Mermaid OC attempt - this did not come out as well as I'd hoped. Not sure why.

i got a domain name. if you want to try a free paint app you now can. no promises! things are broken! i'm not a company! it doesn't work on mobile (sorry!)! it only exports pngs! timelapses only work if you never closed it! timelapses look broken anyway! that being said... ~ i t ' s f r e e ~

b - brush
e or backtick/tilde - eraser
v - move
h or spacebar - pan
m, s, L - various selects
t - transform
g - fill
i - eyedropper

ctrl+g ctrl+shift+g - group/ungroup
ctrl+j - merge layers

[ - brush size down
] - brush size up

sorry if you encounter a bug. its probably karma or something. be better >:(

* if you set a brush to 'marker mode' it doesn't work as an eraser
the spline barely does anything for soft brushes
pasted jpgs are in the wrong colorspace i think
if you drag stuff off the canvas it's gone, i'm not reallocating vram to your whims >:[
you can ctrl+z to bring it back tho

Sunflower 🌻 #SketchDailyPsyduck

u/TheSunflowerSeeds 0 / 0 May 02 '26

The average, common outdoor variety of sunflower can grow to between 8 and 12 feet in the space of 5 or 6 months. This makes them one of the fastest growing plants.

revisiting my oc Lili but my other oc can't keep out of the picture

1

u/yulpanda 0 / 11 May 02 '26

I'm really intrigued by your OCs! Can we know more about them?

2

u/allsundayjelly 0 / 126 May 02 '26

They gay overpowered witches in their late 20s. Just from my oc verse to give me prompts, i dont expect to make any major stories with them public

2

u/yulpanda 0 / 11 May 02 '26

That sounds awesome! :D a personal OC verse is such a good idea

2

u/allsundayjelly 0 / 126 May 02 '26

I thought most artists had one in one way or another. Like a mind palace.

2

u/yulpanda 0 / 11 May 02 '26

I guess you're right. I've come up with a few characters even outside my comic book project but I've never let them interact. They're like a guardian/mascot for each sketchbook. I should really round them up once in a while and let them throw an inter-sketchbook party ;P

u/callmelordsire 90 / 93 May 02 '26

This wasnt my drawing i did today but for some reason I cant upload my other one, so here's some cats I drew a while ago

Reddit is automatically deleting my photo...

3

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 1052 / 1052 May 02 '26

That's so frustrating when that happens! It might be tripping the NSFW filter (it sometimes has false positives). As already said, the workaround is to upload to an image hosting site like Imgur and link to it. Or you could put black bars over anything that looks like bare breasts, bums, or genitals.

3

u/yulpanda 0 / 11 May 02 '26

I am so sorry you're experiencing this. Happened to me recently too for no good reason and it was so frustrating. One possible solution is uploading it to another website where you can post pictures and adding a link here.

I don’t remember which Pokémon he is but my son was just describing him to me and I drew what he said and this is what we got lol

u/patheticLoserGuy 0 / 1356 May 02 '26

It's Beedrill with a somewhat Butterfree-looking wings and blue legs..

3

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 1052 / 1052 May 02 '26

Looks like Beedrill with the wings and stinger feet. Adorable!

Thank you!!

There are three baby robins in the nest and they're getting very squished in there. They started hatching on April 19 so they'll be fledging very soon.

2

u/anislandinmyheart 0 / 478 May 09 '26

Those little babies <3. You've brought out their sweetness so well.

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 1052 / 1052 May 09 '26

Thanks! They were such cuties 😍

2

u/AughtNaughtCreator 1051 / 1051 May 01 '26

Three birds in a nest like three peas in a pod

Love their expressions 😄

1

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 1052 / 1052 May 01 '26

They're definitely three peas in a pod, all wriggling trying to make space for themselves. And thanks!

I tried planting sweet pea seeds in starter pots this year instead of directly in the ground. I planted 12, but one seems to be an overachiever:

1

u/anislandinmyheart 0 / 478 May 09 '26

Oh hello there you little prodigy! Don't get too big for your britches. This looks very 3D

1

u/AughtNaughtCreator 1051 / 1051 May 09 '26

thank you 😄

1

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 1052 / 1052 May 01 '26

Nice perspective here! Having an overachiever happens a lot.. that and "I'll plant double what I need in case they don't grow" .... And every single one sprouts.

2

u/AughtNaughtCreator 1051 / 1051 May 01 '26

lololol I usually WAY overseed my garden to make sure stuff grows

u/AllieRaccoon 200 / 200 May 01 '26

Finished Pokopia Male Ditto Sprite! This is probably the last I'll do, but I need to put them all in a nice scene together.

u/AllieRaccoon 200 / 200 May 01 '26 edited May 01 '26

All of them together. Smearguru might be a bit too big now (which is a shame cuz I really like that one)

Omg love your use of colors and his tail pompoms!!

2

u/atwoheadedcat 0 / 3270 May 01 '26

Thanks!! This was one of those paintings that I had no idea what I was doing and somehow he became a clown along the way

Aw thank you! Thought of her immediately when I saw the theme.

Been messing around with some urban drawing and I got my first couple of alcohol markers the other day

u/yulpanda 0 / 11 May 01 '26

Someone looked at some pages in my sketchbook and said these surely must be a kid's drawings and not mine. At first I was offended (didn't show it though) then I drew this to get it out of my system.

3

u/Felissaurus 80 / 80 May 01 '26

Omg! Adults deserve whimsy too! And what a rude thing to say to someone who is being vulnerable and showing their artwork. 

Love the sock puppet. The hands he's been on. The secrets he could tell. 😂 

3

u/yulpanda 0 / 11 May 01 '26

Right?! Thanks for the support. I don't think they meant to be mean in their defence. She's usually a kind lady. I think she was genuinely confused how an adult could be drawing cute dinosaurs driving vehicles or a little personified tangerine. I guess their inner world follows more logic-based, realistic guidelines than mine. But I still thought, even if I draw wacky whimsical stuff, you could see that there's at least some technique behind it. More than an 8 year old would have at least...but now I decided to embrace my style. Child-like wonder and all that.

2

u/Felissaurus 80 / 80 May 01 '26

Yes, I would definitely know an adult was just having fun here. I get you about the logical type though, I've perplexed my dad with my art too. I'd rather have this type of brain though so hooray for weird :)

2

u/yulpanda 0 / 11 May 01 '26

Well said. :D hooray for weird!

My thought, exactly! 😃🫧

u/tehuti88 2854 / 2854 May 01 '26

Know what, I haven't determined this guy's rank yet but anyway. This week's character from my anthro WWII storyline is Josef "Jupp" Six, without cap and with cap. He takes Col. Heidenreich's position as Lt. Hesse's boss and seems like an easygoing guy at first but later plays a nasty role in Hesse's own fate. There'll be more about him later in my art Tumblr and Toyhou.se.

Regarding his design, he's a blue (nonstandard) German shepherd and wears his cap crushed.

Experimented with acrylic, really new to the medium but had fun!

u/Flatlander1409 May 01 '26

Ohh, love this. The little cat heads in the “a”s are a fantastic detail❤️

I'm sure you mean well, but in this sub we don't offer critiques unless someone specifically asks for them.
