I'm making a sketches thread/hashtag since it's pretty rare that I have time for more polished pieces with my uni work and I really want to try to make room for sketching at least. Please feel free to add tips and requests here too ♡

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

Unexpectedly fell into art at the end of high school. Got some freelance jobs which led to me trying that route for years + combined with odd jobs and workshops. Got tired of constantly chasing work/ the uncertanty but liked doing workshops a lot = decided to apply to uni to get a teaching degree.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

I find it kind of funny that the "draw freiren from below" thing is now everywhere and I didnt know about it when i did this. 😅 Could have used some of the tips floating about! but I think I did a pretty good job on this angle honestly.
Had hoped to draw more this weekend but got busy with existential dread (and couldnt find my pen). But managed to do a mermaid sketch. 🧜🏼‍♀️

Been a really interesting day of 7 hours of looking at art in Stockholm today. We made it to 6 different exhibitions!
Going to reward myself with kimchi stew followed by a warm bath. Im so tired but wow art is amazing and so important.

Big presentation tomorrow and then FINALLY a weekend when I don't have to study. These last weeks have been tough, I can never get the hours in the week to last to do everything they need us to in some teacher's classes. I don't get how others manage?

Talked over an hour on Sweden's manga & anime fandom history at uni today. As well as talk about japanese comics in general. Im exhausted but it was sooo much fun to talk about something nerdy that I know a lot about but never get the opportunity to bting up.
