Hi there! Here’s the lovely young writer. I decided not to focus on drawing the background because my last work took too much energy, haha. I really liked how his hair turned out.

A young man in a three-piece suit, with light‑brown hair and a green tie, is standing in a relaxed pose.

Here is the full drawing. I spent a lot of time and effort on it. I’m very happy with the work, but I always see things to improve. Now I can go back to fanart.

Hi! I finished the painting for the challenge. I’ll show it a little now. Every time I look at it, I see something new to fix. Lol.

Hi! I’ve got some news. A programmer friend reached out — he wants to make a game and needs an artist. I was a bit unsure about juggling work, drawing, and the game project, but I agreed! I can share my sketches and ideas.

Hi there! Yesterday I had some trouble uploading the video in YouTube, and honestly, I was really upset. But today I decided to give it another try. I think maybe in the future I’ll use YouTube just as a vlog, not only for speedpaints.

Hey! My doubts about the style made me think I should go with a design that has lots of details. Maybe it’s the most crowded character design ever, but it looks really elegant and expensive.

A dignified man stands with his head held high. His outfit shows he’s not just any mage — he’s a powerful one. He’s wearing a feathered cape and a jacket, with a long hem and long sleeves.

Hi, hi! My speedpaint is here, and I hope you’ll like it! Right now I’m working on the next painting — it’s in a slightly different style. You’ll see it soon!

As I said before, I don’t really like the style I’ve been drawing in lately. After thinking a bit, I want to make it more detailed and a little more complicated! Right now, I’m still figuring things out and looking for the style I really want.

A young, energetic girl with blue hair is dancing in the light of a lamp and a disco ball. In the background, a colorful parrot is dancing too!

Hey you! Hope your day is going okay. If you’re feeling a bit stuck or tired, remember you’re doing great just by showing up and trying.

#StardewValley #Demetrius #fanart #art #illustration #DigitalArt

A handsome, fit man is standing half‑turned, holding a small basket of strawberries in his hand. This is the character Demetrius, and strawberries are one of the best gifts for him. In the background, there’s a circle — I meant a magnifying glass and the wings of an unknown insect.

Sending you good vibes today!
I’m sharing this speedpaint process of mine. I originally wanted to record everything with Krita’s built‑in tool, but it didn’t work out, lol 😀

Hope you’re doing great! Now I’m using Krita instead of Photoshop. Honestly, I’m not super happy with how the art turned out technically, but I absolutely love it in terms of my own skills.

The girl’s standing all relaxed, but you can totally see she’s a bit tired—her face gives it away. Behind her, there’s this snake coiled around a bowl, which is a nod to her being in the medical field

Your friendly neighborhood blacksmith, Clint, is here!

#StardewValley #Clint #fanart #Art #illustration #DigitalArt

The image depicts a character from the game—a man who is a blacksmith and is holding an ingot with a hammer in his hands; in the background, sparks are flying from the fire.

Check out my latest submission for the VGen challenge.
I experimented with some new techniques, and they totally clicked for me — I’ll definitely be using them again!!!
