#kamvas 12

I got into digital art through an app called DrawShow. I’d seen so many cool artworks on there, and I found out that most of them had been done with a stylus and I wanted one. I was convinced the only good art done digitally had to have been done with a stylus. But  I was stuck drawing with my finger for about a year. 

At some point my older brother gave me an old stylus of his to try drawing with. I was in the middle of something and my younger brother asked if he could use it to play DS games on his tab, I agreed. Bad choice. I never got to use that stylus and we had to throw it away :(

The first time I really got to use a stylus was the February of 2019. I had just been let out of the ICU after recovering from dengue and my older brother gave me another old stylus. It didn’t work very well but I’d already planned out exactly what to do when I got one and I drew this:

I know, old art. Unfortunately, the universe decided I wasn’t supposed to have a stylus just then because it fell off the bed while I was resting. It’s unusable now, but I’m pretty sure it’s in my drawer somewhere still. 

I still wanted a stylus, but somewhere along the way I discovered drawing tablets and then had a new fixation 😅. I didn’t do anything about it until... I think it was around May (?) 2020, I asked my parents if we could order a Kamvas 13. They agreed. I planned to draw this to celebrate once I got it:

The Kamvas 12 was having free shipping though, so we got that instead. It took a week or two to get here, but I wasn’t even allowed to see the box before it was taken away. My mom told me I’d get it back after I finished my exams. Only, with the pandemic and everything exams went on for a lot longer than they should have. 

After exams, still no Kamvas 12. I’d practically given up on getting it. Then on my birthday I was given a suspiciously large box that everyone was weirdly excited for me to open. I actually said: “ This better not be my Kamvas 12. That’d be a sh*tty gift since I technically already own it”.
