last drawing:

Mikazuki Munechika from Touken Ranbu because I love this sword franchise and I can’t get over how cool his design is ⚔️ 🌙 

Another random sketch I did the other day. I'm just having fun trying to fill up my sketchbook again ☺️🖍️

Sketched this a few weeks ago in January when I was obsessed with Last Samurai Standing - has anyone else watched it? I loved all the combat scenes and characters, especially this one- Sakura! I’m also really enjoying good old pencil and paper sketching again. Trying not to worry too much about the result and just enjoy the process 😌🖍️

Anyway thanks for reading my ramble. I hope this year will bring you all much better and kinder days than 2025 !

Watched Kpop Demon Hunters the other day and had to sketch this derpy-eyed demon tiger and its magpie buddy ~ This tiger has only one braincell and I love that for him 😂

So I'm back in my greek mythology phase haha. All the characters and their little dialogues in Hades are so good! Cleared the game more than 15 times now and I'm still having fun ~

Another little ink sketch- I’m enjoying these way too much! Really brings back memories of my inktober days years ago 😅 This one is very loosely inspired by The Tea Dragon Society~

Some more doodling with ink! I wanted to practise drawing a building and added a dragon last minute for fun 😂 Really should have planned the dragon out more though, it's a little wonky 😅

Here are the two drawings side by side ^^ My 2025 lunar new year drawing vs my 2013 lunar new year drawing, both the year of the snake!

Happy (late) lunar new year! 🧧 🐍 I remember drawing something for the year of the snake exactly 12 years ago (time really flies!) so I kind of wanted to try doing a redraw to see how my art has changed over the years. I'll post a side-by-side comparison in another post ^^;

Felt like sketching something peaceful 😌 As much as I like painting in colour, there’s something really calming about drawing in pen/black and white. There’s no undo button and you can’t be as perfectionist as usual- once you make a stroke, you can’t erase it, you just have to figure out how to incorporate that stroke into the rest of the drawing 😅

I finally got around to watching season 2 of Arcane! I love the art style so much and wanted to do a little study of it to figure out how it worked - so here’s a Caitlyn! 🎨

(also the scene is the Okino Residence from Kiki’s Delivery Service!)

it took me a while to get used to traditional painting (I’m so used to being able to choose the exact colour I want in my head with digital art). also van gogh is just hard, I have no idea how to replicate his strokes ahh

anyway as you can see, I ended up colouring that sketch I did about a week ago!  It feels so nice to be drawing/painting again, I really miss it

just scribbling away 🖊️I remember doing inktober drawings like this years ago and since it's october now, I wanted to try something like that again!
