Week of Success! Wrong.

Hello, people of the world!

This week's fan art is Meg from Hercules, isn't she gorgeous! 

Also, I make goals of how much artwork I do every week. Lately, I've been suckish at it, this week I set new goals and have been doing alright accomplishing them. It's Wednesday (As of today while I'm doing this blog) and I have done this fan art, working on Ebb and Flow next video if you haven't already go check out the Ebb and Flow channel. I have been working on shorts, which have been really successful and funny.

Ebb and Flow Gamerz Shorts right here.

Also, other news, Easter is over and the next big holiday is Mother's Day!! Yay! I am a mother of two kids and love being a single mama. They mean everything to me and would want to commission artwork for anyone that would like a piece of art for their mothers. 

Contact me for more info. 

You can also check out my store on my website, 

If you do contact me to do an art commission look at these samples for what you would like.

 

Been working hard and also preparing for my book show. I got some copies of my book and haven't set a date but will definitely do a book signing event and really looking forward to doing it. It will be my first time doing it so I am nervous but also excited cause I am really opening up about what I have done and want to display it.

If you didn't here's a link to my books Sweet and Sour 1 and 2.

Have a good day!

I suck at painting

 Hello, people of the world! Krissy doing another blog.

If you've following me on Youtube, I have done three vlogs. 

#1 First vlog video is about me changing things around in my office. I have a small area in my bedroom where I have my office. After quitting and focusing more on my art I changed my office around.

#2 Vlog is about how I created a new website, I pondered a lot about it and finally caved in. Took me so long to figure out how it should look and etc. You can visit the website here, https://www.krissyproductions.com/ it has my store full of art, t-shirts, etc. It also talks about how I lost my apple pencil, which was sad.

#3 Vlog is about how I made bookmarks for the first time. 

I hope to make more stuff like bookmarks, and other stuff like stickers, magnets, posters, and such. I do want a Cricut machine, I think it would help make those stuff for me. But for now, I have a website that helps me with that stuff for now. So go check it out, and get stickers, t-shirts, and such. 

I really hope to become a successful artist, it is one of my skills that I feel passionate about, and want it to grow. Recently, someone asked me to paint realistically and I was frightened of that challenge because I'm not that good at painting realistically. And honestly the first time I tried sucked. I started over at least five times before posting the first one.

Oh, it looks so bad. 

After taking a break from it I tried again.

Eh...it's ok but I wasn't satisfied. Painting realistic isn't my strong suit, nor is drawing animals, I think doing animals is hard. I also think painting realistic is hard, it's not what I'm used to.

I tried it again for the third time. And if you couldn't tell, I was painting a character from a game called Genshin Impact. 

UGH! The more I look at it the more I dislike it, I don't know what it is but I just don't like it. I have tried studying realistic painters on TikTok and youtube and yet I still suck. But what I don't suck is painting Nezuko.

Aww!! Love it!

I am Soaring Details

 Hello, people of the world! Krissy here with another blog post.

From my last post, I may have a tantrum about working part-time. After that post, I took a long hard look at myself, and even though it's hard, I can do it. I can work, do my art, be a mom, and accomplish my dreams. My current goal is to be an artist, go to art cons or fairs, display my work, make my work visible to everyone, and create my comics.

I've been making goals to make that happen. I know there will be days when it will feel impossible to do anything, for I suffer from severe anxiety and depression. But I also don't want that to stop me from achieving these goals. 

So, today I will explain my latest piece, I am Soaring. 

There's a music video that my sisters and I did clear back in 2010, and I watched it the other day and decided to repost it on Youtube; link here. I did nothing to the video itself but did draw the thumbnail. 

I did an excellent job with it. We did this music video on my 17th birthday, it was a lot of fun, and the music video itself makes no sense; it was just something silly we did. The song is Headlock by Imogen Heap; she was my favorite artist as a teen. If you don't know her, I recommend you find her songs on Youtube. She does fantastic work. But if you know her, I tried copying her look in this video. I adored her style back then; she had fun hair and a unique clothes style.

In the video, there's a part where I was jumping on the trap and saw myself soaring. While editing this video, I thought I looked so cool, and as I watched it again, I remember feeling that and wanting to create it in my art. 

Here's the video of my painting. 

One thing about doing this painting is that I loved the look. The more I played around with it, the more I fell in love with this painting. I don't know what it was, but it felt like magic, and I had a blast doing the picture. It only took me an hour and 37 minutes to do.

Still trying to figure out why, but here are a few reverse videos of my painting; I hope you enjoy it, and comment below if you like this painting or not. Thank you!

Conflicted With Life

 Hello, people of the world, Krissy here with another blog post.

I don't know, who has been reading my blogs, but I want to say thank you so much for doing so. 😁 I have been a little conflicted with life, trying to provide for my kids, and figuring out about my art. If you didn't know I do work at a thrift store, and I asked to reduce my hours because 8-3:30 was just too much. I mean yes that's typical hours to be working but then I get too tired to do anything else like drawing, working on my books, etc. Even sometimes taking care of my kids. 

