Forgot to mention the new book I’m reading—The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. #books #reading #bookstagram #currentlyreading #kindle #kindlepaperwhite

I haven’t felt inspired to draw much lately but flipping through my inspirational scrapbook made me want to do it again (that’s why I keep it around!). And of course I tried drawing my beloved Elsa. #art #drawing #sketchbook #fanart #frozen #instaart

For a long time now I’ve been struggling to copy a screenshot of Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. I’m STILL struggling with it, obviously. :/ #art #drawing #sketchbook #instaart #got #gameofthrones

Journaling on my beloved typewriter. I don’t mind you reading this—I’m just reporting on my family’s new deck. #journaling

My beautiful character Myra from an upcoming novel. She has textured hair and it’s kinda hard to shade in all the zig-zags. Also, I’ve started a habit of commenting on the sides of my sketches. Oh, and check out my beautiful Rotring mechanical pencil! Got it for Yule last year. #art #sketchbook #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram

Tried drawing that hard picture of Daenerys from memory... just an experiment. #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram

Well, it’s not perfect, but it’s passable. ^_^ Drawn from a game of thrones screenshot. #gameofthrones #instaart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #sketchbook

Is this not the most beautiful mechanical pencil you’ve ever seen??? So much fun to draw with! #rotring

Finally used my copic markers again! After viewing some romance art online I felt compelled to make a romantic picture of my own. Features the two leads from the novel I’m working on. I’d rather not say anything more about the story though. #instaart #artistsoninstagram #copicmarkers

Broke out my watercolors again! I’ve colored this sketch before a couple of times with different media, but this is the first time I’ve used watercolor. Sorry, took me so long to copy my reference correctly that I’m kind of milking the sketch this came from XD #artistsoninstagram #instaart

More monochrome watercolors! Can you tell I like blue? I was practicing painting fur. #artistsoninstagram #instaart
