Helloooo~!!! 💖

Hope you’ve had a nice week! I finally managed to slow down a bit and take a couple of days completely off work. No drawing, no nothing, and wow, I really needed it~

I wanted to keep resting longer, but of course life had other plans (too many little things piling up hahah). So next week, I’ll need to sit down and reorganize my schedule. Right now, I spend so much time juggling between Instagram & Patreon tasks that I barely sit down to draw for more than 1 hour.
And honestly, I need at least 2 hours, because the first one is usually just warming up and finding themes, and only after that the real flow starts. Without that, weeks pass with no proper drawing, bad mood comes in… and well, you know the spiral.

I also had some adult-personal things going on on top of everything, the kind that just make your head hurt~ which didn't help at all.

So I realized I should give myself a real day off every week. Lately I’ve been stuck in this bad habit of not really working but also not resting, so I end up neither productive nor relaxed 🙃 I really need to fix that.

This short break, I spent some time playing Silksong and oooomg it’s so pretty!! I thought it’d feel like HK at first, but nope, this time it’s not Hornet upgrading her skills, it’s you trying to get better (which is kinda weird but fun)
Gameplay has been amazing so far, but with my lack of time/skill I’ll probably get stuck once the difficulty spikes hahah~ :(((((( I don't really want it to~

✿ My Japanese learning journey

This week I also made a big change in how I study Japanese. I decided to stop using Anki (I had about 2,500 words in there). Even though I wasn’t adding much new vocab, I was drowning in daily reviews, ~150 words a day 😅

And since I started playing Animal Crossing and reading again, I was frustrated to spend most of my time just on vocabulary. So a couple of days ago I decided to drop it and start focusing on what I really enjoy.

I managed to finish the other Yotsuba manga I had, and now I really want to read a Detective Conan one. I don’t care if it’s going to be awfully slow, because I’ve already seen the episode many times (Moonlight Sonata Murder Case), and it’s one of my faves!

✿ And remember...

So if you’re in the mood to make some cozy pixel art, don’t forget to check out the brushes, they’re made exactly for that.

I put a lot of love into making these because I really wanted them to feel like classic Game Boy RPG vibes, but easy to use. If you’ve been thinking about trying them out, now’s a good time!! 💖💖
