❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // 2018 is the year of trying new things!

Hello there! ^o^/

Hope your Monday is going well so far~ I had a refreshing weekend and am ready to work hard this week. :D I don't have any specific art goals for 2018 other than to continually experiment and try new things. I've been playing around with traditional mediums such as gouache and acrylic, which has been such a fun experience. I'm keeping those pieces off the internet for the time being since its been nice making art that isn't intended for an audience other than myself. I think ...

January postcard // Apple blossom~

Hello there! ^o^/

First of all, happy new year! I hope you're having a good 2018 so far and are able to find time to fill your life with moments of happiness~ It's exciting to have a fresh start in life, though it's also true that we can change at any moment. I wanted to try something new to celebrate the new year and explore different approaches to creating. 

I've been inspired by lin...

☆ NEW ART ☆ // so...red is my new favorite color!

Hello there! (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ

Hope you're all doing well today~ I've got a fun art dump for you and have noticed an interesting theme among all the pieces...if you "red" the title you know what I'm referring to haha. I can feel my art going in a new direction as of late and I think it's developing in a way that feels more true to my self and that's been really exciting! I've been taking more time each day to focus on myself and practice self care. It has allowed me to approach each day with g...

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON DECEMBER POSTCARD!

Hello there! ー( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ<3

To those who pledged $10 in December, thank you so much for your support! You may be wondering when your postcard is being sent out/arriving. Before we go on, I want to make it clear that your postcard WILL get sent out, no worries about that. However, due to recent mudslides in my area, the main highway 101 has been closed off delaying packages that pass through Los Angeles and north into Santa Barbara where I live. This means that th...

WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // drawing tasty desserts!

Hello there! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

Happy Monday! Hope you had a refreshing weekend~ I've got a fun sketchdump this week for you filled with lotsa love and even more pink. I think I've reached a point where I accept the color pink as a part of my identity and actively want it in my life because it makes me happy. :D So without further ado, let's get into it! 

Above: I had this very clear idea in my head of an art series I wanted to make involving D.Va and strawberry desserts. Why? ...Well, b...

☆ JANUARY POSTCARD ☆ // Apple blossom~

Hello there! ^^ /

Hope you're having a good day so far~ I had a bit of a rough start this morning, but things have continually looked up since then and I'm grateful to be awake and see the beautiful sun shining. :D 

With the start of 2018 comes our first monthly postcard! In my recent sketchdumps I've been talking about how I want to experiment more with lineart and I thought it'd be a good...

WEEKLY SKETCHBOOK ❤ // pushing myself to do more!

Hello there! ^o^/

Hope you're having a lovely 2018 so far~ The new year has been kind to me so far and I want to keep using that energy to move forward and learn new things. So far I've been pushing myself to try new poses, styles, and compositions and trying to add more detail to my work in general. I think toward the end of 2017 I had reached a point where I felt very comfortable in my style. And while there's nothing wrong with operating within my comfort zone, I'm a person who likes to hav...

GOODBYE 2017 !!!

Hello there! (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ

It feels exciting and humbling all at once to be writing up this post. Reflecting on 2017, even specifically in relation to Patreon and you as a patron, I can clearly see all the wonderful things that we've achieved together. 2017 in particular was a year of many firsts. 

Some of you may remember that this was my first year working full-time as a freelancer. I had very little experience, a lot of anxiety about my capabilities, and was so afra...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // following the lines~

Hello there and happy new year! (/^▽^)/

Hope you're having a lovely day so far~ Personally, I'm super excited to tackle the new year. I have so many fun projects planned and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you as the year goes on. 

I've been taking some time to reflect (when am I not though haha I feel like I go through a creative/life rework every few months) and think about what it is I like to draw. I keep wanting to push myself to try new things, to hone in on what an...

Hello there and happy holidays! ^o^

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate~ 

o<( ´∀｀)っ┌iii┐　Ｍｅｒｒｙ　Ｘ’ｍａｓ

Today's post is scheduled since I'll be taking the day off. ^^ Can you believe this is officially the last weekly sketchdump of 2017? Next time we sketchdump it'll be the new year! It's weirding me out to think about it. Anyway, I don't want to get too sappy in this post because trust me I have one of those planned before the end of the ...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // leaving my comfort zone!

Hello there! (*~▽~)

Hope your day is going well so far~ I'm excited to share this week's sketches with you because I've been trying out some new things! I've learned in the past not to branch out too quickly when experimenting so I've been dipping my toes into new techniques here are there and it's been a lot of fun. :D Without further ado, let's get into the sketches! 

Above: I love drawing school uniforms and thought it'd be fun to draw some very cool teens on their phones. I re...

NEW CUTE ART // drawing what I love~ ♡

Hello there! (´ ∀｀)♡

Hope you are doing well~ I've recently gotten some time to properly sit down and make finished artwork and it's been such a wonderful experience. I went back through my sketches from months ago, chose some of my favorites and fleshed them out. These last couple weeks have been particularly stressful, but I'm currently in a position/environment where I can focus on making art and I'm thoroughly grateful for these moments. I'm really happy to share that Patreon listen...

