For your commissions, should we reach out via Tumblr, patreon or somewhere else? Interested in some 👀👀

DM on Tumblr, Twitter or Instagram! ^^

To help me get back into HRT (as I haven't been on it for a while now u.u) I'm opening 3 more slots for commissions. Please have in mind that I'll be delivering the finished product around July, as I still have a couple of them in progress.

Hey

I need you to know you're loved and valid

Thank you so much!! This goes for everyone reading this as well -u-

Why are you any% speedrunning making my eyes singe from tears welling up

Sorryyyy x)

amo tu arte!!

es todo, gracias por escuchar

Muchísimas gracias ^w^

Your drawings are so cute and wholesome, I must say it brings me a strange sensation of joy

Keep it up! :)

Thank you!! <3 :D

I love your art! It’s so nice seeing trans art by a trans person about happy trans people :))))

Any tips for a beginner artist? What to draw, how to stay motivated, etc.

Thanks! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Thank you so much!! w I wouldn't know what to say, the usual "keep practicing" doesn't look like much of a help x) but sadly, is the only thing that will make you better as an artist. I always say that a good sign is that, a while after you've finished a drawing, you start finding imperfections, mistakes, and things that can be improved. Don't be obsessive, and be aware that your drawings won't be perfect, don't think that it means you're useless or anything, is part of the process. Don't hate what you do if it doesn't look as nice as you'd like, that won't get you anywhere, but is fine if you don't like old drawings after a while. That's a sign that you're growing and getting better. You're now able to identify what you can do better, I would worry if after years you still think your drawings are perfect, that means you're stuck there. However, when you become aware of one of those things that can be improved (for example, you realize that in a previous drawing, hands looked weird), try to do it better next time. Don't say "I can't draw hands", just try it x) And you won't suddenly make them perfect, but now you know what you have to work on.

Use references, DON'T copy or trace, but as a visual artist, you have to be very *visual*, so, look at the way others have made their own art, and see what you like about different styles. Search for pictures of people doing activities you want to draw, doing different poses, etc., Is like writing or composing music, you need to read or listen, even if you will create something new, it's great to have references and guides. As for motivation, that's more difficult ^^ It is completely different for each. For me, the motivation at first was creating characters I could surround myself with when I was feeling awfully lonely and depressed, you know, to give them their own lives to get myself distracted from my own. Now my motivation comes more from knowing other people have found themselves in my characters and stories, and that somehow what I create has helped them, even if just a few, even if just a little. I like to compare my old drawings with the newer ones, just to see how much progress I've made x) This is my first digital drawing from 2012, versus one from 2024 (Some people improve a lot faster, I just took a lot of time because the first years I didn't draw as much, in 2018 I only made 3 drawings)

Awwwww, thank you!!! ^w^ <3

one of your posts made me cry because of how accurate it was

*hug* I'm sorry D: <3

Hey random question

Do Avelyn and Lizzy live in Japan, America, Mexico, or just like a generic first world country?

Because of the stories and backgrounds of some of my other characters, the world they live in is a bit different from ours, and countries, politics, and history may be slightly different too, but they live in a country that is pretty similar to Mexico. It's not called Mexico, and it's not *this* Mexico, but it's the closest description I could give x) And the cities they live in or visit are fictional.

I saw your recent post and was wondering if you still wanted to make an online band?

Hello! Sorry for the confusion, I'm not making an online band for now, but a virtual band, which means I want to compose songs and make my characters "play" them (Just like Gorillaz or K-On!, there are actual human musicians behind the songs, but the songs are attributed to a band of animated characters) However, I'm not a very talented musician x) I want to learn and practice a lot this year because having a virtual band has been my dream for YEARS, but it's not like the skills needed can be developed so quickly x) So, I don't discard the option to look for musicians online in the future!! ^^
