I am a self-taught anime/manga artist who specializes in traditional media. I'm best known for making cute, adorable illustrations and working small. Most of my drawings are 5x7 inches and the smallest are 2.5x3.5 inches. I mainly use copic makers and other ink based media, but I also dabble in watercolor and acrylic paints.
While my artist name is Bella-ran, my art brand is Arigatoupop. The name symbolizes my gratitude to all those who support me and my artwork in combination with my love for pop culture and all nerdy goodness. In my spare time I enjoy playing video games, drawing (of course), and creating art videos. I also play the violin, piano, and the ukulele. Rarely I will also write music. The intros to both my youtube series "Chibisodes" and "Lineworks" feature a segment of a song I wrote. My first language is english, but I am also conversational in Japanese and Spanish so feel free to say hi in those languages if you speak them.
Custom Chibi Commission are open on my etsy store to help save up money for my last semester of college this fall. Exciting! :D First custom chibi is $30 and any additional chibi you order with it will be $20. https://www.etsy.com/Arigatoupop/listing...
Just a small update to let you all know I'll also be posting my work on Vero. I use the same name, Bella-Ran, so if you are on there feel free to add me so we can all share art together! :D
