Hollow Knight Fanart Halloween Party
I did a new Hollow knight poll. The winner of the poll is Halloween. It is a bit too early for that. Then again, the fans asked for Halloween. I struggled a lot with the theme. I ended up making the Mantis Lords in fancy Halloween costumes. They are dressed in Alice in Wonderland theme. This is a pretty popular outfit set. I also included a smaller trio of party goers. I thought that their presence would make the scene more crowded. With all the elements in place, all that was left was to jazz up the background. I used...
Dry Ink Art Tree Snails Painting
I made new snail art. I also photographed two painting details. I hope that these painting details are amusing. I just like the abstraction created by ink. I should look up some proper ink painting techniques. This is just all in my to do list. Above, you can see color variants of the same tree snail species. It changes color depending on its diet.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t need...
Ink Art Tree Snails Wet
This is a set of 7 paintings featuring snails. They are all the same snail. They get their color variants based on their diets. This is just the fun thing about certain tree snails. They are not married to one color pattern. There is going to be videos of these artworks in my Artsy Sister Youtube channel. Please give a like and subscribe. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
Hollow Knight Badminton Olympic Fanart
I did a new hollow knight poll. The winner of the poll was badminton. This was what 72 fans chose. So, this is what I drew. I chose Hornet, Quirrel, Grimm and Emilitia for the fanart. They are roughly the same height. This made them perfect for the fanart. I used as reference this badminton photo from the Olympics. I just needed some poses and some uniform. I think the fanart came out alright. I didn’t want to do a single pose focusing on an individual. I wanted to show the action of all the 4 players. This worked well...
Teach Yourself to Paint: The Van Gogh Method
I did an video blog about Van Gogh. He was a self-taught painter. He followed steps to master his craft. He started with paper and pencil. In fact, the bulk of his artworks are pencil drawings. Once he mastered pencil, he started painting. He used first cheap colors. He was trying to translate his drawing skills to paintings. His next step was to master color. He did still life of flowers to learn how to work with colors. Flowers used to be popular in his day. Since he was an unproven artist, he taught himself to paint flowers and...
