This little blog thing is just for me to track my own art and is not really for engagement ALSO it may not be super professional with superb writing or anything like that. Its just me rambling my thoughts. I don’t expect much interest from others at all but still here is my about me!
Hi, I’m Cinryuu, and art and character design have been interesting since elementary school. I’ve always liked art, starting with those early days of sketching tiny cats and other fun little doodles. Over time, my interest has only grown, especially as I connected with similar friends online who share my enthusiasm and are very fun to talk to. These days, I spend much of my free time to this activity because I find it incredibly fun and it’s got to be one of the only “productive” things I genuinely enjoy. Despite trying various activities, art has proven to be one of my most loved pastimes along with reading. (I love reading novels and manhwas of different genres!)
Nowadays, I’m creating my own OCs (Original characters) that can be put into narratives- or just for comfort! Making my own characters and stories has become a personal endeavor that brings me immense joy. Sometimes I sell or trade the characters on an app called Toyhou.se. I use this app and Discord a lot, that is also where I met some of my online friends. Right now, I mainly draw either human or kitty characters. Sometimes I don’t create characters and instead draw existing ones for other people whether it’s a commission or gift, flat colored or rendered. I really enjoy it! Or also I draw fanart of characters I like from media as a way to challenge myself and improve my skills.
While I am definitely not an art expert just yet, I’m dedicated to improving my design skills and expanding my knowledge of art. This includes looking into areas such as color theory and anatomy for rendering. As I continue to grow and evolve as an artist, I’m still in the process of discovering my own distinctive artistic style, but I’m content with the journey and really do find it fun.
For me, art is an amazing hobby; it’s a way for me to bring my own fictional world to life and explore endless creative possibilities (Daydreaming imaginary scenarios is quite fun). I feel like this is just the beginning of my art journey, and I’m excited to see where it takes me. My ambition is to keep learning and growing, meeting other artists, and sharing experiences. I’m also thinking of taking art courses to polish my skills and learn new techniques. Art is not just about creating images; it’s about expressing myself and bringing joy to others through my creations. It’s a never-ending adventure that I’m thrilled to be a part of.
There are lots of great artists I look up to and sometimes take inspiration from their art. Also sometimes it’s discouraging when my designs dont sell but it’s also very rewarding when they do and it makes me feel very happy. But now that they sort of do, I feel pretty happy with it. I realize aside from spending money to support other artists and spoil myself from time to time- I don’t have that much of a use for money since I’m just a teenager with no current good use. So I think it would be great if I did some adoptions/commissions for charity. Not all of them will be but still i think it’s a better use of both my time and money i earn.
That is what this site is for, both for my own personal art progression and as a benefit I can help others sometimes on certain months while drawing. I may also post a few tutorials once im comfortable with my own art.
