✧ blog: i've been a drawing FIEND ✧
🕑 Added 2022-08-10 21:20:54 +0000 UTCHello friends!! How are y'all doing? I'm doing okay~ I'm tired and a bit worn down, so I'm trying to take it reeeealllly slow. I tend to bury myself in work when I don't feel well emotionally or mentally, but that never serves me, so!! I'm still trying to work (cause I do love what I do), but I'm just taking it very very easy. You'd think after being self-employed for almost 5 years, I'd have a better handle on not stressing myself out so much, but alas :))
ANYWAY I have been drawing LOADS lately!! I've drawn in my sketchbook every day for the last week, and it's been such a joy. I'm working on a sponsored video (sponsored by HOYOVERSE??? aka the company that makes genshin impact) and for said sponsored bit, I gotta draw fanart of pretty anime boys sO I've been focusing a lot on dudes -- and we're making progress!! Look at this lad I whipped up!
I was even surprised myself, hence the little "oh damn!" lolol
It's also so cozy and overcast today, I'm so happy ToT it's gonna get hot again next week, so I'm relishing in this tiny little taste of fall~
I've found a great series of pictures on Pinterest recently -- it's these "cut-out" photos of people walking, standing, sitting, etc, and since they're all candid photos from out in the world, it's fantastic for practicing everyday stances.
I have a couple saved to this Pinterest board, and if you click on one, TONS more show up in the suggestions below it, so it's a lovely rabbit hole to fall down. :o)
Here's a couple other pages -- I've been enjoying scribbling away with my ink pens and then going back in with my Copics later to color some stuff in. Looking at a colorful sketchbook page always makes me happy :')
When I find myself getting all worried/caught up in my head, I find that grabbing a marker and just sketching with thicker, bolder lines really helps me loosen up! The pens I work with normally are so thin that it's easy for me to get hung up on little things. Great for details!! Not good when my ADHD rage kicks in hahah
I'd love to know what you've been getting into!! Have you been drawing? Making stuff? Playing lots of video games? Anything! I've been sinking a lot of time into Persona 5 Strikers, and it's been so wonderful to get to hang out with all my fave characters again. ;u;
Sending you lots of love!!! I'm gonna take a nap. Happy Wednesday~
Love,
Chey

crocheting!! and I’m making it similar to the JW Anderson cardigan (aka the Harry Styles one) because she started making one and never finished but I’m making pastel to fit her style more!! also if I can figure out how to embroider the squares correctly, I’m going to make it heartstopper themed because she adores that show!

I’m working on a cardigan for my cousin for her birthday! I’m about half way done and I’ve improved so much since making my last cardigan I want to keep it for myself 🤪

First congratulations to your sponsored video by HOYOVERSE!! That is wonderful news, your drawing have so much character and I love all the positions and expressions you use. The fashion is fun and so you. Love you, young one and can't wait to see you soon. Mom<3

Love looking at your sketchbook Chey!! I just finished a crochet tank top lately so that made me feel pretty accomplished ☺️ Trying to decide on whether I want my next project to be knit or crochet!

Hi everyone!! Chey: your sketchbook it’s so beautiful I think you’re doing an amazing job especially with the boy practice. Everyone: I hope you’re doing well and crushing whatever you’re working on!! As for me I’m working my butt off on a crochet shawl to stay cozy in for this coming fall/winter season.

Omg HOYOVERSE?! Congrats!! That’s amazing!!! And your sketches look amazing as always😌✨ I always find men being very hard to draw but you made them look very handsome🥰 I’m currently working my butt off. I really want to open an online shop soon so I’m trying to post a ton to social media but I draw super slow💀 I’m also a Barista, a part time (big emphasis on the part time) graphic design freelancer and have recently been interning for Nue Magazine.

Love the page where you're like "Howl! Howl <3" bc same. I recently hand bound a sketchbook for myself and have been trying to sketch at least a little bit every morning before work, trying to enjoy lower pressure fun creative time. Also playing through Disco Elysium for the first time, wild game

My hobbies rotate constantly, but I've been getting back into PC games & puzzles, and spending a little less time with my journals & sketchbooks. I'm a little bummed I don't have enough time & energy to do ALL the hobbies at once 😵💫🤣 but it's a balance I have to remind myself of! Also, I LOVE the way you use copics over your pen sketches! May I ask which pens you like the most? I find that I get frustrated when markers smear my gel pen sketches 🥴

Awe this was so subtly inspirational <3 And thank you for the references! I just got a new sketchbook and was struggling on the first page - but now I cant wait to fill it with some of these studies!! I've also recently been diving into my bi-yearly intense Minecraft phase as well haha! Thank you for the update - it made my day <333

glad you’re enjoying your sketchbook!! lately i’ve been trying to get back to things i enjoy, since i’ve been very busy these last few months i haven’t been able to draw or play anything regularly but i’ve picked up my switch again and started trying to sketch daily!! makes me feel very warm inside to be doing things that bring me joy ❤️🔥

This was a pleasure to read 😊 I've almost stopped knitting/crocheting entirely lately (actually doing a knitathon for charity tomorrow tho!) mostly bc I was building my gaming PC!! She is beautiful and I've been playing Portal 2 and valheim with my bf So excited cause now I might have a chance at streaming for funsies

Amazing work! Particularly love the page with the sweaters and scarf coloured in. I’ve been working on an embroidered cottagecore collection (I’m also a self-employed full time artist) which I’m excited to release, but other than that, I recently finished The Office for the first time and that wrecked me, so now I’m watching Brooklyn 99 (which I’ve seen before but my partner hasn’t) ☺️

I’ve been really getting back into reading again! Was in a bit of a slump there, but I’m loving escaping into my book worlds🥰
