Summertime

In the summer, I often draw very little or not at all. This summer is no different. Currently, we have very hot weather, and I can hardly wait for autumn to begin. For me, the best time of the year starts from mid or late September, with Halloween and Christmas.

However, I can't go completely without drawing, even in the summer, but it's mostly sketches that I do (which I don't always share). Some time ago, I bought the new iPad that came out this year. It was a good upgrade from the one I bought 5 or 6 years ago, and I draw on it more often than with my WACOM graphic tablet. It's just very convenient, and it's also a lot of fun to draw with it :) One of the best purchases I made this year.

iPad sketches

This week, I did two sketches on my new iPad :)

Here you can see Kirilya, one of my newest OCs. Unfortunately, there is no colored illustration of her yet. I hope I'll be motivated to finish one someday ^^

This is Aru, I've already got a few illustrations of her in the gallery. She's also one of my oldest characters and I really like her, mainly because I have a lot of fun drawing her. I don't know why, but some characters are just more fun to draw than others, even if that doesn't necessarily mean you like them more than others you might not draw as often.

Future plans

I'm so excited that the layout of my new website is finally complete. The blog was especially important to me :) I'm very motivated to write blog posts more regularly than before. I'm generally a journal girl, and an art blog is just the perfect way to combine my favorite hobby, drawing, with an activity I also love: journaling.

I have a lot of plans. The first step was launching my new website. One important section is still missing: the Original Series/Characters section. This will follow in due course, but it might take some time as I need to dedicate some time to it.

I'd also love to get back to making YouTube videos (maybe in the fall or winter?). One video idea I have is about "Capacities." It's a tool/application I discovered for myself a year ago. I use Capacities to store my drawings (like a cloud service), but you can do so much more with it, and I'd love to make a YouTube video about it in the future. For example, in Capacities, I have a dedicated "page" for each of my characters. If you're curious, check out Capacities. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to bring order to their digital life :)
