Cutie ♡

I’m finally sharing my new self-portrait with y’all. This is the first artwork I’ve created in Procreate on my new iPad. It took me a while to get used to the program but I’m pretty happy with it. It’s been a while since my last post so I want to say thank you and welcome to all of my new followers! I appreciate ya! 😊⁠ 🔹⁠ Buy me a coffee here: www.ko-fi.com/crystalcurie⁠ I appreciate all your support~ ☕️❤️⁠ 🔹 ⁠ #art #arts #commissionsopen #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #draw #drawing #doodle #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook #illustrator #artwork #digitalart #selfportrait #character #selfie #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #traditionalart #originalartwork #instaartist #instadraw #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artist #artists #crystalcurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwwyZOFv_Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s been a tumultuous year so far to say the least, and I think we could all use the vibes Jewelia here is emanating right now. If you’ve been following me for a while, you may recognize this art format as my 100 Themes Challenge (See #Crystal_100TC if you’d like to see more related works). This piece took me the longest time to complete so far (at least 7 hours alone on the zentangle-like patterns) though here it is in all it’s glory. I finished it a while back, and I wish I’d shared it sooner ‘cause now I’m starting to see all my mistakes lol. Anyways, there’s no time like the present! Stay safe and sane~ ✌🏼⁠⠀ P.S. See my Mandala Drawing story while you can for the WIP pics. I may take it down next week. 👀⁠⠀ 🔹 ⁠ ⁠⠀ #art #arts #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #draw #drawing #doodle #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook #illustrator #artwork #mandala #originalcharacter #characterdesign #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #traditionalart #digitalart #originalartwork #instaartist #instadraw #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #Crystal_100challenge #artist #CrystalCurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CKQNcApjn8P/?igshid=1czb4e0fnj5tt

A very belated anniversary gift for my bf. I still miss him dearly. 😔💙💚 It’s been a rough and lonely year not being able to see him that often, or my friends for that matter. Swipe ➡️ to see my progress pics. You can see I did the sketch a year & a half ago and I’ve been working on the digital rendering since April.⁠⠀ 🔹⁠⠀ #art #artsy #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #drawing #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitaldrawing #painting #doodle #sketch #sketchbook #digitalartist #Photoshop #Illustrator #digitalpainting #Wacom #originalartwork #portrait #cartoon #creative #instadraw #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystalCurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfUOMRDGkl/?igshid=ham9yxpepb1y

A belated Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! I made some Christmas-themed changes to my Nerdy Ninjas mascot. :)⁠⠀ 🔹⁠⠀ #art #artsy #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #drawing #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitaldrawing #painting #digitalpainting #doodle #sketch #sketchbook #digitalartist #photoshop #illustrator #artwork #conceptart #characterdesign #characterdesigner #instaart #instaartist #instadraw #Christmas #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystalCurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJUwHRcjZiB/?igshid=be81wm7e01

Finished up this piece inspired by some artists InkTober prompts (favorite season & seasonal witch). My fave season is winter so of course the first witchy character that came to mind was Elsa, so I ended up heavily referencing her famous pose. It was a great exercise and look, I finally colored a sketch! Something I haven't done in a while. 🔹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CIuKyJtDFe7/?igshid=1thc2ixa4yn73

More artwork of my characters, featuring Crystal, that was made for me by my friend @jewelsart7 about 3 years ago.

I’ve been meaning to share this work of my characters Crystal and Astra for quite some time. These were done in 2018 but I touched them up recently. Crystal admittedly needs to be redrawn because her anatomy is wonky. 😅 🔹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwnsAbDJac/?igshid=sd77ojkmiohp

More artwork of my characters, featuring Astra and Crystal, that was made for me by my friend @purplekatarts about 1-2 years ago that I’ve been meaning to share!

Starting a month-long Figure Drawing Challenge course, taught by Pencil Kings. I’m hoping I can stick to it and not “drop the ball” like I have with my other projects. This is my ‘before the challenge’ sketch. 🔹 #art #drawing #sketch #artwork #draw #artistsoninstagram #sketchbook #artoftheday #arts #sketching #pencildrawing #artists #artistsofinstagram #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #drawingoftheday #pencilsketch #instadraw #sketchoftheday #artdaily #dailysketch #drawingsketch #sketchdaily #drawingchallenge #figuredrawing #pencilsketch #illustrator #artist #CrystaltheCC #CrystalCurie (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEYUTjiDJ82/?igshid=12e95524ukyd

Made this for my bf and I’s anniversary. I miss him dearly. 😔💙💚 I was hoping to have this piece finished by today, but I’ve been feeling unwell lately and needed to rest and take care of myself. 🔹 #art #artsy #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #digitalart #digitalartwork #Photoshop #digitalpaint #Wacom #originalartwork #wip #myart #arts #cartoon #creative #instadraw #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr #artistsonblogger #artistsontwitter #artist #CrystaltheCC #CrystalCurie (at Anaheim, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZlvjzD2pH/?igshid=v49tyvc1gpgf

Sketch I did while it was slow at work. Sorry I haven’t been posting at all lately. Life has been busy and crazy, and when it’s not, all I wanna do is sleep. 😴 🔹 #art #artsy #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #sketch #doodle #sketchbook #illustrator #drawing #conceptart #character #characterdesign #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #traditionalart #originalartwork #instaartist #instadraw #artistsofinstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC

I’ve seen many iterations of yin yang characters and I tried making a pair; They turned out to be a sun god and moon goddess. And tbh I didn’t finish the second one because the face looked so good, I was afraid of messing it up. 😅 Enjoy~

Here’s Cath from @gloopcomic! I drew this for the gloop contest. I was thinking about doing more with the background, though this is what I got right now. I hope you enjoy. 😊 Go check out the comic! 🖤

First time drawing a unicorn, and without a reference too.🦄 @roxanna.rendon.agin suggested this, though I’m sorry it’s not driving a truck. 😛 Hope you enjoy~ 🔹 #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #ink #inked #sketchbook #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #sketch #draw #unicorn #unicorns #horse #inkpen #micron #drawing #artoftheday #originalartwork #instaartist #illustrator #sketch #penandink #pendrawing #instadraw #artist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq1L8zhhj3n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nl71rfrw8qky
