I saw Quaxly’s design and my brain immediately thought of the old Donald Duck MS Paint meme.

I drew this using my fancy laptop.

I’m an adult

‘L'écharpe.’  Microsoft Paint.

A portrait that’s been sitting in my files for a few eons now!

‘Look Forward to Better’ (+ detail shots).  Microsoft Paint.

I struggled for the longest time with how I wanted to finish this, but then the little plant earrings I ordered came in and solved everything!  I’ve started work with a new job that I love, but it means that I have a little less time to unwind with drawing.  That makes those moments of being able to doodle all the more precious, though.

Ironically, I forgot to give her earrings. 

‘Rest.’  Microsoft Paint.

Happy New Year!  Grew a little bored of playing Minecraft while sick, so I cleaned up a messy sketch!  Appropriately named, since I don’t think I’ve slept this much since I was a baby! 

As always, please be safe, wash your hands and wear your mask, and God bless <3

‘My Champion.’  Microsoft Paint + Pixlr.

Decided to revisit and revise this portrait of my sweet husband. :)  It’s still a bit rough, but better!

Realism isn’t my forte in the least, but it’s still neat to see shapes and colors slowly come to resemble a face.  I hope that I get better so that I can better capture his smile.

Photo study.  Microsoft Paint + Pixlr for edits.

A quick photo study from last night!  It’s rough, but it was nice seeing how my color selection skills have improved.  There’s still room for growth!

‘Looking Forward.’  Microsoft Paint + Pixlr.

A doodle that I love despite being unsure of how to finish it for the longest time!  I drew the background in Paint, warped it in Pixlr randomly, realized I liked it, and then put it together in Paint again.  I used a picture of myself as a reference for posing!  

For anyone wondering, since I can’t use layers on MS Paint, I make the background as a separate file from the main piece and then transparently paste the original drawing onto the background.  It’s not quite as effective as using a more sophisticated program, but it’s still fun figuring out how to work around such a simple program’s limitations!

‘Blue Cords.’  Microsoft Paint.

I spent the day struggling with what I wanted in the background, but a blue rectangle will do!

Decided to try the #artvsartist thing.  I’m not super fond of taking pictures of myself, so this was the best I could offer!

Some of these are a little older, but I think that’s okay given this is my first time participating in this meme, lol.

‘Winter Magic.’  Microsoft Paint.

A redraw/revisit to ‘First of December’, an old favorite!  One of the things I miss most about my older style is how I used colors.  Still, it’s cool to see how my style has grown and evolved over the years!

First of December.  Microsoft Paint, 2015.

The second of two holiday drawings!  Though this one has a little bit of age, it remains to be one of my favorite personal drawings.

Reblogging this because I still really like it. :)

‘Pink n’ Purple.’  Microsoft Paint.

A doodle made while visiting family!  The color choice was my husband’s recommendation. :)
