🐈‍⬛👖 new sticker sheets arrived! kitties and NewJeans ⋆⭒˚｡⋆

Hello! \( ᐖ)/ (<- this emoticon is so silly I love it)

Just in case anyone forgot about my sticker obsession, I designed two new sticker sheets for my upcoming shop restock and am so happy with how they turned out! I was stuck in the formatting process for awhile (this is becoming a theme with making merch), but eventually got through and now get to have fun sticking them all over my journal. ^^ The effort's always worth it~ I hope you like them too!

I really want to make the...

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ star showers for your screen ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ phone wallpaper downloadable ⟡⟡⟡

Hello! ⋆⭒˚｡⋆

I've been exploring a lot of celestial imagery and themes in my art again as a result of allowing myself to draw things that I'm innately pulled toward. For this month's downloadable, I thought it'd be fun to make a phone wallpaper and came up with a simple, calming design featuring my beloved City Girl. You can download the wallpaper from the attachment at the bottom of this post. ✩°｡⋆⸜ 🎧✮

I hope you enjoy decorating your phone with this and mo...

✏️✧ September Sketchbook tour #1 ✧ doing the same thing differently

Hello! ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜

Lately, I've been revisiting the same themes again and again while sketching. It's been nice rediscovering what brings me alive while creating, what I feel best conveys the emotions I want to communicate. I used to see it as a detriment and forced myself to expand my familiarity with a breadth of subjects, that I wasn't a "real" artist unless I could draw a ton of different things. I've noticed though that so many of my favorite creatives tend to explore the sam...

👩‍🎨🖼️ trying oil pastels + chat about failing on purpose and being "good" at art

Hello! (๑ > ᴗ < ๑)

For a long time now when it comes to making art, digital drawing and painting have been my go-to. Following close behind is a sketchbook and pencil or pen. I've briefly experimented with other mediums like acrylic paint, gouache, watercolor (my sworn nemesis), color pencils, marker, and ink, but always found myself returning to the familiarity of the tablet and a sheet of paper. It was equal parts enjoyment and comfort, until it wasn't, and comfort became ...

🍊🌟 memo pads arrived and they came out so CUTE! (≧ヮ≦) 💕

Hello! 🐇

After a bit of wrestling with the proofs (ordering merch always makes my head hurt @.@), the memo pad designs were approved and printed! I received them a few days ago and want to share how they turned out. I made some changes from the versions I last showed you and I think they were for the better. I've already put them to the writing test and they're very comfortable to write on. I used a new company to make these and wasn't sure if the quality would be good, so I'm glad t...

🎂🌊 Art journal ☆ my birthday, memories, and newjeans (lol)

Hello! (..◜ᴗ◝..)

I celebrated my 29th birthday at the beginning of this month (happy birthday to my fellow Leos and August 4th bdays <3) and wanted to revisit some of the bright, loving memories of that day. I had the chance to spend time with loved ones, visit the beach (one of my favorite places in the world), and eat a feast of delicious food prepared by friends. Birthdays are usually a bit of a fraught experience since it's easy for me to get caught up in high expectations ...

💗 Patreon has positively changed the way I create, thank you! ❤️‍🔥

Hello! ヽ(≧◡≦)八(o^ ^o)ノ

It's been about 3 months since I relaunched my Patreon and I have nothing but good things to say about it! I want to dedicate this post to you all to say a big thank you for joining and supporting me here, because it has actually transformed my creative practice. THANK YOU!

✏️✧ August Sketchbook tour #2 ✧ she's Procreate pilled quite frankly

Hello! (*ฅ́ ˘ฅ̀*)♡

Recently, my partner generously gifted me a new ipad complete with a proper drawing stand setup (yay for no more neck or wrist pain!). Naturally, I jumped into playing around in Procreate after having spent the last few years nearly exclusively using CSP. Since it's been awhile, there was expected friction and awkwardness while learning my way around the program again. I spent several days familiarizing myself with the layout and tools like I was exploring th...

