Hello loves! °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °
Welcome back to another sketchdump, I hope you've been well! ^-^ I stuck to my goal and managed to draw every day of January! I want to keep the momentum going and continue this practice throughout 2019. I really think it’s helped me break past the usual barrier of resistance I have when it comes to drawing and has enabled me to draw more of what I enjoy. It’s been incredibly fulfilling and I know I can keep it up so I’m going...

Hello loves! ヾ(๑ㆁᗜㆁ๑)ﾉ”
I wanted to get your feedback on something I'm working on! If you're here you're probably like me and you love stickers. We've gotten into the swing of things with monthly large stickers, but I'm really interested in making sticker sheets chock full of tiny stickers! I really like using these every day in my planner, journal, and anywhere else I think could use a boost of cuteness. :3
Above is my first sticker sheet design! I'd really ...

Hello loves! (.=^・ェ・^=)
Welcome back to another installment of Ask Vicki! The series where you ask questions about all things art and I do my very best to answer. I'm excited to share today's topic because it's a frequently asked question amongst all creatives and something that I regularly think about myself. Fellow patron Alex asked:
- Q: When did you feel you started making a transition from kinda replicating images/what you were being taught to developi...

Hello friends! (-^〇^-)
How are you? I hope you're doing okay! <3 I mistakenly watched a scary movie before bed last night and got a bad night's sleep so that's how my Monday's going so far. TuT;; In this sketchdump I focused a lot on poses and objects. I want to set an intention for this week to draw more characters in environments. I think orienting people and objects within a concrete environment is a different skill entirely from drawing people and objects in white space. I thin...

Happy new year I hope your day is going well! <3 First of all, congratulations on making it to 2019 whether you walked, ran, or crawled your way into this year I’m proud of you and am glad you’re here. ^^ I’ve been drawing every day since the start of the year to encourage myself to break past my fear of failure and embrace the fun of creating once again. In 2018 I struggled creatively so I’m tackling my problems head on this year by formi...

I hope you’ve been well! :D<3 I’m happy to share that we’re 10 days into the new year and my ‘draw every day’ mantra has been holding up well! I definitely feel more comfortable with drawing now then I ever did in 2018 so that’s been a welcome change. It's nice not feeling so afraid anymore when I see a blank page. If anything I feel excited about the chance to draw! *w* Also I think I fail more confidently now? It feels weird to associate f...

I hope you had a good time over the holidays! I really took the time to relax to the fullest and at the same time reflect on how I wanted to change in the new year. I’ve been thinking a lot about what I create and whether or not I enjoy it. I really had to be honest with myself and seriously look at the answers to these questions. It’s something that I struggled with quite a bit in 2018 due to the mindset I had toward creating. I ...

How are you? I hope you've been okay! I've been gorging myself on content lately, which I think is integral to the creative process, and have been blown away by this month so far. From movies to music to games there's so much I'm drawn to! I've also been having fun just experimenting with different styles and seeing what new bits and pieces I'd like to incorporate into my own growing style. I'm very interested in the concept of style as something that continuously evolves an...

And so we've arrived at the last month of 2018.

and ok, well not really. I'd go by Vicki the Builder. Anyway, I haven't taken on a brand-new skillset and changed professions. BUT! I have been drawing a lot of houses recently to practice for a super fun project that will be revealed next month! *u* And I've learned something wonderful so far: I actually love drawing buildings! They really feel like characters as well!

A patron (hi Cat!) recently asked me some questions about art and I thought the answers might be helpful for other patrons as well!
