Today is my dad’s birthday, and I gave him this watercolor drawing of SSB Goku!  And yes, I’m excited for the new Super arc! Might pass on the Beerus/Super remake. Originally, I was going to do Super Saiyan 3, but because of the new Super stuff that was announced on Saturday, I chose Super Saiyan Blue instead. Date started and completed: 1/26/26 Total time: About 1 hour https://wimbearn.neocities.org  |  linktr.ee/wimbearn Donations and commissions:  https://ko-fi.com/wimbearn

Haven't done watercolor in a while, so here's Shampoo's cat form from Ranma 1/2. This version of cat Shampoo is based on her remake design.

Happy 20th Anniversary to this awesome Cartoon Network show that I barely remembered as a kid! I started on this watercolor drawing on 11/6 and finished on 11/7! I watched all of the series at the beginning of November from 11/3-11/6 and enjoyed all 3 seasons. Wish there was a fourth, but the series was cancelled in 2006.

Title: Alone 14 x 17 inches Medium: Ink Date: 6/6/2024 Sometimes, I feel alone. I don't know what to do. When I scroll on social media, I feel alone. When I'm sitting in the house with nothing to do, I feel alone.  I want to capture that emotion in this drawing. I'm doing okay now. I know that I have friends and family that are there with me. Inside the broken heart, I wrote down random quotes I found online about loneliness. I also used one of my dry ink pens for the shadow behind her. https://linktr.ee/wimbearn Help me keep SaGia running! Ko-fi | Artistree

I made these 3 traditional drawings Monday. I was going to post these on my other socials yesterday, but due to my anxiety getting worse (I have a hard time sleeping all of a sudden), I had to cancel posting them. However, they will be posted at a later date. I will be posting here early and it's also on my Ko-fi page. I hope to recover soon. Love and Coffee Love and Coffee 18 x 24 inches Ink I don't like coffee, but I wanted to draw a woman enjoying her cup of coffee. Panic Panic 14 x 17 inches Ink This drawing is based on my current battle with anxiety. Recently (it started last week), I felt my heart pump fast and I had a hard time sleeping. This anxiety is affecting my life. Hero vs. Goose Hero vs. Goose 9 x 12 inches Watercolor pencils, ink One, this is a homage to Dragon Quest 1's Famicom box art. Two, geese are my least favorite bird. We have some geese at my college's campus but dear gosh, I'm afraid of going near one. I don't trust them at all and I...

For this drawing, originally I was going to do a lion. But it ended up turning into a cheetah with wings. When I drew this in my art class last week, my professor said "the Lion King!" and she also told me she had never seen the movie, which surprised me. I used watercolor pencils for the color and before I applied those, I sketched out my drawing first. Finished this yesterday. This isn't an assignment for my advanced drawing class since I'm 100% done, this was just for fun. ----- Help me reach my goal: https://ko-fi.com/wimbearn I now take commissions over at: https://artistree.io/wimbearn

Just an original drawing I made for fun yesterday while I was at my art class. I was just staring at this piece of paper while it was blank because I ran out of stuff to draw. This isn’t an assignment or anything since I’m all done with advanced drawing. —— Help me reach my goal: ko-fi.com/wimbearn

The final two drawings for my advanced drawing class. That's it! I'm done! I've definitely have seen some improvement with my drawings. I hope to use these improvements (based on my professor's feedback) in the future. For drawing #7 (top drawing; green alien girl), like drawing #4 , this drawing is based on an old drawing that I did on my iPad from 2021. I used watercolor. I added blue and white acrylic paint for the stars. I messed up with the right side of her jacket (where the orange circle is located at) and I was afraid of making a hole in the drawing so I tried my best to cover it up by adding some more watercolor on top. Original drawing from 2021 (I remember saying she looked like an alien version of Android 18 XD): I chose version 1 (no pupils) for drawing #7. Transferring a digital drawing to traditionally was difficult. I did sketch it in my sketchbook and tried to replicate that sketch to the big drawing. To be honest, I liked it when I did this drawing dig...

 For context, see my posts  New Media #1  and  New Media #2/Drawing #1 ---------------------- This New Media drawing is my final one. I haven't painted in a while, so using gouache in class was very satisfying. ------ And here's the next drawing. Only two more to go. This one, I was afraid of wasting ink, so this is the best I could do! I first did a quick sketch in my sketchbook and made a master copy on this big piece of paper. I used white acrylic paint around the people standing at the beach. ko-fi.com/wimbearn

  For context, see my posts  New Media #1  and  New Media #2/Drawing #1 ---------------------- I got nothing much to say, but this time, I used watercolor pencils instead of colored pencils (my favorite to use) and wow, this turned out nice. And a pretty fitting drawing for me to submit as this week's drawing assignment because Wednesday (2/14) is Valentine's Day which I forgot about when I started this piece last week. Wish I made her eyes pink.  Her sword is inspired by "The Three Musketeers". I'm getting Zorro vibes. ko-fi.com/wimbearn

