My second monthly drawings in the Hobonichi Weeks, this time for September! It's so much fun to try to fill the little blocks every single day. #hobonichi #hobonichiweeks #dailydrawing

Monthly planner spread filled with small comic-style daily doodles summarizing events from August. Work, printing, new vinyl and record fair visits, market days, gym and game/movie nights, all drawn in black ink with neon-green highlights.

Same notebook with daily doodles from before, but zoomed in on the left page.

These are some of my favourite art pieces from the original game.

Felt like drawing Leon. While I love Leon with his dirty blond hair from the later games, OG RE2 Leon with his deep brown hair will always be my favourite ❤️ 🫶 #leonkennedy #rebhfun #rebhfanart

I got a set of Gouache and paper from a client last year but never got the chance to try it out. Florals are always my go-to subject to draw when experimenting with new materials! Made with Royal Talens Gouache, Bruynzeel Color Pencils and Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Pastel Crayons on Cotton paper.

I am sick and tired of printing company employees being condescending to me because they hear a younger woman on the phone. Sometimes it feels the same as going to the car dealership smh

The second one is hands down my fav!! I LOVE the way you coloured the peonies

Clearly I've not been vocal enough about genAI cause genAI people keep following me so let's fire some rent lowering shots Fuck genAI, it has no use, steals from artists, destroys the environment If every game has genAI going forward, I'll just play the 40 years of games that don't Hire humans

Did you know you can just commission artists to make things for you? You give them some money and they create art for you! You don't have to do any work and you get art custom-made just for you! Or you can get involved and offer references and info and make it more of a collab. You can just do that!

I only see this emoji when talking to people I highly dislike, so yeah, I associate it with being condescending or mean hahaha

Valid point! I guess it also depends on how much you create.

It’s actually really easy! There’s some great free programs to digitise your own handwriting into a font.

Melsie 🐝✨ @melsieferastudio.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

You could also hand letter the alphabet and punctuation marks and then convert it into a font!

Could be for analog and digital. I always scan my traditional art and keep a digital version for preservation. Could also be done to keep an analog version of administrative files.

Ublock origin has an amazing filter list for AI features. Since I’m using that I don’t encounter any AI overview. Works on both mobile and desktop if you have Firefox or Brave.

please understand. artists don't get nearly as much feedback (praise, comments or otherwise) as you think they do. much less than years and years ago. we don't know how much you like it. we don't know how it affected you. unless you say something, or recommend it, comment, reblog. anything.

Where do we obtain these commercial-use references? • Dedicated sites like trueref.io • There are countless ref pack creators on the artstation.com marketplace • Individual creators with Ko-Fi or Gumroad stores, such as jookpubstock.com, adorkastock.com and faestock.com Have a look around!

I feel you!! My art teachers were fucking horrible about this and it gave me so much shame for YEARS You’re never a bad or worse artist for using references.

I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning

Trans folks: as best you can, tune out the headlines, spend time with one another, build friendship and community. This wave is going to break: their political projects have never been less popular. Were gonna make it through this year and on the other side all our enemies will fall. Stay alive
