★ [JULY SPEEDPAINTS] 🍓☀️ playlist + downloadable assets ★

hello! (⌒ω⌒)

a new month means a new speedpaint vid! I explored different stylistic territory with these pieces and learned a lot in the process of making them. as always, I started out with a rough brainstorm to come up with ideas for the artworks. my goal with this beginning stage is to keep things simple and readable. details can and will come later.

unless I have a VERY clear image in...

hello! 🍎☀️💦

my favorite season, summer, is finally here! ^_^ to get in the mood, I've been eating a lot of summer fruits that taste delicious during this time of the year. the warm weather and longer days inspire me so much and make me excited about life. the world feels colorful and bursting with electricity and movement. it puts me in good spirits and moves me to draw a bunch of things that make me happy. this month's mail is dedicated to all things wonderful and sweet ✩ 2024-07-01 12:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post

june photodump 🍒🌼 welcoming summer! ☆

hello! 🌞

summer is here and I am LOVING IT! the days feel so open and bright during this warm season and I relish the sense of opportunity and curiosity that comes with each morning. here are some photos I took this month:

1- I've been documenting Kuma's sleeping positions as it's gotten warmer. naturally, I had to make a collage out of it. tag urself. I'm middle right.

2- eating a lot of summer fruit lately! cherries and watermelon have been my go-tos. so tasty and refre...

[sketchdump] 🩷💚 drawing your requests! (=`ω´=)

hello! ⊂(･ω･*⊂)

time for another round of sketch requests! thanks so much for leaving your suggestions in the chat. you guys always give me such cool and interesting characters to draw and based on this sketchdump y'all seem to have a penchant for cuties and baddies LOL I really enjoy acquainting myself with a character for the first time and figuring out how I can convey their personality and energy through a drawing. it was especially fun choosing what colors to use to try to...

nayeon ABCD fits go hard + prep for newjeans 2nd anniversary! ^_^💖🐰

hello!

oh man, this summer has just started and we've seen so many great kpop releases already (Aespa, Nayeon, NewJeans, and now Red Velvet...life is good). they've been absolutely sustaining me throughout this past week of recovery and naturally I want to draw them all. I've been getting back into the swing of things and started with this adorable fit from Nayeon's ABCD that is incredibly rem...

✨ May rewards have arrived! :D ✨

hello! (⌒ω⌒)

check it out, a new batch of mail arrived from the printers this week! I'm happy to share that both postcard and sticker sheet came out beautifully. I've been practicing with a new camera and Kuma ended up joining me during the photoshoot. xD this was my first time designing a sticker sheet for patreon mail and it was a lot of fun! I've already gone ahead and stuck a couple of the stickers onto the front of my journal. I hope y'all enjoy the lil' holo details on each s...

sketchdump ☀️ feeling warm and getting messy

hello patrons! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

recently, I've been working on a handful of long term collaborative projects that have required sustained focus and specificity. now that one has wrapped and another is nearing the final stages, I've had more time to sketch freely without needing to follow any rules. I like to use periods like these to explore lesser-used mediums and experiment with style and technique. it's a way for me to loosen up and try new things without feeling pressure...

june 2024 wallpapers ✧₊⁺

hello!

I've got a fresh batch of wallpapers ready to go! I included 3 options for the phone wallpaper this time, because I know the lockscreen clock might interfere with the artwork. hopefully one of them will work for you/suit your taste. just download the files attached to this post and you're good to go. :] enjoy! ☆

🎉☆HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!☆🥳 + giveaway 🎟️🎁

hello patrons! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

today marks the 1 year anniversary of my Patreon relaunch! can you believe it? I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your invaluable support this past year. I don't want to linger on this point, but I was incredibly nervous about returning to Patreon and to have been met with this kind and supportive group of people (aka you guys) has been nothing short of wonderful and humbling. I have felt myself grow creatively in strides since ...

✷ June speedpaints + playlist 🎵🌈✷

hello patrons! \(^ヮ^)/

I'm back with another monthly speedpaints vid. continuing the tradition started in last month's vid, I've added music that I listened to while working on these drawings. I think it brings out a whole new dimension of the art, because it better captures how I felt while making it and how the final pieces came about as a result.

this is the rough sketch I did in my sketchbook before I started building things out in Procreate. I try to keep the drawing simple...

June postcard + sticker 🌈🎵⭐️ MIKU MANIAAA !!!

hello! (ˇ▽ˇ)ノ♪♬♫

as summer approaches, the warmer weather has inspired me to make art that reflects my love for the season's energy and light. I tapped into one of my longstanding favorites, Hatsune Miku herself, to channel those fun and lively characteristics. paired with graphic design and art styles I grew up with, I created a set of artworks that capture a bright mood that sings with color.

