Monthly Summary: March 2025

This month was a hard one... 😓 I had an art constipation for quite a while: didn't like anything that I drew for some reasons. Eventually, I did doodles in bursts: did several small ones in a day when I felt better, and took a few days break away

2431. Pencil doodle

This time, I slowed down on the wet materials (watercolour, markers, and such) and just use pencil. My 10+ year-old mechanic pencil and an eraser. Just that. I drew some kemono friends (thanks to the How To Draw Manga Furries book that I bought recently hahaha). Post is tied to

2424. Watercolour attempt on 200gsm mixed media paper

Some years ago, I bought this one A4 block of 200gsm mixed media drawing book from Canson. I wanted to print some homemade postcards with it where I would draw on my laptop and then print it on this paper. This time, I tried to doodle some watercolour doodles with

2422. Pocket notebook doodle (watercolor) #2

2421. Pocket notebook doodle (watercolor)

Drawing on smaller paper fulfills my psychological happiness easier, and hopefully unblocks this cannot-make-anything phase faster! So I will try to doodle stuff on it some more. :D This time, it's a super random one, with an excerpt of a song I'm currently listening...

2414. Playing with old markers

Since my watercolor set isn't compatible with my fountain pen ink, I dig around my toolbox to search for alternatives. I had some fabric paints for some projects a few years ago, and my twisted crayons too. But then I found this old markers (not mine) that I

2412. Bell in swimsuit (watercolour doodle)

Whenever I feel like touching analog materials (paper, pen, pencil, watercolor, etc.) that's when I notice that I'm really burnt out haha. The order is the opposite of what others usually have...

2410. Looking at you (cleaned)

I cleaned yesterday's doodle. I call it "second go of the doodle", since calling it "clean lineart" actually make me dislike it and I would usually discard it.
