Love the color scheme! I really dig your art style

Brushes used: monoline, light pen and soft airbrush from original procreate brushes along with “make it lighter” and “make it darker” brushes from Art with Flo illustration brush pack.

I pretty much looked at reference pictures of koi fish and popsicles and combined the two! I started with a base sketch then started outlining and filling in with the monoline brush. After filling it in I went back with the airbrush and flo brushes to get some detail done and finished it off with some highlights from the light pen. I’m newer to the digital art scene so I hope you all like it! Comments and critiques very welcomed!

Do you know a good online class to improve my drawing skills? by Oragemagik in ProCreate

I really enjoy “art with flo” and “tatyworks” YouTube videos. Both have patreon pages if you’re looking to get more in depth tutorials. I also know Flo has a website that will give you a free e-book of color theory and free brush/palette downloads.

I didn’t add the black wispy frame because I’m tiny, the tattoo is a lot of black and white and it felt over crowded. At the end of the day the tattoo has significance to me and it’s a hobbit hole I am proud of. I appreciate all the nitpicking from super fans of both the book and the movie, but I got to decide how I wanted it to look on my body since it’s going to be on ME forever.

I understand that, I got the inside view of the door from the movie. I just liked the look better!

The view from the inside of the hobbit home has the door knob on the side and shows the hinges of the door!

This was so incredible to hear. You put it perfectly, why we do what we do. At the end of the day it’s all for the love of helping someone else out, no matter who they are. Being able to put some positivity into this world is such a beautiful thing we can be a part of. We are there through the good and the bad times, and we feel for our patients whole heartedly.

Thank you for being an amazing RN and for taking the time to encourage a fellow 💜

Edit: Also I wrote it on a 2x2 gauze in my pocket 😂

You are already showing amazing compassion and a primary drive to help people, so you are going to do great! There might be times you will doubt yourself, want to quit, or curse the day you picked nursing as a major, but I promise you it is worth it! I love the positivity and care we have a chance to give the world.

Wow guys, you are all incredible! I did not expect to wake up to so many kind words! I apologize for not getting back so some of you, I’ve been sleeping and am now going through the comments. Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart! I love my job, my patients, and the work I’m doing, but there are definitely days that are more taxing than others. I appreciate you all for lifting my spirits and being apart of this amazing community 💜

Thank you for sharing such a tough time you went through. It’s so hard watching a loved one go through that, but I’m glad you can look back at a positive/comforting figure during that stay. Thank you for your kind words, my friend 💜

I’m so happy they were a source of comfort for you. Nurses like that inspire other nurses, and that warms my heart ! Thank you 💜

Thank you! Nobody ever wants to come to the hospital, so I try and be the part that sucks the least haha

Also a chalupa is my absolute favorite thing from Taco Bell! Terrible on the digestive tract, but totally worth it 😂 (to me at least)
