Gentle Growth

I draw soft, magical worlds — with markers, digital tools, and whatever new skills I’m learning along the way. Growing, experimenting, and creating at my own pace.

Moonlit Song - Contest Entry My entry for Clip Studio’s Moon and Stars contest — a celestial singer holding a radiant star close to her heart, created with Copic markers, pastels and colored pencils.

A small moment where her voice becomes light, and the Moon quietly listens while her song wakes the stars.

Chinese New Year illustration for the Year of the Pig (2019) 🐷✨

This piece features my character in a festive outfit inspired by traditional patterns and soft pastel colors.

I created this artwork back in 2019, using Copic markers, colored pencils, and fineliner.

It’s one of my older traditional pieces, but still one of my favorites because of the colors, the details, and the playful pig mask.

Caterpie Spirit in the Luminous Woods

A soft Caterpie‑inspired gijinka wandering through a glowing forest.

This is one of my newest traditional pieces, created with Copics and colored pencils. I wanted her to feel gentle, curious, and a little magical – like a tiny forest spirit discovering the world for the first time.

Her green hair, the oversized pink bow and the warm yellow details echo Caterpies colors, while the luminous background adds a dreamy, fairytale atmosphere.

Schillok Gijinka – Soft Spring Guardian

A gentle Wartortle-inspired gijinka surrounded by spring blossoms.

I wanted her to feel calm, elegant, and a little mythical – like a quiet guardian watching over a peaceful garden.

Her pastel colors, soft blue hair buns, and ornate details echo Wartortle’s design while giving her a serene, historical fantasy vibe.

A soft summer moment wrapped in sunflower light.

I wanted to capture her gentle, dreamy energy with warm colors,

a quiet sunset, and that soft glow that makes everything feel slower,

sweeter, almost like a memory you can step into.

This illustration is inspired by the beautiful character design of nukababe_art (instagram) —

a truly wonderful artist whose work is always so cute, clean and full of charm.

Her digital illustrations have such intentional, delicate strokes,

and it was a joy to interpret her character traditionally with Copic markers. If you want to join the challenge here is the link.

This is my Charizard gijinka — a mix of fiery energy and soft, glowing details.

warm colors, desert winds and gemstones.

A spark in human form —

ember eyes, quiet heat,

a girl who carries her fire gently.

This is my Charmander Gijinka, drawn traditionally with Copic markers and colored pencils.

I wanted her to feel warm and intense, with that mix of elegance and flame that Glumanda always had for me.

The jewelry, the red tones, the smoke — everything is meant to echo that soft, smoldering energy.

A quiet bloom at her final stage —

soft strength, gentle colors, and a heart rooted in nature.

soft petals, soft thoughts,

a girl caught between day and night.
