🔥PROGRESS UPDATE🔥

I’ve made some progress on my Tina Guo portrait in the last couple of days, and her face is now complete (just a few highlights to add)!
Now time to move on to the rest of the body😊

Hoping that it comes together the way I want it to🤞🏻

A little later in the month than usual, but it's time again to vote for the Middle Grade Marvels book club pick for next month! The random number generator has nominated some great options, so we can't wait to see which book wins for the October pick! Get voting! 😍📚

I've been MIA for a whole month but I'm finally back and I'm bringing you a small life update and my overdue August wrap-up! I read some great books in August and took part in the Trope-ical Readathon readathon, so head over to my blog to find out more! 📚💖

Self portrait
~ Using pencil

Reference: Photo from my wedding day.
Time taken: 6 hours

For my first ever self portrait I’m extremely happy with how it turned out, and I think the experience has really helped me build as an artist.

#selfportrait #portraitdrawing #arttwt #artist

Started on my hair, which was twisted in all sorts of directions on my wedding day, so will be a challenge.

Facially, there’s a couple of touches of white I want to add, but that’ll wait until the end!

Hoping to have this finished in a couple of days🤞🏻

In September, the Middle Grade Marvels will be reading Alice Éclair Spy Extraordinaire: A Recipe for Trouble (#1) by Sarah Todd Taylor!
We are so excited for this pick and can't wait to start this book. If you like reading middle-grade books, join us! #MiddleGradeMarvels 💖📚

The Middle Grade Marvels book club is back after a few months break during the summer, and it's time to vote on the MGM Book of the Month pick for September! We are so excited to see which book will win the vote and what we will all be reading together next month! 💖📚

Facial features are basically finished, just have some final touches to do, and then it’s the shading of the face, and the hair and robe to go…
