✨✏️ (making of) november speedpaints + tools + thumbnail sketches

hello! (⌒ω⌒)ﾉ

I have more fun bts process stuff to show you this month since I used some traditional tools this time around. for those who are also nerds about process, this one's for you. 🫰 since I did the sticker sketch traditionally, I didn't record it, so the video for the sticker only features the flatting + coloring portion of the process.

November postcard + sticker 🍂🦌 a path of my own

hello! ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

November tends to put me in a reflective state. as the leaves lose their trees and become bare, so too do I strip back the collection of experiences that have accumulated throughout the year to consider what I’ve learned and how I hope to change. this month’s pieces are a love letter to that process and the quiet transformations we go through all the time bene...

happy halloween~! 🎃 i started playing pokemon and now all i want to draw are pokemon

I recently started playing pokemon tcg and have been reminded of all the cute pokemon that exist and the great urge I have to draw them all as cool n cute ladies in fun outfits. so I did exactly that. yes, I have a notes app list of all my fav pokemon. yes, I want very much to draw them as gijinkas. I also did a breakdown of energy type and most of my favorites fell into psychic or fairy energy...

draculaura bc it's almost halloween! 💖🖤🎃

the great bee incident of 2024 has passed (iykyk)

was really in the mood to draw some cute spooky outfits and looked no further than draculaura for sketch inspiration. the way a gothy pink/black combo never misses!! genuinely surprised I haven't drawn more of the monster high characters before. clawdeen esp, I love how fluffy and rocker chic her style is. I'm v excited for halloween, even...

welcome home good hunter~

yharnam is such a scary place, there's nothing better than returning home and being greeted by the sweet doll to escape the nightmare for a bit~ TwT<3 (tho whether you can ever really escape is another question...)

sakura haruno 🌸

thank you guys for the request! ^w^b

did some Sasuke and Naruto doodles a couple posts ago and thought it only fitting to draw Sakura as well! I had a lot of fun sketching a character from my teenage years and getting to revisit her after so much time has passed. I was a big fan of the series back in 2007-2009, but haven't kept up with it much since. even so, the series formed several of ...

because I simply can't resist and it is October after all isn't it? I'm so happy it's October. have you been doing anything to celebrate the spooky season? I've been lighting a lot more candles and have adorned my home with very cute n tiny pumpkins.

see how tiny they are? they are very good and I lov...

more messy painting bc it's fun :]

been pushing for more traditional elements in my digital art lately. since I'm working with traditional mediums more often, I've started noticing that the digital workspace can feel overly smooth and a little bit foreign. to balance things out, I've been using paper textures and gouache/textured brushes to add a rougher feel.

I've always been super inspired by 60s hair and makeup (so man...

i love cheap art supples~ -w- (big ol' sketchdump)

one of my top priorities when sketching is to feel comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, and playing around. affordable art supplies are my favorite way to get into the groove since pigmentation or longevity aren't my concerns. there's a playfulness that gets injected into the process when using cheap supplies, because I don't feel precious or fearful about running out and needing a price...

September mail has arrived! 🌟🌌⟡ ݁₊ .⭑𓂃

hello! ヾ(´ ▽ ` )

September mail is fresh from the printers and looking amazing! I think the colors turned out beautifully on both pieces and went with a fun glitter finish for details on the sticker sheet. I think it really makes the stickers twinkle and serves as a fitting complement for Nebula's (just came up with her name..!) love for stars. I've been having a lot of fun exploring...

cardcaptor sakura 🎀✨

thank you for the multiple requests! ^.^

I know Sakura has an immense wardrobe/catalogue of cute outfits, so I just went with the classic one with lots of pink and plenty of fluffy white frills. :3 other cute Sakura fits I really like:

working more with traditional materials has inspired ...

october wallpapers! 🖤🤍 (i made so many lol)

kinda got carried away playing with jpgs like dolls so I've got quite the variety of options for your screens this month! have fun trying them out to see which one suits your mood or fancy. ^_^

october speedpaints + playlist 🖤🔴🐦‍⬛

lol watching the replay I forgot just how many sketches I had gone through for the sticker. a lot of them felt too reminiscent of drawings I've already done and I didn't want to rehash the same pose for the umpteenth time when what I really wanted was to try something different. the sketch I ended up going with felt in line with my stylistic tendencies, but with fun new departures like energy a...

