Granny & Cat - Final Illustration

Hello friends!

How are you doing today? I hope you had a good weekend. 

I just completed this painting that I've been working on for a little over a week. It feels really nice to pick up the pace a bit and get more illustrations done. They're all Japan-inspired at the moment because I'm planning an imaginary trip that might or might not happen in late 2021 - depending on how quickly we progress out of the current situation. (And of course, I'd only go if I'm sure it's safe.)

But yeah, I'm trying to stay positive and turning my anticipation into something productive. Since I started around Christmas, I've actually learned around 700 kanji characters. So I'm really pleased with that! 

And I've been going for daily walks, which has helped improve my mood a lot! The snow has been really nice. So all in all, feeling awesome and I hope it stays that way. 

I hope you like the painting and see you soon. <3

Thank you!! I was actually thinking of putting together a thread of resources for studying Japanese. I mainly use 1.) Tae Kim's grammar guide and JLPTsensei for grammar. 2.) iKnow! Japanese core 6000 for vocab and Shirabe Jisho (ios only) to look up words and kanji 3.) Heisig's "Remembering the Kanji" and the Kanji Koohi forum for studying kanji And Anki to get all the info into my head. Hope this helps! :)

Definitely! But I figured since it's more summery, I'm going to release it when it's a little warmer. :)

This is so beautiful! I would love to know where you’re learning Japanese too, I also want to learn!

Will you be doing a print run of this?
