pastel daydreams

Hello~ my name's Annalie~🌸✨

I'm a watercolour and mixed media artist, forever doodling fanart of whatever my current obsession is and occasionally some original art of some recurring OC's!

This film really came out of nowhere, and I have to admit, I was a bit put off by the title when it first started to gain popularity 🙈😅 It sounded like something made for small children, and while I absolutely love animation (and would often choose it over live action) this one sounded like it had a very young audience in mind 🫠 But I was definitely proven wrong, it's so well written and incredibly endearing and relatable 🥺 I would protect these girlies with my life (not that they need it, ofc, but the sentiment still stands haha)🥺 love them sooo so much💕✨

Zuzu is one of my favourite fictional characters in anything ever 💕 He's so sweet and gentle but fierce and protective when necessary! 🌸

I'm hoping to make fanart for all the anemo boys in this style (Xiao, Heizou, Wanderer/Hat Guy (😅), Venti and Anemo Traveller/Aether... I believe the six of them together are unofficially called 6REEZE, like an idol group 🙈)!

This painting actually took me an unusually long time, I think because I loved the sketch so much I was worried I would ruin it when I added colour (happens more often than not, unfortunately) so I put it away for over half a year before picking it back up again to actually paint, and I'm so glad I did, It came out just as I imagined it would (happens... almost never!) :)

One of my few completed digital pieces, as I'm not a digital artist by any means, I find it's much harder to call a piece finished when it feels like you could go on making adjustments forever 😅 Glad I managed to finish this one, at least 💕✨️

I also posted the speedpaint for this on YouTube (hoping to actually make use of this channel soon!) 💕✨️

Between watching the first two seasons of the donghua and countless rewatches of The Untamed/Chen Qing Ling, and reading hundreds od thousands of words worth of incredible fanfics... I landed on this wavy-haired WWX 🥰 He's quite small only about 5.5 inches or 12 cm in height! And between the texture of the cold-pressed watercolour paper and the small size of the portrait I had to keep my pencils really sharp so the details stayed as clear as possible 😅 I really should make my paintings bigger, I'm sure it'd, make every part of the process a lot easier 🫠

I absolutely loved this game when I played it in 2018! So whimsical and lovely but still exciting and engaging 🥰 Evan is such a cute character so I wanted to do a little portrait of him so I could vicariously pet his little ears through my paintbrush 🥺 He's such a cutie pie🤭
