Hello, artists!
I haven't been here for almost a year, and now Hive is like an alien to me. I don't know exactly where and how to post, and it's hard to find my friends from Steemit. It's kind of overwhelming, to be honest.
I haven't drawn nor painted in the last couple of months, but let me show you some art I made here and there. It's not much, but it's basically the type of art I'd be sharing now that I am back here.
✨ SKETCHES OF FRIENDS ✨
When sketching, I usually use mechanical pencil with 2B lead and a softer pencil between 3B to 5B. I use whatever sketchbook that's available, but I make sure to use a thicker paper to achieve the result I want.
Quick question: What sketchbook brands are you using at the moment? Which one is your favorite?
✨ DIGITAL PAINTING ✨
I started digital painting last year around June. And for the first two weeks, I used my good ol' mouse to practice while saving up to buy myself a cheap pen tablet.
The first 2 (fan-art) paintings below were my results using a mouse. And I thought if I can make them look like this using a mouse, then maybe I can make better ones with a tablet.
But just like any other art, you won't get better unless you make time to practice and hone those skills.
August came and that's when I started working again as a graphic designer. I gradually stopped doing digital and traditional art. To make a long story short, I haven't done anything since.
It's sad when I think about it because art is my remedy.
So much to learn when you're starting all over again, but I hope I find my light once more.
I hope to meet new friends here. I am really happy while doing this post because it brings me back to my old self before all the BS.
Thanks for reading & see you around!

Hello, and welcome to the Hive! It's nice to see you posting again. ☺
Thank you for welcoming me! I missed blogging a lot, and the only platform I could think of was Steemit, but when I asked my Steemit friends, they led me here. :)
I'll be looking forward to seeing your new artworks. And since my desktop computer finally decided to rest in peace three weeks ago, and I can't upgrade yet 'cause I'm waiting for the new AMD processors to come out in the next month. So I'll be drawing a lot with paper and graphite and colored pencils for the time being. ☺
Hey hello :-) So welcome back! Although I haven't been on steem, but started on hive a short while ago.
I really like your pencil sketches <3
Thanks a lot! Means so much to me. <3 Welcome here! People are encouraging here, so I hope you stick around! And I followed you as well!
