Hello my sweets!!!! Happy sketchbook tour :D I'm so happy with this spread -- I've been drawing frantically the past few days as I'm so close to finishing my sketchbook (and my apple pencil stopped working on my ipad, so i'm waiting on a replacement lol)
I forget how freeing and different it is to sketch traditionally -- working digitally is so comforting cause you can always undo, but scribbling in my sketchbook helps me live with my mistakes while also learning confidence in my work. ...

hello my dears!!! here is that june bluebell video i mentioned last week - it's an hour long real time draw with me :D it was really fun getting to sit down and just scribble so i hope it can keep you company during your own drawing sessions.
i was listening to music in my headphones, so it's a little ASMR-y, with just the sounds of my pen scratching on the page. I hope you like it !!! happy tuesday~

Hello my dears~I'm going to be transparent with yáll: I have been going through quite the emotional gauntlet this month, and I don't really have the bandwidth to record a podcast rn. I think I'll be able to record our second June podcast, but!! I was thinking, we could do something a little different in place of the first one~
I was toying with either an hour long, real-time draw with me video, where we can work in our sketchbooks together, or a granny square crochet tutorial! If you g...

Hello my loves! Here is our second May podcast!
In this episode, I talk at length about possible crochet projects I wanna start, ideas for my crochet pouch tutorial video, and also kinda have a huge revelation re: my own happiness in real time lol. Wild how you can intellectually know something for ages, but the moment when it actually sinks in is..so out of the blue! And what a big incredible feeling it is!

Hello!!! So I know this is a little different from the icon pack that I mentioned earlier in the month, but that's taking a little longer than I would like so the June freebie will be a cute icon pack. ;o)
For this month it's a darling little printable weekly planner! It measures 5.5" x 8" (so half a standard page of letter paper) -- there's a PDF with a cutline guide to help you cut it out with scissors if you don't have a paper cutter to hand...

hello my friends!! I decided I wanna make another icon pack for this month's freebie - I can't decide if I want to do one cohesive theme, or just draw a bunch of fun mini illos. What do y'all prefer in your icon packs? Do you enjoy the randomness or do enjoy a cohesive theme??
ALSO can icons you use on your desktop also be used for phone icons? I know lots of folks have asked me about making widget icons and stuff but I'm not quite sure about the logistics of that just yet. Give me all ...

Hi friends!! Here is our second April podcast episode! I talk a bit how Soph and Pepper are doing, what I've been up to, and subsequently, why I'm so stressed!! It's moments like these where all my time really seems to compress and I feel very defeated by my own brain, lmao. But! I'm also trying to remember that the couple days before my period, I always feel like the absolute pits lol
I hope y'all are well!!! soon *justin timberlake voice* IT'S GONNA BE MAY

Here is our April sketchbook tour!! I feel like I drew so much this month, but I think it was that one day when I filled three sketchbook pages hahah, it sort of colored my art memory from the rest of the month. There's also some good digital sketches, some Twitch things, and a cute little sprout kid who is the new illo for the tangerine mail labels. :3
Happy Thursday!! <3
