I have graduated!

I've successfully graduated from my university after 4 years, and I will be free from now on to draw much more often than I usually do!

Since I've graduated, I'm planning lots of things that I wanted to do, but wasn't able to:

- Learn Live2d, create a V-tuber model and animations in the future!
- Set up Gumroad for my works, where I will also release video processes
- Merchandise? xd
- Create a YouTube channel to post my processes and other videos
- Improve my art style and explore more fandoms, characters
- Concentrate more on drawing what I personally want, like my OCs
- Buy a new graphic tablet for drawing and a computer for streaming
- Start learning Japanese again
- Draw every day or most of the days! ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧

I hope those plans will come true, but for now I really want to pay attention to the "drawing what I want and every day" part. To be honest, I've been hating my works for a while, and it didn't help with the fact that I was highly stressed all the time. I've lost my identity as an artist, and I want to regain it by figuring out what kind of illustrations I want to create. I've realised that it's better to draw something that I'm proud of, even if it's not going to be popular or monetizable. I will take a break from checking my accounts, engagement, money etc until I feel like I have a healthy relationship with it. I will continue posting art! I just won't engage as much...

One last plan I have is I will be moving to a new city in autumn and getting professional medical help due to my depression and suicidal thoughts, since I wasn't able to do so in the past 8 years. I hope to get treatment and be the best artist for me! (.❛ ᴗ ❛.)

Congrats, your art style is what honestly motivates me to really try and get back into art to improve my own style or well find my style at which I can truly excel at. Exactly why you are the only one I have subscribed to. You show your process of how you go from line art to completed art piece and it's an inspiration. So I will happily stay subscribed so that it can just be a little part that helps you continue your passion and get some new goodies to create more art :3
