Still really dislike drawing digitally, but I decided to give Krita a proper try. I really like it for doodling and stuff, though my usual paper-focused workflow means it probably won't get much use outside of comic page organizing (already used to Gimp for post-scan clean-up).

Internet's cut 'cause I'm too broke to pay for it, so I'm just gonna upload some sketches via mobile and possibly turn data off afterwards. Maybe someday I'll live somewhere that doesn't charge $100 a month for a decent connection.
Anyway, it's a study from photo followed by style imitation/referencing. Marked sensitive for nudity, as usual.
Inking practice since it had been almost two months since I touched the crow quill (I blame the lack of self-control caused by being mostly-offline and in the dark for over half a year).
Not really meant to look good, tbh—main purpose was just to practice line control and zone out while doing so (hatching like this is sorta meditative for me).

Been a while since I uploaded a pic, so have some practice sketches.
Looks better now that I can scan stuff instead of having to use a crappy phone camera. :V
Old sketches from last week, where I realized why erasing my pencils was suddenly more difficult after getting different pencils. (cw: nudity)
Now that I have electricity, though, it shouldn't be an issue. Do initial sketches, use light table to clean up with mechanical pencil on another paper, ink on a third. Because digital art doesn't have a monopoly on layers.

Crow quill and acrylic ink (which suuuucks, I want my India ink back).

Quick doodle because I want to get Splatoon 2 someday and felt like doodling a Marina.
Something sketchy and not nude this time. #art #mastoart #sketch

First pic inked with a crow quill. Definitely prefer it over the usual pens. (cw: nudity)
Never thought I'd ever see an official Touhou manga in English but I'm glad it happened. Especially since it's my favorite of the book spinoffs.
Should probably draw some fanart soon. :V
Today's practice. Learned that using acrylic as correction fluid only works when you have a scanner available (editing it out via the phone was a pain). Also, few things bring down the mood quicker than seeing obvious mistakes right before uploading.

I was able to plug in my computer at a relative's place, and I'm glad to see it survived the hurricane.
This was also a reminder as to how much I dislike drawing digitally but hey, the Cintiq also made it.

One day I'm gonna post something that *isn't* practice. That'll have to wait until the lights come back (two months after hurricane Maria and we're still dark. because Puerto Rico).

First public toot. Just a practice mermaid to unrust with the pens. (cw: nudity)
