Hi there ^^

I'm coming out of some hard, sad and depressive weeks, that is now in the past and I feel much more motivated to move forward (I explained that on my twitter and my telegram channel, I forgot to mention it here), however this made me lose a lot of time and I have fallen behind with my commissions.

This year I wanted to return to inktober but, unfortunately I'm having money problems right now, and I have to focus a lot on the commissions and try to complete them all as soon as possible to open commissions again indefinitely, since I will use a waiting list system in the future.

I'm glad to know how many artists are motivated this year in the inktober event and I wish them all good luck, I'm more in favor of creating my own prompt list or use other people's prompt list, and not doing this kind of events only in October, it could be in any month of the year, it's a very cool challenge and practice and I hope one day I can afford to do one again.

About commissions, well, I have been delayed a lot and I apologize for that, right now I'm finishing completing slot nº06, and as soon as I finish I will start with slot nº07, I will also try to work with 2 commissions at the same time to speed things up a bit.

Thank you for the patience of all those who are still waiting to be attended, I feel very fortunate to have a community and friends that have supported me so much in all these last weeks and I'm speechless 🥲 thank you very much, you give me a lot of strength to move forward, a big hug to all! ^^

Since I finished my special project (This here---> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43258032/), has been incredible the amount of new watchers, twitter followers, subscribers in my telegram channel, comments, likes, +favs, and more! it really took me by surprise ;_; I have never seen anything like this.

Now reaching 400 watchers here, and... I really have no words, thank you very much for your support ;_;

I hope to continue making art for this community, improve my skills and improve the quality of my art little by little ^^ thanks for joining me in this journey!

This is a small continuation of my previous journal.

Part 1 here ---> https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9955568/

I just wanted to end these journals with a public thank you to everyone, publishing my first nsfw drawing had me very nervous the first 3 days I published the illustration, I didn't know what kind of reaction I would get from the people who have been following me for a long time.

I was expecting negative reactions or somewhat inappropriate comments, but it was not like that, I received messages of support, many likes, many new watchers and followers in all my art channels, even though in most of them I don't publish this content.

Really thank you very much for the support, this kind of content, sexual themes and others are very complicated things to approach for me, I know it's normal, it's something that should not even be a taboo, but I always take this genre of art very carefully and always try to stay away from it.

I didn't expect this approach and I thought I wouldn't be able to handle drawing this kind of content, and I was wrong, I still need to experiment a lot with this genre, I still don't identify what things I would like to draw and what other things I wouldn't like or would like to avoid doing.

I'll be discovering that with personal art from time to time, or with some works for close friends, as I said before I don't think or plan to do public commissions of nsfw art or artistic nudity until I can have enough privacy at home to draw it with tranquility, but when that moment comes I'll let you know ^^

Again, thank you all for your support and comments, they help me a lot, greetings and have a beautiful day, a big hug ^^

Hi guys, almost a month without publishing a new journal, so much has happened.

But today I'm going to get straight to the point, you've probably seen my last post or the change in my profile to "Sometimes NSFW" and wondered, what happened here?

The short answer is yes, I will gradually start drawing NSFW art and artistic nudity... sometimes.

The long answer is a bit more complicated than that, and many friends have recommended me before not to have to explain things to anyone, but I still want to share this with you guys.

You see, because of personal problems at home, lack of privacy above all, I want to avoid drawing nsfw content, I want to avoid problems, however from time to time I'm alone at home and I can work on that content without problems in short periods of time.

Of this type of content, what most attracts my attention is the artistic nudity, and I would like to be able to draw it, as it can help me a lot with the study of anatomy, which is something I want to improve over time.

Soon I will publish my first NSFW work, and it's a project I've been working on for almost several months now and doing that drawing has helped me understand that, yes, I can do this kind of content, I don't feel uncomfortable drawing it, personally I prefer to draw more SFW stuff, but, most important, I can't work with this at the level of public commissions.

It takes me too much time, I can't draw it 100% of my time cause again, no privacy in my house to work in this kind of content, in a hypothetical case, if I open NSFW commissions and it turns out that most of the requests are of this type, how can I work? It would be like putting a rope around my neck.

