Drawing Apollo’s Lyre and a Goddess. I love drawing and I thought it might be nice to do a brand new post! Using mostly other brands than Prismacolor here.
My Current Draw Situation

Being ‘Positive’ in Interesting Times
I got sick. So, I decided to draw! This will be one of the old school posts where we show our work in progress, haha. I like to draw area by area, so I just chose once section of my piece and dedicated a day or two on it.
I really wanted to draw a mask since the beginning of the pandemic and I kind of want every artist to do this! In the future, everyone will look at art between 2020 – 2023 and see all the artwork that has vaccines, shots, syringes, masks, and viruses in them. I just think it will be really nice. Something for the grandchildren I guess.
Another thing I wanted to draw was a moon. I’m obsessed with the sky and kind of wish there was a better view of the planets, rather than the little specks I see every day. I don’t even know how you can point out a planet vs. a star, but people can do it!
More corn. I like drawing on my bed, especially since the days I worked on this were particularly cool. So my bed was more cozy to be on than my desk.
I did different colored corn too. I used an alcohol marker to color in the entire food first, then I went in with the Faber Castel pencils after.
At this point I did the same approach, but with my sweater. This is my favorite sweater.
Added some flowers, then I colored in the background. The background was actually the worst. I wanted to do a gradient, which I had done before, but because I started with a dark color first, I messed up. None of the colors blended so I ended up making most of the background purple. Next time I would color in the background all yellow, then go in with the darker colors.
Title: Positive
Year: 2022
Dimensions: 11″ x 17″
Medium: Alcohol Markers, Colored Pencils, Gel Pens, on Strathmore Bristol Paper.
I’m a little worried about the next two piece I’m working on. I usually don’t like talking about sensitive issues, but sometimes you can’t help it.
Thanks for reading!
Lightning by Priscilla Flores
To anyone interested, I made my book Lightning with illustrations. I did all of them myself! I have been working on this a long, long time, and I finally got all the pictures in it. I’m really happy because now I can fully focus on my second book that is completely different than Lightning.
So, if you’re reading this and find the time to read a 600+ page book, you can get it on Amazon for free if you have kindle unlimited. If not, you can get the ebook for $1.99. The physical book is for the diehard who love a real book in their hands.
Search “Lightning by Priscilla Flores” and you should be able to find it. If not, click on the link I provided below!
Anyway, here’s the link:

I love drawing.
Title: Cowards
Update on some artwork I worked on the last few days. I did all this on Procreate! I can’t believe I used to think Procreate was some simple little app that could do nothing. I know you need an iPad to have it, but maybe they will branch out to iOS soon? Who knows.
I am trying to fill in an entire canvas when I’m doing trying to create a piece. Sometimes it can get overwhelming, but it’s just a way to push myself to fill something up. It’s like a little challenge I have for myself.
Keep Drawing. I’m starting to think the past is creeping up on the future.
Mountains in Strange Times
Sometimes I wonder how life can be so interesting. I always hear that us little people are just “ants” but gosh. There is a huge show going on for little ants. Sometimes I wonder if things are meant to be like this or if things are meant to be much better. I really hope things can be better, but you know… hard times are ahead.
The lockdown is still going on, however, no one I know is staying home and there have been parties non-stope. Haha.
Anyway, back to dreaming and writing.

Drawing During the Pandemic
Drawing during the Covid19 Pandemic is not really something I am surprised in doing, since I draw all the time. What I find interesting is that at all the stores I went to, the art section would be nearly cleaned out because so many people got the supplies when everyone was sent home. I really think people need to have some sort of creative side so they can have something to look forward to other than school or work. Just my opinion.
What I am surprised about is how much these Prismacolor pencils last. Like they really, really, last long and I have been using them nearly every day. Granted I use other medium in my drawings like markers of even gel pens, but still, I am shocked how long a pencil can last.
I am so happy with the amount of usage I got from this set so far. To be honest, the yellow you see behind the green is actually a third replacement I had gotten not too long ago. Turns out I gravitated to that color a lot, mostly for highlights and to give a glowing effect in some of my drawings. I always find if nice when an artist has something they are attracted to more than others when it comes to their art supplies. I think there was a red I used up twice as well, but I ended up waiting until I am completely done with this set to move onto my huge set of pencils. I personally like the challenge of having a limited color palette.
Still got a long way to go, but I plan on trying to post everything on here rather than social media. Hope this stupid pandemic comes to an end, because I miss lurking around Hobby Lobby and Michaels.
Interpretation Of a Virus #coronavirus #covid19 #coronachan
I know there is a lot of stuff going on with the Coronavirus or Covid19. I see so many people draw their Corona-chan, but I feel like it would be more mythical or otherworldly. Something that looked like us, but at the same time be human, since we are the humans that would be targeted by it.
When I saw the memes of the so-called Corona-Chan begin to spread around, I thought it was quite funny, because the Ebola-chan was something I was into also. I even did a speed drawing of her a while ago and YouTube if filled with the drawings of her.
Now it’s Corona-chan, and I feel like it’s starting to get a life of its own because how many people are worshiping the thing. I love the fan art, but instead of parroting the same thing of a beautiful woman with two buns, I added a major twist of a being that is not human like, but preys on them.
Here is the drawing done on Procreate:
Hope everyone has a safe upcoming spring. Hopefully things are not too bad out there, but if they are, I hope things get better.
Thank you reading, Priscilla.

Rolling Waves
The Oceans is the most terrifying thing on earth. Never tempt the waters as they will always win. When the waves become angry, do not test them, for they will never forgive you. An ocean is a beautiful thing, but something that will strike terror in anyone who will swim in it.
The ocean wins.
Thinking of what to do next with the wawatercolor set by Art Philosophy.

Prismacolor Premier Pencils: Are They Worth It?
A while ago I bought these pencils. Right away I saw a bunch of posts on Instagram about how horrible they were and a few videos on YouTube about the brand being over rated.
Instantly I regretted buying these and set them aside, horrified that I made such a horrible decision by buying the pencils. I didnt touch them for months and I thought I fell into a trap, meme, or evil sales pitch that wasted my money.
Then randomly I decided to pull them out, maybe three years after I got them. And I hated Instagram ever since.
To put it simply: I love these pencils.
Now this isn’t a post to compare one brand with another, but this is a post about how great these pencils are. I love them, they’re beautiful, and the color selection is out of his world.
I absolutely regret not playing with these pencils for years and years. I began to draw and toned paper and eventually black paper. Heavy weight paper, of course.
The pics are examples of my prismacolor pencils on black paper. I began to draw on my black paper only because I did not want it to go to waste, but I began to love it and adore how bright the colors can appear above the surface. I also use Sakura Gelly Roll pens for added highlights, only I don’t need to explain how well the pens are, everyone loves the Sakura pens.
So I made this post only because I wanted to explain that even though a person might hate a brand or art supply, that does no mean you will hate it. I thought Prismacolor sucked and then I actually used the pencils on my own and with my own technique.
I hope everyone has a happy drawing day! Some if my friends started Art School in College!! I’m so jealous, but I can still draw on my own.
