Hi! I can't stop admiring and looking at your paintings, your art is drop-dead gorgeous! Are you self-taught?

Ohhh, thank you so much!❤ My parents tried to get me into art school (multiple times), and later I tried studying at an art college myself, but I'm a very lazy student and ended up dropping out of everything. So yes, you could say I'm self-taught, haha ^^"

Why not share my prints here too? I've kind of taken a step back from digital art during my break and focused on some other stuff instead, like linocut printing. To be honest, I'd almost forgotten what it's like to really enjoy the results of my work :,3

Merry (slightly late) Christmas, and take care of yourselves!🎄

Hi! Thanks so much!✨ Unfortunately, I'm not taking any commissions right now :c

I didn’t manage to draw anything for Halloween this time because I’ve got too much work and too little energy, but I did make something, so here’s some unexpected content!✨

My new love — a zodiac candle holder I revamped from a vintage piece found at a flea market. Minus historical value (not really historical, not really value), but plus witchy vibes >:3

And yessss, let there be BOOp! 🎃

Hi! Just discovered your art and I love it!!!

So beautiful. I love all the colours, how you draw faces, and the designs....

I'm taking them and rotating them in my brain like rotisserie chickens.

Hi!

Well, now I want the rotisserie chicken, thank you! And really, thank you, I'm very happy to hear that ❤

Hey! If you use Procreate, may I ask what ipad model you have? And what's your favourite brushes? Thank you!

Hi! Hmmm, I'm not totally sure about the models, but I think it's an iPad 7 Most of my brushes are made by myself and pretty basic, to be honest, but the ones I found most useful for line art and sketching were Georg's Manga Ink & Paint Brushes. Haven't used them in a while, but they've been nice ^^

У вас потрясающий стиль 🧡 Изящный, приятный, детальный. Влюблен до гроба в вашу Хозяйку Медной горы, напомнили мне о любимой сказке.

Успехов!

Спасибо огромное! С детства очень люблю эту героиню и сами сказы Бажова, поэтому вдвойне приятно слышать, что вам понравилось💚

I just wanted to say I'm very glad your page came up on my recommended tab. Your art is absolutely stunning. I hope you keep up your beautiful work!! 🫶💖🔥⭐️

Oww, thank you so much! >w< I'm going through a bit of a rough patch with drawing right now, but I'll definitely keep going (mostly because I can't do anything else, haha) 💪💪

what program do you use for art? i’m trying to find an affordable one that i actually like.

Hi! I mainly use Procreate, and for final post-processing, color correction, merging layers, and preparing files for print, I use Photoshop. So it’s probably about 95% Procreate and 5% PS in the end. Although it would probably be 99% and 1% if Procreate didn’t limit the number of layers so much :>
