Freelance Art - Tumblr Posts

Apologies for the silence. Been taking time off social media to recalibrate my mental health.

I’ve been painting pretty manically, working on a professional portfolio of my art. I’ve spent 10 years trying to be a SuCcESsFuL adult the way we’re all told to succeed, and have only met with failure. So, I guess I’m gonna take my chance failing as a freelance artist.

So, while I slowly work on my portfolio art, please enjoy this caricature of ‘OG It Girl’ Clara Bow that I painted this morning to celebrate the completion of my 1st Portfolio Piece~!

I primarily used a brush pack called Sargent’s Oils. My father was an *amazing* caricature artist, and I’ve been kind of obsessed with old pulp artists of the 30s-50s, so the influence kind of rubbed off this work, heh.

This is based off an OLD OLD sketch I drew of Ms. Bow like…5 years ago. I promised myself if I ever got the proper equipment I’d paint it. Now that I do, I figured I’d keep my promise to myself :”3

I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY.

Anyway, I’ve got LOTS of work to do! Wish me luck! It’s this or the loony bin :D
