Hello loves! ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

Happy Friday and cheers to the weekend after working so hard! :D Ready for a sketchdump? Because I gotcha covered. <3 

Above: Sat outside a couple mornings and painted my surroundings. Done in Procreate. Does anyone have tips for customizing brushes in Procreate? I still feel like my experience with them is clunky and unpredictable. :(

This week I took time to refine my linework because I have a tendency to over-rely on colors to capture...

☆ JULY POSTCARD + STICKER ☆// Summer daze~

Hello loves! ヽ(･∀･)ﾉ

How's your week going so far? I hope you've been well! ^^<3 So I'm super excited to share this month's rewards with you because I wanted to push myself in new directions with these pieces. >:3 

When I think of summer, I see two distinct color palettes in my mind. One is vibrant and bright, cerulean blue skies and colorful swimsuits. The other is faded and soft, white linens and light greens drenched in sun. I wanted to explore both of these ...

June went by so quickly in comparison to May, but I'm grateful for the time because I experienced growth in new ways. It r...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // a chat on perfectionism...

Hello loves! *(*´∀｀*)☆

And a happy fourth to my fellow U.S. patrons! ^^ I hope you've all been well~ 

Today, I want to be open about my current relationship with art and that requires talking about perfectionism. Basically, I'd reached a point with art where everything I made had to be perfect, at least in my eyes. It kept me well in my comfort zone and fearful to approach anything outside of it. It felt like no matter what I ended up drawing the same thing, which grew frustr...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // tiny drawings...

Hello loves! (｡´∀｀)ﾉ

Hope you've been well~ I've been playing around with the iPad more as of late, testing out different brushes and just making art. I'm trying not to control the outcome of my drawings as much and to just kinda go with the flow and be open to changes as they happen. I feel like I'd gotten to a point where I was so concerned with everything looking perfect that I didn't allow room for experimentation. So cheers to trying new things and breaking out of monotony!!!&nbs...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤// is quantity better than quality???

Hello loves! ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

How are you? Hope your week is going well so far~ ^^ As you may have gathered from the title, this week's sketchdump is longer than usual. Also, to answer the question, no, I don't think quantity is better than quality. However, I do acknowledge the benefit of quantity because it can help you get out a lot of ideas in a shorter amount of time. 

I've also found that it can override my need for perfectionism, which in turn encourages me to draw bec...

Hello loves! (ღ′◡‵)

How was your weekend? I actually went on a small trip over the weekend, hence the sketchdump not going up on Monday, and I had a lovely time seeing my partner's friends and family. ^^ 

As mentioned in last week's sketchdump, I decided to give acrylic paints a try! Above: Here are my first few attempts at painting traditional landscapes. I feel like a total beginner, but I'm okay with that! The most challenging part so far is mixing colors. It's so tricky ...

☆ JUNE POSTCARD + STICKER ☆ // Summer witches~

Hello loves! ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

Happy Friday! Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend? ^^ I might take another trip to the beach and enjoy the warm summer weather that his quickly rolled into town~ 

I'm really excited to share these super colorful and summery pieces with you today! In my last post I talked about how Mermay encouraged me to approach my creative process in new ways and I felt inspired to bring that into this month's postcard! It feels different from the ...

★ MERMAY 2018 ★: my experience, what I learned, & would I do it again?

Hello love! (≧∇≦)/

I hope your day is going well so far~ Now that Mermay is officially over and I've had some time to reflect on it, I want to share my experience and how things changed throughout the month. This year's felt different from the last and I want to explore why and how that happened. I'll break it down into digestible categories so you can easily navigate through the sections. Without further ado, let's get into it! :D

★ MAY REWARDS ★ // phone wallpapers, process photos, and sketchbook!

