"Azure Stare" by Leanore

This artwork was created in 2021 using watercolor, gouache, and colored pencils on some unspectacular watercolor paper. There's a funny reason why she has such elegantly elongated facial features. So, the reason that her face is so long is because I wasn't properly positioned when working on this painting. I was looking at her from a more horizontal angle than I should have. This lead to me seeing the artwork more "squished" than it actually was. By the time I realized what had happened I was already a couple layers into the process and decided I actually liked how dramatic it made her facial features look.

I can't recall if I actually did a sketch for this one. I do know that I started the rendering process with watercolors, then added some gouache, and then colored pencils. I know that I ended up repeating this process a couple of times before I got to this point. I honestly can't see myself ever NOT being proud of this one.

This artwork is featured in my First Artbook, available for purchase in the shop!

I have a 3 part "Let's Make an Art" mini-series in the editing phase... Which is great... other than the fact that it means I have to re-watch 2+ hours of myself talking and drawing in order to edit it down into 3 coherent chunks of watchable content with even a mild entertainment value. I posted a Behind the Scenes Exclusive to my Ko-Fi supporters. It's neat. Anyway, that's all for this little bloggy woggy. I dunno why I typed that. No, I'm not procrastinating on editing... why would you...

I've Been Thinking... is that ever good?

I have no shortage of places that I could post my nonsense. What I do seem to have a shortage of, is attention span. I often forget to post to, write on, or update things. However, I've recently been getting much better at that sort of thing. Maybe it's an improvement in overall mental health. Whatever it is, I'm not complaining. That's what brings us here, now. I keep forgetting that my website is more than just a shop for me to sell prints in or a portfolio to post my art to. It's a whole...