Taking care of my kids.

Drawing, I'm sure my kids are doing just fine.

Being with my kids.

    I want to be there for them, make sure they are fed, etc. But when the hours I worked, I just wanted to feed them something simple like toast and a banana. At least they are fed, right? I did not like that. My feet would be sore, and I was just so depressed. I want to not onfeed them andwith them, take them to a park, help them ride a bike or a scooter, and go to a museum or maybe even a library. I was too tired and exhausted to do any of that. I felt like I needed; Ichange; I did come home once just yelling, "How do people work a full-time job!?! I don't get it! I on't like it; I'm not happy; I'm so tired!"

    Now for those that do work full time, I think that is so great for you, that is a lot to do, and if you like it or love it, like beiteache,r, or a doct,or or whatever a great career is so good! We need teachers, doctors, and such. I am so grateful for those that you guys deserve so much! I just don't know how you do it. For I only did part-time and can't keep up with it. But if anything, if I could be a full-time artist, my dudes, I would!

    When I started this blog, I wanted to see my journey progress, becoming an illustrator, publishing my books, and such. Going through thick and thin. A lot has happened since I started, I became a single mom, and I published two books, not one but two! Being a little popular on Tik Tok, Youtube, and Instagram. Now I just feel stuck, I reduce my hours at work from 28 hours a week to 15, and honestly, it's great, I feel like a can get a lot done and be more of a mom. But I feel stuck. 

    I'm not selling as much, (which is to be expected), I have to keep my job and also looking for a new job since I moved, (want a job closertoI find it stupid. I wish I could be a full-time artist and full-time mom, that would be my ideal life. 

    So I hope I can figure out my life, and hope you guys are figuring out yours, tell me about your thoughts and feelings aboutthis subject, life sucks, but it's whatever. I'm not stopping doing art, I still have to finish the third book of Sweet And Sour, do not forget to get your copy, here arethe the links.

    Here's the latest work I've done; I'll do another post explaining them.

A Few Answered

 As of lately I decided to try posting more of my work on facebook, instagram, TikTok and YouTube. I even have a twitter account. And nothing much has happened until I did Black Panther fan art. 

I asked everyone on my social media who or what’s your favorite marvel movie, a few answered, and I decided to do the Black Panther one. 

I painted it only using one paint brush, just trying to do something different, and took me a hour and thirty five minutes to do. It was fun, but also require a lot of patience for the blending part did made me a little frustrated. 

Here’s a speed paint video of it.

I love watching it come to life, for the painting itself is very dark, it’s cool how in the end you watch it glow up and light up the world, kind of like a jack-o-lantern 🎃. Ever since I posted it on Tik Tok, I got a lot of attention and have more request on Marvel movies. It’s pretty cool I will try to do more request. 

Here’s some others fan art or request I have done. 

Amity Blight 

Octavia 

Milo Murphy 

And the Simpsons. 

I also asked social media which one show they prefer between Family Guy and The Simpsons, only got one vote for The Simpsons, one vote for Family Guy, and two votes for neither. So I did the Simpsons.

Dealing With A lot of Stuff

 Hello people of the world!

Oh my I haven’t written a blog post in a long while, things have been busy. Firstly I did get a part time job at a thrift store, I just had to get a stable income even though it’s been hard, I do enjoy working with my co-workers, and talking to customers, but it has been taking a huge chunk of my time and the other time I have to be a momma. So I feel like I get no time to draw like at all. 

I still try too though. It’s just been more tricky since I work now, and when I’m not working I’m cleaning, doing dinner, laundry, being exhausted, and so on and so forth. I am trying to figure out how to juggle around my schedule for I still want to be a comic book artist, or just an artist of some sort. 

I did accomplished publishing my second book of Sweet and Sour! Yay! My second Book of Sweet and Sour is on Amazon now! Link Here! 

It’s so exciting! I managed to published not one but two books in one year! 

Now that it’s 2023 I want to finish the third book of Sweet and Sour. Also, I want to start publishing Five Star Princess’s. I have started working on it last year and maybe, just maybe, I can also get it done and published this year, if not next year for sure! I think I want to try publishing at least one book a year, that would be hard considering how busy I am now, not only from work and being a mom but I still do Ebb and Flow Gamerz Channel. 

Here’s the latest videos from their channel:

Mr. Hopps Playhouse 

Little Nightmares 

Some funny and spooky stuff! 

Also been dealing with a lot of sickness. Believe it or not but I got strep twice, influenza A twice, and as nice surprised in the beginning of this year I got Covid for the first time. Yay…Ugh, I can’t draw while I’m sick, for all you want to do is lying down and do nothing. Been so fun, hopefully once I’m better I can be on top of things once again. 

Sweet and sour books!