At least until I get enough privacy to work on this kind of content in the future, I will keep my NSFW and artistic nudity artwork as art that I will rarely be able to do, I will only limit myself to doing personal art or stuff for close friends.

Also, of all my art accounts, Deviantart and FA were the only accounts where I will publish this kind of art, my other art pages will be exclusively SFW, (In the case of Deviantart, I will only publish artistic nudity there, NSFW content will be available only in FA).

I hope that with this Journal I can answer some of the questions about these latest changes in the things I publish and will publish in the future here... and I hope that this decision... does not upset anyone :(

If you have any questions or doubts, I will be happy to answer them.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day! ^^

From today I will try to focus in a healthier way to work on my art, these last weeks I couldn't avoid being depressed, thanks a lot to and Busk(https://twitter.com/Jawsandcorp) for helping me yesterday with some talk, I needed it a lot...

I always thought I never needed help in many things, realizing that you are... and always have been weak is not an easy blow to bear, pretending to be strong is never easy, but when others need to see you well so they can be calm is... it's a habit to wear the "I'm fine" mask when at the end of the day you can barely stand upright.

You are and always will be your worst enemy, and sometimes it's harder to accept it and easier to blame others for your misfortunes.

I know I can't change overnight, but it's important to try little by little.

Thank you for following my art and my progress, it means a lot to me, I hope I can keep improving and learning with you guys, it helps me not to feel alone, thank you very much for everything!

Hello there! ^^ I hope you are all well!

This is a small journal to inform you about some stuff ^^

First, I'm making some adjustments to my FA gallery, I was hardly ever using my Scraps Gallery folder, and a good friend  menceybentayga recommended some settings that can make my gallery much easier to explore and appreciate.

The adjustment is simple, although it took me a couple of hours to do it xD,I have moved all the sketches, practices and WIP's to the scraps folder.

This allows the main gallery to contain only finished works and linearts, I had noticed that my main gallery is very visually unattractive with so many WIP and sketch stuff, so I decided to move them to the scraps folder so that the main gallery can be better visualized.

Don't worry, I know many have asked me to keep posting WIP and sketches of my commissions and work and I will continue to do so, I love it!

But I make this journal in case some of the people that usually check my gallery find that they don't see the sketches or wip and may think that I have deleted them, don't worry, they are now in the scraps folder.

The next thing I will do in the next few weeks is to complete my current list of commissions in digital art, I will not commit to do more traditional art until I finish these commissions as I still feel a bit novice in digital drawing and I want to keep practicing a bit more.

I will also work on some experimental commissions art with a friend and you will see the result soon.

Without more to add, I hope you have a nice day, thanks for reading and see you later! ^^

All slots taken, thanks for everything!

You will find the detailed status of commissions and progress on my Trello page:

https://trello.com/b/HfmtqES8/kral92-commissions

Right now I'm working on the second slot, the first one was already completed, I'm going a bit slow, but I hope to improve the pace in the next days.

Thanks for your attention! ^^

Hi guys, some updates about my first digital art commissions.

First of all, if you are still interested in my commissions, you will find all the necessary information in my previous journal here --> https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9853535

Second, this week I have been very very busy, some plans I had have been changed to other days, and I prefer to update some things to clarify information, sorry for the confusion because again I tried to open these commissions a little faster.

I was originally going to close the form tomorrow Thursday, April 29th. I had hoped to return home that day and start working on the commissions, but my plans have been delayed and I will return home on Saturday.

So to address this, I will begin work on this first round of commissions this Sunday, May 2.

Right now, as I'm writing this journal, I have received 7 forms and all of them have been accepted and each of them has been assigned the slots, as a reminder, I'm working on 2 rounds, the first round, the first 6 slots, and the second round will be another 6 slots, with a total of 12 slots.

I decided to extend the time to keep the form open until the slots of the second round are filled, cause I know that many people have problems with time zones.

I will inform with a journal when all slots for the second round are assigned.

Remember that I use trello to keep all the information and status of the commissions, here you can check the remaining slots and the assigned ones, as well as general information of my commissions (price list, T.O.S and FAQ).

Hello there!

As I announced before, I open my first commissions in digital art.

Honestly I would have liked to open them much later, so I could practice some flat coloring and coloring with shadows, but I need some money and unfortunately I can't wait any longer.

