◊WELCOME
eyup, thx for clicking ! u have arrived at my monthly artdump: sachersketchbook. like many other neocities netizens, i had a disconnect with social media & no longer wanted to post my stuffs- yet i still wanted a place to myself where i could chronologically archive all of my digital art. and so, this website was made- a hopefully more hands-on and engaging approach to explore my hobbies & tangential thoughts w/o relying on 3rd party sites. every month/two months updates with a new batch of artwork i've made in that time. cool.
this site is by no means a portfolio - i post all, and i mean ALL of the art i've made in that month. polished art will be undoubtedly overwhelmed by colorful stress-relievers. consider this place more of an informal blog than an art showcase. for a more curated experience, you can visit the selected works page.

a self-reflection on this era of my artwork [& the fear of regression]
i used to feel a lot of shame over these artworks, so much so that i almost decided not to share them here. not because they're bad, but because of the complete opposite- the fact that i believe these arts are way more technically sound and visually appealling than what i make in 2023-24.
i think that the fear of 'getting worse' is one that's prevalent among artists, and i especially had internalized this a lot in early 2023, when i started diverging from my usual art program. during this time i was noticing stagnation in my 'improvement,' and i felt such panic over it,, but now looking back, i think that's dramatic to say. (1)well duh i'm rusty, i'm using a newer program. (2)it's like. really fun to experiment. staying in the same style/techniques/program forever sounds kinda boring anyhow.
hiding this era's drawings seems like a shame cuz they're genuinely really good. but letting them define my art now also seems like a shame too. so. we have the equilibrium. acceptance~~
i feel a lot less shame looking at my 21-22 works today. my newer stuff's different, sure, but calling one era of work 'better' than another is just a bit unfair imo. simplier or more mundane doesn't equate to being worse, and for what i make now, my art fits.
mostly, i just want to draw my hot characters in peace.
