2723. Amnea28 fanart, coloured (art trade) ✨

I coloured this Amnea28 fanart I did some time ago! 🖌️ I made it look old and worn out, like an old photograph. I actually had a hard time colour-picking, so I left it monochrome for a while last month... While I wanted more red colours in it (to reflect the

2720. True Love's Vow ✨

In the fleeting moments of life, is it probably love that makes us shine. It's like chocolate melting tenderly even in a brisk wind, a symbol of unconditional love. These are the blessings Sugar Swan Cookie makes, revealing the sweet miracles that gently bathe our world in their

2717. New brush experiment!

To refresh my mind and get me excited to draw things, I played with the parameters of one of my default brush. This time, I want to draw with a brush-like (fude-like) lineart, where pen pressure matters a lot. I want to experiment this with the first fanart of the

2714. 6th and 7th fountain pen: Kaweco AL Sport M Nib in Deep Red and Rose Gold

It wasn't intended, but New Year = New Fountain Pens! XD I didn't want to buy pricey fountain pens anymore (especially since HongDian M2 serves me so, so well) – but these were on 50% discount, and I love my first Kaweco Sport, so I grabbed them. 😳 Both

2711. New ink: Platinum Carbon Black, Platinum Pigment Brun Sepia

I bought these bottles some weeks ago, but only properly write this commemorative post now! They aren't cheap for me but they are worth the money. Super smooth, waterproof (my need), and reliable! Since I started drawing more on paper last year, I got interested in the world

2699. いつの日か by Itsuka

This is an artbook from an artist I've followed for quite some years – Itsuka! Itsuka draws very soft characters art and scenes with lovely painting-style colours and organic shapes. These drawings are very inspiring to me, I wanted to collect them physically. A small bio on the cover.

This purchase was not planned, but it was a surprisingly pleasant tiny little pen! I watched some review videos of Kaweco Sport pen before getting one. One of the first key point of what people said about this pen is that: it is small. Really tiny! I couldn't
