The Reference vs the Art 🖼️ ✨

Has anyone seen the tv show “The Bear?”

I had never heard of it before until after I did a poll on my instagram asking my followers who should I draw next and people overwhelmingly requested her Ayo Edibiri. So naturally, I had to go watch the show myself to see what the hype is about and it’s actually a really good show I like it!!

Another Art Reference Guide of the Hoya Flower
The Hoya is a genus of tropical vines known for their waxy, star-shaped, fragrant flowers. It is by far one of my favorite houseplants. I made this art reference sheet (part 2) that displays the variety of these incredibly underrated flowers. #plant #hoya #art #flowers #artreferen

4/100 My first male portrait! I think my favourite part is the hair. It was fun to do shorter hair and mix in highlights. The hardest part was his nose 😤 and yes I did not paint in his earring. I had at first and then I kept painting over it and so I just got rid of it. #letschat #lemo