AESPA COMEBACK aaaaa 💖💖

just really wanted to draw a couple of my favorite looks from aespa's recent armageddon comeback. I think the stylists did an incredible job this time around and there are so many more looks I want to get around to drawing. I've been working on several long-term collaborative projects throughout this month, so it's a nice change of pace to open up a Procreate canvas and paint messily with randomly chosen brushes. messy doodles are good for the soul!!

hello patrons! (´▽`)

the weather in recent weeks has begun to warm up and I have felt myself coming alive after a chilly winter. I love sunshine and the plants surrounding my home couldn't agree more! I've been welcoming the colorful blooms that have sprouted after missing their presence for several months. it feels like seeing an old friend again after a prolonged absence, both of us having changed in the elapsed time and joining once more as familiar yet new versions of ou...

recently, a big-brained patron suggested I turn the monthly artwork into phone and desktop wallpapers and I thought that would be a great idea! just download the files attached to this post and you're good to go. :] enjoy! ☆

sketchdump 🎾🏋🏻‍♀️ getting gainz at the art gym

hello patrons! ☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ

it's been awhile since I practiced my fundamentals, so I took myself to the art gym and got to lifting. art, like any other skill, requires practice to learn, hone, and refine, repeat ad infinitum. I like to do focused (eg: value, composition, color, etc.) studies from reference to refresh and strengthen my building blocks. I say focused because it's easy to get lost in the sauce when studying from reference and having a north star to return to helps...

✨ April rewards have arrived! :D ✨

hello sweet angels! ♡

April's mail rewards arrived this week from the printers and they came out beautifully! I went with a holo finish on the sticker's border and details, like her star clutch and spiral pendant, and I loove how it turned out. I had the holo finish in mind from when I first started sketching the sticker and am so happy to see it actualized in physical form. I hope y'all like it, too!

I'll start prepping envelopes this week and aim to get all mail sent out by ne...

sketchdump 😈 drawing your suggestions! (⌒▽⌒)☆

hello!

I had a lot of fun this week drawing some of the suggestions y'all have left in the chat. :D it's always an interesting challenge to draw characters I'm unfamiliar with and figure out how to portray their personalities through different poses and facial expressions. it was really nice to switch things up since I've been drawing so much original art lately, so thanks for helping me out! ^_^ if you'd like to see me draw something, you can leave a suggestion in the chat's suggestio...

✷ May speedpaints + playlist 🎵🩶✷

hello!

thought I'd try something different with this month's speedpaint vid and include some music that I think pairs well with the artwork. I love listening to music while I draw and paint, it has a huge influence on what and how I feel while making art. I'll often take time to find the right track before I start drawing to properly set the mood. I, love, music!!! 🫶🫰👍🩷💕💞💓

watching the video back, it's interesting to see how much I changed the facial expressio...

🦪 May Postcard + Sticker / keepsake 🪽

hello! (o´▽`o)ﾉ彡☆

I've been very inspired by jewelry and trinkets lately and thought it'd be fun to draw pieces centered around those themes. I wanted to make art that felt moody and reflective since April was a particularly hectic month in my life. experiencing a great deal of rapid change during that period meant I spent a lot of time in bizarre, hazy headspaces that implored the upheaval of old, stagnant beliefs to make way for the new. change doesn't wait for a convenient t...

yoo march mail has arrived! ♪ヽ(^^ヽ)♪

hello! ✿

look at what showed up in the mail this week! :D I loved the sparkly material from february's sticker so much I decided to include it in march's design, too. I think it complements the artwork well and helps breathe life into the character. both the postcard and sticker turned out beautifully and are ready to be packed up in your envelopes! I'm excited to get that process into motion so that your mail is one step closer to you. thanks again for your patience and support, so w...

messy sketchbook drawings ♡

hello⭑.ᐟ

thanks to your well wishes, I've been gradually recovering after my trip and feeling a lot better! jetlag + illness is one of the nastier physical ailment combos I've experienced in this lifetime and I'm grateful to be on the other side of that chaos. (￣ω￣;)

I've been gravitating toward my sketchbook lately, because it's a place where I feel comfortable getting messy, scribbling with different tools, and experimenting with new ideas. I can tell when I'm feeling o...

when life gets crazy

aka when the going gets tough, when the universe throws one too many simultaneous curveballs...

...I try and simplify my priorities by getting back to basics. I think about the ways I need to take care of myself that are easy to overlook in the face of problems that loom larger and feel more demanding. while not always easy, simple tasks like eating, showering, going to the bathroom, and sleeping can help us feel more stable. trying to problem solve while forgoing these necessities tend...

i'm back

hello...

a day later than expected, after much extended trial and tribulation, I have made it back home from my trip abroad. I have 0 desire to reflect publicly on my time away, so instead my journal WILL be hearing about my litany of woes. once I get my glasses fixed that is. wouldn't you believe that right before I sat down to do this my glasses lens popped right out? oh sweet sight, where hath thou gone? huh, the horrors simply refuse to slow down it seems. such is life sometimes. su...

sketchdump ❤️‍🩹🥤🥝 calling all kpop enjoyers !!

hello! ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ

quite a few of you requested kpop-related drawings in the chat, and well, as a fellow kpop-enjoyer (k-popper?), I was very excited to pick out some of my favorite outfits and concepts to sketch. can you recognize any of them without looking at the captions? (¬‿¬ ) I've been a fan of kpop since 2007 and my interest has gone in and out of fervor over the years though in recent times, especially with the debut of NewJeans, I've been heavily inves...

march vlog ☁️💌📹 my first ever vlog! drawing april rewards, OOTDs, and thoughts on creativity~

hello!  ✿＼(≧▽≦)／ ✿

I've wanted to make an art vlog for the looongest time so I finally just went for it. xD I had a lot of fun putting this together the past month and I hope you enjoy the video! there's a good mix of stuff in here from live drawing, reflections on art, business-related tasks, and some classic ol' cloud-watching. so y'know, basically the 4 pillars of life lol.
