a realistic week as an illustrator and manga artist
helloo! This week I was working on starting my online shop, illustrating and doing lineart for my webtoon! This is my first studio vlog, waaa let me know if there is anything specific you want to see/ see more of! I will record my progress as an artist, but in 2025 I'm focusing on steady improvements!
There is no need to rush, take things at a pace where you are pushing yourself while listening to your body to take care of yourself at the same time!
Have a good week!!

Hi all!! This is my desk setup when I'm away from my main studio in Australia! For the few months I've been travelling and taking my work with me.

hii everyone! I was back to visit at the artist village in October 2024, and want to show you guys what a typical day in the life is like when I'm living there! My only regret was that I couldn't show you guys any of me working on art, because I was filming, but I hope you guys see more of the vibe of working there! Thank you, SMAC for having me there!

    I love the way you actually talk about your process and show your struggles with learning how to do new things when it comes to working on your online shop. I feel like I don’t see that transparency with a lot of online creators, it’s just “I answered emails in the morning,” or “I did the coloring on my illustration, this is the final product,” or they don’t even talk about their process at all, they just show what they did in the interim during the day. Thank you for this insight, it gives me the confidence that I can also open my own shop online for my art someday 🙏

      That’s impressive!! I didn’t know this existed! I’ve been told it’s bad to sleep in contacts since they’re abrasive to the cornea. So I’m curious how these reshape contacts are.. I’ll go a Google deep dive later 🤓

    Going through a three month art block period so far. God its brutal. The Arcane fixation has gotten me to practice rendering but I still struggle horribly with finishing any pieces, it’s mostly just painting style study than anything. I used to draw everyday but I haven’t drawn even a line in a month. But seriously was going through the absolute ringer today and found this video on my recommendations-honestly took away so much of the anxiety away. Thank you so very much for making this video 💜
