Still on fumes.

My art block and exhaustion have lasted way longer than I could’ve imagined. I’m working through it — both on my own and with a therapist. For the first time, I’ve found myself with a bunch of unfinished projects just... sitting there. Not from lack of ideas, but weak drive.

These days, I’m focusing on finishing art commissions. Most of my time goes into mental health recovery and self-discovery, studying from professional artists (Coloso, Domestika, YouTube), practicing basics, and slowly finding a safe space with art again.

Being out of my comfort zone for years — always testing and challenging myself — made me tired faster than I expected. So I’m slowing down, finding a more safe pace.

Here’s a look at what’s still in my hands. I made a collage of current projects: pose and anatomy studies, a composition sketch of Violet Evergarden, some slow-burn personal pieces, dusty Genshin fanarts, and my potential Twitch host animated model. The colored head is for shading and light practice.

⚙️ Meanwhile, I’m building a Discord creative server and planning to return to Twitch when possible.

Maned wolf. A gift for my niece 🌸🐾

This illustration is for my newborn niece—a maned wolf surrounded by the vibrant plants and fruits of its native habitat. I explored the flora of the Brazilian savanna to bring authenticity and life to the piece, hoping it feels as vivid and unique as the animal itself.

More than a gift, I see it as a small doorway to curiosity. One day, if she’s interested, she might learn about this beautiful creature and its world. For now, it’s just my way of welcoming her into life, with a little touch of nature’s magic.

Sometimes getting angrier at your art means getting better.

For the past few months I had to work with water colours which I’m not very experienced in. Every singe illustration made me so angry…

… mostly because after every mistake I had a new idea on how I could have avoided that mistake. And while I learnt to avoid some of them, I kept making new mistakes that I hadn’t made before… and which I also only figured out after they were done.

But in the end, all those mistakes and ideas add up to some very nice new skills. Level up!!

So, be angry as much as you want. Just don’t stop drawing!

Exploring art styles to overcome creative blocks.

Over the past week, I'm on a quest for studying new art tricks, re-discovering myself as an artist, and tackling art block with daily drawing and insights from fellow artists.

In a teaching course I’m currently watching, there’s a particular exercise I’ve taken up: studying, analyzing, and mimicking various art styles I’ve saved in my reference folder over the years. The goal is to apply a range of styles to one subject/character, creating a visual comparison of each approach.

Since many of the artworks in that folder are about coloring technique, and color isn’t my main focus just yet, I’ve decided to select styles that stand out more in terms of linework and shape. Styles that feel unique and recognizable even without color.

The subject is my original character Malika. And the first artwork is simply in my current art style.

❔ Can you guess the other two styles?

I kept pushing this task along, sometimes feeling confused, uncertain, and even resistant. So the process was slow. I didn’t celebrate the pieces I finished; they didn’t feel like achievements or anything to take pride in. My focus was simply on understanding what made these styles different from my own. Yet, as I continued, I began to notice new, subtle ways of constructing the figure, working with lines, and adding accessories. That could be faster would I work on just a portrait instead.

The style I didn't have time to apply, but was planning to, is some American comics collective.

Happy Halloween 🎃 Everyone knows that black cats are the ultimate halloween mascot, so I had to draw them for this year’s spooky season. Contrary to popular belief, they’re not bad luck - unless you refuse to give them a treat or cuddle them, in which case they will seek revenge!

I drew these for last month’s drawing challenge on drawing expressive cat studies! If you like monthly drawing challenges, sign up to the flame tier on my Patreon and join us ~ we are about to get started on the November challenge! 💖
