tt/2HjUO6H

Trying to draw with more frequency and under time constraints to improve fluidity and loosen up. First of many #dailydrawings! #drawdaily #draweverydamnday #pencilsketch #prismacolor #beautifulwoman #womenwithtattoos #badassbabes ift.tt/2zhu1TU
And the third of the three queens, #Cersei. I didn't enjoy this one, the sketch was ok but when I began painting it was tough not to just give up, I felt it was going so badly. I persevered! Although Cersei was a monster, I always felt bad for her becaus… bit.ly/31E4dhI
Out of all the #GameofThrones character developments I think I enjoyed Sansa's the most. I really didn't like her in the beginning, she was a whiny little Princess! By the end however I really respected her. Who was your favourite? #sansastark #watercolo… bit.ly/31CjYFZ
