So long, farewell!

Hello, this is Olivia Rain here, and I’m sad to announce that I’m going to stop updating my art blog. You remember my last drawing that was inspired by a parent that constantly let me down in life? They have overstepped my boundaries twice this Mother’s Day and I need to stick to them, which leads to the deletion of my Facebook. My art blog will still be up and I’m not quitting art completely, but I need to get away from toxic people in my life. I want to thank you all for the support, comments, and views for the past four years, and I wouldn’t have improved and branched out as much as I did without them. See you on the flip side! —Olivia Rain

Empty Promises

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 11 May 2024 10:39:00 -0700

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with an art piece that’s more personal. I don’t like to open up about my personal life, but I had a parent that wasn’t consistent with their promises and would sometimes give me empty ones, which was what inspired me to draw this piece. I tried to put a lot of detail into this, and I think it all paid off in the end! I’m especially pleased with the background, but I wish that it wasn’t so difficult to bend the text on the banner. Overall, I had fun drawing this and I’m always questioning what else I can draw. Thanks for reading, and I will see you soon!

Clowning Around

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 4 May 2024 10:35:00 -0700

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with a drawing of a fish I’m sure you can all recognize from a popular animated film. I was thinking about Finding Nemo and I didn’t have any idea what to draw this week, but when I looked closer at a clownfish I went, “I can draw that!” which is what led to this art piece. I put a lot of detail into this drawing and I think it all paid off! I actually had a blast drawing this and I wonder what else I can draw! Thanks for reading, and I will see you again soon!

No Update This Week

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Fri, 26 Apr 2024 10:33:00 -0700

Due to the fact that I will be busy, there will be no update this week. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I can’t be distracted. Thanks for the understanding!

Bleeding Hearts

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 10:36:00 -0700

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with what is considered to be a toxic flower. It’s the bleeding heart! What inspired me to draw this unique plant is that I was scrolling through TikTok when I stumbled across one of those “flower lore” posts, and it featured the plant in the drawing, so here it is! Despite the fact that it contains isoquinoline alkaloids that are poisonous to both humans and animals, I consider it to be a truly beautiful and unique flower that comes from the papaveraceae family. I put in a lot of effort into this drawing, and I think it paid off! Overall, I had a blast drawing this and I’m wondering what other types of flowers that I can draw! Thanks for reading, and I will see you again next week!

The Moon and the Stars

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 10:30:00 -0700

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with an art piece of the moon and the stars! There was a solar eclipse that occurred earlier this week, and my family and I were lucky enough to see it! It was by far the greatest thing I have gotten to experience, and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to see it! Another thing that inspired this art piece is that when I went outside to take my dog out, I saw a crescent moon with the evening star next to it, so I decided to recreate that! I’m pleased with how this drawing turned out, and I wonder what else I can draw! Thanks for reading, and I will see you again next week!

Bubbles

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 6 Apr 2024 10:34:00 -0700

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with a more aesthetic art piece. It’s my persona relaxing underwater admiring some bubbles. I have a friend that draws these incredible art pieces that inspire me, and I’ve always been a fan of bubbles, so I decided to draw a more detailed art piece! If you tap or click on the picture, you can see some details I added onto my persona’s sweater and jeans. It took a lot of work and patience to finish this, but I think it all paid off! Thanks for reading, and I will see you again next week!

Butterfly Stitch

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 10:39:00 -0700

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with something that I think is a little unusual, but in a good way because who says that art can be normal? It was going to be a normal drawing of a butterfly, but while I was fixing dinner, I decided to add a string of thread attached to a needle into my art piece! I’m pleased with how the background and the butterfly’s wings turned out, and I actually used a rare species for this drawing! It’s called a “Morpho”. Overall, I had a blast drawing this and I hope I can draw more unique pictures! Thanks for reading, and I will see you again next week!

No Update This Week

The Daisy Vine

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 16 Mar 2024 10:46:00 -0700

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with a flower called “spreading fleabane”. It’s a plant that sprouts flowers that look similar to daisies, but they’re incredibly tiny and come in clusters. There can be 100 of these tiny flowers in one growth, which I find to be incredible. They’re native to western North America and can bloom in pink, yellow, and purple from early spring to late autumn. It took a lot of patience to draw all of these daisies, but I think the effort paid off! I wonder what other types of plants that I can draw. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you again next week!

Lily Of The Valley

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 9 Mar 2024 10:41:00 -0800

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with a drawing of the beautiful yet poisonous lily-of-the-valley. I was looking through slideshows of flowers when I came across a picture of these flowers and decided, “I could draw that!” Thus, this was created! The flowers were fairly easy to draw, and I’m pleased with how the shading on the stems turned out! I had difficulty designing the background, but I like how it looks! Overall, I had a blast drawing this and I wonder what other types of flowers I can draw! Thanks for reading!

Web of Lies

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 24 Feb 2024 10:35:00 -0800

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with a drawing of a black widow spider in her web! I was initially going to draw cherry blossoms but I wasn’t up to it. Then I remembered a friend of mine that really loves bugs, so I figured “Why not draw a spider web?” I also added a black widow spider to make it more interesting. It took a little trial and error with a side of patience to draw this, but I think it turned out okay! Overall, I had a blast drawing this and remember to always tell the truth so you don’t get caught in the web of lies! Thanks for reading!

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with a drawing of a sad swan! I can’t remember how I got this idea, but it just popped into my head one day and I decided to draw it! So here it is! If there’s something that you can take from this drawing, it’s that no matter how strong you are, it’s okay to cry. Crying is not a sign of weakness, and it’s a good way to get our emotions out.

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia Rain) — Sat, 3 Feb 2024 10:36:00 -0800

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with a drawing of a rubber ducky! I was shopping at TJ Maxx last week and I was looking through the shampoo/body wash aisle when I saw this cute bottle that had a rubber duck on it, so I took a picture of it.

I had a little difficulty drawing the duck’s beak, but I think it turned out well! Overall, I had a blast drawing this and I wonder what else I can draw next!

Hello, Olivia Rain here, and this week I return with an art piece of a man in a suit! It was going to be a drawing of a simple bow tie, but I ended up drawing a fancy man instead! I tried to make the suit realistic by adding wrinkles, and I think I did a great job at them! I’m also pleased with how the bow tie came out, I just wish I didn’t forget to shade it! Overall, I’m pleased with how this turned out and I’m wondering what else I can draw next! Thanks for reading, and I will see you again next week!
