This month's Patreon supporters will get this illo in HI-Res, the PSD file, a WIP gif and more! Audio newsletter coming tomorrow (sorry for being a day late)!! 

I attempted to go 100% digital with this piece but failed because I just really like the look when I put in a touch of physical tampering. I will do an in-depth walk thru/tutorial of how I do this on my patreon this month :)

I will finally be opening an online shop next week! 

It will be a soft opening where you can pre-order a “Flower Baby’ pin.

I’ll also have limited risograph prints and original linework up<3

hi, can you please tell me which device you use for your drawings and which one is preferable for a beginner in digital art?

This is all words from personal experiences. You’ll definitely hear others give the opposite advice and it’s just as valid.

I use the Cintiq 13HD. This works better for me because I have limited desk space and a bigger tablet will leave no room for me to do my traditional line work. As a beginner, I would suggest exploring all media including digital ones. If you have a budget, get yourself a tablet and save up for more expensive devices. There is a difference between Cintiqs and tablets, but transitioning from a tablet to a Cintiq had been (from my experience) a lot easier then I thought it would be. 

I find that your skills in traditional work will absolutely bleed into your digital one, so practice that if you currently don’t have the money for a tablet.

Good luck!

Is the witch you drew for the becoming dangerous book, of Asian descent? I'm Filipino and she looks Filipino to me but I wanted to make sure I wasn't being mistaken

She is likely an Asian gal, but I don’t really know her ethnicity!

How does that Duralar stuff work? It seems kinda neat!

Sorry it took so long to reply! It works like paper or any other flat surfaces!  I use pencil crayon for my line work.
