HELLO!!!!!!


I'M SO EXCITED AND SO PROUD AOIDSFJSODIGJDFIOGJ


I THINK ... I DID IT ...  


I THINK ... I MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ... mostly SATISFIED ... FOR ONCE ...  


So anyway, do y'all remember this handy dandy journal I keep mentioning everywhere?~ Style changes


But I'll just ... do a little repeat~


So basically ...

So, I was looking through my old art and noticed some things ... though I've obviously improved a good deal, especially, I think, in regards to colouring skill and anatomy, I feel like there was something rather "different" about my art back then. Something unrelated to the technicalities, but more along the lines of my art style itself.


Though my style has always looked relatively uniform (even up to about 7/8 years ago which by the way is a lot of my life), I've noticed a few things.

First of all, I think my lineart has gotten thicker in recent months. I've been having to use sharpies and black markers more to clean up muddiness, which leads me to my second observation: I was bad at colouring back then and so I didn't really press down hard or blend that many colours, and therefore my art was actually more "pastel" and less vibrant. Though I think I've improved at colouring and would never stop blending, I do hate the vibrancy of my art, being honest (I feel like people think this is one of the only good things about my style tbh, whereas it's really just a property of the tools I'm using). Because my art was less dark in colour, it didn't look so muddy or require thick lineart.


I also feel there was something different about the faces ... other than the facial anatomy mistakes XD And it seems more fluid to me. I think I had a wider variety of poses I liked to draw.


So in this drawing, I not only tried my best to revive those aspects of my older style, but other people were telling me I need to make my art more dynamic and that my usual art is ... a bit on the boring side (I don't mean to say they meant it offensively, it's just what it is. Don't take it the wrong way ), so I tried to spice it up a bit! (jeez ... that sentence was long XD) Anyway, I tried an art nouveau inspired background here (if you didn't know, my style is intended to be art nouveau + anime, and if you google this combination you'll see art that basically looks like I could have drawn it ) and I also DID A POSE FROM THE BACK. I'm ... embarrassingly bad ... like so bad you wouldn't want to see it ... at different angles and perspective in general so I'M PROUD, BITCHES, FOR ONCE I'M PROUD!!! I used a mild reference , but not too heavily.  


On to the actual art. This piece was a real challenge to do, and I think it paid off but I will be only sparingly doing full art like this. For one thing, I'll be soon getting bigger paper, so I might have to take photos ahg teach me how to do this instagram senpais ;v;, and it will be too huge to fill up. January is also busy for me so I won't have time to take on experiments (I have y'all's contest prizes to do nwn and by the way, I'll be having another contest on the 21st so be ready!!). This was a pretty time consuming piece. IT WAS HARD NOT TO SPAM THE SHARPIE SO I HAD TO BE CAREFUL WITH LINES QAQ


I PRAY IT DOESN'T LOOK BUSY OR VIBRANT!!! PLEASE DON'T BE LIKE "OH VIBRANCY SENPAI, IT'S SO COLOURFUL!!!" X'D lmao it's supposed to be pastel and colourful, but not """vibrant""" ... I hope I accomplished this 


Anywaaaaaaaaaaay, this character belongs to the AMAZING, GORGEOUS, TALENTED AND ULTRA NICE SIF-Y !!!! I'M SO HONOURED TO HAVE MET YOU AND TRADED WITH YOU!!! Nana's such a cute li;l boy oh goodness ;; v ;; I had fun here! Please note me your address so I can mail it to you, if you're still interested in receiving it nvn <3


Thank you all for viewing! ♥♥♥ IT MEANS A LOT ~

Yus, I know I've featured her before, but my bestie has been going through some serious problems lately and I want to help any way I can :') Besides this, dear Julia's art is just lovely, she's such a sweet person and very underrated, so I highly recommend checking out her beauteous, elegant gallery and showering her in love~  




I'm going to open commissions later this month or in early February. It's ... kind of embarrassing to explain but I'm trying to get 65$, or 55€ as fast as I can O///O I don't know, my coms would have to be pretty pricey but they're still pwyw, so PLEASE NOTE ME IF YOU'RE INTERESTED AND WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DRAW AND I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IT PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Aah this looks so gorgeous dear! It definitely feels more pastel and look more art nouveau as well with the beautifully detailed framing~  

I really like his profile as well! It looks very nice, and the hair is beautifully shaded like usual~
