okami fanart timelapse

I tried pretty much every brush pen I had in clip studio and lined this like 30 different ways but I cut most attempts from the timelapse because I thought it'd ...

I've actually been meaning to update it for a while so I'll post the new one when I do, but this board has been my reference point for the last few years so I thought it'd be fun to see an...

cat sticker & other doodles

here's the cat sticker I posted the sketch for before! mostly done bar some tweaking... I feel like it might have turned out more detailed than the cow sticker, or maybe the proportions are too different, so I'm not sure they look like they go together? taking feedback on that if anyone has any t...
