I watched Ballerina a few months back and HOLY HECKKK, it’s so good??! It truly came to me at the perfect time too — it felt like a silent (or, haha, not always so silent) rage was building up in me and I hated it but after watching Ballerina, I felt… so light? And free? I can’t explain it but seeing Eve taking out her anger and chasing her revenge felt like such an outlet for me. And for that, I will forever be grateful to Ballerina. It’s not only a freaking gorgeous movie but it was like a free therapy session when I needed it, lol. 🫶

ANYWAYS, I love Eve, I love her so much. I was a bit worried walking into Ballerina because women in action movies are typically trope-y and annoyingly badass, y’know? Like oh my goshhh, stop making women climb onto men’s shoulders and snap the dude’s necks with their thighs. I’m so sick of that move. But from my recollection (it’s been a few months, bear with me), Eve never snapped a dude’s neck that way and I LOVE her for that. Nah bro, she used ice skates, she used knives, she was freaking cool. (It sounds so weird but I love how after battles she would make frustrated/tired noises, almost growls of anger, instead of the typical action girlie noises. Like no man, she’s tired of fighting, she’s so done with getting beat up, let her be angry!!!!! They were such relatable reactions, to be honest.)

This poor guy. 😭 He was going through it. But man, I love the aesthetically pleasing blood splatter and how dark Alex’s expression is here. I love the trope of young characters that have a dark layer underneath that doesn’t show up very often but when it does, when that layer gets peeled back for just a moment, other characters are taken aback and are like “um, so, that kid is incredible and a little terrifying and maybe a bit crazy.” Idk, I love seeing interesting and complex characters like Alex. We need more complex characters!

This was a very fun face study, despite the fact that I had to keep tweaking his facial features and I redid the shading thrice. I love Freddy’s face so muchhhh. 😭💜

Mannnn, S5 was such a mess but it made me a mess for Finn Wolfhard. 🙈💕 I know a lot of people say that Mike was one of the worst parts of S5 but I don’t get that? To me, he was one of the saving graces of it. I know he got a lil vanilla coded at times (everyone was acting weird in this season, y’all) but his scenes were some of the best in this season. (Especially in the last episode.) This boy needs a year-long hug, honestly. 💔

I don’t know what it was about Mike in this season but something shifted in me and HOW DID I NOT APPRECIATE MY BOY UNTIL NOW. 😭 He’s grown to be one of my top fave Stranger Things characters and he was definitely my top fave in S5. (Steve, I’m sorry, you failed me this season. 😔) I hate all the Mike Wheeler hate, I wanna throw hands at anyone who dare hates on my boy.

Anyways, I was in a sort of an art slump for so many months but now I’m so inspired to draw Mike Wheeler. 👀 (I’ve already drawn him so much, aaaaa. 🤫🫣 I’ve made it my mission to learn how to draw him!!!!!!!!!)

Oh, and here’s my ref photo, plz appreciate it like I did. 🥹

I’m in the middle of watching season 5 and while it has been so disappointing, at least Jamie has been serving. 🤷‍♀️🤭

I started watching the Alex Rider show last year and oh my GOSH, I am OBSESSED. I still need to watch S3 but man, the first two seasons are SO GOOD. 😭 I was already obsessed after seeing S1 but man, the hyperfixation hit me when I started S2. I kept begging my sibs to keep watching with me, lol. 🙈 I really need to read the books as soon as I’m done the show too. 📚👀

I’ve been struggling with drawing for the last couple of months. It got to the point where I practically rage quit it and didn’t touch my tablet for weeks. I told myself the break was good, it was necessary, I was doing a smart thing. In all honesty, I’m not sure if that’s true or if I was just scared. Scared to try again and have it not work out again.

I was feeling antsy recently, which relieved me cuz I felt like I was soon ready to try again, even if it kinda terrified me. But holy heck Batman, never doubt the power of a new hyperfixation to give you the push you need!! I randomly tumbled into the Percival Graves / Colin Farrell fandom and um, hi, I love it here, I think I’ll stick around. 🙈 I don’t even love the Fantastic Beast books too much and I haven’t watched the movies yet but I don’t care, lol!

I literally finished this minutes ago and I just wanted to throw it out into the void cuz!!!!! Idk man, I want to share my love for this wizard!! 🥹🖤 (Man, I haven’t drawn HP fanart in YEARS.)

Last week, I was on vacation and I didn’t take my laptop and tablet with me so I actually pulled out a sketchbook and drew traditionally! (Which is something that only happens once in a blue moon. I lowkey forget to do it. 😭) LOL, I’m so embarrassed to say this but I literally only drew Kovy Cat the whole entire vacation. 🙈🙈🙈 It was fantastic practice, I loved it! I used his character sheet for reference to help with expressions and stuff. But then I started doing different expressions and drawing him from memory. 🩵💜

His design is so good!!! I’m obsessed with drawing Kovy Cat now, oops. 🙈

The colored one is a bit off cuz I’m such a newb with markers, I really need to practice more. 🙈 But despite the messiness, I still love seeing Kovy Cat in color! 🥰

I’m only on my second summer but I’ve been putting in so many hours lately that I’ll probably be in my second fall in no time. Whoops. 🙈 There’s just so much to do in the summer that it’s honestly so addicting to play. Like, what do you mean I should quit after a day of taking care of my farm and a day of foraging? What about a day of mining? Or doing odds and ends?

Hehehe anyways, here’s a closeup! 💕

EDIT: OH MY GOSH I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE FULL PIECE. WHOOPS, HERE IT IS.

Also be warned, I’m very obsessed with drawing Jax right now. 👀💜 He’s so !!!! *fangirl noises* I love him, I love him so much, your honor. I had to draw him in the Spudsy’s uniform. 🍔
