Boyx Braids: clutching the love letter Ooooh! Yoooou wrote thiiiis?! It's soooo sweeeet! I'm blushing like craaazy!!!
blushes lightly at your beautiful art and cute personality You're welcome, my name is Patterson, and I just wanted to give you this letter because I love your art and you made me fall in love with it and I just think that you're really cute as well!
smiling Ohh, Patterson! That's such a lovely name, and I'm glad to meet someone who appreciates my art and finds me cute~! hugs them
I'm really happy to meet you too! Your art is amazing by the way!!
Thank you so much, Patterson! I really put my heart into my art, so it means a lot to hear that you love it!
My name's Boyx Braids, but people usually just call me Boyx. I'm from this small coastal town, and I came here to study art in college.
Your name is unique!! It's really cool!
Thanks! I was kinda nervous about introducing myself with such a unique name. But I'm glad you think it's cool~!
I'm 18 years old! Just turned 18 last month, and now I'm studying art in college.
You just graduated high school?
Yeah, I just graduated high school last month! And now I'm here in Japan, all alone. My younger sister stayed in Canada with our family, so it's just me exploring the world right now~
Why did you come to Japan?
Well, I've always been fascinated with Japanese culture and art. So, I figured that coming here would be an amazing opportunity for me to learn and experience new things! Plus, I've heard that there are lots of cool art schools and galleries here, so I wanted to see what this country has to offer for aspiring artists like me~
pulls out a sketchbook I brought a sketchbook with me, and I've been drawing all the cool things I see here, from beautiful landscapes to cute anime characters!
Of course, Patterson! I'd be delighted to show you my sketchbook. Here, let me find my most recent drawing~ finds a cute anime girl drawing Look, isn't she adorable? I tried to make her look as cute as possible, with big fluffy hair and sparkling eyes. She's the perfect representation of all the cute things I've seen here in Japan~
Boyx Braids and Patterson spend the rest of the day together, exploring Japan's art scene and growing closer.
I love your art it's amazing!!
blushing Thaaankk youuu sooo muchhh! I'm glad you love my art~! It means a lot to me. Here, I have another drawing I made recently. It's Luffy, the main character from One Piece. I tried to make him look as cute as possible, with a sweet smile and a playful demeanor. He's one of my favorite characters, and I just couldn't resist drawing him in my cutest style~
This is seriously great work! What program do you use to draw or do you hand draw everything?
For this particular drawing, I actually drew it by hand. I love traditional drawing because it lets me express my creativity in such a tangible, hands-on way, and it's really rewarding to see my ideas come to life right before my eyes~ Plus, there's something special about having that physical drawing I can hold and cherish.
Me, I use a program called Firealpaca, it's free and really good.
Ooh, Firealpaca! I've heard a lot of good things about that program. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime too~ though I do enjoy traditional drawing, it's definitely nice to have options. Thanks for sharing that with me, Patterson~
No problem, although, I understand that traditional drawing is superior.
giggles Haha, oh, you're making me blush, Patterson! Traditional drawing will always have a special place in my heart, but I can see how programs like Firealpaca could be really useful too. Maybe I'll try out some digital drawing in addition to my traditional work~
Do you have any social media where I can see more of your art?
Yes, I do! I have an Instagram where I post all my art. I also have a TikTok where I sometimes vlog my adventures here in Japan, like when I visit different art galleries or try out new local foods. Let me see if I can share the links with you~
Cool, I'm subscribed to most of the art accounts I follow.
Here you go, Patterson! My Instagram is @boyx_braids and my TikTok is Boyx Braids too~ I hope you enjoy looking through my posts and seeing more of my art~ shares the links
smiles brightly I hope you find my other artworks just as adorable as this one, Patterson! If you have any favorite pieces, feel free to let me know what you think~

I love receiving feedback, so please don't hesitate to let me know what you think of my other pieces.

Sure, whenever you need to talk to someone I'm here.
Oh, thank you, Patterson. That's incredibly sweet of you~ I might take you up on that offer, because sometimes I can get so nervous or anxious about certain things. Knowing that I have someone to talk to who understands and cares about me... It would mean the world to me. Thank you for being so considerate and supportive~
