This piece was inspired by the popular YouTube channel called Lofi Girl, which features an ongoing live video with music playing in the background as a girl studies. Instead of writing in a notebook, my character is seen drawing on a similar setup that I had.

When I was younger, I wanted to become a YouTuber that did art videos, kind of like Moriah Elizabeth’s channel. This was my profile picture for the YouTube account I had created, but never got around to using.


Snapping Back to Reality

Back to Reality

It was, at this point in my high school journey, that I realized that going under lockdown had really jarred my academic abilities. Now, being in school full-time, I noticed that everyone was still adjusting to a ‘regular schedule’. I drew this to represent me snapping back into reality and the actually experience the true high school experience.

When I started high school, I realized that girls my age used Instagram a lot, so I made one. Originally, my Instagram consisted of pictures of my dog, Milo. I decided to make a little introduction to the Instagram page by using a digital doodle I did of my dog.

A Gallery of Pokémon Art

January 22, 2022 - October 2, 2023

The one video game franchise I played as a kid was Pokemon. My first_slide game was Pokemon Heartgold, which I still come back to play every once in a while, just to relive the nostalgia and joy I got while playing it. As I made friends in highschool, I realized that I found some friends that enjoy Pokemon as well, leading me to create Instagram posts of the drawings I created of what I would think my friends' favourite Pokemon of each type would be.

Here is a collection of all the digital drawings I've done of Pokemon.
