Gumroad and New Winter Wonderland Coloring Pack

By YamPuff Dec 02, 2023 0 Comments
It's that time again - the Holidays are here and Etsy has decided to permanently disable my shop for unclear reasons. Yes, the Etsy shop I have been running since early 2007 is gone, most likely forever, without even a proper reason from Etsy as to why, right at the most important time of the year for small business runners like me. However, I've always been interested in opening a Gumroad account, and this finally gave me the push to start one. I'm really enjoying it so far - keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming post on why I'm…

DTIYS Challenges and New Coloring Page

By YamPuff Sep 04, 2021 3 Comments
I've had a great time this summer with some DTIYS challenges on Instagram. It's been a really fun way to kind of kick back and get creative without having to design a character, think of a pose, or come up with an outfit. As well, I've enjoyed trying to let the art style of the DTIYS challengers influence my chibi style. I've tried to be a little more fluid and less same-y with the chibis I've drawn. I think as artists it can be easy to get stuck into a kind of comfort zone or style that just works for…

Aerith and Tifa – Free Coloring Pages

By YamPuff May 30, 2020 14 Comments
I'm sure you've all been inundated with more 'stay safe' messages than you can take so I'm not going to get on your cases with even more. 2020 has been an absolute rollercoaster of a year, and here's hoping we can all get through this with our health and sanity in tact! As some of you know, I teach full-time, and since school has been cancelled for about 2 months at this point and will not be resuming till next academic year (if then) I have found myself, as so many others, working from home, social distancing and with hours…

A Decade of Chibis

By YamPuff Jan 07, 2020 6 Comments
Hey everyone! Happy New Years - and happy new decade! Yep, 2020 is finally here, we are in the future, it's official. I've been working furiously on Flowery Dreams, you know, the coloring book I've working on for the past 100 years? Yeah that one. I am now confident in a 2020 release, and am nearly done with all the pages. All that left is the cover design, book formatting, promo images, checking proof copies, making flipthrough videos, collapsing from sheer exhaustion and overwhelming artists' block. It's all gonna be great! *two thumbs up* (more…)

Making your lines POP! An Inking Tutorial by YamPuff

By YamPuff Dec 24, 2018 11 Comments
Inking used to be the most intimidating thing for me as an artist. Sketching was the easy part - I was usually happy with my sketches - it was the inking process that seemed to take the life out of them, make them flat and boring. I've come a long way since those days and I've been wanting to share some of the most helpful tips and tricks I've learned in this little inking tutorial. Sketches look interesting because of all the pencil strokes and artist guidelines. Some areas are darker or lighter depending on pencil pressure. It's like getting…

Princess Chibi Cookie Cutters Collab!

By YamPuff Apr 13, 2018 0 Comments
I'm really excited to share this collaboration with you all! Over the years I have been absolutely blown away with the incredible talent of the people using my linearts - besides being colored, people have turned my chibis into beautiful handmade cards, cross-stitch patterns, tattoos, and even bookmarks! But for the first time ever, you can now EAT my art! Yes, you heard me correctly. My collaboration with Cookies Art by Shirlyn has lead to the creation of Princess Chibi Cookie Cutters! If you are of a baking disposition you could make some tasty princess chibi cookies...and eat them, too.…

New Lineart – Peach Ice Cream Chibi

By YamPuff Apr 06, 2018 2 Comments
Spring is in the air, I'm enjoying Easter Break, and working furiously on commission orders. I did some museum-hopping and landmark touring - and I am just about ready to get back to work with my energy replenished. In the meantime, however, I had the opportunity to work on this adorable lineart! Meet Delilah the desert elf! My commissioner gave me permission and so this lineart has been added to my open lineart collection! You can learn more about this adorable original character here. She is sitting in a delicious bowl of peach ice cream, although you could color the…

Commissions Open and New Lineart Up!

By YamPuff Mar 17, 2018 2 Comments
It's been forever but I have officially re-opened art commissions! Coloring books have been put on hiatus - I need other people to tell me what to draw for a while. Making your own personal art is fulfilling but also creatively draining. So I'm taking a break. I've received some challenging orders so far - I know how I'm spending my Spring Break, that's for sure! Expect lots of new chibis and fun content over the coming weeks. Which brings me to this brand new lineart! Commissioned by a lovely client who has generously agreed to share it with you…
