Like at what point do you just stop and say you know what this isn’t going the way I want to, I’m going to stop and try again later.

For me it’s always when I’m like 95% done and I’ve known for a while that it wasn’t going to go my way 😭😭

I’m not 100% happy with this piece but definitely feel better about the second attempt. I’m still getting used to this style and trying to make it feel effortless is haaarrrddd 🫠 let me know which one you like better, and if you can tell which one is overworked. I’d also love any opinions or tips for faces because I struggle man

I couldn’t wait to make this as soon as I saw the reference picture 😭😭 I just wish I had the space to actually paint it

Little study before I paint the whole image, just thought this pose was so fun and was just going to do the line art but idk what happened 😅

Been super obsessed with pulp art lately and trying to teach myself to draw it and thought why not make it furry but now I’m obsessed with them

Mocked up the lineart for my next (digital) painting and am a bit iffy on some of the details. Do the eyebrows make her look mad? I also can’t decide on paws or hands again 🥲 anything else I’m missing? 🙃

Little process vid up on my page 😊 I’m having a lot of fun experimenting with this style. Image had to be scaled down so the colors are a little off :/

Thank you so much to everyone who commented on my last post about this piece! It was incredibly motivating (to the point where I sacrificed naptime with my baby and redrew it 🫠) here’s a timelapse of the process.

I am much happier with it now but still feel like maybe it’s overworked/ there are aspects that could be pushed in terms of the “furry” aspect.

I have a bad habit of overthinking and overworking a piece and find myself starting over all the time. I almost did with this one but really appreciated everyone’s suggestions and encouragement on my last piece and figured I might as well try to set a habit of just doing it even if I don’t feel like it’s perfect! I’m still testing things out and learning and it’s okay to make mistakes in the process :)

I’ve always struggled to render my pieces in a way that feels like “furry art” and I finally gave up and said imma do what I want to do and am sooooo happy with it, this was just a little study so not anything serious but I think I just needed the reminder that I need to do my art for me and not for anyone else???

But like I do want to know if anyone else likes pulp art as much as I do and would want to see more/ what do you think would look cool
