You're actually half-correct. I'm a little tired of giving the full explanation so I'm just gonna quote a time where I explained it.maybe it'll be yuno from the very series (i assume) your username was derived from.
"Chidamari Sketch" is an image boards meme term that is essentially a nickname for Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The character designer of PMMM: Ume Aoki, previously was the creator of anime/manga series Hidamari Sketch/Sunshine Sketch, which was a regular "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things" slice of life involving art students. Owing to Madoka Magica's surprise deconstructive nature, "Chidamari" actually means "pool of blood"
This handle originally coincided with me using characters from the show as avatar/signature motifs. I haven't really themed the franchise much since then, nor really actively caught up much, but simultaneously me just sticking with the name, people more-or-less clinging to said handle as well and it fitting with my usual thematic sensibilities (I have a predilection for cute/scary dichotomic themes); it's sorta stuck on to the point that I don't think I can ever replace it.
