August postcard: Flora

Hello everyone!

Hope you're having a good day so far~ I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting a cactarium this summer and simply fell in love with the flora. I'm a big fan of succulents and cacti (even have a few of my own!) so seeing different and new species in person was a dream. I think they're really cool and I admire how resilient they are. I also love how they come in a rainbow of rich colors that brighten up any plant pot. In some way I feel like each species even has it's own pers...

GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS (lotsa new art!)

Hello everyone!

How are you doing today? / (ㅇㅅㅇ❀)＼I've been working on and finishing a lot of artwork recently and I want to share it with you. I've been feeling an indescribable art groove lately though I know part of it can be attributed to a healthier mental space. I've made it a point to be more mindful of what things positively and negatively affect my mood and have consciously cut out the bad bit by bit. As a result I feel more focused and able to draw the things I actually wan...

Sketchdump time! Overwatch shenanigans and finding my style

Hello everybody!

And happy Monday~ ^-^ How've you been? I've got your weekly dose of sketches ready to go so if you're ready let's hop right into it! 

Above: I played a lot of Overwatch this weekend (trying to get the Summer Games skins) and felt oddly compelled to draw some of the dudes. I think a lot of their personalities are quite comedic and I find a lot of humor in their characters. Reaper is especially funny, I like to think of him as a grumpy guy who gets annoyed because peo...

EVERYTHING IS PINK (recently completed artwork! ^-^)

Hello everybody!  ฅ(＾・ω・＾ฅ)

Hope you're all having/had a lovely Wednesday~ I've got a lil' art dump for you today that I hope you'll enjoy. ^^ I'm really enjoying pinks/peaches/pastels lately so you'll be seeing quite a bit of those colors.  I've been taking a slower approach with my artwork recently, a habit I acquired during my vacation when I drew only with pencil and paper. I didn't touch my tablet once and doing so gave me a new appreciation for the value of a singl...

Sketchdump time! ^-^ Fairies, bunnies, and more~

Hello everyone!

I'm back at home from a much needed vacation and I feel thoroughly refreshed and ready to tackle art projects! >:3 I also feel like my state of mind is much calmer and less stressed, which is helping me to focus on the things I want and need to do. During my time off I made the effort to explore my style and see what works and what I needed to change. I'm very happy with the direction it's going in and am excited to continue drawing!

Weekly sketchdump! a pencil and a paper are all you need~

Hi everybody! 

Hope you've all been well~ ^^ I've got your weekly roundup of sketches to deliver on your doorstep. I've worked strictly in traditional medium this past week and its been so nice switching gears and taking a break from digital. Recently, I've been much more interested in detailed sketches and have encouraged myself to take time with each stroke. I like how they feel more polished rather than quick and messy like my digital sketches. It actually feels quite therapeutic to ma...

ENAMEL PINS ARE COMING! :)

Hi everyone!

Hope your Monday is going well so far~ I've got some exciting news to share. Since we last spoke about enamel pins I've been putting the production process into motion and contacting the pin company! Production started over a week ago so they're on the way to becoming real designs! :D They sent me some proofs that I'd like to share with you because I think they look real snazzy. FYI pins will be roughly `1" x 1" except for the star girl pin which is ~ 1.5" tall.

Weekly sketchdump! Ladies and Nintendo~

Hi everyone!

Hope you had a lovely Monday~ I've gathered up another round of sketches and am excited to share them with you! So without further ado, let's dive right into it.

I wanted to brush up on my poses and made it a point to have that as the center of my practice last week.

I especially paid attention to kissing poses. I tend to have a lot of trouble with them since I don't dr...

July postcard: Pet Sounds

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to my Patreon! Hope you're enjoying your summer so far~ Personally, I've been experiencing copious amounts of sun, sweat, and stickiness so I know for a fact that summer is in action. To pay homage to these sunny days I've splashed a particularly warm marigold onto the background of this month's postcard for a fun touch. I also wanted to draw some cute cat headphones and added in some kitty friends to go with the theme. Don't you just want to give them a big hug an...

Weekly sketchdump! Muse-ical influences~

Hi everyone!

Hope you're having a lovely Monday so far~ I've got another weekly roundup of sketches to share with you today! I've also gone ahead and included the July wallpaper and process photos with this post. As usual, I've attached them as a .zip file that you can download (should be at the bottom of the post), unzip, and enjoy! ^^ 

Let's get some housekeeping out of the way. Since I've changed my sketchbook posting schedule to weekly the other rewards will change as well. From...

July postcard KITTIES + new art! :D

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend~ ^^ I've got some fun pieces to share with you today! For starters, I've completed the postcard piece for July. Once again, I've tried out something new and I'm quite pleased with the outcome! I've gone back to my headphones theme and wanted to draw something super cute and thought adding kitties would be particularly fitting for the occasion. :D I really enjoyed working in this softer inking style and will try exploring it more.

