New Video
Check out my latest YouTube video! As promised, I compiled the footage of my recent painting created using AI generated images to make a full walkthrough. The narration covers many aspects of the process, from challenges I faced to tricks I used to make a more successful image.
If you enjoy it, I'd appreciate a thumbs-up and a subscribe! <3
New Sketches
This week, I churned out a batch of loose concept sketches for Chiyum, the tropical island home of my protagonist, Ava. Noah and I collaborated on most of these, and watching my world come to life was a delight. I hope you can feel the warm, tranquil vibes too

Reflection
Weekly prompts to encourage self-reflection and help you discover impactful things about yourself, your art and your career.
We're now over halfway through the year... mind blown!
Anyway, take some time to reflect on the following:
What is life like for you right now?
What did you think life would be like for you at this point in the year?
What did you hope life would be like for you at this point in the year?
What can you do to refocus your efforts and get the most possible out of the second half of the year?

Resource
In recent years, the graphics tablet market has expanded exponentially, which has been a fantastic thing for artists. No longer is the scene dominated by only one company, meaning that products have to be better than ever and priced reasonably if they hope to keep up with the competition.
Huion has risen from relative obscurity to being one of the top dogs. They're fantastic quality, low prices, and diverse range of products make them a great pick not only for hobbyists but professionals, too. Noah recently acquired one and shared his review on YouTube (hint: it's a hard recommendation). I have serious envy and I'm thinking of getting one myself.
If you are thinking about getting one, it would be awesome if you could use this affiliate link, because then some of the money you spent will go back to me!
