Work in progress. tbh I’m mostly posting this as a kick up my own butt to just finish the dumb thing.
(I’ve been dreaming of scraping an illustration folio together lately. I wish I had more free time to do so :<)

I whipped up a quick logo design for this blog to get rid of that floating head thing! 
I&#8217;m also going to stick this in my design portfolio soon because it desperately needs fresh work in it :/

Photoshop doodle. I like quiffs, quiffs are good.

Game of Thrones! Oh Khaleesi my Khaleesi!
This drawing taught a me a lot about my knowledge (or lack thereof&#8230;) of colour/lighting. Up until a couple of weeks ago I didn&#8217;t even have a consistent method of colouring but I think this works for me. This drawing is full of glaring errors but it&#8217;s a start.
Also, this is just a crop of a larger image. I pushed it as far as I could, and learned what I could but I can&#8217;t really salvage it. 
Drawing is very frustrating for me as I feel like such a slow learner, like everything I draw is in a completely different style, and like I still suck so much, especially compared to a lot of artists my age. But I can&#8217;t stop trying!

Biro doodle of Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. I painted it up in Photoshop and I really like how the biro lines look with this textured brush. I need to start working in colour more!

(if you click these they get larger and way better-looking ;))
