Margarita and her own Behemoth…As I wrote before, I liked dark things, so as an early teen, I really liked The Master and Margarita. I can’t describe how deep I dove into this world. I read the book, I watched the movie, and I was in love… And this week, the movie popped into my feed, and I flew directly into my memories and feelings…
Sooo…it was my main inspiration for this week. I wanted to let my hair down and walk in the dark under a full moon…my week’s vibes.
About the drawing: see this first sketch, the creature with the flute. That’s how I imagined my mind flow, like someone playing annoying flute music, absolutely chaotically… and I couldn’t catch any melody. So irritating… because this week was too much. I pierced the limbs whenever i felt, I drew messy lines, because I felt paralysed by the fear of one thing I can’t control and don’t know how to transform into something… But I transformed the feeling into these sketches, and I like it… because through the irritated messiness, I created what I created, so, soak it up. 🪿
The Toooools: the fear, intense feelings, Procreate app, 6B Sketching Brush…everything was drawn by me. #darkartist #darkart #character #artist Digital artist taking a mirror selfie at home, sitting on the floor surrounded by houseplants.

Where the stars shine like eyes… the black night sighs.
The week was so rainy… I love it. I didn’t feel like I wanted to actually post what I drew, maybe I’ll add a sneak peek, but today’s carousel is a bit behind the scenes…
This week, I mostly thought about colours, dove into colour theory and played Sims 4…
At night, I watched the sky, fog, animals… saw a couple of foxes (super close), two roe deer ran across the road in front of me twice, and it’s been rainy, so I’ve been pretty chatty with frogs…
So, this is my gloomy days, soak it up 🪿 #darkartist #behindthescenes #artistic #darkaestetic #artist A blonde female digital artist taking a mirror selfie at home, surrounded by a collection of lush houseplants and warm wooden interiors.

Inspiration lore: I was walking at night and noticed a tiny frog on the road, but a car drove over it, so I couldn’t run to save it…I waited till the car drove away, and I was deeply afraid the car would smash it… BUT this little frog survived, so I took him and put him on the other side, far away from the road… and I dove into the imaginary world and imagined the spirit of the forest as a frog, but with a human body.
Soo, process: I started with another idea, but the story with the frog spirit was stuck in my mind… so I started with the frog shapes, and my first try was off…Everything I thought when I looked at it was between “Dobby is free” and “my precious. The second attempt looks like how I imagine myself during a mental breakdown. Pretty accurate.
So, I started to draw the frog face as a mask, and I realised that its hand position is the problem. I like it, but its hand language gives a different vibe… because I want it to look stronger… hurt but powerful, because it’s a spirit.
But meh, no one can stop me, and I will draw more shapes, and I will see how they look, and maybe I can share them as well. Sooo, do I like it? Very much! So soak it up 🪿

🦇. I have my favourite star cluster called The Pleiades… you can’t actually see it when you look straight at it. You will see it only when you focus your gaze just past the spot where it is, using your peripheral vision. It shines with red, blue, green, and white colours… but if you really want to catch it, it’s better to take a photo of it… (sharing the photo).
Although it doesn’t really fit into the overall picture…But I kept this in my head all this time as something I wanted to write.
The drawing process: you can see the blank first shapes I tried to draw, but it went wrong… I kept the idea, but I didn’t draw it this time. (What I don’t like, I keep for the future, because some things need a different time.) So I just created different shapes…and they became alive and breathing. I like the way the limb pierces the eye, but I don’t know which head position I want…
I think I will work with it again, and no one gave me a rule to keep it to only one variation… so I can go crazy with it and draw as many versions as I want. Do I like the result? Yes. So soak it up…🪿
The tools: the iPad and Procreate app, 6B Sketching brush, my hands, and my dark imagination. #artist #darkartist #darkart #character Mirror selfie of a blonde female artist in a delicate cream slip dress, standing among tall houseplants and soft sunlight.

