Try New Things!

Every now and then, I draw a bunch of portraits, fall in love with them, and then get tired of them. This is one of those moments. I wouldn’t call this art block per se, because I don’t necessarily dislike drawing and I can still draw more portraits. It just doesn’t feel as satisfying as it used to. So, stagnant-but-not-quite.

The Pureblood King (+A Small Announcement!)

Hello! I hope everyone’s been well 🙂

I will never not like the feeling blogging gives me, as seldom as it is for me to write these days.

Now onto the title of this post, I’d like to share this new portrait of Kaname. At first, it started off as a redraw, but later on I noticed I’d deviated too much from the original piece that it’d be best to call it an entirely new piece instead.

Face Your Art

Art challenges have always been something I’ve struggled to keep up with. I used to think that those trends come and go at too fast a rate that I “never got the chance to participate” in them.

Finals ended a few days ago and it has been great ride. It’s the first semester where I was able to maintain a cool head and not lose my sanity during finals week, haha! This year’s personal review and sketches inside 🙂

Change.

In order to curb the growing dissatisfaction with my own work mentioned in last month’s post, I’m currently developing a new style that puts a significant emphasis on soft, subtle strokes as well as anatomy. Facial lighting is starting to come along nicely, and my overall workflow when doing studies have improved!Read More »

Sketch: Aldric

I’m currently obsessing over Charlie Puth’s new track, “How Long”. It’s so catchy and beautiful! ❤ I can listen to it on repeat for weeks… Even the music video looks amazing! The aesthetic is to die for. Anyway, I sketched my OC Aldric while waiting for class a few weeks ago. I think I’ve improved a little 🙂
