This big guy loves his “ride rides”! 🥹

A larger than life golden doodle leans his head out of an open car window and enjoys the crisp autumn air during one of his beloved “ride rides”.

I painted this illustration of an oceanic whitetip shark for a good friend of mine. While researching I learned that sharks don’t have bones - it’s all cartilage aside from their teeth 🤯

#art #painting #shark #oceanicwhitetip #noai #humanart
Illustration of an oceanic whitetip shark. They’re known for their rounded, white tipped fins and aggressive behavior. They are often shown with a group of pilot fish who will live with them for life - the fish find the shark snacks and the shark offers the fish protection. This was painted in procreate and no AI is ever used in my art.

Decided to sketch up a cute little elephant over my break. His flowers may seem scraggly but he thinks they're the most beautiful blue blossoms.

Quick sketch of a purple elephant carrying blue flowers with his trunk. The flowers look scraggly but he thinks they're beautiful the way they are. Digital art done in Procreate. No AI is ever used in my art.

Psst - take a break from doomscrolling and come hang out with this guy for a sec. He's also grumpy and full of despair but seeing you helps.

Illustration of a cheetah against a deep teal background as rain falls from the sky. I focused on texture and opted for hatch marks. No AI is ever used in my art. Enjoy!

A quick sketch focusing on value rather than color. I set the layers to luminosity and change it back to color at the end. It's fun to see the result at the end!

Colorful wooded landscape using values instead of color to paint a picture. A warm, coral sun warms the teal and purple foliage. I drew this in Procreate. No AI is ever used in my art. I hope you enjoy!

A day late but here’s a fun little drawing I did for #Caturday yesterday in honor of my fellow Leos. I've been experimenting with different styles and saw something similar a while ago (idk who the artist was). What do you guys think?

I'm trying out some different art styles and had such a fun time drawing this spicy guy. What other grumpy animals should I try drawing?

PS - anyone else notice how the chunky, orange ones always seem...passionate?

Illustration of a spicy orange cat reclining back on a cushion as he looks at you like you're wasting his time. Done in Procreate. No AI is ever used in my art. I hope you enjoy!

I embraced the cringe and went through some of my first digital drawings.. My first portrait from imagination (March '24) and a snip from a recent drawing (May 2025)

It's crazy what a year of consistent practice can do. 🤯

#art #progress #digitalart #noai
My first digital portrait from imagination, drawn in March 2024. I think we can sum this one up with "yikes." A snip of a drawing from May 2025 (still a WIP but I'm taking a break). The proportions are better, way more detail, and they at least look mostly human. I've been consistently drawing on my iPad for a year and can honestly say the biggest difference between then and now is my confidence. I'm excited to come back to this next year and see what I've learned.

I’m struggling to find inspo atm so I’m cheating a bit and posting a painting I did last year. I promise I’ll have something new for you all soon!

And I can’t believe we’re still having this discussion but everyone deserves to love and be loved how they want. Period.

#art #paint #pride #lgbtq
A silhouette of two gentlemen sharing a kiss under an umbrella while streams of colorful “rain” fall from above. Acrylic drip painting canvas. An original piece I completed in 2024. Everyone deserves to love and be loved however they want. As long as it’s consensual, it’s none of anyone’s business. The fact we’re still having this discussion in 2025 is absolutely bonkers to me. For anyone who thinks otherwise, here are my 🪙🪙: “It’s a sin.” Why do you care where anyone else spends eternity? I, for one, want to be where Ru Paul is. “It’s not natural.” Neither are your lip injections, Alexis, but we’re all minding our business. “[literally any other argument]” Again, why do you care? It’s weird you care so much.

This was one of my first digital drawings and the piece that made me fall in love with drawing details and leaving little Easter eggs to find. Let’s see some of your favorite pieces!

Scene of a run down animal control office. Cords and trash clutter the office while animals fill the cages in the other room. Two rats work together to get the master key in an attempt to release the furry prisoners. Digital drawing done in Procreate, 2025. No AI is ever used in my art.

Cool formation I accidentally made in procreate. It's not #seashells but I still think it's pretty cool.

Literally my *exact* thought when I drew this piece. 14 hours and a whole damn scene later…

Love your art, btw! Thanks for sharing! ☺️

Literally my exact thought when I started this piece. Then suddenly it was 14 hours later and I had a whole damn scene drawn out. 😅

Hi Phil!! I also like to draw little monsters. Here’s a quick sketch from a few months ago - they can be friends! 🥹

This was hard a piece to get through but I'm gutted by what's happening and I needed to get it out. I'm so grateful to have my art as an outlet.

Artists, let's see some of the pieces you felt most connected to. TIA for sharing 🫶🏻
