It’s that time of the year again #artvsartist
I feel like I’m saying the same thing over and over again every year, but I hope to put more energy into creating personal artwork/projects to make a brand new portfolio, which I haven’t done in a long time!

The first time in ages to use real pastels!
I was reached out by one of major Japanese newspaper companies to donate an original piece for an auction for a good cause , specifically to help children in need of support.

Painted in real pastels for the first time in forever for a good cause! But, I’m so not used to the habit of traditional drawing that I completely forgot to take a proper photo before shipping it out😅 #kidlit