July calendar piece!

Hi everyone! 

Hope you're enjoying your summer so far! California has been a land of heat waves and I've been absolutely sweating my shorts off. I don't mind the heat though, it's a nice chance to get some much needed sun, which makes me really happy!  

The image you see at the beginning of the post is the calendar piece I drew for the month of July. Oh yeah, I'm working on a calendar for 2018! Check out pieces from the past months here:

New art + important Postcard update! :O

Hi everyone!

Hope you're having a lovely week so far ^^~ I've got some recently finished art to share with you all! $5 patrons you might be familiar with the Red Velvet piece >u> (I finished it!). If you don't know what Red Velvet is, they're a kpop group and they recently released a new EP! It's super cute, I recommend checking them out. For those who are Red Velvet fans, which song off their ne...

Weekly sketchdump! :D

Hi everyone!

Once again, happy Monday! Hope you all had a lovely weekend~ Now let's get ready to tackle this new week and give it our best! 

If you're not familiar with kpop, lemme give you a very quick update. One of my favorite groups, Red Velvet, released a new EP for the summer yesterday and I'm in love. The music video for the song Red Flavor is adorable and I love the outfits so much ...

July calendar piece completed! ^^ Bright lights and long nights~

Hi everyone!

Happy weekend! Hope you get to enjoy yourself and do something fun today~ :D In the meantime, I've got a new piece to share with you! For July, I wanted to capture something that I heavily associate with the summertime, especially July 4th (in America that is): FIREWORKS! Last year I had the pleasure of using sparklers for the first time and I thought the experience was magical. Holding and watching the crackling light dance around was like enjoying a mini-fireworks show at my fin...

Happy Monday! Let's do our best to work hard and have fun this week~ ^^ I've got a weekly sketch roundup to share with you today. Why wait further , let's dive right in! :D

Devil Mercy to go with Angel Mercy :D

Hi everyone!

Hope you all have had a lovely weekend~ At the request of one of my lovely patrons (hi Diane!) I've filmed a mini inking demo to share with you all! ^-^ You can check out the video right up there and see how I use the Pentel Pocket Brush P...

I'M MAKING PINS

Hi everyone! 

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend so far~ I managed to start off the day on a productive foot so fingers crossed I can keep that momentum rolling! This has been a long time coming, but I finally sat myself down and drew up some enamel pin designs! I'm a big fan of enamel pins myself so I'm very excited for this opportunity to make some of my own. I've been brainstorming for a bit and came up with these cuties that I'm SO excited to make. *u* I did a bit of manufacturer...

Poppy

Hi lovelys!

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend~ I've got a new postcard design to share with you today! This piece for June features bright splashes of red inspired by one of my favorite flowers, poppies. I think they're adorable flowers and love how bold and warm they look. Plus, seeing them always makes me happy so why not draw them :D (Want to see the other postcards I've done this year? Check it outtt)

NEW ART and drawing more!

Hi everyone! 

Hope your weekend has been enjoyable so far~ I recently mentioned that I've been wanting to change the way I post for my $5 patrons and this post is the beginning of that change! What is that change? Well, I will start posting weekly sketchbook updates from now on instead of monthly sketchbook compilations. I actually used to do this when I was in college, but it became difficult to keep up with since I had so much schoolwork and tests that took priority. Bu...

June postcard: Poppy

Hi everyone!

Hope you are having a lovely weekend so far~ I've finished the postcard design for June and wanted to share it with you all! I had this vivid image in my mind of a woman with big blooming flowers and this is what I came up with. I've always loved poppies (they actually made an appearance in April's postcard as well!) and think they look like very fun and playful flowers. I especially love their color, that bright zingy red is such a treat for the eyes~

Wonder Woman is Wonderful + new art!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday to you all~ So, I recently watched Wonder Woman and I was...for lack of better words completely blown away. I didn't walk into the theater with much expectations, good or bad. I'm not particularly interested in the DC universe or comic books so I had very little background of Wonder Woman as a character as well as what she stood for. I had asked on Twitter whether or not I should give it a chance and the answers were overwhelmingly YES. So, I went. And I'm so glad I d...

Sketching in public! /gasp/ + tips 'n tricks

Hello everyone!

HAPPY FRIDAY WOO~! /mini-explosion of streamers and confetti/ Hope you have something fun or relaxing planned for the weekend! So, last weekend I went to Starbucks and tried something new. I've been itching to practice my gesture and figure drawings and while the internet is replete with resources and reference photos, I wanted a more dynamic sketching experience. I followed the advice of Fran Meneses on YouTube and gathered my materials in my backpack for a cafe sketch...
