My INPRNT shop is 35% off, for high-quality prints of my illustrations and comics!Continue reading “November 2025 Recap”

October/Inktober 2025 Recap
Hello November! But first, a look back at October… And the main focus of the month was Inktober! I had so much fun with the daily drawing challenge! I had originally decided to focus on just character drawings for each prompt. But I quickly added a fantasy theme for those characters as well (though theContinue reading “October/Inktober 2025 Recap”
September 2025 Recap
Hello October! October is the month of INKTOBER! I’m very excited to participate (on-time!) this year! (Last year couldn’t do the drawing challenge until November!) I kind of spent September getting ready! I didn’t prepare anything for the prompts, but instead built a consistent drawing habit again! In August I had created for myself aContinue reading “September 2025 Recap”
August 2025 Recap
Hello September! But first, a recap of August… I did lots of sketching FOR FUN! It was awesome! I have a small curated stack of books I’m using as reference. Not following their how-to’s but using it for prompts/ideas and tips on how to keep my drawings cute and cartoony! (I have years and yearsContinue reading “August 2025 Recap”

Hello August! But first, a recap of July! First, I worked on my graphic novel’s character designs. I have rough sketches of all the main characters now! Very very rough drafts… but still!

Hello June! …but first, a recap of May! I finally FINISHED the script for my graphic novel! And all the thumbnails for each page’s layout. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE pages!?!?! At least!!

May 2025 Newsletter
I actually kept pretty busy last month! I started out drawing some cartoons. Mostly practicing drawing Sailor Moon characters, because I have been watching a lot of Sailor Moon lately. Simple enough. Then I just kept drawing fan art. It’s such a chill way to practice and it was a lot of fun to workContinue reading “May 2025 Newsletter”
April 2025 Newsletter
So I kinda sorta accidentally didn’t really make any art in March. It turns out, I was sooo focused on getting better at my art that I eventually stopped making any. I mean, I’d spent a lot of time this first part of the year working on “getting better” at my art. I figured IContinue reading “April 2025 Newsletter”
March 2025 Newsletter
Goodbye February! I finished an illustration! FINALLY! It took forever… But it was fun to work on during little breaks from other projects. Plus, I had to practice drawing simple cartoons (carousels are super intricate!), and draw lots of four-legged horse-ish animals, which can be kinda difficult?!? Also, I had kept trying over and overContinue reading “March 2025 Newsletter”
