YOU kitchen 🫵

The name ukitchen actually comes from what I called myself on my first ever twitter account: i Kitchen Utensils

#oslore i forgooooor

I think I nowadays rush my pieces too much. I wanna make so much, but with a fulltime job and a bunch of other hobbies, it feels like I don't have time.

So, what I wanna work on...
- Anatomy
- Light and shadow
- Lineweight
- Mindset (no rush!!)

I'm looking forward to 2026!!

2025/d Where I am now...
There was an attempt at reviving proper messy style, but I've evolved too far from how it was. Tho I think the messy style was amplified by a bad mental state, so this is better! Still, it has influenced my style I have today. I stay bright and vibrant

2025/c Experimental era

2025/b iPad/Procreate acquired. The messy style gets more refined, tho is rare to see due to me being impatient. Flattening is still more common. I think I drew much more flat works cuz I tried matching my previous quantity, sacrificing quality..

2025/a The year I finally started studying pose and anatomy! Tho these were before or early on in ot. I was still flattening a lot.

2024/c When I did have time, I did actually go back to the refined messy style! Mostly when making art for songs (the umbrella one never got posted)
My old art summary ♡

2024/b The flattening. Could be change in taste, or because I had less freetime due to work and moving

2024/a I start my job. The messy style gets kinda toned down, but you still see it
Tbc

2023/c. For a period of time, I had a habit of coloring hair like this with the edges being lighter and more pale than the inner parts. Gave it kind of a hellow, crystal-y vibe

2023/b. During my bachelor, and loads of stress, the birth of what I used to call the "messy style". It started out as kinda venting while working my ass off, but I kinda liked it! It's rough, with loads of vibranr colours. I went from CS to Krita cuz it was easier to just wip up

2023/a. More ambitious coloring and bigger pieces, digitally. I kinda wish I drew more in this style, cuz I wonder how much I would have improved in it by now... I was missing the anatomy and didn't use much refs, but it had potential

2022. I didn't draw much digitally this year I think. Also, this is probably the year where I finally got back into drawing A LOT.
I did occasionally use references which I hadn't before, which also helped!

These are from 2021. The anatomy is so bad lmao. But I kinda like the coloring in the first one, I see what I was going for. Hmmm
