❤ OCTOBER POSTCARD ❤ // autumn leaves + brushes I use~

Hello there! ~(=^‥^)/

Hope you're all having a lovely autumn so far~ ^-^ I've been celebrating by baking lots of yummy treats, lighting candles, and participating in Inktober (you can see my posts every day on Twitter @vickisigh!). To further embrace the new season I wanted to bring October's postcard into the mix. I saw a picture of raspberry plants and fell in love with their warm and rich colors. The reds, oranges, and yellows contrasted against the bright greens reminded me perfectly of ...

WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP + SEPTEMBER REWARDS // designing my own figurines simply because I can

Hello there! (=^･ｪ･^=)

Welcome back to my Patreon and happy second day of October! No, it's not a national holiday but I'm just so excited that it's October because it means the holidays aka my favorite time of year, are right around the corner and I'm just so excited! :D As the title indicates I've got a sketchdump and monthly rewards to share with you today. Before we dive into the sketches I've compiled the rewards (process photos, wallpaper, monthly sketchbook) into a zip file that s...

INKTOBER HAS BEGUN! // plans, process, and projects!

Hello there! (*･▽･*)

Happy October and to my U.S. friends happy Halloween 1st! :D Inktober has officially begun and I plan on sticking it out through all 31 days. This will be my second Inktober and technically my third monthly challenge so I think I have some perspective on the process at this point. Picking up my red pencil this morning and breaking out the copic markers felt all too familiar yet entirely new at the same time so I'm excited to see what this month has in store for us. (...

MERMAY ZINE IS FINALLY HERE! /angelic choir sings/

Hello there! ^-^

I know I know, it's been how many months since Mermay ended? Regardless, I finally pushed aside my anxieties and dedicated my time to making my first zine and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. As another monthly challenge looms in our near future (Inktober I see you...) I'd like to celebrate a previous monthly challenge. I proudly present to you the official Mermay 2017 collection! ^^

A LITERAL ART DUMP// I've been drawing a lot...

Hi everyone! <3

Boy do I have a lot to share with you today. I've built up a solid collection of drawings this past week going through my sketches and realizing that I have a lot of material to work with. So I put my nose to the grindstone and just churned out one piece after the other. (Churned is such a weird word now that I'm thinking about it...) With that being said let's dive on into the mix!

Above: I am in FULL FALL MOOD. I drew Mercy in some cute fall clothing that I thought w...

WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP // back to digital artwork AGAIN

Hi everyone! :D

I've got a colorful sketchbook collection for you today because as the title states I have gone back to working primarily in digital medium! I noticed I do this every few months or so, switching between digital and traditional, and I think it's a way for me to reset my mind and try out new techniques when I feel stuck. Also it's purely coincidence but the pages are in rainbow order which I was pleased to discover when putting together this post. :)

SEPTEMBER CALENDAR // Fall is here!

Hello everyone!

Happy Autumn, hope you're having a lovely Monday so far~ Every time I complete another calendar piece it reminds me that we're getting closer and closer to the end of 2017 which is such a wild thought! It's that time of year when the holidays are in clear sight and the atmosphere feels a little more festive and fun. I've been fully immersing myself in the season as well and have decorated my space with an adorable sugar pie pumpkin and fall-scented candles. I also plan on bakin...

Hello there!  ❀ ✿ ❁ 

Welcome back and thank you for stopping by today~ (^・ω・^ ) Hope you've been well, I've got a lot of sketches to share with you so let's just get right into it!  

Trying to practice more poses as I felt my characters were starting to feel stiff. I like doing gesture sketches, it gives me an opportunity to loosen my hand and draw more freely. ^^

A LOTTA NEW ART // it's all in the details~ ♡

Hello there!  ♪ ♫ ♩ 

Welcome back to my Patreon, I'm so glad you could join me today~ I've been working on a lot of new pieces recently and I'm excited to share them with you. Lately, I'm paying more attention to details and using them to add visual interest to my work. I tend to draw quickly and gloss over the finer strokes, but taking the time to reflect on why I want to draw something allows me to create characters that tell stories implicitly through their actions or what t...

