✿ ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ Hi everyone!

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend so far (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ Following the unbelievable response to my previous video and receiving an extraordinary amount of encouragement from the lovely humans who took the time to listen to my story, I felt inspired to continue on this video-making journey by creating a new video to introduce this new artistic project I've been working on — I'm making a Webtoon I've lovingly titled "Heart on a Stale Canvas" °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

In this cozy art-vlog-styled video, I introduce the synopsis of my webcomic, the story behind how this project all came about, a general overview of the stages of this project (from a single character sketch, to the first draft of my story, to my first fully illustrated comic page), and my plan for this Webtoon as I prepare for its release.

This is meant to be a bit of a sit-down-and-play-it-in-the-background kind of video, so please feel free to grab yourself a hot drink, a snack, and something to doodle on because it's going to be another long one! (*´╰╯`๓)♬

Thank you for watching!
❤ Riniapple
