Hello, I’m TeaHaus. I’m thrilled to have you along with me for my art journey. Whether it be writing or drawing, I aim to connect with you in a deep and meaningful way, or just lighten your mood with some funny scribbles and snippets.
I plan to post as much as I can on here, but you are also welcome to follow me on BlueSky and check out my website. I tag all my art with #my art so you can find it easily.
Thank you for coming along with me on this journey!

A lot of people on twitter wanted me to explain how I draw expressions, so here you go
Unless you're drawing explicit realism, in my opinion, expressions should be exaggerated to some degree. If you aren't doing a 1:1 recreation, the point is to get the FEELING across. Try making the expression you want to draw and feeling how your face pinches and stretches.
Skin doesn't just "disappear" when your face moves it around --- that's where wrinkles come from! Pay attention to where your skin creases when you emote, and use it to your benefit. It's a fine line between overdoing it and underdoing it -- find your own balance.
Ultimately, every expression has a little bit of push and pull, unless your face is completely neutral (and even then, there are still some wrinkles...). Learning to think of expressions as actions and reactions is VERY helpful in learning to draw them without needing a reference, and in learning how to stylize and push expressions based on references as well!
I think a lot of people end up with stiff or unexpressive emotions in their art because they're just trying to recreate a picture instead of understanding WHY and HOW the face is moving --- and it's a tough thing that takes a while to really pick up and learn. Hopefully is helpful in showing a way of thinking about it that can influence your process and approach to emotions!!!
Also, bonus: even without the lines, the planes alone still show a LOT of emotion.
Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your story is sit down and write.
Do not wait for inspiration to come, for inspiration is a fickle thing.
Dedication, however, will bow to your needs.
Hiii!!! I have a bit of a restock post for you guys. Several of my most popular keychains are finally back in stock. If you are looking for a little treat for yourself or maybe a future gift for the holidays, now is your chance!

Look at these two incredible calls for submissions that are actually committed to publishing marginalized voices!
"The Joy They Cannot Erase" centers trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex experiences through art and literature, exploring struggle, resilience, and defiant joy.
"Voices for the Voiceless" focuses on how minority lives and stories transform amid political shifts.
What makes these special? We GUARANTEE publication of at least one piece from every minority voice who submits. The deadline (Dec 12, 2025) might be extended but never shortened.
If you're a creator from a marginalized community or an ally, check out the QR codes to submit your work! Let's create art that refuses to be silenced. ✊
Ok so I’m not sure how to draw his nemesis form yet but consider an X-Men 97’ collab with overwatch 2 and we can have a Magneto X Ramattra skin.
I noticed that the original sketches I did of these cuties were getting popular again. So I thought it would be fun to redraw :)
If you have a request let me know. I would love to draw Juno
