Thank you, you’re very sweet— messages like this mean a lot to me!

Anonymous said: I love your art. Your technique is so refined and detailed. But...I can't help but feel like I'm looking at the same facial expression over and over to the point it looks like a single character cosplaying. I hope you don't mind this bit of critique. I'd like to see you try and draw laughing, and crying. I'm sure it's just your preference to draw blank faces but it might help you improve more.

No, I don’t mind this at all, anon!  I love critique, and this is very helpful.  It’s something I’ve noticed about my art, and it’s something I’ve been trying to improve but I admit I haven’t tried very hard and should probably put more effort into it.  (And you’re right, I do prefer blank faces, there’s something about them that I find appealing, but it’s not really a good thing to draw too much of.)

Thanks again, anon, I’m really glad for the critique and it’s something I will try to work harder on!

edit: OH AND if anyone ever wants to give me critique, don’t be afraid to, I really want to become a better artist and critique is always great!

cat’s cradle

agh i’m really unsure of putting this up because whenever i do something more experimental i don’t know whether it looks all right or whether it sucks

drew these as requests for jay on twitter!

AWW thanks guys, i made some tea and took some painkillers so i should be all right!

guess who feels sick

it’s me 

A more accurate Scheherazade; thank you to Sophy for the references!  Heavily inspired by this music (give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed).  

I don’t know if the headdress and dagger are accurate, but everything else should be, I hope.

More dumb hetalia sketches, this time with poetry slapped on top of it.  The quote is from Hotspur by Fleur Adcock.

It looks a little asymmetrical but that’s because I imagine Norway rather shorter than the other two.

Oh, and here’s the music I listened to while drawing it. 

oops I forgot to reply to this yesterday, anyway it’s such a silly haircut, I’ve never seen anyone with hair like that.  (but since when have any of the nordic haircuts made any sense)

Thank you!  I’m not sure what looks different about it, but I’ll take your word for it.  I’m glad you like it!
