OhuHueVember Week 1 is Done! Ft. Johanna Basford’s 30 Days Of Flowers

In case you thought I forgot about this challenge: Nope! I decided early on it would be best for me to only do the *posts* once a week since that’s the part that really wore me out during October. 😵‍💫

…I also wanted to post this yesterday, but suffice to say this past week was a wild ride so it just wasn’t possible.

Same as always: you can read more about my general thoughts/process over on DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/mysticsparklewings/art/1119148508

Annnd post up a gif I've done not too long ago, been practicing hand drawn animation in my off time :3.

Character is an OC of mine, named Milk.

Done in CSP.

I was trying out csp and painted these first-thing. Dedenne was an experiment with the blender tool, and cinccino was me trying to rough up the style a little.

Wow I am too anxious to draw. Maybe one day I'll get over this. The basic problem is I identify with being able to "draw well" and if I don't "draw well" then it's devastating for me. Well that fear of experiencing that means I'm too anxious to even begin drawing, so I get rusty which means I don't draw well which means I'm too anxious to try which means I never draw.

Had a friend say I should just doodle for half an hour every day and not share it to try and put less pressure on myself, and at first that sounded like a good idea but it's about how I feel about my drawing, not other people so I'm not sure it'll work.

In any case I have CSP open up right now and I'm like, 50/50 on whether I will draw so here's to hoping.

Being the oldest at the club but also managing to be weirdly powerful about it is a flex all its own.


:: CSP ::

Page from my WIP colouring book combining animals from my small sanctuary, Trumspringa Sanctuary, and various plants, roots, fruits, and vegetables. Done in CSP on an XP-Pen Pro Artist 24.

Not quite burning the midnight oil tonight, but still closer than I’m strictly comfortable with. 🫤

For this one though, I decided to let the magnets take the lead instead of thinking about it too much. Sometimes they just know best.

The news of CSP wanting to move to a subscription based model is just.... sad. Its gotten so popular because its fraction of the price of some of the competitors, and is a one time payment. Please, people, refuse to pay subscription prices for software. Always go for the freeware or one-time-fee licenses over a similar program with a subscription model. We need to make it clear to companies enough is enough- we want to OWN our programs, rather than rent them.

Day 2 of the “Winx that Kiss” Valentine’s Countdown matches my sunny feelings towards this project so far—it’s Stella!

With a side dish of me ignoring pointless/nonsensical changes that the Nickelodeon dub made!

We had to do another round of paid sketch requests after the success of the last two! This time, I prioritized my Patreon supporters, who got first dibs on request slots at a discounted price! Here's the second and third batch of sketches!
