My Golden Section Composition Study. I tortured myself studying these designs. I didn't think I would enjoy these two, but I did. The writing in one of the WIP is just me regretting why I planned for so many elements here. Good challenge but I'm exhausted... #GenshinImpact #Columbina #Aether #art

My study for Symmetrical Composition... and then along the way I stopped being so symmetrical lol. Also here are my two terrible drafts to remind me that my art usually looks terrible in the beginning and then somehow looks nice at the end. #TrailsintheSky #art

Drew this in Dec 2025, just haven't posted it until now cuz I'm lazy. Also, reminder for me to adjust the colors before turning it into a poster because... yeah it loses a lot of color. This picture does not do it justice, the right side of the poster is so murky ugh #TrailsofColdSteel #art

Tried drawing something with an inverse triangle composition... it got really chaotic at the end. I think I lost the assignment lol. Anyway, I initially was banging my head on where this drawing was going. The last two images is me saying "yeah that's it, I'm done." Next day, I continue drawing...

Been busy but current plan is to study all the compositions. Here, I'm studying Curved Composition while drawing an old character. 2025 vs 2023

What I drew, showing my progress over the past five days. One day is omitted because there wasn't much progress. Honestly, I'm kind of impressed. This might be the first time I drew a "group photo," and it turned out neat. Definitely had to do a bunch of refreshers on perspective, lighting, and bla.

Took another eternity long break but now drawing characters for another idea. I'm kinda liking having sketchy lineart hence why they look sketchy. Also, the thought of doing clean lineart paralyzes me now, so...

My attempt at drawing backgrounds... Eh... good enough.

And finally to the present (2025), I somehow ended up developing a video game (visual novel). Huh, I thought I'd make a web comic first, but I ended up here. Funny how life works.

And then I was in the groove of making a silly story with silly characters (2023... Oh yeah this was also the year when I figured out that increasing the canvas size helps A LOT)

2023 and I went all out on this. You have no idea how long I spent... figuring out how to draw water and a wooden bridge. All that effort from fanart made me stronger 🥲

One last thing that came from 2022. I think the drawings are so scarce because I focused on writing... Or school was a pain in the butt

Still 2021 and I had the ambition to draw fanart for every piece of media I consumed. Only did Omori and Moonlight Fantasy). The last drawing is a redraw of something from an old sketchbook. Short dream.