Hello love! (o^∀^o)

Hope your day is going well so far~ And so another month has passed! How was your May? Did you learn or try anything new? I discovered that I love taking morning walks along the beach and that it brings me peace and inner calm when I'm feeling overwhelmed or lost. uvu

The zip file attached at the bottom of this post includes May's wallpaper, process photos, and sketchbook compilation. Just download, unzip the file, and enjoy! ^^ A patron suggested I offer phone back...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤// back to basics~

Hello there! ♡♡+.ﾟ(￫ε￩*)ﾟ+.ﾟ

Hope you had a lovely weekend! I got to spend time at the beach and decompress now that Mermay is over. It was amazing, there were dogs everywhere running around being carefree and enjoying life, it just made me feel like everything was going to be okay~ 

I've switched it up for this week's sketchdump and gone the traditional route. I've found that drawing with a ballpoint pen has sped up my process and increased the quantity of my drawing...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // challenging myself

Hello loves! ^u^

Hope your day is going well~ I've really been trying to challenge myself skill-wise and draw things that I'm unaccustomed to working with. I've definitely gotten into a comfortable spot drawing women, but there are so many other subjects out there that I want to explore and improve. I'm currently interested in drawing environments for characters to operate within so I tried out some new things! ｡^‿^｡

Above: I'm still playing Persona 5 and wowww the environments in ...

Hello loves! ^o^/

I hope your day is going well so far! I've got a smaller sketchdump to share with you today (Mermay has kept me very busy @_@) but I hope you enjoy it! ^-^ 

Above: The met-sona tag was going around a couple weeks ago and I was itching to make a design of my own! I couldn't settle on one so decided to make two haha. After drawing them out I think the one on the left is more fitting simply because...I never wear white LOL.

Hello loves! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I hope your day is going well so far~ Can you believe it's already been a full year since the first Mermay we traversed together? o_o I barely can, but I'm happy to share that I'm participating in Mermay full force this year as well and am dedicated to finishing the challenge and presenting you with another 31 mermaids! >:D 

I wanted to share some tutorials with you regarding my traditional work since my process has changed a bit since last...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // so many dresses!!

Hello loves! (灬♥ω♥灬)

Hope you had a relaxing weekend and happy mother's day to all the moms out there! ^^ With Mermay still in full blast, it's been interesting balancing making a full piece every day and pushing myself creatively with weekly sketches. I feel like because the Mermays are so detailed my sketches have started to become more simple and gesture-like, which I don't mind at all since I've felt a general stiffness in my work for some time. I never know what lessons I'll lear...

☆ MAY POSTCARD + STICKER ☆// Sweet Rose

Hello loves! o(*^▽^*)o

I'm so excited to share this month's pieces with you because I got to work with one of my all-time favorite colors, pastel pink! I was really in the mood to draw flowers and felt like something light and springy would go well with this time of the year. :D I wanted these pieces to feel very clean, like a breath of fresh air~ $10 patrons, I'm mailing out your April rewards next Friday May 18 <3.

Hello loves! ヾ(｡･ω･)ｼ

Hope you had a lovely weekend and Monday to start off the week! As I'm typing up this post I'm seeing a flood of all the looks from the Met Gala event and I'm literally drooling over some that I can't wait to draw (Zendaya's Joan of Arc costume? wow.....wow oh wow..... *_*). So expect to see some of those in next week's sketchdump! *w* Anywho, I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's get onto this week's sketches!

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤// experimenting with style!

Hi loves! 

Hope you had a good Monday! ^o^/ Quick message before we proceed: this week's sketchdump will not include or collect requests. Requests will resume in next week's sketchdump! Thank you, that is all! Now back to our scheduled programming~ Recently I've felt like my style has started to feel stale/stray from what I want to draw. I've been playing around with different mediums to encourage myself to sketch more freely and bridge the gap between where I am versus where I want to be...

Hello loves! (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ

Thanks for tuning in to this unusual posting of this week's sketchdump. :'D I wasn't expecting such a supportive response on my vacation post, so thank you so much for your understanding, you're absolute angels! TTuTT It was really nice taking a break and seeing old friends and I think the experience made me eager to approach art in a new way! ^o^ I got to stay at my childhood home and look through a lot of manga series that inspired me growing up and I feel insp...
