Hopefully it's okay I post here this early on - I'm new here but this is a little sampling of my artwork.

I know the photo isn't too bright and it's on Instagram, sorry, lol...but this is a pastel of a mountain landscape I did recently:

And here's a portrait of a French ballet dancer I did last year I really like:



I have to post my other pictures, too, but later!

I do a lot of realist-type sketches but I find when I work with colors I lean more towards impressionism, even a little bit of abstract (but nothing too abstract, I still like having a subject instead of just random colors and shapes and stuff). I love working with pastels; I've tried oils, watercolors (I kind of like them but I still am not into painting), acrylics and didn't connect with them as much as with pastels.

Very good!

Thank you! <3 I'm planning on doing more portraits - I just need to restock on my pencils... Art store trip tomorrow!

Nice! I am sadly becoming detached from traditional media, since drawing on a tablet makes it so much easier to correct mistakes (Command+Z I love you!). XD;; But I'm hoping by getting back into Sailor Moon I'll also start using watercolors again.
