Art from This Past WeekHello, hope you're doing well :) LivestreamsI did 4 livestreams this past week, here they are in case you want to watch the replay of any of them. They were a lot of fun and I did a variety of drawings, sketches, and challenges: Sketching Cats in My Sketchbook #01 Sketching House Cats with Pencils #02 2 Mins ONLY Per Sketch - Drawing Cats #03 Drawing from Memory Challenge - Drawing Cats #04 Sketches2 Minute Sketches - Here's a couple of my favorites from this challenge: Now here's some sketches I took my time on in my sketchbook: Cats are on of my main focuses this year (all types of cats actually but I'm starting small for now haha) so you'll be seeing a lot more of these kinds of drawings, sketches, and paintings too! Soon I'll be getting into owls and humans again. A lot planned this year, but very focused and only a few subjects - so it'll be easier for me to stay on track and focused. I plan on doing more livestreams when I can in the coming weeks, so be sure to keep a look out on my YouTube channel, weekdays starting at 5:15pm PST. I don't have a set schedule as of now due to the inconsistency of my day job, but I'm planning on doing days like Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for now if I can. Can't wait to share more :) Hope you have a good week! This Week's Video:Sketching a Kitten, just a relaxing and short drawing session. Hope you enjoy it.

Painting & Language Learning Hey, how are you? I've been good :) Just painting and dealing with life & all its challenges. Learning to paint is almost like learning a new language, except it's a visual language rather than a spoken one. And there's no words either. Something you may not know is that for the past 4 years now, I've been learning a 2nd language. I started out slowly and it took me a while to figure out what I even needed to learn or what to focus on. I'm learning Malay, which...

New Watercolor Paintings Hey there, I hope you're doing well :) Let's talk about March. March was a month full of focus and painting for me. I was somehow able to create 58 paintings - almost 2 per day. But not all of them were good, that's for sure.
