Continuing the tradition, the theme of my new Draw This In Your Style is Haruyo having fun with the season, and if there’s something that screams Spring to me it’s CHERRIES! 🍒 Rules of the challenge in thread! 👇

Golden summer ☀️💛 Sketch ych

Why don't we bring back the Ship Dynamics trend from 2020? 💖 What are your favorite dynamics/tropes? Are they as basic as mine? 🤣

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

It's Haru Dash! 🌈 I love dressing up Haruyo with the weirdest outfits I can find on the internet #doodle

What's the BEST bubble tea flavor? 🧋🫧 I vote for vanilla! 💛

Do you think she is… fruity? 👀🍎🤣

Does it still count as a "first date" if you've already 👉👌??? #OCart

Some art studies of my favorite animal 💖🐱 #cats

✨ What's your favorite pizza flavor? I'd say mine is carbonara #foodart

Erosion 💧 #originalart

Snowy afternoon and a playful doggo. Is there anything better? ❄️🐶

Oc lore train🌀 explain their lore in the worst way possible They 👉👌 They fell in love Both too chicken to confess He left the country None of them has gotten over the other Beautiful artwork by @inmapollito.bsky.social because I haven't drawn these 2 together in a looong time 🤣

Winter ain't just a freezing blue landscape 🩷

Trying a new rendering technique - Starting point! Following advice from a vid by @nekorina.bsky.social to render the sketch of pokemon trainer Gen 💜 #pokemon #pokemonoc #artbygemini

I ain’t missing a chance to draw my unapologetically horny bunny with this meme 🐇 Do you think I went a little too extra with those juicy thighs? 😂 Or are they just the right amount? 🍑 #stuckonheel

Panky can't fly anymore but she still likes to watch the skies from a high place ⛅ Quite a bittersweet memory 💔

Professionals say “to practice and practice and practice”. But we’re all different in the end; different lives, different situations. If you need to take a break from drawing for a week, a month, or a whole year, TAKE IT! 🖌️ You can come back anytime and pick up where you left

Super Star Rocking Jay has arrived, baby! ⚡⚡ #ninjago

✨ Today I want to introduce you to Panky’s brand new design! ✨ It expresses her distant and bitter personality much better in my opinion! (Second pic is the old design from 10 years ago for comparison)

Happiness looks like this 🧋🫧 It's my sister's birthday! 🎉✨

This artwork is from 2015, but recently it’s coming back to my mind more often. I wanna redraw it and see how much I’ve learned about light and colors after all these years. #originalart #OC

So... do YOU know her? 👀 #characterdesign #concept #sketch

“This is the last smile you’ll ever see…” ✨ Are you excited for Season 2 of Hazbin Hotel? Because I need to see Alastor kicking ass again! 💪

Haven’t done a Meet the Artist in ages, so I decided to do it “wrong” on purpose with this "Women on TW" meme. It’s more fun when you draw yourself like the chaos gremlin you truly are 💅

Maybe Haruyo isn’t just an angel 👀 I love her duality; soft and innocent one moment, bold and fiery the next. She’s all the sides of me I don’t always show 🤭 Be honest… does the demon outfit suit her better? 😈✨

He's NOT an "ugly motherf*cker”! He's handsome actually...🤭 #predator #killerofkillers #sketchart

“Procreate when?? 👀” ✨ The brush packs you loved in Clip Studio are now available for Procreate too! 🎨 https://nekorinaart.lemonsqueezy.com/ 💖 Past customers have a small gift waiting in their email btw!

I'm never wasting a chance to draw my OCs in embarrassing outfits 😂 Art doesn’t always have to be serious to matter. 👀 Do you think Haruyo fits better as an angel… or a demon? 😈

Secret time… I had a lil’ gothic phase as a teen 🖤 but zero money for the pretty clothes 🤣 If I could go back, this dark, classy, slightly suggestive outfit would’ve healed my soul. ✨ What fashion would heal your inner child?

@nekorina.bsky.social posted sketches of alternate fits for her sona and this one, I just HAD to draw, it was too cute.

Unforgettable moments aren’t always big. For me it’s bubbles 🫧 My mom would experiment with soaps and formulas so they’d last longer. They never did 😂 but her effort made my childhood magical. This piece is my little goodbye to summer ✨
