Kak Lennn.. thank you so much for sharing this heartwarming story! This is very related to my current situation. Studying traditional illustration isn't that easy. But i'll keep the fight 😂

This post is so heartfelt, Lenny! Helpful as always.

I’ve also been trying to transition to a traditional medium, and since I travel often, your thoughtful post really gives me hope and encouragement. I smiled when I read about mistakes—so true! The worst that can happen is you get to try again, and it might even turn out better than before. :) I love that you use different trays for different projects. I can’t wait to see Fairy Door coming up soon!

Thank you so much, Honee! I am so glad it's a bit helpful.

I hope this post eases some anxiety. Right? Our mistakes, at least, won't cost lives! :)

Love this post! I transitioned from digital to (mostly) traditional a couple of years ago and don’t regret it at all! I also loved seeing your studio space! So many plants! 🪴

Someone shared this on the feed/timeline. Not sure who, but happy they did.

This is a good post, Len!

And especially where you write about “Mistakes being part of the Process”.

More to say, but probably after a bit of reflection!

Having different palettes for different projects and labelling them - what a brilliant idea!!!
