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 (*ยดโฝ`*)

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

Playing with acrylic gouache in my sketchbook with some Pinterest redraws. I prefer it to traditional acrylics because of the opacity and the matte finish is so nice but my painting style is more suited to designer gouache, I think.

My mom and her coolest kid (hehe) Experimented with watercolor ground on a primed wood panel and I really love the look of it! Similar look to oils with less hassle so I will play around with it more

I bit the bullet and ordered genuine ink for my printer. I previously bought aftermarket ink and it was incredibly fugitive. I was going to wait, especially with this month having some high spending events but I couldn't stop thinking about it. We'll make it work!

Some rainbow sunbeams this morning. I've been very sick all weekend. I haven't had the energy to do much and just been in bed. I think I'm finally on the mend now (โขโกโข)g

Yesterday, I was working on my computer when Marcel went "I'm just going to scooch in here real quick" and laid across my arms (he's not an affectionate cat) I was able to work for a bit longer until he rolled over onto my keyboard...

Had a wonderful time at the con this weekend! So much fun and saw a lot of amazing cosplays and art! โธ(*หแห*)โธ I didn't get into the photo card workshop but that's ok. I only saw one Jayce cosplayer but it was in the canteen so I didn't want to bother him โ(โ๏ฝ` )โ

A customer came in with a bunch of oil paints his late mother left behind. They were old but some were salvageable! Now, they are mostly oranges and greens which I don't actually use often but I guess now I will lol (๏ฟฃโฝ๏ฟฃ*)ใ

My cat never sits on the couch proper, he only sits along the top or on the armrests. I was so surprised to find him bundled up in the blankets just now (oยดโ`o) (He looks grumpy cause I woke him up mb)
