An ink drawing of a girl with long, dark wavy hair tied with a bow. She is wearing a simple sleeveless and Mary Jane shoes. She stands looking down affectionately at a small white cat she is cradling in her arms; the cat also wears a small ribbon around her neck.

Another ink sketch! ✒️💕

When I started making these daily sketches, I tried to use a more simplified art style to gain confidence with the medium, but I’m slowly getting comfortable adding details 🥰

Made a closer up photo of yesterday’s ink sketch! What did I change? I tried to make the neck thicker.

Ink sketch ✒️

A black and white ink drawing in a sketchbook of a girl with a 1960s-inspired aesthetic. She is sitting with her legs extended to the left, wearing a sleeveless, checkered mini-dress and Mary-Janes. Her long, flowing hair is windswept to one side, and she has a calm expression with dark eyes and lips.

Ink sketch ✒️

I've been quiet for a while, well, I was finishing my degree. I graduated! 🎓♥️

I’m photographed from behind, standing on a stone-paved path on my university campus. I’m wearing a black suit and a laurel crown with red ribbons. I’m holding up my burgundy thesis as if presenting it to the camera. My long dark hair falls down my back.

I'm sorry for answering so late, I've been keeping up with my thesis and last things before my graduation! I hope for the best

A little oil pastels study, I’m having so much fun with them!

An oil pastel drawing of an orange cat with green eyes on textured white paper. Two orange and yellow pastel sticks are placed on the right side of the paper.

Gouache study

The struggle of a digital artist switching to traditional and trying to take good photos of their art is so real...

Illustration of a girl lying on her back at night under a deep blue sky with a glowing moon. She rests on a rooftop, wearing a white shirt, blue skirt, and headphones, with her arms behind her head and legs outstretched, eyes closed.

I just got the opportunity to be part of an art show next year! This means it’s time for me to commit and start creating something worth sharing. It's motivating to have something to look forward to!

Trying oil pastels for the first time and I already love them!

A sketchbook page with oil pastel sketches: on the left, two small blue-toned rectangles, one of a lit-up bridge at night, specifically the Tower Bridge, the other pink waterlilies on water. On the right, a ballerina in a pink dress ties her ballet shoes. Three oil pastels (blue, pink, and violet) lay on the page.

I've been to a few museums this month, and seeing so much art has sparked my inspiration back!

Nothing kills my confidence in my art faster than looking at my Instagram grid 😭

Gouache experiment! So much fun playing with this medium.