📝🍊🐇 Working on the memo pads! thank you for voting~ (*´▽`*)

Hello! (❀´ ˘ `❀)

Thank you all so much for your feedback on the memo pad poll, it was incredibly helpful to get a read on everyone's interest (131 total votes, so cool)! I chose to work on two designs to start with. I plan on doing the other popular designs in the future as well. The capybara design came in 2nd and the NewJeans design came in 7th, but I'm making it anyway because I want it....👀🥰

I think they both came out super cute and I hope you like them, too! I inc...

Hello! (ง ˃ ³ ˂)ว ⁼³₌₃⁼³

I have a new speedpaint for you today that covers my art process from start to finish. This was my first time editing a speedpaint (usually I upload them as is) and I'm learning a looot of new stuff, which is really fun! I downloaded and used DaVinci Resolve for the first time to edit and it's cool to have a new skill under my belt. I feel so professional adding things like zoom cuts, pans, and music haha. xD

📝💭[POLL] I'm designing new memo pads! ♫꒰･◡･๑꒱ help me choose which ones to make?

Hello! （＊＾ω＾）♪

I'm currently in the midst of designing new merch for the next shop restock and I want to make new memo pads! It's been awhile since I made one and I've had new ideas simmering on the back burner for awhile. I narrowed it down to 8 designs that I'd like to get your feedback on. The poll is multiple choice, so if you like more than one design you can cast several vot...

✏️✧ August Sketchbook tour #1 ✧ I am once again using every brush available to me

Hello! (●o’∪`o)ノ―♪`*.+

I can't be stopped apparently. 🤷‍♀️ Consistently use one or a handful of the same brushes challenge: impossible. Something overcomes me when I open up CSP, I'm like a raccoon getting my grubby lil paws on everything it can. I recently bought a new brush pack and have been going buckwild testing everything out. There are so ma...

✧new art!✧😮‍💨 kpop once again has me in a chokehold

Hello! (≧ヮ≦) 💕

Well, well, well, look where we've found ourselves again. /smirks amusedly/ 😏 

NewJeans, a kpop group that debuted last year, dropped their 2nd EP last month and I've been playing it nonstop for all intents and purposes. Most notably, the track ETA has burrowed it's way into my brain and made a home there. NewJeans is without a doubt my favorite group to come out of 4th gen kpop. The music, the styling, and the members' chemistry are all so fun and ...

In a recent sketchbook post, fellow patron Piper asked a great question:

✏️✧ July Sketchbook tour #2 ✧ experimenting with different styles

Hello! (❀´ ˘ `❀)

Getting into the flow of creating regularly has made me interested in exploring all sorts of different art styles. I learn a lot, almost too much, when I try a bunch of new things that the real challenge becomes finding a way to be selective about what I take with me moving forward. It's impossible to integrate everything into one's workflow, I think our styles are shaped by what we choose to both include and omit.

I'm learning that playing around w...

🌠 I made my first icon pack! ✧˖°. celestial icon pack downloadable 🌠

Hello! ⭐(ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡

I've always loved customizing my belongings, no surface too precious to be covered in stickers, photos, or drawings. It's almost instinctual once I spot a surface to then rush to the task of decorating it til I see fit. I think most things are improved with the addition of fun artwork and the digital space is no exception. I've been learning about the possibilities for customization when it comes to technology and the options have me rubbing my hands togethe...

🖌️ Ravens speedpaint ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ 🖌️

Hello! (❀´ ˘ `❀)

In my previous post I shared some quick Raven paintings I did. I really enjoyed letting loose, trying new oil paint brushes, and drawing my all time fav girl Raven. Sorry I didn’t record the sketch process, the sketches are kinda old and I wasn’t in the habit of recording my process at the time. Regardless, I hope the video is useful! ^^

🎨 painting Ravens and embracing the mess 🎨

Hello! ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰

I was in a sudden mood to paint yesterday and dug up some old Raven sketches to experiment on. I've been doing a lot of lineart sketches lately so it felt good to switch things up and exercise other areas of my skills. 

