(Read right to left) No new art after this. Wanted to let you guys know how I'm doing. Went back to yoga bc this was the recommended activity when I first had my arm pain back in 2016. I have been pretty sedentary since before the pandemic and I've always had joint problems. I'm waiting to make an appointment with my doctor but I know it'll take a while bc it's actually been 2yrs since I've had a check up.
.
If you want to know more why that is, you can head on over to my blog. But yeah that's the info on me right now. I am feeling much better since going back to yoga so I'm happy about that.
.
.
Also got that cleaning itch and needing to organize stuff. It'll be a while before I can share anything new, I think.

It's seriously summer and people go to the beach nonchalantly. I'm not comfortable enough to do that with the pandemic still so present in life. Plus I don't like crowds to begin with. So here is a reminder of when I went back in 2018 as part of my other older sister's bachelorette weekend. Oh the memories.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
model: my sis. (LOL she probably wouldn't like me posting this but it's a favorite of mine that I took that year. It turned out pretty good especially since I don't really like having people in my photos.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Evangeline or Eve is probably my favorite characte

Evangeline or Eve is probably my favorite character. Despite her flaws, I find Eve the most lovable.😊 I am also quite attached to her, sentimentally.⠀
.⠀
Although Georgie has actual older sisters, Eve is the only one she considered as one for a long time. Eve is a middle child, she had an older brother and has a younger one. The passing of her older brother impacted her greatly and shapes her. Her way of thinking and how she acts are results of that siblinghood. This isn't much of a spoiler for LtoG but this particular detail and Eve as a whole is the biggest catalyst to the story. Eve is mentioned right from the start and she will also end the story... well at least for now.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
I always get teary when I talk about Eve but I love her character a lot so, I continue to share her. She is the other half to Adam. This means, I now get to share more stuff about the couple. 💙⠀
.⠀
LtoG covers a variety of lives and Eve's is one that spans the entire novel almost as much as the protag, Georgie.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
The novel is available on my Tapas. 💙💙💙 Link in bio~🍃⠀

S t e e p i n g Tea (with Abby)⠀
•⠀
repost from 2018. & the evolution of my art in the form of Abby.⠀
•⠀
The first time I drew Abby, I also dove into her psyche for NaNoWrimo. I'm resharing this because I wanted to share my short stories collection of LtoG characters. 'Short Ramblings (of Those in Waiting)' is available on Tapas, link in bio~🍃 I will be posting them daily until I've shared them all. I believe I have about 7 short story/essays.⠀

When I first imagined Adam, I didn't really think

When I first imagined Adam, I didn't really think much about his features. The thing that is most important about his character is his 'big brother personality'. A lot of the details on him were thought up along the way while creating character sheets for Lullabies.😅
.
.
I have quite a few stuff I want to make centered around Adam, but I'll do that after I introduce one more character from LtoG.

I'm not sure I like how I colored this one. The skin needs more work but it means I need more practice with darker skin tones. I've gotten too used to light skin tones or just a black and white. I feel this needs to be richer. I've also tried yellowed skin tones but that has turned into a mess. Considering that I have a yellower-brown skin myself, I should understand it better but hmm it's not processing enough to my personal liking. I still think she turned out cute though.⠀

How do you color in skin?⠀