As the name says, these commissions are experimental because they will help me to officialize my commissions in digital art in the future according to the experience I get in these commissions.

IMPORTANT! This will be the first round of experimental commission in digital, I plan to do 2 rounds, possibly 3 rounds if I see that there are many people interested in these commissions, each round I will attend 6 slots.

Some rules:
1. These commissions are experimental and simple, I will only offer up to flat colors because I still don't know how to make good color shading in digital drawing.
2. I will use Google forms to receive commission requests, as I will be attending many people from different platforms.
3. Only 1 character, no extra characters, no background.

The prices of my commissions are based on the style, Detailed style takes me more time and therefore costs more.

Hello there!

5000 + Favs 😭, what a great achievement T^T thank you so much guys, I'm glad you like my stuff 😭 I'm not very good with words, but thank you very much for everything, I hope to continue to create much more art and grow in this community, and I hope you can join me on this journey ^^.

In this Journal I will also comment on something extremely important, which has to do with my commissions and drawings in traditional art.

Right now I'm finishing with one of the commissions I had pending for a while, as you can see, my traditional art takes a lot of my time, to the point that things are not working out for me financially, whenever I accept a traditional commission and try to work very hard on it, it usually takes me weeks, sometimes 2 or 3 to complete 1 traditional commission, I feel that if I work hard enough I could finish a traditional commission in 1 week... but that's almost never the case...

I say all this because since art is my full time job, or at least I try to, I have not been able to make it financially, and it has reached a point where I can't continue like this.

I know I still have a lot to learn, and a long way to go, but if I don't make the right decisions from now on, I will run into the same problem over and over again.

That is why I have taken the decision to suspend my commissions in traditional drawing for some time.

I need to work on measuring and restructuring my commissions in traditional drawing, expand my possibilities and above all organize myself better, I will work in a special commission for a friend in traditional drawing, where I will apply new work strategies, new tools, professional drawing materials and evaluate the possibility of sending the traditional drawings internationally from Venezuela where I live.

This project will take me some time, but I hope to learn from it in order to reopen and strengthen my commissions in traditional drawing in the future, hoping to be able to offer a better service and quality.

It gives me some anxiety and concern to write this because, I know that many of you were waiting for me to open new commissions in traditional art and I would gladly attend you guys, but I have not known how to manage well the time and price ratio of my traditional art, and that in the long run has affected me a lot, I can not depend on donations, I must simply improve my work and that is why I have made this decision.

However, that does not mean that I will not attend commissions, as I commented in previous journals, I'm going to open experimental digital drawing commissions.

As soon as I finish completing the traditional commission I'm working on, I will update my T.O.S and publish my price list for commissions in digital art.

I plan to draw for a long time in digital art to practice and improve, I hope to open them this Sunday or next week, I will report with more details in another Journal about these commissions.

While working on the experimental commissions in digital art, I will also work on the traditional drawing project I mentioned earlier.

Without further ado, I hope you understand my situation and why I made these decisions, thank you for reading this journal and if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.

A big hug and best regards! ^^

Hey guys, I want to talk about something important about commissions and my future as both a traditional and digital artist.

It is not easy for me to write this, but I must, my father's death took me by surprise last week... and, it's still hard for me to realize that he is no longer there, I'm sorry if I get too personal, but he wanted me to keep working for my future, and that has filled me with many self-critical thoughts about what to do to improve.

I know that many of you are waiting for me to open the commissions, and I understand that many are disappointed by how slowly I work...

I would like to be a better artist with more skills to be able to attend you all, but I still have a lot to learn, I'm still very slow, but that's ok, as long as you know how to continuously improve and work on it.

My father, in one of his last conversations I had with him, talked about how proud he was of me and my work, and that gave me a lot of strength... now it gave me even more strength than ever, so I must change and work hard to improve and honor those words.

I will soon re-launch the commissions and work on them to be more efficient.

I'm working on new methodologies and work schedules, practicing digital art and planning new price lists, products and T.O.S, I want to focus in the next months on attending commissions, I need to do it, I need to keep working to improve things in my life and help my family as much as I can in these hard times.

I can only say, thank you very much for your patience, for your words and comments of support, they mean a lot! 🙏.

I will soon announce some experimental digital drawing commissions I have in mind as I want to gradually get more involved in digital drawing, I will finish with the last traditional commission I owe and I will be able to organize the next traditional art and digital commissions faster.

Don't worry, I'll let you know in time.

Thank you all, take care!

Hi guys, again, thank you all for your kind words, they have helped me a lot, It has been a very difficult few days for me and my family, I still need some more time, but I know that I can't stay like this for long, I must be strong and move forward, I need to go back to work, and build my new future with it.

These next weeks I will slowly try to get back to drawing, I want to try to do some personal art, things I wanted to do for a long time, I don't think I will complete them, but I hope they will help me to practice digital drawing a little bit.

I know that many have asked me to take my time, I would like to, but it's something that sometimes I can't afford, and that's fine, it's part of what it means to be a freelance artist.

Again thanks for everything guys, greetings and take care.

Thank you all for your kind words, they mean a lot and have helped me a lot, it's still hard for me to believe what happened, but I guess that's life.

I think the hardest part is not being able to see him for the last time, or not being able to do anything to help.

I had promised him to do everything possible to visit Spain next year, to see him, hug him, and spend time with him... knowing that I won't be able to do that anymore, it's tough... I still don't know what to think, how to react or what to do, I feel a bit lost...

Hi guys, if you follow me on twitter or telegram you will have already known, I forgot to notify here, I will take a few days, yesterday my father passed away and I need some time.

Oh! thank you so much! >w<

Thanks for all the support T^T

Hello there!

First I apologize for my previous journal, I feel like I wrote too many things and I don't think anyone read it anyway, In short, I was somewhat stressed, and I wanted to summarize the things I have planned for 2021 but I prefer not to be so ambitious, I want to think about things calmly and complete what I have pending to do first.

I still have many things to learn, one of them is digital drawing, well, as you have seen in my gallery and last publications, I have been experimenting with some practices, and I plan to do 2 more practices before pause digital drawing for a while.

The reason for this is that I want to focus on the last two traditional commissions that I owe, and I don't want to make those commissioners wait any longer, I expected to study digital art and draw commissions in traditional at the same time, but I have already almost 2 weeks that I don't achieve results that I expected, I'm terrible at organizing my work times... and thinking about it makes me sad...

I still need to learn to focus a lot and take this more seriously, but there are times when I don't know how to achieve it, that is why I want to complete what I owe first and then dedicate myself to studying digital art later, I will finish with these last two practices of digital drawing because I already have WIP of them, and I have very little to finish them.

I will have time to practice digital art later, although I have practiced a lot, I still cannot draw as I would like in digital, I need to get more used to the tablet, I'm already a bit fluent in basic sketches, but when it comes to lineart or inking, I fall terribly, I need to practice that quite a bit before I jump into coloring.

Without further ado, thank you all for following what I do, greetings!

Hello there!

There is something that I have wanted to share with you for a long time, and I would very much appreciate your patience in reading all this that I'm going to write in this Journal.

This has to do with commissions, how I will handle them from now on, and some elements and plans that I have for these first 3 months of 2021, but also a little about myself and about some things that I feel that all of you should know, many friends have told me that I should express this and I hope you can generally understand my problem.

-Commissions, Traditional Drawing, Digital Drawing and the Time Invested:

As you know, we are already January 16 - 17, the middle of the month and I have been working since the first weeks of 2021 on getting started in digital drawing, dedicating 6 hours a day to digital drawing (there are some days that I could not draw), and the the rest I work in the traditional drawing commissions that I have pending.

I have already achieved 7 practices of digital drawing and I feel overwhelmed, I'm usually a super slow artist in traditional drawing, and as you will notice I usually publish traditional drawings in a margin of 1 a week or month, even publishing sketches or WIP.

This for basic reasons of that medium, I cannot erase many times on paper, and less when the quality of the material in which I work is very poor, that is why when I draw in traditional, for 6 months ago I have started a routine in which I draw a practice or preview that I call "Warm-Up Practices" in which I give myself the freedom to practice the commission that I'm going to work on before actually designing the product.

This helps me to practice and become familiar with the character I'm drawing, create a preview with some different poses of the character I will draw, and give the client a choice of which poses or changes they would like for the illustration.

I love doing this because it allows me to deliver an illustration more in line with what the client would like as a commission, it allows me to practice and warm up before drawing the final product and it gives me security in what I'm going to do.

The cost of this is time, and the time I invest in traditional drawings is something that has always left me discouraged, I like to draw on paper, don't get me wrong, but when it takes me so long, or when I make a mistake and I must start from scratch, I lose the desire to draw a little, and it is difficult to draw without making mistakes, I can do it but I must be slower, methodical and careful, a small mistake and the whole drawing can be damaged and that pressure is something that discourages me a lot.

I can't help feeling pressure when I draw a commission in which I have been weeks or even months and I have not achieved a notable advance, and that fills me with guilt, and it is something that I cannot avoid, even when friends, or the client himself tell me "Don't worry, take all the time you need."

I'm very grateful when they tell me that ... but it doesn't help me to alleviate that pressure, it is something that I cannot avoid, and that makes me feel bad ... I feel like the villain, I don't know how to explain it, but because I charge In advance before starting work, I feel a very great responsibility and duty, and when weeks go by without being able to deliver the drawing, it makes me feel terrible, then I try to rush the drawing and make mistakes, and I have to start from scratch again, it can be frustrating ... and that terrifies me.

I don't know if it is a psychological problem, or if I should talk to a psychiatrist, I haven't said this to anyone and it is something that I feel that you should know because I'm trying to improve, now drawing is my only job, I have no other way to survive, at least not for now, the commissions and donations that I receive from Ko-fi or direct donations on paypal help me pay my bills, and bring food to my house, and now I try to improve my quality of life thanks to that, is my job, and I want to be able to offer the best possible service as an artist.

That is why I get very nervous when I take a long time in a commission, I begin to think that the client is angry at how long I have been late, or that the commissioners who are in the waiting queue and who have been waiting for a long time, are angry from so much waiting ... it's something I can't help thinking about and I get even more nervous.

I tell you all this because it is something that I have hidden for almost half a year ... and I don't know what to do, I have no experience in this, maybe I just have to improve my times, I have to calm down, reduce the slots, and gain a little more confidence with myself, which I think is important ... but I don't know, in that aspect I feel lost.

That is why at the beginning of this year, thinking about it a lot, I decided to try to be more demanding with myself, schedule my work hours, schedule my hours of rest, trying to be as professional as possible, if it's my job, it's time to take this more seriously.

And this is where discovering digital art, and that in such a short time I have been able to draw so many things, has left me devastated, in a good way, I'm very surprised by what I have been able to achieve in just 7 digital drawing practices in less than 15 days, and now I feel terrible for not having studied digital art before.

I still have a lot to practice ... but it scares me that this has been the result of only half a month ... I have always said that I would like to draw traditional and digital art, and offer commissions from both media, but now I don't know what to think ...

Maybe I just have to calm down a bit, and not think too much, however I want to thank everyone for the reception that these practices have had, really, they give me a lot of encouragement to continue and I have no words.

I just have to keep working on being a much more competent artist, I hope to learn from my mistakes.

-Planning of digital practices, Month of January, February and March:

This is another important thing that I want to inform you, I really didn't have a plan for these digital drawing practices, I improvised a little these first 7 practices drawing characters of friends, and I was simply practicing things from the courses that I'm seeing to study digital art.

But now I feel that I should plan this a bit since I want to improve the way I do these practices, I still want to dedicate these practices to friends and characters that I like a lot, but I must organize this a little better.

So from practice number 8, starting this Monday, January 18, I will plan the practices so that I will be clear about what I'm going to do in the next few weeks, as you will notice I have only done busts or faces, but I plan to draw half bodies and then fullbodys too.

I plan to use the entire month of January to continue practicing sketches, inkings and grayscale drawings, from February I will begin to practice with flatcolors and gradually I will experiment with shadows, both gradient shading and flat shading.

If everything goes well, by March I would possibly be opening the digital drawing commissions, since I also want to schedule a small space of time to do some personal art, and a small space to rest.

I also plan to open experimental sketches commissions as practices since many have asked me, maybe I can make a few small commissions of that style, since they are sketches, they will be economical, I still don't have an idea of what price I will put them, but I estimate about $ 5 to $ 10, in any case I will notify you in advance.

