Haha, I'll take the compliment!

Thank you btw for everyone sending me kind messages over the years even tho I haven't been active very much. I read them here and there but then I feel awkward responding after too long 😬

Also, it's always such a honour to see people still liking and reblogging my art after all this time. It really feels special. I'm sadly still busy with work and when I'm not I try to work on personal projects, so I can't promise that I will really start posting again. I might only post a couple doodles, would people like that? Cause like, my old illustrations could take me days and I really can't work that in my schedule anymore. Also I need to be careful with carpal tunnel, cause my last Halloween illustrations kinda fucked up my wrist for a bit.

*taps on ur window* u alive

Haha, yeah I'm alive! Just whenever I have energy now I kinda need to spend it on finding and maintaining work! Being self-employed sucks but I don't really have any choice, the animation industry in the Netherlands is too small for it to be any other way.

Also been kinda dealing with depression but it's ok, I'm getting help so no need to worry about me! Once I get better y'all are sure to see more of me again <3

I'm gonna be in the new Style on the Rise zine tho so y'all can look forward to that if you want 😊

pili i'd beat so many people up for u love u

GABBIII,, 😭 I love you so much I won't hesitate in letting you beat up everybody that even dares to look at me funny

Your art is so awesome, I love all the styles! If you don't mind me asking, how do you learn so many new styles so quickly?

Thank you! I'm glad you like my style!

And for your question, when I want to try out something different, a lot of the time I have references with me with the type of style I want to try out. That way I can stay focused as I draw, otherwise I slip way too quickly into old habits. Even then, I still believe it's very recognisable when I've drawn something, as my own default style still bleeds through a lot.

And of course drawing a lot also plays a big part. I don't really master different styles super quickly. A lot of things I've been doing for a while now, I just like mixing things up every other time. Different modes of TurtleFlurple if you will.

So yeah. A lot of it is looking around and keeping track of what you like, studying it, and trying it out every once in a while. Slowly you'll build up your own arsenal of different drawing modes.

Hope that answers your question!
