i think this is the first thing ive posted that isnt fanart

I drew this for my grandma. Recently I've been thinking about her even more than I always already am and her birthday is this month. And also just because I love her very much. <3

I wanted this artwork to feel comforting and dainty as well as gentle and kind, much like my memories of my grandma. It was important for me to include lots of flowers but esspecially pink roses. They were her favourites and she had a garden full of them. She would talk about the dragonflies in her garden and once sent me and my mom dragonflies made of ribbons (she loved making crafts and sewing <3) so I included dragonflies. She absoluetly adored snowflakes and loved rabbits too. I included a small rat as years ago she had a lovely pet rat named Rosy, and some planets because she once sent my mom a book about space. I included a deer and an angle as angles are angelic and pure, and I think of deers as gentle and dainty innocent creatures. I meant for the drawing to be more pastel colors but it turned out looking kind of Lisa Frank but that's okay. I really hope my grandma would love this drawing. <333

I painted Roz and her son Brightbill from “The Wild Robot” which is one of my comfort movies now. I watched it for the first time a few weeks ago once it became available on streaming. I saw the trailer while the movie was in the theatres and knew “yes I will love this” because I adore movies about robots learning to feel and it looked awesome. It was, the animation is beautiful and the story is very heart touching and I probably cried three times?? I love it so much. I’m adopting Roz as my daughter just like I’ve adopted Wall-e as my son.

So I had to make some kind of fanart and I really wanted something Wild Robot themed in my room so I made a painting.

(Comfort Characters part 3.) Pam Beesly 💗. The Office is probably my favourite show and I love many characters on it but Pam is the most comforting and also most relatable. She's the sweet and shy artsy mom-friend and no Pam hate will be tolerated on this page 😭

(Comfort Characters part 2.) Charlie Spring.

I was introduced to Heartstopper by the Netflix series but after seeing season one a couple times I found the web comic and bought all the books. I adore both the comics and the show and Charlie is my favourite, I relate to him a little too much sometimes. I tried mixing my art style with Alice's for this drawing, don't know if I succeeded though. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

"Everybody needs a Thneed!"

I was just sketching for fun a few days ago when I drew this little Once-ler. I feel like recently I've been trying really hard to have my art look a certain way (less cutesy, slightly more mature, more gentle, etc). So it was nice to just draw something (this Once-ler) the way my hand just naturally wants to draw. This is the same way I drew my Once-lers when me and my friend Monique did our drawing game.

I love this style dearly but I still can't help but feel the need to draw less cutesy sometimes. I've honestly been feeling very artistically insecure recently and have been trying to learn so many drawing techniques at once that I feel like I don't remember how to draw at the moment.

Basic Anna sketch (and by sketch I mean this took me like an hour and four layers). Gonna be honest and say I don’t know what my drawing style is anymore. Also I finally saw Frozen 2 last night so yay :D!!

I've been obsessed with Frozen again recently since watching it to celebrate New Years Eve so I had to draw my dear Elsa. I wanted to draw her with her old dress on but with her hair down cus I love that iconic moment in Let It Go when she lets her hair down.

I've very much been absolutely adoring pomegranates recently so I wanted to draw one. One, because they're such a pretty and unique fruit and two, because we had no pomegranate in the house for a couple weeks and I was really craving it so I thought I could draw it and like eat it with my eyes. Since that little bakery drawing I have discovered I love to draw food; it feels so cozy and wholesome.

I wanted to draw something for Lunar New Year even though it is still over a week away, so here's my attempt at drawing a lion like the lions in the lion dances. This was my first drawing done with Procreate on my new iPad with my new apple pencil!! All my digital art supplies have been upgraded so I'm hoping my art will be nicer from now on!

Merry Christmas people of Tumblr!! I send all of you lots of love and warm wishes this holiday season! ❤️💚🫶:3 here’s some festive doodles!! 🫶^_^🎄(I actually drew this over a month ago, lol)

These are my original mythical creatures. The first one is a “Squibble” and the second one is a “Meepy” (like my username).

Squibble are energetic and playful little creatures that are extremely social, always hungry for berries, and can be a little rowdy. Meepies are mythical creatures that are born the first time a human feels a sense of wistful whimsy. They’re naturally whimsical yet melancholic at the same time, and they’re extremely gentle and sensitive creatures.

I wrote some wholesome, positive messages on these drawings as well because I find them comforting.

Here’s a wholesome painting I did of two baby dragons cuddling. 🫶💗 Honestly so proud of this one, I feel like my eyes have been blessed by my own painting. I don’t even care if I sound cocky, that’s how much I love it 💀.

I haven’t been sharing any art that isn’t fanart yet because I’m worried it’s harder for people to find because you have less options for hastags and no targeted fandom. But ya know what, I really like this drawing and I’m gonna post it anyways. This was actually drawn about a year ago for school. We made a newsletter sort of thing filled with writing done by people in my creative writing class and it needed a cover. If I drew this now just for myself and not for a cover I’d probably add more background.

I have a weak spot for any sort of Forneus and Twins content. Like come on. The most wholesome COTL content you will ever get.

Embrace ur inner fool <3

Thank you for listening to my presentation.
