White tuxedo guppy WIP

The garden eel is actually a very peaceful and timid fish, but there is a reason I caught a impetuous character.

In Korea, we calculate age one year older.

R18 is under 19 years old.

So the numbers change from 10 to 19 at first.

I reduced the number to emphasize R18.

Pin VS washi tape VS acrylic

Winter is perfect time to drawing Arctic ocean life! 

Some of you have already noticed, but I also like the different side of cute things.

Personal story & Art summary 2018

As you know, I do not talk much about my personal stories. 

But 2018 is a year of big change to me and I want to share this story about it if you interested.

At this time last year, I had job interviews in major company.

There was many reason, but it's almost about money.

Standard illustration cost was failed in here.

Already more than half of my artist friend gave up their art. 

Maybe It’s a global phenomenon....