Hello there! ~ヾ(＾∇＾)

How's your Monday going? <3 I'm really excited to share this news with you. I'd like to offer all patrons a chance to snag a copy of my 2018 calendar a day early! This project is close to my heart because it represents a collective journey that we've gone through here on Patreon.

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // everything is PINK

Hello there!

Hope your day is going well so far! ^^ It's funny how last week's sketchdump was an exploration of colors other than light pink and in this week's compilation it's an explosion of pink. I can't help myself, pink is such a fun and pretty color it's hard not to use it. :D 

Above: My fascination with jellyfish continue! I don't feel like I'm done exploring the subject yet. If anything November's postcard was an introduction to the topic...

☆ DECEMBER POSTCARD ☆ // strawberry star burst

Hello there! (/^▽^)/

Hope your day is going well so far~ It feels incredible and unbelievable all at once to say this, but we've reached the final postcard of this year! I wanted to finish the year with a bang and create something that felt both complete in closing out the current year and hopeful for the new year on the horizon.

It's interesting thinking back on my original intention for this series (headphones) and seeing how it has changed over this year. It became a lesson of learn...

November postcards mailed out! ☆…..φ(-ω-｡`)

Hello there! _φ(*￣ω￣)ﾉ

Thank you so much for your support last month. All November postcards were mailed out today! I really enjoyed decorating your envelopes this month with tiny festive drawings. ^^ 

US patrons you can expect to receive them in a few business days and international patrons you'll receive them in roughly a week or so. The postcards printed beautifully (bright colors and crisp lines) so they should stand out nicely wherever you choose to put them i...

EDIT Patreon rolled back the fees! WOOHOO! :D

DISREGARD THIS POST, Patreon has publicly apologized and taken back their proposal to impose new fees! Our voices were heard! ^o^

Hello there! ⊂((・▽・))⊃

Hope your day is going well! Today's post isn't as peppy as normal but I think it's important to discuss. As you may already know Patreon sent out an email today talking about new fees that they'll be implementing on all new pledges made starting Dec 18. The fee is $0.35 + 2% so for example if you're currently pledging $1 your ...

The holiday season is here at LAST and I know there are plenty of you who are just as excited as I am! The twinking lights, the sound of bells, and the beautiful sparkling decorations everywhere..../sigh/ it really does make my heart sing!

♡ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ♡// in a weird phase

Hello there! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

Hope your day is going well so far~ I took a mini-break for Thanksgiving to recuperate from fulfilling shop orders and am happy to report that it was a wonderful and relaxing holiday. I ate an incredibly amount of delicious food and got to try out VR for the first time! It was a unique and slightly trippy experience. :D 

As the title states I'm in another transition-y stage of my art right now. I feel like I go through one of these every couple ...

♡ OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER CALENDAR ♡ // cooling down and getting cozy~

Hello there! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Hope you've been well~ As the end of the year draws nearer the excitement for upcoming holidays becomes more palpable! The seasons are changing (even in central California where it's 75 year round haha) and the colder weather encourages me to reflect on the feelings I want to bring out in my work. 

In October (see above image) I aimed for a sense of cozy and warmth. I was tempted to draw something Halloween-themed but decided to approach the month m...

❤ SKETCHBOOK DUMP ❤ // overflowing with new ideas~

Hello there! (*⌒∇⌒*)

Hope you're doing well~ I've been getting back into the swing of things now that Inktober is over and it has been wonderful! Drawing digitally is just such a great way to put the ideas that are swimming around in my head into physical form. It allows me to work much faster compared to traditional art, which has been necessary considering the load of ideas that had been building up throughout October. I finally have the time to sit down and draw without abandon a...

Hello there! ∩(´∀｀∩)

Hope your day is going well so far~ As the holidays draw closer and closer my excitement for the season only grows. However, I find myself in a frenzy of deadlines that all seemed to pile up simultaneously. Nonetheless, I'm just trying to take it on one task at a time and avoid any unnecessary stress. ^^ 

Schedule aside, I've finished the postcard for November and I want to share it with you! I originally had something entirely different planned (a...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP & MONTHLY REWARDS ❤// girls make the world go round

Hello there! (*⌒▽⌒*)θ～♪

Hope your day is going well so far~ October was a busy month in which I spent a majority of my time dedicated to Inktober. I didn't get to work digitally as much as I'd like, but it only means I have a newfound appreciation for making digital art! 

Let's start the sketchdump off with some Overwatch. :D Above: Playing around with lighting! I want to try incorporating it more into my work, I love how it can change the look and feel of a drawing insta...

INKTOBER // thoughts, lessons learned, and what's next?

Hello there! （⌒▽⌒ゞ

Well, we did it. 31 days of ink drawings throughout the month of October. It was an exciting, interesting, and transformative learning experience. I'm so happy we were able to see it through to the end and create a compilation of fun plant witches. I'm glad I did it and even more grateful that I had the opportunity to share this month with you. 

And to be honest? It was really hard! 

There were so many times I wanted to g...