 For context, see my posts  New Media #1  and  New Media #2/Drawing #1 ---------------------- 2 new drawings I completed this week for my advanced drawing class. I am halfway through the quarter! I only have one more New Media assignment to go and 4 more drawing assignments left (I believe there's a total of 8). For this New Media drawing, I used watercolor pencils. I have previously used it before (if you've seen a post on this blog or on my Instagram/DeviantArt/Tumblr/Twitter) so I am very familiar with using them. I've gotten much more experimental. I didn't bring my giant drawing pad to class so I borrowed one of my professor's paper that was already sitting on my desk (it's actually for the beginner drawing students for an assignment they're doing). However, she forgot to give me Bristol paper but this drawing still turned out nice on regular paper. So originally, this was gonna use some yellow colors (I was gonna draw a sunshine type female character;...

 For context, see my posts New Media #1 and New Media #2/Drawing #1 -------------------------- Wow… this drawing turned out nice. And it’s exactly how I pictured it. So, here’s a backstory. I was feeling sad last week and I had an idea of a water goddess crying. I came up with a name for this drawing: “Sea of Tears”. I wasn’t really crying last week, just some depression kicked in.  I used different blue colored pencils and Micropens. I’m getting Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride vibes from looking at this drawing (probably because of the colors I used?). Man, I forgot about that movie. Let me know what you think! Take care. ko-fi.com/wimbearn

 For context, see my posts New Media #1 and New Media #2/Drawing #1 -------------------------------- Just a quick and pretty short post. From my Instagram (@wimbearn): "I got to experiment with black paper using a white pencil. I’m not used to drawing on different colored paper except white. But it took me some getting used to. This dragon character reminds me of a mix between Pokémon’s Charizard and Dragon Tales’s Zak. One of my friends in class even said that it reminded them of a Dragon Tales character." ------------------------ ko-fi.com/wimbearn

 If you want context, see New Media #1 and New Media #2/Drawing 1 . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, this original drawing took a different direction than I imagined.  I was picturing a space pirate woman with a black space background behind her (I was thinking of the anime the Slayers (I have watched some episodes of that anime but it's been a while and I'm planning on getting back into it) and maybe Outlaw Star).  But when I worked on this drawing, it turned into a western theme or something. Speaking of having a black space background, coloring most of the background black would take up a lot of ink on a giant piece of paper (I'm glad I have extra ink pens as backup)! Maybe I might do it as a non art assignment instead, I don't know. I was experimenting with different patterns as well. I got a little creative and very experimental and my professor liked my drawing in-person; an improvement over the first dr...

If you haven’t seen New Media #1 yet, do check it out for context. ——- This week, I bring you some new original art. I feel like people won’t care about it since it’s original art, but I put some love into these drawings. I don’t understand why fanart gets more attention; maybe because of how recognizable the characters are (like Mickey Mouse); I made a post last year about Original Art vs. Fanart. For New Media #2, I worked with dry pastels in class. It was messy and got all over my pants and shirt! Also, dry pastels are fragile and if they hit the floor, they shatter/break. I didn’t create one. I made two dry pastel drawings! Finally, for my first drawing assignment (at-home) for my art class, I made something up in my head. A student in the class said that they should be named Gary and Sabrina. My professor said that the duo should have a tv show or comic. I used artist ink pens and color pencils for the color. I tried to get good lighting for the photo (I took these photos last...

This is my first time using oil pastels for my advanced drawing class. Although it’s muddy and messy, the colors are vibrant. For my advanced drawing class, this assignment is called “New Media” and we experiment with different materials. This is the first one; I have four left to go!  As for my other assignment titled “Drawing”, I said in my one page paper that I’m aiming for a comic book “manga” look (similar to my original comic although that is digital not traditional), so I’m gonna be using ink pens. There are a total of 8 drawing assignments I have to do. Basically for this class, I get to draw anything I want! I am the only advanced drawing student in the class while the rest are beginner drawing students (I’m taking it in person in the mornings Tues. and Thursdays). My professor gave me a gift today: more art supplies because she said I’m the best student in class 😊. She's super nice; I took her beginner drawing class last year.

 

 I found an article on CNN that interested me and it talked about Ketanji Brown Jackson being elected and changes around her. I picked out some important info and wrote them down. I also drew my logo/symbol. The symbol is the Black Lives Matter symbol, but I wanted to have a star inside the fist with a US Flag behind. I picked out some images and chose some of the important stuff I wrote from the article. I only used 4 of the 5 I wrote down. I start preparation. I felt like having more images and for the text, instead of using white paper, I decided to use some of the background for the Ketanji Brown Jackson image. Here are my final three images: For this one, I wanted to use an image of Ketanji Brown Jackson standing behind the US Supreme Court, speaking to the audience to show that she is giving faith to the world. I chose and quoted Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton from the CNN article. I wanted to show Faith in this image. For the second one I finished, I picked an image of a couple ...
