more messy painting bc it's fun :] (Patreon)

been pushing for more traditional elements in my digital art lately. since I'm working with traditional mediums more often, I've started noticing that the digital workspace can feel overly smooth and a little bit foreign. to balance things out, I've been using paper textures and gouache/textured brushes to add a rougher feel.

I've always been super inspired by 60s hair and makeup (so many beautiful shapes in the flowing styles + I adore the look of exaggerated lashes, so fun and cartoony!) so I found references and painted a page of colorful busts. the other page is filled with what seems to come to me naturally whenever I put on music and draw (city girl fans already know). blue/purple/pink color palettes are the best all my homies love blues, purples, and pinks 🩵💙🩷💜
