⭐️ real quick up top, in case you didn't know I have a patreon discord server! come hangout if you'd like, we talk about art, music, silly things, it's a chill space and a good time~ ^^ ⭐️

one of my favorite ways to loosen up when I'm feeling too precious about my art is opening up a sketchbook, grabbing a small handful of supplies, and scribbling. allowing myself to be messy is fun! and helps me stay open to the process and change rather than obsessing over details. practicing in a limited space also encourages me to make decisions instead of hemming and hawing forever until the cows come home and the sun explodes simultaneously (if you've been here any amount of time I can hear you groaning "you've already said this a million times vickiiii" i know and i love u <3).

I've particularly been enjoying color pencils and sketching in pen (pilot hi-tec 05 to be exact) lately. it's really satisfying to blend with color pencils I'm kinda obsessed....in fact, I got a 72 set of prismacolors (and some other things) that I'm really excited to play with once they arrive. of course, I'll share my experimentation here as well! ^o^
