Ahhhh I found the perfect little charm to go with my weeks planner
Decorated my new sketch book with green yuri stickers. I can’t believe I found green yuri stickers—yuri is reaching mainstream popularity 😭🤍
yay redesigned her and gave her a name—Nona! Her companion is Bit.
I'm really excited for my new lil cutie. She'll have a new outfit every chapter 💅
Dev Log 29: Look how cute that lil' cursor hand is!! Lil paw! 😄
Doodling in pen has helped me feel more comfortable with making mistakes while drawing. I see small mistakes but I like this layout!
I quite like my latest drawing setup. The textured screen cover makes a huge difference. Also recently learned about the QuickShape feature in Procreate. Converted me back to Procreate from CSP.
