On last year’s Inktober, I made this (titled “Connect”.)
That drawing is not super perfect (according to me,) but I really fond of the drawing as I made it while I remembered my friends as we were unable to meet due to the pandemic. I felt like the little mouse or the frog, we stay connected despite the distance.
I just digitally colored it using Adobe Fresco.
Still not super perfect, but I’m glad I did it. I miss my friends.
The video should have this lofi version of Animal Crossing theme song, but for some reason, it’s not included (IG Story’s policy, perhaps?) Anyway! You can check this Spotify link for the song here:
I had this idea of drawing my character on Animal Crossing.

Story by my good friend: Jay Faiz
It started with a light tap tap tap on your window on a particularly hazy dusk.
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
Just enough to annoy you and tickle your curiosity, even though you are fully aware that you’re on the thirtieth floor and it is impossible for anyone to do it since you are sure that there are no ledges outside and there’s no way that a window cleaner would work at this hour.
Tap tap tap.
You drew the curtains and saw it.
It smiled slightly, waved its scrawny hand, and said hi.
And disappeared.
From then on, whenever the day ended hazy and everything is all orange and gray, you hear that light tap tap tap on your windows.
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.
Bonus:

I want to work more on the whole action/drama on this drawing. I’m trying to capture the waterfall, but I guess it’s another day of learning 😄
And with this, Inktober 2021 is officially finished!
When you are scared, but you do it anyway, that’s brave.