September postcard // Chaotic flora~

Hello there!

HOW I CEL-SHADE DRAWINGS // STEP-BY-STEP~

Hi there! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I've made another tutorial, this time about how I cel-shade my drawings. It's a follow up to my first tutorial about sketching faces so the drawing should be familiar. The purpose of this series is to cover the basics of how I bring artwork from sketch to finished digital painting and everything in between. So without further ado, tutorial time! ^^

I'm making my first zine! ♡

Hello there! 

Hope you've been well and thanks so much for stopping by today~ ^-^ I'm very excited to share that I'm (finally) taking steps toward making my Mermay zine! Even though it's months later I'm glad I'm starting on it now. I feel like my personal style has been evolving in a way that more closely matches how I see my ideal self and I truly believe that's only been benefiting my work. I've been making deliberate efforts to discover and understand my personal taste (Pinterest...

♡ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ♡// flower takeover~

Hello there! 

Hope you've been doing alright~ <3 The world's been pretty wild as of late and hopefully some art can bring a little bit of light into your life! I've really been into drawing flowers and plants lately and I'm putting them in practically every other drawing I do haha. I think it adds just the right amount of detail and interest to a sketch without making it too crowded or busy. ^^

August calendar ♡// sweet cream after school~

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to my Patreon and thank you so much for joining me here today! A bit belated, but I've finally completed my drawing for August~ I don't associate any major holidays or events with August so it was a bit difficult to come up with something that would really capture its essence. I decided to go with a subtle back to school theme and what better way to treat yourself after a long day of school and extracurriculars then to eat yummy food with friends? (*^▽^*)

Happy Friday and thanks so much for joining me for a part of your day! ^-^ I apologize that this post is a bit late. I've attached August's rewards at the end of this post (lots of process photos and some spiffy wallpapers). Just download the zip file to see it all! :3 

I look back on August with a feeling of content and I'm happy with the subjects I've chosen to draw. Since then my ideas have only become more focused and closer to what I want to d...

So happy that you could join me here on Patreon today, I hope your day is going well~ I've got a lot of fun sketches to share with you.

WARM TONES // a lot of new art ♡

Hi everyone!

Welcome back, I hope you had a good day~If you had a stressful week hopefully some art can bring you a moment of respite! I've got a good bit of art to share with you in this post. I've been taking my style in a new direction recently (warmer tones, richer colors) and I've been very happy with its evolution. It feels more welcoming and worn-in than it used to and using these techniques makes me enjoy my work more, which is a tiny accomplishment in and of itself. :)

♡ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ♡// a week of ups and downs~

Hello everyone! <3

Hope you're all having a lovely day so far~ ^^ Last week was characterized by both good and bad art moments. There were days where everything clicked and flew out no problem. Other days were filled with a lot of head-scratching, long pauses, and erasing. I try not to take it too harshly though, we can only have good art days because bad ones exist, both are part of the journey and equally important. :)

That being said let's go through the sketches! :D

I want to make sure that everyone has a chance to see these! ^^)

So.

GOODBYE SUMMER~ // New art, lots of it ♡

Hello everyone!

Hope you're doing well today~ I've got loads of new art to share with you and I'm really excited about it! These pieces are all quite summer-y in tone and it's my way of celebrating this season and preparing for my transition into fall. In an unfortunate turn of events the weather is deciding to spike back up to 80 F + this week, but I'm determined to get into an autumn mood! I even broke out my fall candle and everything, a lil' bit of heat won't stop me! >:c Temperatures a...

♡ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ♡// changing things & making them better

Hi everyone! 

Hope you're having a lovely start to your week~ I've got your weekly dose of sketches here and have also tried out a new posting style! I've arranged my sketches in a new way and cleaned up my sketches. I like how it looks organized and feels more cohesive and hopefully you do to!  ♡
