Pixiv translates today's sketching theme as ringlets, and I'm not too familiar with drawing those! 🎨

I think I'm pretty happy with this sketch overall. The mirror looks a little awkward and I think I'd like to get better at folds. I think I'm getting better at the cute short hair "swoosh"!

My attempt at sketching today’s pixiv今日のお題-sensei theme of 縦ロール. It’s me in a big t-shirt! I’m holding a mirror in one hand and holding my other hand up to one of my ringlets, which is in the same position as my usual (non-ringlet) sidetails, and floating the same way.

Today’s sketching theme is yukata! 🎨

…which was a bit tricky for me, because I’m pretty illiterate when it comes to Japanese culture! I tried my best with the references I could find. There were some more revealing variants I wanted to try too, but I didn't want to mess up from my unfamiliarity!

My attempt at sketching today’s pixiv今日のお題-sensei theme of 浴衣. It’s a picture of me in a yukata, looking down at it. I can’t really speak for how accurately I did it, but I tried my best! I also put my own spin on it a little! The flowers I drew on it are simplified rue herb flowers! …or at least based on what I could find online. I’ve never seen one in real life, and apparently they’re dangerous to touch, so I guess I won’t be looking for them any time soon.
