One Year Improvement ! I Spent 2024 Learning Color + Light And I Feel Really Proud Of My Progress...

I cannot explain how much I suffered while drawing this... I was so close to rage quitting

Fellas is it gay to want to gatekeep your best friend?

I like how everything got compressed and I'm too tired to figure out how to make it not like that

You know, I was going to make my first post about how excited I am to start posting my art because I slapped the imposter syndrome and finally had the confidence to share something I felt was a big part of my identity.

AND THEN

MR INSTAGRAM

SUSPENDED AND BANNED MY ACCOUNT

FOUR

TIMES.

the first time i was just confused... but it didn't matter to me enough that I didn't take a screenshot

and then i was sad the second time

after the third time, came the rage.

It was around this point that I started looking into tumblr.

AND THEN

TODAY

INSTA SUSPENDED ME AGAIN!

HELLO TUMBLR!

I HOPE YOU'LL LOVE ME IN A WAY THAT THE MAINSTREAM HATERS NEVER COULD!

also if someone could tell me the image rules so i can post my crispy artwork and so it doesn't look sad and depressed

i also understand that time works differently on tumblr, but... there's an algorithm, right?

Update: the power of tumblr actually saved me

Doodles out a comic on my notes app :)

Okay guys I need a persona

all the cool artists always have these cute little crusty dudes they use to represent themselves... and I WANT ONE.

For a very long time I made a promise to never draw my husband KDJ (or my husband's husband YJH) because I accepted that I could NOT capture the beauty redice studios and sleepy-c had bestowed on this man.

I've always struggled more with drawing men, and I didn't want to do my favorite guy dirty (⁠´⁠°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥⁠ω⁠°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥⁠｀⁠)

I was doodling and I got the most amazing plot idea: KDJ gets GOOGLEY EYES!

I ended up liking the first panel so much I decided to render it...

Instead of googley eyes I decided to change it to cookies because when I drew this it was around white day and I thought it would be cute.

I wonder who gave KDJ these cookies...?

Luka alnst redraw!!

Here's the process:
