I want to do some AAPI inspired work for this month but I'm actually quite busy (why does this always happen to me) it might just be exploration and not any final work and I gotta remind myself that's ok

I may have accidentally put too much salt in my tone when someone *told* me we used to have them and I replied "no, we didn't." We haven't since I've worked there and I should have redirected them to making their own. It can be hard to manage the snark in retail (¬_¬;)

Swallowtail caterpillar sketch I must admit, I was not expecting this shift in colour palette to be quite as revolutionary as it turned out to be. I immediately feel more connected to my work. It just feels like me (´• ω •`)

My niece was getting bored at an event so I loaned her my sketchbook and watercolor. She did an amazing job! I definitely want to get her a small sketchbook she can carry with her but do I spoil a 7 year old with artist grade watercolor? ( ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ

Practicing painting flowers for another illustration I'm working on. See timelapse below 🌹 Whenever I paint flowers I get so overwhelmed and it seems I paint them often enough that I should finally do some proper studies. Reference from Pexels

A piece I made for a colourful prompt which made me think of clowns and excitement but also overstimulation and uncertainty. I aimed to capture dual emotions in her face, meant to be a bit unsettling. I'm really pleased with the painted edges, bringing the theme together.

I did a knitting challenge to raise funds for cancer research in Feb (raised $300!). I ended up making a floor turtle to mop up spills in the kitchen, a holder for my hand sanitizer and socks for my partner (*´▽`*)

I had started a Valentine's inspired illustration but I had to study this week and didn't have time to finish. It's not explicitly valentines so I will still finish it for sometime soon :D

From sketch to a finished watercolour painting. I tend to sketch from faces, so when I get to the body, it leaves a lot to be desired :P I took the sketch onto my iPad make the drawing more interesting after learning some things from my fanart era last year.

Experimenting more with an abstract workflow for portraits plus a limited palette. I'll first lay down a wet in wet layer and then define the portrait after that layer has dried, leaving parts of the underpainting visible.

I have a commission I've been sitting on for a little while and I realize I just don't like how I did it. The figure is fine but I hate the background. I will try to rework the background but I may just have to redo the whole thing

I get a bulk order for my new years cards every year and this year I decided to get them printed by a 3rd party. I did not foresee it being so difficult to paint the gold details on this paper >.< I have a few more days to get it figured out

Made myself a DIY "in the round" row counter using shrink plastic. The proportions are a little funny tbh but the beads are so cute! I need to make more with shrink plastic. It's so satisfying when they are shrunk down
