Inktober has me inspired! Today’s theme was “cactus”
couldn’t decide on which one to post so.. Here’s both of my pieces!

Did these two today following youtube tutorials (I’ll find the channel and link it in the comments), since I’m kinda in a creative block. What do you guys usually like to paint to help the inspiration come back?
Followed a youtube tutorial called “Oil Pastel Drawing Coffee | How to draw using oil pastel” by Kahel Art Studio :)
Materials were Mungyo Gallery 120 color set and Canson watercolor paper
Done in Meeden’s 144 color set and A3 watercolor paper! That was a lot of fun, I love trying realistic botanical art :) The orchids were the highlight for me haha
Also love the matching colors on the sketchbook pages, thought it was worth sharing :)
I dis this for a very dear professor of mine. She loves Paris, fashion (specifically designer bags, so that’s an attempt on a Hermes haha) and flowers. I feel like the coat is a bit off, but I’m scared of overworking it. Please leave suggestions and advice in the comments!
Done with Meeden’s 144 color set in A3 sized watercolor paper :)
This will be a bigger piece, I’m excited!
Youtuber is Beatriz Fedele and the Video is called “The watercolor glow trick that makes this orange look lit”. I found the “glowy” part very hard, specifically since I have a reeeeally hard time blending wet on wet, but her explanations are fantastic!
I really like the results of the oranges and the sink, but still have a hard time with getting smooth layers. Any advice?
Still need to add some highlights but really like the results :) Done with Meeden oil pastels
shadows were a strugle for me.. How do ya’ll create smooth shadow gradients?
