Did a few more chubby bird drawings for my iOS sticker page (heeeey ludicrous.gg/finches/). Tomorrow I feel like I might make a little gamer bird and maybe… hmm... a cute bubble bath bird? 🩵 #sketchbook #cuteart #drawing #stickers #ohuhumarkers

🖤 Emotive, moody digital paintings. Whimsical creatures. Fat birds. BlueSky hasn’t been working out too well for me so far. If updates slow down you can find me @pocketmole on IG and Threads.
Let Sam explain how Dropout got The Don Hertzfeldt Collection... 🍌 @donhertzfeldtfilms.bsky.social
Video process of my latest painting. The full sized video export was over 20 minutes and it felt like for a huge portion of it I was just painting over the same spots hah. #digitalpainting #moth #procreate #botanicalart #arttherapy
My snowdrop moth piece is all done. This was another painting done for therapy, and it contains a bunch of symbolism that doesn’t mean anything to anyone but me, haha. It was a struggle to finish it, but I got there. 🤍 #procreate #digitalpainting #moth #artistofbluesky #art
I feel like I got lucky at good will today. They had only one frame in the right size (for only $2) and the color happens to compliment the painting well. If anyone has tips for minimizing those scratches I’d love to hear it. #digitalpainting #procreate #thrifting #art #painting
Will I ever finish this painting? Not if my brain keeps blobbin and blorbin the way it has been.
Starting a painting is my least favorite part of the process, because I begin so messily. The whole time I work I think I am creating a small disaster, until all of a sudden a switch flips in my head and I go… oh! Now it’s getting somewhere. #digitalpainting #procreate #arttherapy
My chubby birds are stickers now, if you’re into that sort of thing! Will hopefully have the android version up soon - though I’ll be the first to admit I don’t really know how stickers work on android devices. 🥀 #drawing #sketchbook #cuteart #stickers
Time lapse of my recent roadrunner painting that I made for a friend of mine. Done in Procreate. I’m really into circles and ovals in my compositions right now. 🟡 #digitalart #digitalpainting #timelapse #birdart #animalart
A small peek at the next picture I’m working on. I noticed that several of my recents had similar themes of being dominated by a single color and having a circular frame to the composition. I decided to continue the trend and go with a white (ish) theme this time. #digitalart #procreate #painting
A little video comparing the prints I had done of my recent roadrunner painting. I actually think they both look nice! #digitalpainting #procreate #birds
Opinions needed! When I started these drawings I had no intention of making a sticker pack, so I’m sure I’m missing some specific vibes appropriate for texting. If anyone has ideas for moods, outfits, decorative elements, or anything else I’d love to hear them. 🩷 #drawing #stickerpack #sketchbook

The roadrunner painting is done and I’ve even sent off for a couple of test prints so that I can properly gift it to my lovely friend. 🌵 #digitalpainting #procreate #birds #birdart #roadrunner #desert #cactus
I cleaned up this time lapse a little bit. One of the paintings I did for therapy. #procreate #digitalart #therapy #ocd #painting
I’m excited - just submitted my sticker app to the App Store. It includes about 50 of the cute chubby birds I’ve hand drawn over the past year or so. Fingers crossed that it gets approved. 🩷 #handdrawn #appstore #stickers #cuteart #birbs
I wanted to add a cute option to the collection of Raider.IO background images I’m painting. Whipped up this page of childlike doodles today and I have to say it was pretty fun to work on. It’s nice to do something carefree and silly like this once in a while. #patterns #procreate #worldofwarcraft
Taking a break from working on a painting gift to knock out a couple of tiling patterns. Spent way too long fiddling around with this mushroom one. 🍄🟫 #painting #patterns #mushrooms #digitalart #procreate
A little preview of the art swap piece I’m doing for my friend. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to work on it any more this weekend because I really need to finish the dragon scale pattern for something else. #digitalpainting #birds #art #procreate
Early painting stages on a gift for a friend. We are doing an art swap of birds native to our respective regions. 🧡 #digitalpainting #birds #wip
I really hope this didn't turn into a case of “draw the rest of the owl“ but I wanted to keep the video as concise as possible. The initial sketch is so will-nilly that I almost think the less thought you give it the more organic it can appear. #tutorial #painting #digitalart
Time lapse video showing the making of my most recent painting. I accidentally deleted the frames where I painted the cracks though - whoops. #procreate #painting #digitalart #insomnia
Finished this piece last night. It’s about having a poor night's sleep, which I’ve experienced a lot of recently unfortunately haha. #art #digitalpainting #procreate #animalart #painting
Home alone and feeling cooped up so I went to a coffee shop to work on my latest painting. Mmm Biscoff latte.
I made a short video about how I painted the loads of tiny blooms in my latest picture. There was an error compressing the video for Bluesky, but you can see it on YouTube at the link below. #digitalart #painting #wip youtube.com/shorts/9qp3b...
Is the symbolism a bit on the nose? Yes. Are bunny noses adorable though? Also yes. I have a lot of chamomile flowers to fill in - I might want to make a custom brush to speed up the process. Something new to learn in Procreate as I’ve never done that before. #digitalart #art #painting #wip
I’m not sure BlueSky is working out for me as a platform to share my art. It seems to require a specific sort of effort that I don’t know I have the mental bandwidth for right now. So I thought I’d mention you can find me on IG and Threads under @pocketmole if interested. 🩷
I made chocolate banana muffins and I made way too many.
This is one of the most lovely pixel art creations. The pop of that pale, almost electric purple is so yummy.
