Progress of my last drawing. 2 hours elapsed.

Here’s a nifty progress gif of my last piece, Pixelbeat!

Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Yaaay that’s me, you guysss. I was looking through Tumblr for Mulan refs and found this, to my great surprise!

Thanks for keeping the click-through link!!

Moving onward. I like the way my sketches look—now that I’ve figured out that pen pressure works in Photoshop CS2

WIP of my next tea, finally! I’ve been so ridiculously lazy with my tea illustrations when I originally had plans to do like 8 of them this month. Pfft.

But ever since I got back from the cruise I’ve been really lazy with a lot of things—like my room, which is a den of horrible clutter. And my reading. And writing.

Oh, man, there’s only about a week of break left! Where’s all the gusto I had around the holiday season, when I pumped out all those drawings? I NEED TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING AAHH

Here are the next two linearts! UGH EARL GREY WHY YOU SO DIFFICULT! I spent such a long time on her stupid pose and I still think she looks stupid but…whatever, they can’t all be winners, right? But I think Cinnamon made up for it. Neither of them are as interesting-looking as Echinacea or Darjeeling, but it might have to do with both of them lacking big old animals and non-Western dress.

Now for the coloring, my least favorite part. I feel like when I sketch something, it’s easy for me to say, “This is going to turn out awesome!” But then I add colors and it just looks flat and cheap and just plain ugly. Fingers crossed…

After a long hiatus, my next teas are on the way!! (This is how I celebrated the last day of the semester’s classes lol) I’m hoping to finish four before Christmas (Echinacea, Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Cinnamon), so here’s to keeping up my current pace…despite a portfolio and two exams before the REAL end of my semester. 

I was supposed to finish Echinacea by T-day. That didn’t work out but I learned that the Plains Indians are known for using Echinacea, not the Native Americans on the east coast—so thankfully the whole Thanksgiving tie-in thing goes out the window, and my lateness is excusable.

Oh wow, drawing animals. Daunting, initially frustrating, then satisfying. Not sure if I’m learning anything though.
