  • Dress Rough Sketch

    April 11, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! While looking through the same sketch book I found my 2023 self portrait sketches in, (You can read that post here) I also found another sketch. This sketch is a rough sketch of a dress. Here is what the sketch looks like… I honestly don’t remember much about this sketch or the dress that inspired it. I remember I saw a dress (Probably a collectable Disney Princess doll) and felt inspired to sketch it. I don’t remember much else about it. I do know it was done within the past two or three years. Since it is a rough sketch, I never talked about it online. When I…

    Hi everyone! Last year, I decided I would like to update my profile picture. For many years, my profile picture is a self portrait of myself. I wanted to continue the tradition by drawing a new one. My plan was to draw myself with the same style hair and clothes I always draw myself wearing.

    Hi everyone! October is a week away and that means it’s almost time for Inktober! (Or, in my case, Sketchtober) If you never heard of Inktober (Or Sketchtober) it’s when artists draw a new piece of art every day though out the month of October. For artists participating in Inktober, each new piece must be drawn by pen or ink based drawing supplies. For Sketchtober, it must be a sketch only. Many artists, like myself, like to create a list of ideas to draw and share them in order to help anyone who feels uninspired drawing inspiration. This year, I decided to do something different: I wanted all the drawing…

  • Winter Lady Watercolor and Pencil Art

    November 30, 2017 /

    Last year, after months of not drawing original art (Sans clothing and costume ideas) I sat down and drew a new picture! And, because I’m ridiculously slow about talking about anything but fabric designs on this blog, I’m going to talk about it now. *sigh* This drawing, called Winter Lady, was drawn on watercolor paper with a pencil and then colored with watercolors and pencil. Overall, I’m very happy with the way it turned out. I wish I talked about this picture sooner, but eh. Better late than never. Especially since it’s December and the weather is cooling off. Sort of. Prints are available of this picture on Society6 here.…

  • 2017 Chinese New Year Rooster Sketch

    February 13, 2017 /

    I wanted to draw a sketch to celebrate Chinese New Year for a while now, but I never had the opportunity until this year. I drew the sketch late for Chinese New Year, but I’m very pleased with the way it turned out so I decided to write a post about it! 2017 is the year of the rooster, so I naturally had to draw a rooster. I never drew a rooster before and nearly all my other attempts at drawing or sketching birds never worked well, so I didn’t know how my sketch would turn out. Fortunately, I really like the way it turned out! I drew the rooster…
