The holidays are kind of a rush right now so I'm having trouble getting in any art time but I hope you're all out there killing it and I'm looking forward to getting in a few posts before the end of the year!

Any tips to do things during these crazy days?

Oh wow! Thank you for the help hitting my first 100 follows! With joining the starter pack my following jumped overnight! I really wasn't expecting to make it!

I hope you enjoy the work and I look forward to seeing what you create as well! Now maybe 200 in 2026!

Thank you!!!

Haven't posted for a bit, but started practicing again today and drew a guy for once. Still working out exactly how I want things to look.

I did decide to tweak her a bit more. I felt like the face was a bit too skinny and the eyes too high. I also adjusted the shading on the arm.

I may go back and tweak her a bit more later, but I think I'm going to use the color halos for a bit as a series.

Thank you for hanging in there with me. ❤️

A stylized anime portrait of a girl with medium-length wavy black hair, warm brown eyes, and freckles. She's wearing a light blue T-shirt and smiling softly. Behind her is a large pink circle that frames her head and shoulders.

Kept messing with this for way longer than I should have and I'm still not sure why I don't love it, but I don't. 😪

Just gonna keep listening to that Ira Glass quote on repeat and try again later.

Doing more timelapses now. You can tell when they're AI, because there's no meaningful change from start to finish. Isn't progress the whole point?

I did! Once I dreamed I was Mitsumi, living in her world or an alternate version of my own life, but through her eyes (or the other way around, it’s complicated hahahh`)

My first oc dream was about Ryu! He came to pick me up and we climbed onto my roof to watch the moon together🌃🌕

I need to take a day and work on eyes. It's a weak point that a lot of my drawings have this 1000 yard stare going on.

If anyone has any tips/tutorials they've used, please let me know.

Spent the evening with noise canceling headphones on and working on my Clip Studio Paint workflow and it was some serious bliss.

Hope you like what's coming! Follow for more!

I've decided to apologize (once, here) for all the "bad" art I'm ever going to make and post, but I'm going to do it anyway.

After struggling with severe anxiety about showing my work to the void, I'm ready to just do it. I will make art I'm not ready to make.

Here goes. Sorry, not sorry.
