Hi tumblr,

I made a new account because I was using a secondary blog and couldn't comment or like from it. This way I can actually engage with you all without confusion! To start, an intention:

This is the beginning of my new blog, a new chapter. I will focus on showing my drawing progress, as well as sewing, embroidery, and (eventually) sculpture. My goal is to regain my childlike wonder, curiosity, and fluid unapologetic expression—to get closer to my core self that has lost its footing over these years of adulthood. And most of all, I want to have fun! If you ain't havin' fun, what's the point!?

So hop on the xiao-mobile, let's create some #art! 💖

" love-struck " ⚡️💖

I had fun with this one. I was feeling a bit down but I am proud of myself for pulling through and creating this piece. The tulips were inspired by @mogumu 's tulip charm and @yoonalovekim 's flower depictions in her drawings. I am beginning to appreciate flowers more, they are so joyful to draw 💕

" Rainbow lunar love power "

This was fun, admist feeling emotional. . . I like the effect of fuzziness and blur contrasted with hard definite edges. It speaks to me.

I think i have slowly let go of the idea of any style, similar to fashion. . . And just go with "enjoy myself" and "have fun". . . That usually leads me on a good path. Lead with a loving nature (self-loving included) and all will be well. . .

On side note, I am very unknowledgeable about music and music history. I was made aware of this today, and I feel a bit ashamed. I gotta let go of my ego and admit i just need to do some research. Learning is fun when the darn ego just moves out the way. . Surely. . .

Hope you enjoy this piece and Thank you for reading my tangents 🙏

Edit: I shall call this piece "Juice angel baby" 2023

Im beginning to crave the feeling of being free. . . Letting go. . . Not knowing. . . The result seems to carry not as much weight, as the feeling that created it. . . Interesting.

On a side note, i think this is my first time trying a side profile. . . I really need to practice this.

Not really sure where this one is going . . . Pondering, how i could combine the freeness of this with the cute/soft qualities i like to draw, and technicality. its a start 💗

I want to get more materials soon, on my wishlist:

- gouache

- color pencils

[xiaonyc-archive]

I don't want to be constrained by lines. . . So i made the lines dance

It made me feel happy yet sad,

To realize how much i am holding myself back,

But the moment was freeing.

...

Additional thought:

The thought of not trying and never knowing scares me more than messing up a drawing, so that encourages me to just give it a go.

----

Thanks to @lottee-e for inspiring me with their art, to have fun and let the lines flow

I don't have any friends. Am I bad at being a friend?

Or just don't have real friends because I am fake?

If I don't reach out, no one initiates, or maybe I just pushed everyone away. . . sometimes a distant friend checks in and I am happy. But day to day its quite lonely here.

It makes me sad.
