Good day y'all, hope you guys have a happy holiday!

As you can somehow kinda tell from the title, I just came back from a Japan study tour.
It's a tour where you study Japanese while touring around Japan but heh, study *sniggers*
It's also my first time to Japan with my buds so I'm super trilled.

Here's a list of the main places I conquered visited there:
  • Odaiba
  • Shinjuku
  • Ghibli Museum
  • Harajuku
  • Tokyo Tower
  • Tokyo Disneyland
  • Ueno
  • Akihabara
  • Shibuya
  • Mt. Fuji
  • Asakusa
  • Ikebukuro

There're some other places that aren't mentioned above but I'll get to it later. also I've forgotten some places um so yea
Obviously I can't fit 2 weeks worth of photos here, so I'll just post whatever looked presentable.

On the plane. It was a night flight but I couldn't sleep anyway.

Library...somewhere...I really don't know where, but there's a lot of cool art reference books there.

Ghibli Museum(三鷹の森ジブリ美術館). No photography allowed inside but the temptation to break the rules is STRONG.

Aaaannddd done.
Japan is an awesome place to visit and I definitely did not regret going there at all.
It's convenient to get to places via trains and subways and the people there are really nice and helpful.
If you have the chance, just GO and you'll have a good time there (that is, if you have some crazy friends along to hang out with).

Some art related stuff I bought there are: Deleter trial pen set, Kaimei ink and a water colour pen(?).
Really excited to use them in the near future.

Until then, Happy New Year~

So this year I have a lot more free time to poke around the internet. Neko Emoji-27 (Being kawaii) [V2] 
However, I'm really bad at managing time so I couldn't really spare time to do more detailed art.
I prefer to do these when I have longer free times like ongoing hours and days rather than a 1-2 hours per day.
Hopefully I can reduce procrastination and have longer spare time in the future.

Since I'm able to check dA frequently now, feel free to ask any art related questions and I'll try my best to answer them. Llama Emoji-09 (Drinking Tea) [V1] 
Note that I'm not a professional(obviously) so my answers will be based on personal experiences.

As the title said, YES!
Actually I made the account few days ago but that's not the point!

Currently I only uploaded some old stuff.
I will still post stuff here on dA, but I'll include art processes and other misc on Tumblr.
