There is something so fun about swatching, its by favorite part of moving in to a new sketchbook. I love that you have a no-show sketchbook too!

I don't know why I'm so obsessed with this piece of corn, but I am!

An original colour drawing of a corn cob. The drawing measures 5 by 7 inches and will be a lovely addition to kitchen décor.

Love to see the Brochet!

pixstitch @pixstitch.bsky.social · Apr 3

Super excited for my brochet collab with CrustysCustoms this Saturday @ 2pm (EDT) to teach him how to crochet!

Proud to be a part of his Movember campaign where he raised a ton of money to support Men's health.

Join us and throw him a follow!

This is a mood.

I'm fooling around with alcohol markers underneath my colored pencils. The end result is on the left (alcohol markers and Prisma Premiers). Compared to a piece using the same reference in 2023 with Crayola's.

Wait, this makes so much more sense to me than it should have. I guess I'm so used to feeling like crap, I don't notice the wear and tear drawing has on me.

Check them out! I love everything about this!

I made eco-friendly art supplies. I made watercolor paints stored in upcycled bottle caps, mini watercolor books, travel sets, handmade papers, and container-less eco-paint refills.

It just stuns me what people can do with a simple piece of wire and a stone!

Still one of my favorite colored pencil pieces!

Ploe @ploegette.bsky.social · Nov 26

I know I'm known mainly for color, but over the past year and a half I've been trying to get better and working with color. This is the last piece that I did. 5x7 with prismacolor premiers.

I've found that the beauty blender make up sponges work great for dark areas as well. You can buy them pretty cheap.

Snuggle-birds

A pair of cockatiel birds sitting on a branch. They have yellow crests, orange spots on their cheecks and grey bodies. The left cockatiel has its crest erect and is facing the viewer, the bird on the right has its crest lowered and is snuggling its companion. The background goes from light blue in the top of the image to yellow on the bottom. The pencil strokes follow the directions of the birds' crests.

A throw back to when I first started working with colored pencils and bring a little variety into my art, as opposed to always living in grayscale...
