Hello everyone! Just writing a quick update after a long absence.
I'm in the process of re-adjusting the balance between my life and hobbies. I've just gotten time to draw again and work on projects. I'm quite excited to be able to join RP groups again and such soon! Hopefully I can keep it up ^ 0 ^ .
I recently got a second monitor- I didn't know that it would make such a big difference!! I love it, so useful T 0 T
I like watching streams on Picarto on my second monitor while I draw, but I don't know many channels. If you have a Picarto channel you'd like to me to follow (be it your own or another's), I'd be happy to check it out! Please comment it down below ♪
I just recently have been able to draw on my tablet again for extended periods of time. I've been practicing traditionally and putting my hoard of supplies to use (finally). I find that it's helped me out a lot with my line placement, I'm so happy. I suggest practicing traditionally for anyone, especially digital artists ☆
Thank you for all the birthday wishes!!
I think that's all for now, gonna keep it short. Hope everyone is well ^ u ^

Hello [update]
2 min read
Hello everyone!!
Just an update since I've been pretty dead for a few months. I'm really bad at handling lots of things in my life (though I am slowly going to start having to get used to it) so when the fall semester at my college started I chose to focus on school and only school. I feel like I have a low pool of energy, it's hard to even get myself out of bed for school ;_; .. I feel like my body is telling me to hibernate when it gets colder LOL!
Anyway, I've neglected drawing in those months, but now I'm back since it's winter break!!
I always tell myself I want to be productive every break but I seldom accomplish what I want to accomplish. Even so, there's no harm in trying again every break right? I hope I can actually accomplish a lot of goals this break!
My first priorities are finishing up certain projects and my icon commissions! Afterwards I'll work on opening up commissions.
If I feel extra productive, I'm thinking of opening a storeenvy or etsy to sell prints and merchandise. I never end up producing stuff in time for conventions so I thought it would be a good in-between sort of thing?? Anyway I have some exciting ideas to try out in terms of merchandise! Stuff that deviates away from your average acrylic charm and stuff~ Looking forward to that if I ever get around (or collect enough courage) to go through with it!
Anyway, that's all! It's good to be back ♥

They aren't really official or anything2. Akihiko x Ran x Shigureyetbut they're pretty good friends! Not to say they don't have cute shoko moments here and there uhuhuhu~ Dan wears pretty stylish things /rubs chin and Maiko wears pastely, floraly things, so feel free to dress em up if you want.
other pics: soemei.deviantart.com/art/HH-D… naochiko.deviantart.com/art/HH… naochiko.deviantart.com/art/HH… soemei.deviantart.com/art/HH-T…
Trio of best friends! Went through hs together~3. Himeko x Yuichi
color pic lol: i48.tinypic.com/2r7u140.jpg (drawn by rhymebox)
I don't have exact references of them, but they're my own pet otp, who have their own shoujo story in my head///. Himeko (or "Himmu") has long red hair up to her hips-- She cuts it later, so it can be drawn shoulder-length as well. Her eyes are light brown/amberish. Yuichi's hair is black, eyes are dark blue. Himeko wears baggy, boyish clothes, Yuichi doesn't really have a style, but he dresses stylishly does that make sense even. I'm not picky about the clothes or exact colors really-- whatever is easier for you!4. Any one of these singles!
I hope the doodles on this doodle sheet are adequate ref for their general appearance;; : fav.me/d5mvxz2
