I learn to draw by posting all my drawings here.

This is what happens when you forget to play with your petpet.

Andy continues to learn how to draw by drawing all these indie platformer icons on a couch together!

Happy 20th anniversary to Over the Hedge!

Meet my Christmas Shoyru, Snoooooowballs!

This was inspired by the chapter books I used to read as a kid, like Geronimo Stilton and Bart's Guide to Life.

(I actually read the latter as an adult, but you know, books like that.)

I've been addicted to Bits & Bops as of late and one of my favorite aspects of playing it are the customers!

Week #1. The Evil Pumpkin Twins.

Just started a new town and Broccolo is officially one of my favorite villagers! We’d be bros in real life, I swear.

Some more Cuphead sketches! He's fun to draw, despite how I always play as Mugman whenever I play this game. Which has been a while, actually. I think I'll boot it up if I ever feel like punishing myself soon.

My first ever digital drawing on Adobe Fresco! It's a digitalization of this previous post of mine, basically.

My first ever digital drawing! I just recently got a tablet and a pen and the first thing I doodled was Cuphead, for some reason. It's not even him, it's more like... Bowlboy or something. Posting this here so I can one day look back at how far I've come if I ever learn how to draw, like, Dixit cards or something.

Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell

Eh.

It was good, but the hype made me want so much more from it. Given Disney's recent purchase of it, as well as all the glowing books featured in the book trailer and in the book itself, I was prepared to be wowed by this alleged "bold and unforgettable start to a captivating series."

What I got instead was a fine, occasionally fun Middle Grade novel where random stuff just kept happening. Lots of half-baked ideas here, lots of introduced ideas that never really go anywhere, and it almost felt like the author came up with the title first before the story. The middle of this book is just a series of random appearances of impossible creature after impossible creature.

Still interested in reading the second book, though. And I'm interested to see how Disney adapts this. The physical book itself is a beauty, or at least, the Griffin Edition is.
