Bangtan is back MY SHAYLAAA (Ｔ＿Ｔ)

throwback to my Life Goes On fanart
Digital illustration fanart of the band BTS. Photos spread across the table, highlighting warm and comforting moments where the members laugh and enjoy themselves. In the middle is all 7 of them in pajamas, giggling and piling on each other, written words "what a relief that we are seven".

Also look at this professional person doing professional things +
A professional photo of Buffie hunched over a music stand, drawing on her iPad, pursing her mouth in focus. Buffie is a Southeast Asian woman with black shoulder length hair, wearing a powder pink blouse and bright blue pants, sitting on an electric wheelchair.

I realized I have not posted the full image on here. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to do #graphicrecording for the Commitment panel at the #GlobalDisabilitySummit 2025! It was a great learning opportunity to stroll around and see all the work being done around the globe!

An information-packed, colorful digital illustration capturing the main ideas of the panel “Leading The Way: Featuring the Most Impactful Commitments for Disability Inclusion in Development Cooperation”. The title sits clearly in the middle, illustrated by three people with disabilities looking up and forward to the future. Fanning out from the title, a circle contains the commitments by the three co-hosts of the Global Disability Summit 2025: Germany, Jordan, and the International Disability Alliance. Surrounding the circle are 9 distinct sections featuring the commitments of 9 organizations, each illustrated with straightforward symbols and keywords. The sections are outlined with four alternating colors: yellow, green, orange, and blue. A light blue frame ties everything together as well as holds the event logos and the artist’s signature at the bottom. All the illustrations and texts are hand drawn and hand written, giving the artwork an organic look.

#gouache #painting #selfportrait #gouacheportrait #acrylicgouache #portraitpainting #dopamineart #tonyschocolonely
A sketchbook laid tilted, displaying a bright, colorful gouache portrait of a young Southeast Asian woman with shoulder length hair, cheekily glancing up. A brush and paint palette is included in the photo, as to suggest the process of how the portrait was painted. The vibrant red wrapping paper of Tony's chocolate is glued on the page to serve as the base for the portrait. A zoom in of the person's face and hair, showing obvious thick brush strokes, especially the highlights in her eyes and glasses. Decorative stars drawn with colored pencil litter across her hair and face.

belated but Happy Year of the Snake 🐍✨

it's my zodiac year, so i thought to combine the snake with the flower that i was named after, "Quỳnh" (Epiphyllum)

#art #ChineseNewYear #snake #procreate #YearoftheSnake
An inked digital drawing of a thin venomous snake winding around a flowering plant. The Epiphyllum flowers are in different stage of blooming, its flowers and leaves weave in front and behind the snake's body. The subject of the art is solid white against a rich red background.

some studies, i'm loving flat brushes recently

#gesturedrawing #artstudies #art #anatomy #tomhiddleston
a rough sketch of two figures kneeling, hands hovering around each other, almost kissing but hesitant. The man on the left has curly hair and glasses. The woman on the right has her hair tied up in a bun with a large evening gown scrunched up. A few gesture sketches of a woman in a bodysuit and corset. The poses are dynamic, strong, and sexy.

some of the graphics i made for my own website :D

www.buffienguyen.com/graphicrecor...
A screenshot of Buffie's website, specifically her Graphic Recording portfolio. The color scheme is ultramarine blue, bubblegum pink, and white. This graphic shows a person labeled "the audience" being hit with an energy wave with a label "the info". A small disclaimer text says "this is a metaphor only". One of the graphic used in Buffie's website, showing a bunch of documents bursting out of an email app on a laptop. One of the documents have big pink text saying "Cool Graphic". Another graphic showing a hand drawing on a digital tablet. A wave of information pours into the pen, which gets translated to an organized graphic recording.

commissioned some mask chains recently from Sotax Studio on instagram

these really help diverge the comments from "why are you wearing a mask" to "omg i love the chains!"
Buffie wearing a black half face mask with a silvery, gothic mask chain over it. Two silver sparkles hang on either ends of the chain. Buffie is wearing a white half face mask, showing off a golden, dainty mask chain over it. The two ends of the chain hang cute bow and pink bell charms.

Black and white digital drawing of a teenage girl with a pony tail being impaled through the chest by a sharp horn. Blood splatters from the wound. She looks surprised, disbelieving.

cafe doodling, last few days in Korea
A sketchbook lays open on a table at a sunny cafe. A red fountain pen rests between the pages. The black ink sketches are of the plants and decor in the cafe, as well as a fashionable man taking a sip of coffee on the right page. The icy drink and short lamp in the sketches can also be seen on the table.

A graphic recording (a.k.a. live visualization, sketch note) of a webinar on "utilizing acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to address staff trauma and burnout". A cozy, digital illustration of an opossum wearing a cute outfit based on the outfit of Wurt from the cartoon show Over The Garden Wall. An orange scallop frame surrounds the image and the opossum is surrounded by autumnal objects, like warm leaves, mushrooms, and stars. A digital illustration of an angler fish in a round frame. Both the fish and the frame has a Barbie like pink hue against a dark blue starry night background. The light from the antenna of the anglerfish, reflected in her eyes. A two-pages spread from a sketchbook with many doodles in green ink and soft layers of watercolor. Many experimentations were made, painting, flower arrangement in vases and starry motives. Colored pencil are strewn around the sketchbook.
