I've watched a lot of Blue Planet recently and am amazed by the abundance of life that is present in our oceans. it's also heartbreaking to learn how humans have negatively affected ocean life and e...

hello friends! o(´∀｀*)
how are you? i hope you're doing okay~ <3 nothing much new to report in terms of artistic revelations, but i've just been staying open to new things. like with anything else, i think it's easy for artists to fall into habits where we end up drawing things in the same way over and over again. there's nothing wrong with that obviously, but for the sake of grow...

I hope your day is going well so far! I've been having a lot of fun with new poses lately! Now I love a good 3/4 facing left as much as anyone else, but there's only so much one can express with that pose!

I'm still getting used to the time change, but am also looking forward to longer and warmer summer days~ One of the art goals I had set for 2019 was to draw more backgrounds and I've been using these postcards as an opportunity to keep to that promise. It's been challenging and fun in new ways and...
