October wallpaper ✿ Cozy Autumn

Hiiii~! 💖
The wallpaper is ready! This time I actually managed to finish it on time :D The votes were really close between Halloween and Autumn, so I decided to make a mix of both.

It’s a little different from my usual wallpapers, so I hope you like it! I tried to recreate a kind of pumpkin pie recipe, with all the ingredients floating around. There’s also a second version with just the notebook page, in case the icons feel too crowded.

iPhones always make the colors...

Sketchbook ✿ September week 3

Hello!! Here’s this week’s sketch dump! 🍂✨

This week I had more time to draw, and as you can see, the theme is totally autumn...ish~ I think it might be my favorite season... actually, I’m pretty sure it is! Sadly, it always feels like the shortest one TT-TT

I started watching HP and drinking tea with milk as a seasonal... emmm ritual? hahaha sounds funny~ but that’s what inspired me to start drawing big-eared flying humans. I love drawing those ears! I think...

Podcast 04 ✿ It's finally autumn!

Hello hellooo! 🍂
I’m feeling super cozy this morning with the chilly weather, so I thought… why not just sit down and record the podcast? You never know when construction work might kick off again in this town. It’s been so noisy these past few days, so I’m taking advantage of this quiet moment while I have it *sips tea*

This episode is just a short little recap of how the month’s been going so far. Nothing too serious, just a cozy chat. So grab a hot tea, a coffee, or l...

Poll ✿ October Wallpaper

Hiii! Hope you’re doing well~! 🍄‍🟫🍂
This week, since the main tutorial is out (my biggest concern every month), I finally have time to just sit and sketch as much as I want~
I’ve also been playing Silksong a little too much, but I’ll talk more about that on the podcast!

Anyway, while I was sketching I started thinking about what wallpaper to make for October, and I’m torn between a few themes… so I’d love your help deciding! ✨

The story behind my little ghost illustrations~

Hello~! 💖💖

The other day, while looking through my old sketchbooks to show you some scans, I found my old ghost drawings, and then I remembered that I used to draw them a lot.

That made me think: where did I find the original idea that started it all? I think it’s kind of interesting to explain.

It all started with this book: The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night by Jen Campbell. I followed her on YT and really liked the premise of this short...

Full reel 07 ✿ Toast (voice over)

Hello! Hope you are doing well~💖

I didn’t forget about the voiced-over reels, I was just procrastinating~ heheh
This time I tried to fix the echo that I always get, since my studio is not suited for recording, so let me know if you think it sounds better! :)))

I’m trying to improve them little by little!

P.S. If the resolution on Patreon isn’t good, try opening it on YouTube! (It looked wonky for me)

Sketchbook ✿ September week 2

Helloooo~!! You know whaaat?!! I’ve been drawing all afternoon!! And it felt amazing! 🥹💖

I turned off my computer, put my phone away, and just drew for a good couple of hours. I started by redoing the drawings on the first page and improving the ones I copied from Silksong, and that eased me into keeping on drawing.

A couple of years ago, I made a first version of a b...

Sketchbook ✿ September week 1

Hello~!
As promised, here are some sketchbook scans, though I did a little cheating this time 😅

To be honest, I’m still not anywhere near where I used to be in terms of ideas and motivation to draw. So starting next week, I want to try a new approach: sitting down every day for a couple of hours, away from my computer, and seeing if I can turn that into a habit.

So this sketchbook is actually one of my old favorites. The dates go from 03.2021 to 11.2021, and it’s a Mido...

Mini tutorial ✿ Croissants

Hello~~!!

Today’s mini tutorial is all about practice! Croissants may seem a little tricky if you try to draw them realistically, but once you simplify their shape, they turn into one of the most fun foods to sketch!

They’re still one of my go-to doodles whenever I don’t know what else to draw. I hope this tutorial gives you some inspiration on how to simplify shapes to draw any kind of foods!

September Wallpaper ✿ Pokémon

Hellooo~!!

This September wallpaper is a little different. As I mentioned in my last post, after working on the new brushes (plus some life things that popped up in between), I really needed 2–3 days of rest to reset. So I can grab back my sketchbook and start working again.

But I didn’t want to delay the wallpaper, so I went through my whole Procreate archive and found this piece! It was originally part of a small sticker collection I made for my old store, but I never used i...

New Pixel Art Brushes!! Procreate & Photoshop

Feeeewww~! I can finally rest a little bit 💖 I thought I would never finish, there are so many things to prepare before releasing a brush pack… and yesterday I even decided to also include Photoshop on top of that!

But I’m sooo happy I put in the effort, because they turned out reaaally well!

Podcast 03 ✿ The Art of being bad at Recording✨

Hello!!

