Got Out Of Bed Before 14:00 Today, I Expect A Standing Ovation And At Least Two Medals For This Incredible

Got out of bed before 14:00 today, I expect a standing ovation and at least two medals for this incredible feat. You can leave it at my incredibly cluttered, yet meticulously organized desk.

In the meantime, I will be busy on a call with both the king and the prime minister.

I said I would make art, and by god did I do just that (for once)

Here's a little armadillo friend!! I don't know why my mind was immediately set on armadillos when I was looking for something to sketch, but I do know better than to question - t h e m i n d - *insert ominous music*

Now that I think about it, it's probably because we just got armadillos in minecraft lmao

I think he turned out pretty cute! The paws were really fun to put on paper, lots of big, swoopy lines which I love :]

I'm trying to build up some more confidence when it comes to inking, so I forced myself to ignore my anxiety and actually picked up my fineliner for once, instead of just leaving it as a pencil sketch lol

It was really satisfying to see the scales start to pop out from the page, and adding all of the final details in white gel will always be the best part of any art-session (especially all the little hairs on this dude's shell, that was so gratifying) 😌👌

I'll definetly be turning to armadillos more often in the future when I'm looking for sketch material, these funky little guys have so many fun textures, and their cuteness-levels are through the roof TT^TT<3

With all that said, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! ^-^

Me, staring into the void in a headache-induced haze: I hate existing

My sibling (@lukas6246), looking up from the loaf of bread they're slicing and starting the kettle: You could hate it with coffee

When you work out, take a shower, drink a hot beverage, and life suddenly isn't so bleak for a little while

That being said, have this weird piece I'm working on :]

It's a mix of charcoal and watercolour pencils, I'm currently working on cramming some more contrast in there.

It's definetly not perfect lmao, the circles are free-handed, as well as the rendering on the eyeball :']

More often than not, I tend to just kinda wing it instead of making it easy for myself by using a reliable reference lol

Have a good day, friend ^-^

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲
