Some of my recent work
Introducing Tina, my newest character!
If you’re loving her, I might just create a whole series of illustrations and develop her universe.
A huge thanks for helping me decide in my last post whether to draw her with or without glasses. I really listened to your opinions, and I’m so glad I can trust you guys!
Swipe to the next slide to see Tina without glasses if you are curious
Let me know what you think about Tina in the comments!

Brazilian Hatsune Miku
I saw this art trend on Twitter(X) and loved the idea! It’s sad that brazilian artist can’t participate there because of the ban though :/

Entry for @sanjadraws’s redraw challenge.
Nice character, I always enjoyed women fighters.
I have a few more challenges like that planned and serious stuff will start for me, revamping my website, opening my online shop and much more!
Hope you enjoy this one!

Entry for @theartofemilia’s redraw challenge. Nice character, so I had to join!
I said in my previous post that I found Procreate too limited and tested Artstudio Pro; this piece was done with it. It’s a perfect combination of the best of Procreate and Photoshop. I don’t know why no one is talking about it, but it deserves an article on my blog soon.
Hope you enjoy this one!

I’ve recently been following Seoji’s courses through Coloso, and I’m showing you an exercise I did from the course. The goal was to learn stylization based on photography (reference in the second slide).
It was challenging; I’ve rarely applied so many brush strokes! But I also realize that I’m very limited by Procreate. It’s impossible to have professional productivity and efficiency with it. And I no longer like working on my PC with my bulky tablet. I’m going to try Artstudio Pro, which is a middle ground between Procreate and Photoshop. I’ll give you feedback (if you’re interested?).

Excited to share my entry for @sinixdesign’s Chroma Corps art contest! Here is Veena.
I created a new character design specifically for this challenge—it’s been a while since I’ve posted a full-body piece fully finished, so it was great practice.
For those curious: Chroma Corps is a sci-fi school that serves as the backdrop for this annual contest. The first week is the ‘enlistment phase,’ where artists submit their ‘Chroma Corps cadet’ designs. Out of all the entries, only 16 people advance to the ‘Boot Camp’ phase.
Win or lose, I’m always happy to be part of a talented community. The level is insane on this challenge, but it’s humbling. Now let’s get back to hardcore training ⚔️
What do you think of my character?

I do a lot of challenges where I redraw the creations of other talented artists like here @aisarine. It would be time for me to work a bit more on my own characters, right?
BUT I love these challenges, I really liked this one, very colorful and unique, it allowed me to experiment with new things. I really like it, she’s very stylish. I hope you appreciate this character through my vision, let me know!

My version of @uqi32_’s character. I tried a different style of coloring this time, just like I did in 2022 with my previous artworks.I experimented with various shading techniques and color palettes. There is still room for improvement, but I’m satisfied with the result.
Hope you like it 🙂

Hey everyone! This is my very first chibi-style character post! I created this little cutie to go along with an article I wrote about the best Instagram alternatives for artists (it’s live on my website, but I still need to add a few more platforms). I really like this style and might start using it for my animations since it’s way quicker to make.

Here’s Milia again, my OC. I experimented with a new brush for this one. I like the result a lot, but I need to get used to it and maybe only use it for bold black-and-white pictures. I focused on a bold, monochrome look to highlight her serene expression. I used flowing lines and striking contrasts to capture her mysterious allure. Exploring new techniques is always rewarding artistically. I noticed that black-and-white pictures don’t perform well on Instagram, but I don’t care 🙂 I like to draw in that style as much as in color.
What do you think?

Here’s Milia, my new original character!
I haven’t fully fleshed out her story and personality yet, but I’ve been picturing her for a while and just had to bring her to life on canvas.
What do you think?
I really appreciate your likes, shares, and subscribes! They motivate me to keep creating.

Here’s my take on Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy 7. I played the original as a kid and it’s still one of my favorite video game experiences. I enjoyed FF7 Remake and Rebirth even more. The nostalgia hit very strongly when I play it. I have a sketch of Cloud ready, and I plan to draw Aerith too.
This one wasn’t easy to draw at all. I stepped a little bit outside my comfort zone of drawing portraits and tried a complex pose. It’s not perfect, but we are getting better, and that’s all that matters to me.

Back with another Redraw this in your style challenge.
This is Rex a demon girl created by @mfxdraws.
You can check the original character design in the next slides.
I haven’t posted for over a month because I’ve been a little busy with a web design project and my move.
Expect to see more of my artworks and results of my current drawing training. Oh and let me know if you would like to see some of my exercises, it might help you.

Are you sick of the Instagram algorithm?
I sure was. When my passion for art came back in early 2022, I was excited. I wanted to start fresh, learn everything that could improve my art. I bought courses, learned the fundamentals. My goal? Just to enjoy doing art as much as I did when I was a kid, without pressure, expressing myself freely. Then I started posting on Instagram and sharing pictures. It didn’t end well.
At some point, I felt like I was doing a double job on top of the one I already had. If we’re not consistent, we get punished with less reach. Our followers and non-followers miss our posts. We end up devaluing ourselves and our craft just because of a lack of likes. As soon as it started affecting me, I left and focused on different things.
I didn’t post anything for the whole year of 2023. First, because I didn’t have time to draw because of my job the first six months. Then, because I wanted to draw what I truly loved, what I was really passionate about. I changed my style to better fit what I envisioned for myself as a teenager, not to mimic popular artists on social media.
I’m glad I did. It changed the way I draw and how much I enjoy making art. Going for a manga style may not be taken very seriously in the elitist art world, but I’m sure I can create in my own way, express new things, and bring value or inspire people. I’d rather chase this goal than likes.
I’ll try my best to promote myself (I’m not naive!), I want to make a living out of it someday. But I won’t try so hard that I lose my passion for art again and it feels like a chore. Don’t make content for robots. Do it for yourself and the humans you can connect with.
Idk, can you relate? What are your tips for staying true to your artistic voice in a world obsessed with algorithms?

Another Tribute to Akira Toryama.
Dug up this old Android 18 sketch… Been meaning to finish it for ages, but you know how it goes. Then I saw the news about Akira Toriyama and knew it was time to give her the justice she deserves. I was a bit in a hurry for the last one, I gave my best on this one.
I always liked Android 18 as a kid, she was really charismatic and stylish (the way she humiliated Vegeta, I’ll never forget) specially in the Oav « The story of trunks ». Legendary.
Rest in peace, Mr. Toriyama, for all the epic adventures and awesome characters.
I know I said two weeks ago that I would do Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s art, it’s coming soon!