It’s almost the end of August, and you know what that means… Podcast timeeee! 🎙✨

I managed to squeeze in some time to record this one even though I’ve been super busy finishing the Pixel Art brushes for Procreate (but I’ll tell you all about that in the episode, no spoilers here 🙊)

This time I talk about how long it really takes me to put together a tutorial, plus a bunch of random thoughts, sprinkled, as alw...

Full reel 06 ✿ Totoros

Hello~!!! 💖

While I work on editing the tutorial (already recorded 🎉) I wanted to share a little video to keep you entertained in the meantime~

This one’s from a reel I posted a few months back, but I think it’s worth watching all the way through. It’s a pretty simple piece, but the palette turned out really cute and sometimes, simple drawings are the best ones 💖

Sketchbook & Pixel Brushes sneak peek!

Hellooo!! Hope you had a lovely weekend! It’s been awfully hot these last days~ (aaand I forgot to take my water bottle, so one sec…)

My work days have been pretty sluggish, I guess it’s the heat~ but I had so many things to do and got so little done.

Howeeeveeer~ I managed to solve one issue I had while creating patterns on Procreate. It was a bit buggy and didn’t respond as expected, making it impossible to do tiny seamless patterns, but finally after 2 days struggling I...

Marker Tutorial ✿ Fixing a Drawing with Better Shading

Hiii!! 🍡

I have an unexpected tutorial for all of you! 💖 You might have seen this week’s reel where I talk about my mistake while doing the shadows and how dark they looked. In this tutorial, while I draw a new Taiyaki, I explain how I should have done it and what my mistakes were.

I also explain a bit about gradients, coloring techniques, how to lighten a dark marker color, and more!

Sketchbook ✿ August week 01

Happy Sunday! This week’s drawings are here!! 💖

This week I wasn’t really inspired, so I looked through Pinterest for Japanese foods and random ideas. I don’t usually do it because somehow I feel that ideas should come from myself, although we all know that’s not sustainable if you want to make a living out of it. Otherwise I will always draw the same things that I find comfortable and never try different ones.

This week I will upload the full video of the たい焼き ...

About the next video tutorials~! :))

Hii!!

There's 2 tutorials that I want to tackle next, How I draw and color in Procreate and How to draw with markers. That's why this next two month won't be any poll. I think they are pretty basic and important tutorials that most of your would be interested in, and I want to make them right!

Have a lovely weekend~!! 💖

私の日本語の勉強 ✿ My Japanese studies 01 ✿ What I did this last year

こんにちは、みなさん
元気ですか?元気だよ!今日のテーマは、私の日本語の勉強についてだね!

After discussing for 10 minutes with ChatGPT… we agreed that my intro sentence was well written! Yay for me! 🤣 So today I want to start the first post about my Japanese studies. I really, really love talking about this. You have no idea 🙈✨

It has now been one year since I started studying seriously, which feels...

Full reel 05 ✿ Smoliv

Hello!

This week I’ve been quite busy and haven’t had time to sit down and record a proper voice-over, so instead of postponing it, this time it’s just music!

I tried to play with light and color for Smoliv, even though the palette is pretty similar, the shift between yellowish-green and bluish-green, plus the yellow accents, looks really nice and doesn’t feel repetitive at all.

Hope you like it!! <3

August Wallpaper ✿ DanDaDan

Turbo Grannnnyyyy wallpaper!!

I really wanted to draw her, she always makes me laugh so much! I think it might be my fave character~ And since she spends half her time eating, I thought, why not include a bunch of Japanese snacks too?

It took me a while to figure out the composition. I should’ve done a few quick sketches beforehand, but I never end up doing them and of course, I ended up regretting it :))))))


Have a lovely weekend! 🥰

Sketchbook ✿ July week 02

Hi!! Hope you had a nice week!

I’ve decided to make the photo dumps more frequent, instead of just once a month, I’ll be posting once a week (as long as it’s been a productive one!). That way I can show more details from each page, and it also keeps me motivated to draw more. Before starting this Patreon, I’d honestly been pretty lazy with it.

Most of the sketches aren’t colored, but honestly, 60–70% of my sketchbook usually looks like that. I might finish some of them...

Hii~!! Just a quick update,  I’m working on the How to draw a dog video tutorial! To make it easier to follow, I’m also creating a PDF guide so you can have a handy reference too.

A while ago I made a video about it, but it was in Spanish. And now I’d like to write a bit about my experience after some months. I feel it could be useful for some of you.

I got the iPad Pro M4 in January. My mom’s iPad broke, so I gave her mine. It still works well for watching YouTube, and I was already thinking about changing mine. I really wanted a smaller ...

New reel! 💖 This time I’ve added voice-over. Let me know if you like this idea better, or if you’d rather have just music!

I know the audio isn’t perfect, even with a good mic, there’s a lot of echo in the room. I’ll do my best to improve it in future videos if you enjoy this format. Audio is always the trickiest part of making videos! 🙈