• I tend to sketch suuuper messy, because I like getting ideas down fast. Same reason why I like painting, I feel like I can be...

✏️✧ July Sketchbook tour #1 ✧ GOTTA GO FAST

Hello and happy Monday! ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜

Lately, I've been focusing on drawing speed and efficiency. There are a lot of things I enjoy drawing (e.g. comics, kpop) that are composed of many drawings or drawing multiple subjects in one piece. My workflow for some time now has been focused on details, languishing in the beauty of individual parts, and taking my time with iteration. However, that workflow doesn't fit well when multiple drawings are required to finish a project. If I'm used...

Hello! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

To celebrate 1 month since my Patreon's reopening, here's the speedpaint of one of the promotional drawings I did. You can see just how simple and messy it starts out. xD It always amuses me how all art begins as an idea inside our heads and grows and evolves on the page/instrument/stage into something tangible we can interact with and appreciate.

Hello! ✺◟(＾∇＾)◞✺

✏️✧ June Sketchbook tour #2 ✧ no fear of the blank page!!

Hello! ᕙ(  •̀ ᗜ •́  )ᕗ

One of my favorite things to do when I open up a painting program is to play around with colors and brushes. It goes like this, I'll choose a random color on the wheel, scroll to a brush I never use, and use that as a jumping off point to 'break the seal' of the empty page and get over my fear of drawing. The point is to draw something, anything, and not overthink the process. Using tools and color palettes that are unfamiliar help me avoid t...

🖌️📖 I made a comic! ヾ(≧∇≦)ゞ a day full of kpop, stickers, and screaming 🧎‍♀️

Hello! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

I recently attended my first kpop concert and had an incredible time!!! As a long term kpop fan (I've been listening since 2008), it was such a treat to see music and performers live that I had only ever known through the screen. The concert was for TWICE, a girl group I've been a huge fan of since their debut in 2015. They're easily the group I've been the most invested in for the longest time having watched plenty of their performances, vlogs, and drawn...

📦✂️ new merch & discount code! sticker sheets + prints (๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝*

Hello! ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

I made some new goodies for my upcoming shop restock and wanted to share them here first! Its been awhile since I last made a sticker sheet so I thought now's the perfect time. ^-^ I'm an actual sticker sheet fiend (I've been collecting them since I was a kid) and love getting the opportunity to make my own. Making this one has only made me eager to make even more haha. I used a new company called Jukebox to print the Raven drawings and I love how they came ...

✏️✧ June Sketchbook tour #1 ✧ embracing inconsistency

Hello! ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ )

Since my last sketchbook post in 2020, I've taken the time to learn a lot of Clip Studio Paint's basic tools and functions. My familiarity and comfort with the program has grown noticeably and it's made the actual motion of drawing much more enjoyable. I was fighting with the default settings for so long until it occurred to me that tools should feel good to use and aid you in making art, not constantly get in your way or frustrate you. I'm still regularly tweakin...

new art sneak peek! (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ it's hard to decide when something feels 'done'

Hello! 

I recently realized I had a LOT of finished/close to finished art just sitting around that I had forgotten about. Now that I have patreon again, I figured this is the perfect place to share those pieces! There's a random assortment of stuff here since a lot of these are months old and I've found myself in and out of interests since. It's fun to see what I was really into last year, looking through these drawings is like going through a mini time capsule. There are two versi...

(＾• ω •＾) Kitties weekly planner download -`♡´-

Hello!

I've been an avid user of planners and lists since I was a grade school student. These have been invaluable tools for me throughout school and now navigating the general openness of adulthood. I've used a variety of systems over the years and picked up along the way what works well and what not so much.

I decided to design a weekly planner page that fits my needs and preferences. It's a fairly simple design, but I think it's effective. I included a box to list 3 priorities ...