October postcard + sticker 🐦‍⬛🖤 shadows of nightfall

hello! ↑_(ΦwΦ)Ψ

the peak of summer has broken and the arrival of fall has ushered in cloudy skies, chilly breezes, and deepening evenings. the change in weather has inspired me to make darker art that is befitting for the transition of seasons and the eerie and otherworldly feelings that are brought about during the shifting days.

new challenge unlocked: scanning big art aka playing 4d chess

been on a big/traditional artwork kick ever since I picked up large paper by chance at the art store. bought my first set of soft pastels over the weekend to play around with and love how hazy and dreamy they look when smeared out. used them as a base for this piece to lay down some rough color over a color pencil sketch then d...

making big paintings with gouache + neocolors 😋🎨

came across some big paper at the art store and bought it, because I thought it'd be fun to do some big traditional paintings in my ongoing quest to make looser art. and boy was I not disappointed! I really love traditional mediums, because despite my strongest desires to be clean and color within the lines, they resist my efforts and always perform in an unpredictable manner (paint brushes hav...

feeling in motion

continued experimentation with messier digital art that mimics a traditional process. also generally encouraging myself not to feel so precious about what I make and embracing big change-ups while working on art. letting go of a long-held rigidity that I've noticed at times calcifying my process. it all comes and goes, like the ocean's tides, here one moment gone the next and back again.

madoka + a tiny homura 🩷💜

another request, thank you! ^.^

pretty sure I'll be drawing these two until I pass from this mortal coil (last 3 drawings are from 2013; if you remember these pieces you get a senior discount). I haven't rewatched the anime since (it broke me into a million pieces and I haven't recovered ^_^), but I'll always love the characters and love drawing them. I think it's cool how the series uses...

August mail has arrived! ^.^ 🌊🩵

hello! ⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝

August mail has come in from the printers and both postcards and stickers turned out beautifully! I'm a bit behind schedule since there was a formatting issue that needed to be worked out with the sticker, but it was well worth it since the final design looks so lovely. thanks so much for your support last month, I'm excited to get these out to y'all!

I'll...

I found a new fav art supply! (*≧ω≦*)🖌️💖

the aforementioned neocolors I ordered arrived a couple days ago and I excitedly sat down to play around with and test them out! I soon fell in love with the versatility of the medium and swiftly made several paintings. using neocolors feels like a marriage of all my favorite aspects of traditi...

another request, thank you! ^.^

this new overwatch hero's design is soo cute and right up my alley with the celestial motifs (<-she is a known star and moon enjoyer). I especially love the lil crescent moon detail on her bangs. I haven't actually played her yet since I don't play ow much these days, but it's always fun seeing the new designs and skins they come out with. :3c

korrasami :]❤️‍🔥

first request of the month, thank you! ^.^ had to draw these iconic queens to honor their impact. even though I've never watched the entirety of legend of korra, I remember when the finale aired and the internet went wild at the reveal (never forget "we poppin the BIGGEST bottles when makorra happens tomorrow" LOLL). lives were changed quite frankly. anyways, I'm happy for these two, long live ...

keepin' it messy ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

lately, I've been in the pursuit of messier art or more accurately art that feels more energetically expressive. I mentioned in my last sketch post that making digital art sometimes feeds a perfectionistic mindset, in which I get encumbered by the possibility of continually improving something, sometimes to its detriment. it's something I try to stay aware of, because it's a habit that's really...

september wallpapers! ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

got a new set of wallpapers for ya today, 2 for phone, 2 for desktop, 4 total! I hope you enjoy decorating your screens with some fresh art and immerse yourself in the soothing starry skies~

september speedpaints! ✨🌠

got a coupla fresh speedpaints for ya! since I did all my ideating/sketching digitally this time, you can see how many versions I went through before deciding on which ones to flesh out. I love seeing this kind of process stuff and how someone got somewhere. it's amusing that it's a little different every time, a nice reminder that life is full of little surprises. ^.^ one of my favorite parts ...

September postcard + sticker 🌠✨ shooting stars

hello!

I recently read a passage somewhere that described a character as "plucking stars from the sky". those words evoked an image in my mind that has stuck with me and I decided to draw this month's rewards inspired by that idea. celestial themes are an evergreen source of inspiration for me and like clockwork I feel compelled to make art filled with stars and deep blue skies.

making myself stay loose like i'm a rabid dog who won't let go

I have this tendency when making digital art to get overwrought in details. since I'm mainly a digital artist, I've developed a lot of habits over the years that allow me to use digital features to my advantage (layers and layer effects are p sweet), but have also led me to be overly controlling about the process at times. that tightness has often resulted in pieces that lack energy and emotion...
