Every year I say “I’m gonna participate in Mermay” and then I don’t because college is nuts, however I do have this gorgeous girl to share instead.

Angler fish are one of, if not my favorite fish EVER! Little fun fact, the females are the ones with the light and teeth, the males are very small and will follow the female around until she’s ready to mate. When the time comes the male will bite onto the female’s stomach and essentially fuse to her, the two becoming one. The male will actually tap into the female’s bloodstream to obtain nutrients. This way the female has a built in sperm back ready to go when she is set to mate.

Happy Mermay!!

Everyone meet my new OC, Chamomile. Her design was based off of a poll I made on my story. Remember that the ask box is open! #oc #traditionalartwork #drawing #narwhale #traditionalart https://www.instagram.com/quokkatoons/p/Buzb_fVlcvm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oalnzxxyffkg

I’ve been meaning to share some artwork that was made for me by friends. Here’s a piece my good friend @krazykat188 made for me for my birthday 2 years ago, featuring my characters. (Ik, I’m super late) She doesn’t post much but I love her art style and you guys should go check out her work. 😊 Thanks again Kat! 🔹 ⠀ #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #fanart #fanartfriday #artwork #ink #sketchbook #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #sketch #draw #drawing #comic #comicart #originalcharacter #characterdesign #pencil #coloredpencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #instaartist #instadraw #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC #crystalcurie (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEuv5WiDAyG/?igshid=1b0ho3qbnobba

First time drawing a unicorn, and without a reference too.🦄 @roxanna.rendon.agin suggested this, though I’m sorry it’s not driving a truck. 😛 Hope you enjoy~ 🔹 #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #ink #inked #sketchbook #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #sketch #draw #unicorn #unicorns #horse #inkpen #micron #drawing #artoftheday #originalartwork #instaartist #illustrator #sketch #penandink #pendrawing #instadraw #artist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq1L8zhhj3n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nl71rfrw8qky

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃 I drew my plant-loving OC Ivy as a hippie. Spread the peace, love, and happiness mannn. ✌🏼 🔹 #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #ink #inked #sketchbook #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #sketch #draw #inktober #inktober2018 #halloween #inkpen #drawing #artoftheday #originalartwork #originalcharacter #instaartist #illustrator #sketch #penandink #pendrawing #instadraw #artist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/BpsQyQGBH23/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w1gztcz6bpbx

My OC Jasper making his best scary face. He’s normally more human looking, but since he can morph into a dragon he’s using his powers to his advantage. 🔹 #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #ink #inked #sketchbook #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #sketch #draw #inktober #inktober2018 #halloween #inkpen #drawing #artoftheday #originalartwork #originalcharacter #instaartist #illustrator #sketch #penandink #pendrawing #instadraw #artist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/BpAdMUwBnGP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1reozq6s2nb3f

I drew Crystal as a Mad Scientist. (I really should stop using Pilot ink pens for drawing. They smudge. 😣) I figure since I’m getting back into drawing and Halloween is coming up that now would be a good time to revisit my October Art Challenge from 2 years ago. So I’ll be drawing some of my OCs Halloween style. Charm as a Ghost was technically the first one. 😸👻 🔹 #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #ink #inked #sketchbook #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #sketch #draw #inktober #inktober2018 #halloween #inkpen #drawing #artoftheday #originalartwork #originalcharacter #instaartist #illustrator #sketch #penandink #pendrawing #instadraw #artist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/BpAPi9sjgkm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o43qyqpou72h

Hey all, it's been a while! I've been riding the roller coaster of life while I've been away. It's hard to believe that school is almost over again. Time just flies when you're busy. 🔹 Here's a peek at what I've been working on; it's the first thumbnail for my comic script. I like how the pod looks like an egg just waiting to hatch, much like a story just waiting to begin... (foreshadowing!) 😊 I hope you enjoy~ 🔹 #art #artsy #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #sketch #sketchbook #doodle #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #pencil #wip #workinprogress #originalartwork #instaart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr #artistsontwitter #artist #illustrator #instaartist #CrystaltheCC

(Nudity Warning. Just in case) Time is flying on by these days… Here’s some life drawing sketches I did for a Pencil Kings daily challenge last month. It was a nice exercise, though I’d like to brush up on my skills some more. Hope you enjoy~ 🔹 #art #arts #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #sketch #sketchbook #pencil #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #pencil #originalartwork #instaart #instadraw #figuredrawing #lifedrawing #sketching #drawings #creative #artistic #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #illustrator #instaartist #CrystaltheCC

Yesterday was my birthday and I wanted to draw something special. It's a redraw of something I drew a couple years ago. I raced the clock but couldn't get it done before midnight, so here it is today. Hope you enjoy! 😊

Here's the next sketch for my 100 Themes Challenge. There was a character in the middle, but I think I'm going to draw that part digitally because all the lines were starting to get visually confusing for me.⠀ 🔹⠀ I've been wanting to put more patterns and Zentangle elements in my work. I'm hoping this turns out good. 😊

Theme 7 Memory is done! I'm so glad I finally finished this. In truth, I wanted it done last year, but I was busier (and then sick) than I expected. Oh well. Have a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope yours is off to a great start. 😊

I'm back with my inked Theme 7! Sorry for the unexpected art hiatus. I was finishing up Finals and after that, all I felt like doing was relaxing for two days. 😅 Glad to be back at it though! This will be colored in soon. 😊

Theme 7 is Memory and the sketch is a redrawing of a redrawing. I guess you could say that it's also a memory of a memory. 😆⠀ 🔹⠀ I decided to revisit a drawing in my sketchbook that was done earlier this year. I redrew a drawing of mine for a class project (because I was fond of it) and looking back on it now, I wasn't happy with how the guy's face came out when I first drew it. So I redrew his face, added some more heartwarming elements, and next, I'm going to add more ink to make it pop. 😊🎄⠀

Completed Theme 6 yesterday! I've been busy with school as this semester is wrapping up. 🔹 I haven't drawn this character in a while so she got a bit of a makeover. I'm also experimenting with adding highlights, and using only alcohol-based markers. I like that they give my drawings a nice smooth look. 🙂 I hope you enjoy~

I took a photo of my art and played around with its colors on my phone. I thought it'd be cool to share. 😁 I'm still finishing up coloring the original, so stay tuned.

The inking is done! There's so many lines... 😳 I can't wait to finish it up with color! I hope you enjoy~

Sketch for Theme 6 is done! I'm feelin' pretty good about it. Hope you enjoy~ 😊

Finished up Theme 5! Again, I based it heavily on the previous drawing I did (now over 2 1/2 years ago! 😳 ). I was still aiming for a postcard-like look, but I wasn’t sure what to do with the border in the end. I’m pretty pleased with it overall though. And his smile is endearing as always. 😊 Hope you enjoy~

Finished up the inking yesterday. I experimented with adding hatching! This is something that I’ve been wanting to try, but I wasn’t sure about how it would turn out. I got out of my comfort zone and just did it anyway. Hope you like it!

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d struggle this much to keep up with the drawings…but I’m still going! Here’s the sketch for Theme 5: Welcome.

Inked it! Now for the fun part, coloring it in. 😁 🖊
