By popular demand, it's finally here. The OFFICIAL Bidoof ❤ Princess art thread. (Also known as the world's best artist (objectively)). Been meaning to get around to making this for a while. (Ever since Inktober ended really) but never ended up doing it, mostly because I'm lazy but also because I fell off doing art completely. But now this thread exists, giving me motivation to actually do art next year. I don't have many pieces done so far outside of Inktober, and my medium of choice is MS Paint, so don't accept high quality art in these next few dropdowns.
This is a DTIYS I did of Violet 's purple hair OC. (I call her Mervin). Idk I think she's cute.
aaaaaaand this is a piece that was initially meant for the Artd and Crafts PS room's spooky DTIYS event. Kinda sad it went unused since I put a ton of work into those two pokemon. First and only full colour piece I've done so far, but I think I could do much better if given more time and real tools.
also a 2021 year in review because i thought it was funny
So now I don't have an excuse to not do art this year. Ultimate goal for 2022 is to at some point acquire real software that isn't MS Paint, and then also a drawing pen since doing this on mouse is HELL. Honestly did not expect at all to be a part of this community even slightly at the start of this year, and I'm really proud of how far I've come. Really excited to see what I can do next year!

Day 1 - Fairy. Honestly this one's still a big mood.
Day 2 - Witch. Stay tuned for more eared anime girls. They'll probably end up being a theme.
Day 3 - Raven. Personally I think he's quite cute. I discovered the fill tool here and I think it really adds to the piece.
4. Moon - This is when I discovered the shapes tool and really tried to push what I could do with it. I think it turned out really striking.
5. Wisp - First fanart I did. It's Wisp from Animal Crossing. I don't really like his lips but aside from that I'm proud of this. But limited time and tools were in play here so I wasn't really sure how to improve it.
6. Teeth - I'm very proud of this one. Bidoof ❤ Princsus would be too.
7. Villain - It's him, the most villainous of all. The super criminal.
8. Ghost - Honestly I think the quality dips around the middle point of the month. I think I got really lazy with this one, and I think I could do a much better job now.
9. Rain - Tried for something more stylistic here. Big fan of the big cute face on inanimate objects aesthetic, and I think I pulled it off with a moderate degree of success.
10. Pumpkin - Another kinda lazy one imo. I like how the face turned out but I need to work on studying body types I think.
11. Water - Honestly this one's just a meme. That being said it's very complex and meticulously crafted, so I'm proud of you if you understand the font choice.
12. Clouds - Went for something more abstract here. This one definitely could have been better.
13. Wings - This was unfortunately before I discovered references, so the cat looks a tad derpy. This could have used some colour to really make it pop I think. It was my first (poor) attempt at shading, and I really don't think it worked.
14. Robes - This is where I learned what references are and began using one. I still went fairly offmodel, though. That being said I think I have a career as a fashion designer ahead of me. This got some drip fr.
15. Stars - The third and final attempt at drawing a cat, this time entirely using the star tool. Not really sure what to say about this one honestly.
16. Potion - Really like this one. I wish the Erlenmeyer Flask had more depth but idk hard to complain with this one for me. I think it's really cute.
17. Haunted - This was a low point in the month for me, so I really didn't try that hard here. Honestly just traced this one from the Sugimori art because I was NOT in the mood LOL. Had to play around with the proportions a bit to get it to look right. A lot of C+P+Stretching and that makes the right side look a bit funky tbh.
18. Ghoul - i realized very quickly i do not want to draw a gHoul, and do not know how to draw a ghoul. so instead i drEw a gremlin, but not just any gremLin, a heckin' chonky one. i started Playing around with shading here. only really looks good when you zooM out imo, but i think it was a good first attEmpt. should have studied a reference more honestly
19. Howl - My magnum opus. Honestly really love this one. I think I did a really good job on the Hoothoot and I discovered I really like drawing that mon. Ended up studying the Sugimori art weirdly intensely here, and I think it turned out for the better, since I learned a lot of cool things about how to improve my art, especially from its feet.
20. Wind - Well there wasn't any way to go up from there anyways :/ I don't hate this one honestly. I think the leaves are really good for being drawn with a mouse, and I like how I did the eyes. Eyes are something I don't think I've ever gotten good at, so I like what happened here. Don't really like the cloud guy's shape tho. I feel like that could have used some touchups.
21. Rot - Absolutely the piece I put the most effort into, using a whopping two references, and me experimenting with a light source. I remember this one being really painful to make bc I only had so many colours to work with and kept fucking up and having to restart. I think the lighting looks awkward still, but that mostly comes down to paint's limitations when working with an artist of my caliber. Still proud of it, but I think I got a bit too ambitious for the medium, and the piece suffered for it.
22. Fog - Honestly I think this piece captures the idea of fog pretty well. Can't even tell what I was trying to draw because of how much fog's in the way :(
23. Sweet - There's a reason I only drew one modern Pokemon in this entire month. That being said I'm happy with this. Probably needed to put more effort into studying the reference though.
24. Enchant - Don't ask me why this is on enchant. I genuinely don't remember. I remember putting a lot of work into getting everything to fit perfectly together here. Of the abstract pieces I did, this one's probably the most pedestrian, but it's definitely my favourite.
25. Orb - Was gonna try something more complex in terms of shading here, but considering how rot turned out, I didn't want to get too ambitious and went for a back to basics approach.
26. Possess - Here's where I ran out of ideas. Spooky fork rawr :3 Hate the concept I came up with but love how I executed it. I think the fork looks surprisingly nice honestly. Used the Sugimori Haunter again to reference the hands, and I think they turned out really nice too.
27. Bone - Another really lazy one. Honestly just have nothing to say here.
28. Wand - This one's really simple so I probably shouldn't be that proud of it but I honestly kinda am. Just love the guy's stoic expression as he commits magic.
29. Mask - I'm really proud of this one. This is easily the piece here I put the most time into. Making this symmetrical on my own sounded like hell, so luckily I was able to discover the flip tool, and I think it turned out much better for it.
30. Trick - LOL she made a Pokemon reference she's a gamer too. Honestly I stopped trying after the mask one. Mostly just because I had no good ideas tbh. Trick and Bizarre are hard to plan for.
31. Bizarre - Honestly I kinda gave up here. I was going for something more abstract and while I do like the piece's use of texture, I think it's a bit direction/meaningless, so I'm not the biggest fan of this one. Set out to make something bizarre but idk if I really succeeded.

Day 2 - Witch. Stay tuned for more eared anime girls. They'll probably end up being a theme.

Day 3 - Raven. Personally I think he's quite cute. I discovered the fill tool here and I think it really adds to the piece.

4. Moon - This is when I discovered the shapes tool and really tried to push what I could do with it. I think it turned out really striking.
