Oh right it’s Friday and…I guess Beginner Art Friday is still a thing? Have, therefore, this sketch of Metis I’ve been attempting to color in the phone app. Probably not done with it but, hey, it’s Friday, time to show progress!

So uh…I heard something about a Beginner Art Friday? And I guess I am not so much beginner as on a long hiatus from digital art, but I recently discovered the Infinite Painter app and wouldn’t you know it the first thing I made on it in attempting to learn its (delightfully intuitive and full featured) controls was this really sketchy Fenris sketch. Should have probably used a direct reference aside from vague recollection of the constant flow of proper Fenris art and screencaps I’ve been reblogging (and referencing for doll design), but it did amuse me that he was the first thing that came to mind for testing a paint app, and I kind of like how it was turning out anyway, so I’ll take this Beginner Art Friday opportunity to share it unblushingly.

Well, mostly unblushingly. My word it’s a rough thing, isn’t it…Fun app, though, so perhaps I shall practice and improve. 🙂

I am in the mood for some Ecce Gratum because Spring Break has at last begun. 🙂

And oh, the list of creative productivity I’d like to tackle while there are no lessons to plan or papers to grade:

Updated (and therefore now behind a cut) with many progress reports and pictures. Spring Break has been fairly productive. 🙂

Peach harvest! Metis the gardener is partial to peaches. Also why oh why did I make his glasses SO green?

So it’s April Fools day and that means the Fandom Bodyswap time. So I, having done very little art for years apart from the occasional Latin Club t-shirt design when I can’t find a student to do the art for it, have taken this opportunity to draw my OC Metis from Warriors Such As (and, probably, every thing I shall ever write from here on out. Metis is cool, OK?).

Camera shots of messy sketches, gah. I might try scanning them later. I might actually try lining & digitally coloring them too, but it’s truly years since I did that…let’s see if I remember anything 🙂

Leaf and Root: The Herb-Lore Rhyme

I published the herb-lore drawings thus far in a DA Tavern post! First time I’ve actually gone through with posting something there (have only fiddled around with it a bit before, it’s not all that user friendly). Kind of looks cool all together there though.

Leaf and Root: The Herb-Lore Rhyme

Three more pages for Metis’ herb-lore book are finished!

I’ve been researching the other Thedosian plants and thinking about writing some more lines of the poem and making more pages for the book.

Spring break, day 2: taking notes & making really rough sketches of Dragon Age plants so I can expand the Herb Lore poem with more rhyming lines and drawings. …
