hey bee, do you have an ao3? if yes, what's your un?
who is/are your croomf(s)
SWEATS…. this is where i admit im a huge whore and consider almost every moot i talk to on a regular basis a croomf… i think the first ones that come to mind rn tho (alphabetical order bc im nervous) are aire, beth, cloud, grace, lian and riva, bc i’ve been talking to all them for quite a long time now…. but i can promise you if we’ve talked quite a bit or are moots on priv you’re basically making the list too :’)) i just don’t wanna make the list any longer bc the more people i include the more anxious i’ll be i’m forgetting someone and making them feel left out 🧍♀️
would really love to see a chanlix fanart in your style
hey!! i'm gonna take that as a compliment, thank you <3 i do like chnlx just fine as a ship but unfortunately they do not rattle my bones quite enough to make fanart for them!! maybe if someone commissioned me i'd be willing, but i'd still have to feel pretty inspired i think :) i find making art easiest when its for something that occupies my mind a lot, and while i have read some really good fics of this ship, i don't really busy myself with chnlx on a day to day basis! sorry!
hello! i was wondering if you do commissions?
hi! new people here. sorry if someone have already asked this question before, bbut are you selling your arts? as a print for example? i LOVEEEE your art so much, i would love to have it on my wall. please keep on drawing, i will cheer you from here 💖💖💖
hello dear anon!! at the moment i am not selling anything anywhere BUT i’ve been gathering information and gearing up to hopefully launch a shop within the next two months or so?? i’ve been wanting to do this for a long time but i had a very rough year so it kept being buried by other stuff… but i’ve been doing a bit better recently, and ideally i’d love to have things kinda up and running before the new year!!
i might do a test run for just my close circle first to see how it goes tho :’) but i’m for sure planning on selling prints at least!!

Ngl i think it's the best (imo) scene you've ever drawn . THERES SO MUCH TENSION😭😭😭 . I SO FUCKING LOVE THIS . the details and everything is just perfect. Jsvng looks so nervous yet so excited and mnho is just ready to jump his bones . I LOVE THIS 💋💋💋💋💋
Bee your latest drawing ended me. It's so soft and beautiful. I loved it so much. We are so blessed to have you with us please never stop drawing. I think if I ever see art by you about mnh0 being his canon self down bad and blushing over something jsvng did I might actually die haha. But seriously thank you so much
this means so much, thank you so much for reaching out to let me know <3 honestly i'd love to draw a fond flushed mnho at some point, his softer shy/awkward side is so dear to me... it always makes my chest ache a little.
i'm not quite sure what exactly i wanna draw next; i've been having a bit of an art block and this latest drawing was kind of a breakthrough for me so i'd love to try my hand at more emotive/story-telling works like these... although that could also very easily become a trap where i become too intimidated to finish anything bc i'm taking on too much 🧍♀️ ANYWAY!!! i'll keep blushy down bad mnho in mind <33
the way you get minho’s face so true to life is incredible. you capture him especially beautifully
Bee can you recommend me the device you used to draw?
i use an ipad! i specifically chose it because i already had a macbook and iphone so it would be easier to synchronize/transfer files etc, and also because i wanted to use the procreate app and that one only works on ios. i cant say this is for sure the best tablet/app combo out there but for now it does the trick for me at least :) i used to draw on an super old bamboo fun tablet that was connected to my pc for over ten years so like… there’s definitely no need to go expensive or fancy if you can’t!
have you been wanting to draw and post smut lately ?
wanting to draw smut, yes! actually drawing smut (but also anything at all, in general), barely 😔 wanting to post… undecided!
i’ll put it this way: if i’d for sure want to post smut, i’d be posting smut :)
most of the smutty things i’ve drawn in the past months have only been shared in small group chats or servers bc i’ve been feeling self-conscious/vulnerable about it, so i’m just working up to it in my own pace. i don’t think i’ll Never post anything smutty again, but let’s just say that if you find yourself following me just bc you’re waiting for me to post that, i don’t think that would make either of us happy atm 🥲 not saying that’s what you were implying! but just in case anyone reading this is, i wanted to put that out there.

......where
I need to see or I'll actually combust
ur cat sitting but would you consider.... dog sitting?
hi bee! the kitty is very cute! are their any other mediums you like to work with/what's your favourite one?
ooooo fun question thank you❤️❤️ i love working with many different mediums, as long as they’re buildable! i think only watercolor and ink are the mediums i struggle with bc of their unpredictability and the way i cant layer lighter colors on too of darker colors.. it either means i need to plan very well or let go of my need for control and both are not things i enjoy very much in my artistic process :’)) but layering them with other mediums can be fun, i’m very fond of using multiple mediums in one work anyway!!
i think i mostly love working with paint; i have mainly used acrylic, acrylic gouache and normal gouache, and i feel pretty comfy with those. i love working with fun colors and i love the coverage they can give. ive tried oil paints two times and it was lovely but very different, but i cant use them in my own apartment bc i dont have the ventilation for it! the times i tried them were at my friend’s house :)
another favorite of mine is using black pen. i often hate doing digital lineart bc ive never gotten the hang of it, but i love doing linework and hatchwork and texturing with pen on paper!! i find it so satisfying and fun!!
i’ve also worked with different types of chalks, colored pencils, alcohol based markers, and i love doing collages and just using paper scraps as my medium too.
one medium i’d love to get into more is acrylic markers!! i have a few and theyre great for final details and accents, but id love to get a proper collection going with lots of colors, preferably with brush nibs to get more control over line thickness… im hoping to get some for my birthday in two weeks hehe 🥹
thanks again for asking!! what kind of mediums do YOU like (either to work with or look at)? ❤️
i was wondering if there’s a link to all your art work including nsfw or a thread ? a thread would be lovely
i'm sorry anon, unfortunately looking at some of my old art makes me want to delete it instantly (it has happened a few times already over the past months tbh), so i don't like keeping a neat lil compilation of it all pinned to my profile 😭
i'm not trying to say my old art is objectively bad or anything btw, but due to a lot of insecurities and a nice heaping of crippling perfectionism, i get very self-conscious from just about everything i ever do or say once it's been a few months since i put it out there. change and growth is cool and good but my brain is always trying to convince me that other people will see my old stuff and not realize it's old, and judge me for it, somehow. it's very silly!! but even though i know it's silly, i can't get the alarm sirens in my head to stop going off.
it usually takes a couple of years before i come back around and can appreciate where i was at the time compared to where i am now without cringing and feeling weird about it :') the distance makes me feel less vulnerable, i think.
so yeah, i prefer to just let my old art float around and let other people hunt it for sport... although i have to say, if you browse my media tab on desktop, it's pretty easy to scroll through it! apart from my recent indulgence in a lot of bingo cards, i usually don't post all that many images that aren't my own art. i sometimes even go back and delete media that isn't art just to make browsing the tab easier for other people- it's kind of my compromise for not having a pinned thread.
i hope that kinda clears things up for you a bit!
