Hey all!!

First of all, thank you to every single person who has decided to follow me here, there are 116 of you now! I still cannot believe I have reached 100+ followers. WOW!! It means the world to me! ❤️

Since graduating, I have been working part-time on a project while also having to apply for at least two full-time jobs weekly to meet my unemployment insurance fund’s requirements, I am still getting used to no longer being a student, too.. Honestly, that whole transition hit me pretty hard mentally, LOL! Anyone else??

But I think my energy is slowly coming back, here I am; somehow still standing!!! I wanted to make a post before I turned into a ghost again! 👻

I hope you are all doing well! Remember: IT’S ALMOST SPOOKY HALLOWEEN MONTH!!! 🎃

Also, here!

Why is Mira staring at us?

Hello everyone! Today I officially graduated from my master's degree!!

It's surreal to write that, LOL!! Over the past years, and especially during the final stretch, university took up a huge amount of my time and energy, and between assignments, projects, internships, and my thesis, art often ended up being pushed to the side.. Even so, I never completely gave up on it?

One thing that helped tremendously was the support I've received here on Newgrounds!! Whether it was feedback, encouragement, conversations, or simply seeing other artists share their work and progress, it helped keep my interest in art alive during a very busy period of my life!

I especially want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my journey here. you made pursuing art feel possible even when I wasn't able to dedicate as much time to it as I wanted!

Now that I've finally finished university, I can slowly start focusing on art again! One of the biggest things I'm excited about is that I recently enrolled in 21 Draw and purchased access to their courses!!

For a long time I've wanted to properly learn fundamentals such as perspective, construction, camera angles, composition, and all the other skills that go into creating strong artwork! Thanks to recommendations and discussions from people in the Newgrounds art community, I finally discovered 21 Draw and decided to take the plunge!

I'm still very much a beginner and I have a lot to learn, but I'm excited to see where this journey takes me! It's funny to think that I decided to seriously give art another chance around the same time I was working on my master's thesis, LOL!!

Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and friendship.

Here's to new beginnings, continued learning, and making more art!!

I've also created a graduation-themed pixel illustration to celebrate the occasion:

Hey everyone!

First of all, I just want to thank all 85 of my followers here on Newgrounds for following me in the first place!!! I genuinely appreciate every single one of you!

I also want to thank everyone who left reviews and feedback on my previous post. I took your advice to heart, and since then I’ve been watching Proko’s videos on YouTube to study and practice drawing! To test how much I’ve improved since I started studying art back in March, I decided to draw a brand new profile picture for myself; this is the result!

I’ve been trying to go for a “less is more” approach when it comes to shading, I also want to learn how to draw my characters consistently in different perspectives and with different expressions, so hopefully I’ll reach that point someday!

Right now, my master's thesis is seriously taking the life out of me- my stomach has been a complete mess lately, probably because of all the coffee and stress!!!! Still, I want to thank all my kind friends for supporting me and believing in me, even if I move at the pace of a slow snail sometimes!

And finally, thank you to everyone who even took the time to read this post! I truly appreciate it!

Hey everyone,

First of all, I just want to say that I seriously appreciate all 60 of my followers here, as well as all the friends I have made on Newgrounds! Your kindness and support really means a lot to me, and I am grateful for it!!

Lately, I have been reading some books from my local library about drawing anatomy and understanding light sources, I feel like anatomy is something I can approach more easily since there are so many references online to learn from, however, I still feel like I really struggle when it comes to colouring, and especially shading in my pixel artwork!

I often feel like I am just winging my colouring choices for my characters, even though I think that I have a basic understanding of things like clothing folds and structure, I still do not feel confident in how I handle colours and shading overall!

Because of this, I wanted to ask if anyone has advice, tips, or maybe even good online resources that could help me improve my understanding of pixel art, especially when it comes to colouring and shading? When I try to look up tutorials, there are thousands of them on YouTube, and it feels overwhelming and endless, so I do not even know where to start?!

I am sorry if Newgrounds is not really the place for this kind of post, it has just been on my mind after looking through my artwork and noticing that my colouring skills are not where I want them to be..

Thank you for reading my post!!

Hi everyone! I’m excited to finally join the community here!!

I love to create through my imagination, and I’m slowly starting to try and do something about it now. My goal is to leave a little mark of my existence on the internet, whether through art, comics, or even simple pixel games! I hope to produce content with good qualities and share it with all of you while enjoying everything Newgrounds has to offer!

I’ll be honest, I’m not the best at creating art from scratch just yet, so I’ll be taking a lot of inspiration from places like craftpix.com, but I hope that won’t stop anyone from enjoying what I produce! I’m really looking forward to sharing my future works and learning from this amazing community.

Thanks for checking out my page, and I hope you’ll look forward to what’s coming next!
