My art school admission portfolio 🎨🌸🫶

I’ve received quite a few messages asking me to share my admission portfolio, especially from people who have questions about applying to art school. So, here it finally is )

And I want to remind you that art schools don’t expect you to be an expert or to have perfect drawings, they want to understand your skill level, see your potential, and help you grow as an artist 🌿🦋

I’m still learning and improving every day, in every class, I get to see artists who are much better than me, and honestly, I’m happy to have the opportunity to learn from them and keep pushing myself to improve 🥹✨

You don’t have to be where you want to be yet ,you just have to be willing to learn 💪

Insect 4/31 🐛🖋️

These past few days have been a little busy with classes and paperwork, so I’ve been having some trouble finding the time to finish my drawings. 🥹

But a promise is a promise, and I’m determined to complete all 31 insects, even if it takes me a little longer than expected. 👀🫡

Wishing you all a lovely start to the week! 🤍✨

31 insects, 31 days. 🫡 🦋

This year, I’m really determined to get better at drawing insects, so I set myself a little challenge: drawing 31 different insects throughout October. 👀

That said, there won’t be 31 carousels in a row XD. I’ll be alternating them with the posts and reels I have waiting to be shared, so there’ll be a little bit of everything around here :))

Thank you so much for all the support and for joining me on this little challenge. 🤍

The person behind the ink 🖋️✨

I spend so much time showing you the things I draw that I sometimes forget to show you the person holding the pen. XD

So… here’s a little Art vs Artist :))

Thank you for being here and following along with my work. 🤍

Shall we start #inktober? 👀🖋️🖤

This year I want to do things a little differently :)) Instead of posting 31 carousels in a row like I’ve done in previous years, I’ll be mixing my Inktober drawings with reels, regular carousels, and some of the questions I’ve been meaning to answer.

I’ve noticed that many of you have similar questions about different topics, so I thought this would be a nice opportunity to answer some of them too :))🌿

One thing is for sure🌸there will be 31 ink drawings, no matter what 👀
But this time I’m not following the prompt list.

I really hope you enjoy this ink month and thank you very much for all the support 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I had to draw it. XD
The Bearded Vulture ,the bone eater 😍, I thought the name was just metaphorical, but it literally feeds on bones XD

It can swallow small bones whole. When a bone is too large, it carries it high into the air and drops it onto rocks to break it into smaller pieces.

It also has extremely powerful stomach acids capable of dissolving even the hardest bones within just a few hours.

Have a great start to the week! 🖤
