Thinking of opening up the option for local, in person mentorships. Before I release any details, I'm just taking a quick poll:

Are in person mentorships something y'all might be interested in?

My portrait bootcamp is for you if you:
- Spend too much time thinking about drawing rather than actually drawing
- Don't know what to focus on in your studies
- Get overwhelmed by all there is to learn
- Struggle to balance art with other responsibilities
- Thrive with accountability & structure

I feel really blessed to be able to share that space with others

The more I work with creatives the more I see that art is really a buffer.

It's a safe space to explore emotions that feel off limits. A gentle doorway into what holds you back from anything you truly want.

When that barrier falls, art becomes a catalyst for change.

Loving the emotional intensity that's been coming through in your work, Ten!

A sketchbook page with two ink portraits of young women. One appears curious or surprised, while the other looks tired with a messy bun. Next to the drawing is a pink pen.

Awww thank you!!

I think it always comes back to reminding ourselves why we love our art. That's the core of everything <3

The next time you feel like you don't have enough followers, I want you to imagine 100 people standing in the room with you.

All of those people are looking at your art.

A sketchbook page featuring stylized female portraits in ink. There are random drawings of fruit scattered on the page.

A drawing of a fantasy woman with long, flowing hair. Her soft colors of pink and teal are contrasted by dark demon horns and devilish wings. Her body is faced away, but her face is turned toward the viewer, looking downwards.

Your wings only atrophy when you don't use them.

Fly.

A digital sketch of female portrait. The figure has stylized horns and one earring, her face framed in long, flowing waves that fall beyond her shoulders.

Drawing in ink in my sketchbook every day has improved my digital drawings 1000%

(ps. 90% of the ink sketches look like hot garbage, gotta trust the process)

It helps to know at no matter what level you're going to be the artist who has days where you can draw anything and everything and it feels like your hands have been touched by a god, and also days where you forget what a chair looks like
