Here's the BTS of how I painted the Hangzhou West Lake piece! Getting better at perspective (slightly)

It's new year's eve! A little recap of some of the art I've made and published this year! Plenty of portraits, and I'm also getting into painting backgrounds of places I've been! Apparently it seems like I gravitate towards saturated colours when I paint, which is... a surprise? The more you know!

(Apologies for not having a picture of me - didn't have any good ones)

Almost forgot to post this - a little study of a pigeon I did some time ago! I saw it when I was walking on a rainy day - we've got lots of them where I live and they're really not scared of people! Not sure if I got the shading/colouring of the feathers right, animal anatomy always confuses me

It's the end of the year! Here's my latest Substack: instead of a personal essay, it's a recap of how I completed Drawabox's 250 box challenge!

A study of the West Lake in Hangzhou that I visited earlier this year - the scenery sure is gorgeous! Would highly recommend to check it out!

Considering I'm already using a lot of FOSS programs, I'm really thinking about switching to Linux - the only non-negotiable is whether it's compatible with my Wacom tablet... one day...

Enjoying some Christmas decorations tonight!

Just a little reminder that all art here is made without AI!