-Slot System, Forms and Waiting List:

Finally I wanted to talk about this issue, I have been thinking about changing the slot system for commissions, I have spoken with several friends about it, and I have tried to find an alternative, since the slot system is a bit exclusive, at least when the commissions are closed and many people are left out and have to wait until they are lucky to be able to take a slot from an artist in the next round of commissions.

Many have recommended a waiting list system to me, and I'm still not sure whether to use it, because I feel that the problem with the waiting list is that it's something negative for new clients or new commissioners, so I have thought about using a mixed system between slots system and waiting list system, let me explain:

Suppose that I open the commissions, the idea would be that all the people who want to commission me, fill out the google form that I will use in the description of the commissions, once I select the people that I will attend using the form, I assign them a slot, these would be from 5 to 7 slots (they can be more or they can be less), when the slots are full, I will consult the people who were not selected in the form, I will send them a comment related to the information sent, and I will ask them if they would like to be added to the waiting list.

Once the commissions close, I will publish the waiting list, anyone else who wants to request it, I will add them to the waiting list, this list has an order of arrival.

Once I finish with all the commission slots, I would announce the next commission opening, this is where the waiting list will stand out, since of the new 5 to 7 slots of the next commission round (for example), the half or more than half of the slots will be assigned to the waiting list, I will ask you to fill out the google form, and I will assign the slots, again according to the order of arrival of the waiting list, leaving 2 or 3 slots for people who are not on the waiting list, specifically new commissioners.

In case there are no new commissioners, the rest of the slots would be assigned to the waiting list.

In theory, this mixed system would work like this, the idea would be to give opportunity to new commissioners, while attending commissioners who couldn't enter other rounds of past commissions.

At least in theory it would work like that, but again, I'm not an expert on this, and any suggestions or ideas you can give me I will take into account.

Again, I don't like the slot system very much, but I think it can help me attend people from any of the platforms where I operate, Twitter, Deviantart, FA, Telegram and Instagram, I don't want to open only commissions in FA, or in Twitter, because I know that many other people who are not on those platforms, would be affected.

With this mixed system I hope to be able to give everyone opportunities, and not leave anyone out, although I know that over time this could get complicated, so it is possible that I will add a limit to the waiting system, but hey, it's just theory I still have not decided this 100% and I would even like to hear some opinions or ideas from you.

This has been an extremely long Journal, and I hope I could have explained it as well as possible, if you have read this so far, thank you very much for your patience.

I hope to continue improving and offering the best of my art for you in the near future, thanks for everything, greetings!

Hello there!

Thanks for everything, really! I like that you guys like these first steps that I take in digital art, it encourages me a lot to keep going ^^

I can't draw everyone I would like to give them a giftart now, digital art is much faster and I still can hardly believe it, but is true.

I could do these last 4 practices in less than 2 days, something that in traditional art would take me a week or more!

But I must return with the things that I have pending first, however I will try to work on practices like the ones I just did little by little, making a daily sketch practice like those is something I want to try to achieve.

So I will try to draw these digital drawing practices as giftarts to various other friends, artists and or even characters that I like a lot to improve my skills in digital art.

I hope you like the next practices and again thank you very much for your comments ^^

Hello there! Hi guys! ^^

I hope you have had a Happy New Year and a beautiful Christmas, as I said in my previous post, I took a couple of days off, I was at the house of some relatives and spend the new year there, today I returned home, get plenty of rest and now I return to work! ^^

However, apart from resting, I was practicing a lot of digital drawing those days, and it was an incredible experience.

I drew 4 practice sketches, and I want to show them to you, but first I must ask permission from the owners of the oc's that I stole I borrowed to practice digital drawing, since it is a gift art and digital drawing practice, maybe there are no problems, and once I finish talking with them and have their permission, I will post them here.

It's not the first time that I draw in digital, months ago I made a paint sketch to practice but did not continue it, and honestly I forgot everything because I focused on finishing the commissions in traditional art.

I have drawn with paper and pencil all my life and I must admit that during these practices I felt super lost, even seeing tutorials and guides, I did not know what I was doing 99% of the time xD but as I progressed in the practices, I started to get a little familiar with the tablet.

It's difficult to draw while looking at the screen without looking at the position of the pencil, and I still don't get used to it, but I suppose that little by little I will adapt.

In these practices I only focus on sketches, lineart and grayscale painting, I don't want to experiment with colors until I have mastered sketching, lineart and some inking techniques.

I will number these practices from 1 to 4 to keep a record of the practices that I'm doing, and for the next practices that I will do, I may steal I will borrow other oc's from friends or people and artists that I admire to practice so I will see how it goes in future practices, since it is a way of practicing digital art and giving gift art :D, and for a long time I have wanted to make a lot of gift art but, I have not had time since I needed to work in commissions to survive :(.

This week I will be planning my daily drawing routines since from now on I will try to practice a little digital drawing daily while I work in commissions in traditional art, in a couple of weeks, when I finish with the 2 commissions in traditional art that I have pending, maybe I open experimental digital art sketch commissions, but I'm not sure, I'll wait for your opinion, since I'm not sure how they look.

Without more to add, I hope you like the practices that I will publish in a couple of hours, excuse the absence and see you later! ^^

I'm going to take a couple of days off to get some rest.

It has been a very complicated month for me, I need to re-evaluate some work strategies to improve my work rate and concentration.

I need a lot of discipline, and I must be a little more demanding with myself, next year I hope to achieve it.

I don't have much to say, this year has been terrible for many, and I just hope that next year is better for everyone, I wish you a happy new year, see you in a couple of days!

Hello there! I hope you have a beautiful Christmas.

Unfortunately I'm very busy working on the last commissions that I owe, and I doubt I can make a special Christmas drawing, I'm still very slow drawing in traditional art T^T but I hope to improve little by little and to be able to do this type of special drawings more often ^^

Take care a lot, a big hug to all of you, see you later! ^^

Hello there! ^^

Today has been a beautiful day, I'm sorry I didn't notify here, I forgot, but today is my birthday ^^

Today I was more active on twitter and on my telegram, and got a lot of messages and notifications.

All these last days I have felt very lonely, and although I like to be alone, it began to affect me a little ... many people important to me did not remember my birthday, and that hurt a little ... but ... I don't blame them, it's been such a difficult and painful year ...

It has been a very difficult year, I have lost friends, I have lost family members, I have lost my job ... and well the whole situation of the global pandemic ... it is not easy, and I know that I'm not the only one ... many are in a situation equal to or worse than mine...

But above all, I feel lucky, and this new stage of my life as a freelance artist, seeking to become a professional artist it will be a challenge, it will not be easy, but I feel strong enough to move forward ^^

In a short time I have met wonderful people and artists, I have made new friends, and that has helped me not to feel alone, that is why I feel lucky, to all of you, thanks for everything, for the messages, for the RTs, for the likes, for the +fav, no matter how small those interactions, they give me a lot of strength to keep going, it helps me not to feel alone and that for me is invaluable!

Thanks and I hope you have a beautiful night ^^

Hi guys, sorry for the absence, I've been pretty busy these last two weeks T^T , but I'm already returning to draw again.

A couple of days ago Kofi started a challenge about setting goals for 2021 and I wanted to share it with you ^^

I hope you can read it! ^^ Greetings and have a nice day!

Hi guys!

Sorry for disappearing, last week was very chaotic for me, I couldn't work properly, daily electrical service problems, as well as internet problems, common things in the country where I live unfortunately (this country is doomed 😔).

I decided not to turn on the laptop for a couple of days as I was afraid it would burn out from the electrical instability, I have to take good care of this laptop because if not, I won't be able to work for a long time 😩.

But hey, new week, the electrical problems have been solved a bit, so I think I can work normally.

Soon I will publish the Warm-up Practice of my next commission, so to my last 3 commissioners from my list of pending commissions who are waiting for illustrations, thanks for your patience, I know I'm super slow 😭🙏.

And that's it, happy start to the week everyone! ^^

Wow! 4000 +favs T^T Thank you so much, I know that for many it is not a very high number, but for me it is!

Also I'm finishing coloring a commission, and it will soon become the submission number 400!

I'm very excited to see how I can improve from here on :D

Without more to add, thanks for everything, take good care and have a nice day! ^^