September, and let’s dive into my lore.
When I was little, I was such a bookworm, like, really. When it was summer and I had all the time in the world, I’d just read 1 book per day. And OMG, how I loved libraries… They’re labyrinths with plenty of worlds in paper cases.
So, once I found a book, a grail of sorts..that planted the first seed of something gloomy in my immature mind: Shockheaded Peter by Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann. And this book opened the door into another world for me. It showed me what tales can be without a happy ending… And this was to me, even more interesting, deeper, and…something that made me think and wonder.
Later, I had access to the internet, and I had a lot of space for searching about dark folklore and other mystical stuff…
Drawing process: These sketches were drawn because I wanted to check or my vision of flowers would match my whole aesthetic… because I was deeply inspired by my 3D lamp toy. I tried drawing more realistic flowers, but it feels off to me…
Also, I just drew some hand positions to find new shapes… This sketch was more for practice and exploring. But still, I like it. So, soak it up 🪿
Toooools: my weak hands, Procreate app on iPad, 6B sketching brush, and silly flower lamp. All sketches were drawn by me. #artist #darkartist #darkart #artistic A blonde female artist in an oversized black outfit holds her black cat in a cozy home, creating a dark and moody artistic portrait.

Today, come look at my weird little lifes tales instead…
I don’t post stories… only if I want something to disappear… As I am the main character of this account, I really want to share what is in my camera roll, what I really enjoyed, or just random things… and moments… just to be closer, you know?
I don’t know whether to keep it this way, or post it in a “secret” place for people who will follow because they’re interested in seeing what I post besides my art… (talking about channel or smth) I can’t decide, so for this time I’ll just keep it this way….
So this is my dark but vibrant world.

Here is calm. Find a moth cosplay. Supposed to be a horned creature, but obviously it’s a moth…. 𓆤
It’s supposed to be the post of my summer camera roll dump since I don’t post stories, maybe it would be interesting for you to see…but maybe next week. This week we have, in my dark fantasy digital realm 🎪 theeee process photos and dark and red sketch!
Process: I was so inspired by my photo where, in motion, one of my eyes is open and the other one looks blurry and closed, so I started to draw my creatures in the same way (also maybe I will post this photo on my CRD post).. And yeah, the shape of the dancing horned creature with a flute is still in my mind…do I like it? Yes. So, soak it up 🪿

Tooools: Procreate app on my iPad, my hands, my mind flow, 6B sketching brush and red colour, and yeah, this mess was created by me… who is reading and still here…look at my plants! Do you like them? 🥹 I have more! #artist #darkart #sketch #character #process A blonde digital artist wearing black oval glasses and an oversized grey T-shirt poses at her desk with her hands behind her head, creating the illusion of horns.

What filled me with a certain mood this week? The warm feeling of autumn,and the smell of my baked pie with caramelised apples with brown sugar and cinnamon, with Practical Magic (1998) movie…. I adore this movie… Oh, and about the autumn theme, my outfit was inspired by Sarah Sanderson’s character. It’s not actual cosplay or copy paste, I just thought about her vibe when I searched through what I have in my closet… A broom would certainly have added to the mood, but I only have a vacuum cleaner, and it’s a shame…
Alright, let’s get to the main part..
Drawing processsss…you can actually see the first form I started to build, it was the big foundation of the picture of a dancing hornet creature with a flute. It was just a picture in my mind I saw somewhere, so based on this picture I started my process… nope, there is no flute, only limbs.…in the end I have two finished sketches and I like them both, they’re kinda similar but different at the same time…
Soooo, this was my week’s mood and work, soak it all up!

The toooools… my imagination, hands, and the messy curves and lines, also Procreate app and 6B Sketching brush… a bit of red colour, and voila, dark fantasy art sketch is done👹 #artist #darkart #sketch #character #process Mirror selfie of a blonde digital artist wearing a black sheer long-sleeve top and a long white lace skirt, standing indoors beside a large leafy plant.

Find your prediction on this post. Look carefully….
This teddy bear, btw, is soo so old. (I had it as a keychain for my keys when I was little) He has always been with me, and one of the sketches you can find on my feed was inspired by him, because he has a pocket and I thought, “I wish I could have a giant teddy bear to put myself inside of it” It would be cool, but I don’t have one, so I drew it instead. If you’re interested, you can find it. Feel free to dive into my feed.
So, the process… hmmm… Do I like the pose of my character? Not really, I changed it a little bit at the end (you can actually see my process steps). Do I like the way it turned out? Yes, pretty happy with my progress, so yeah… Soak it up. 🪿

The Tooools… This dark fantasy art sketch was created by me. I used my hands, brain, soul… everything👹 Cooked it in my dark, dark laboratory. It was a stormy 2 a.m. night, and I drew it in Procreate with a red colour using the 6B Sketching Brush. #artist #darkart #sketch #character #process Full-body mirror selfie of a fantasy illustrator crouching with a large tote bag, plush keychains, and casual outfit before a creative work session.
