"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
I finally finished the painting of Frieren. The original drawing was made for last year’s inktober for day 13.
You can see it here:
I decided to change a couple of details not just for Frieren but also for the background since the last time I uploaded it. I just finished it at the time of uploading, so hopefully I won’t regret not giving it some time to rest on my mind.

After two years I decided to give this painting another try. Most of if was left intact surprisingly. But certain parts were simplified. What I wanted to focus on were the eyes and expressions. they were really goofy before. Misaka’s head position I felt would have a stronger effect if I had her focus on the chocolate out of embarrassment. Saten I feel would be the best friend to learn how to cook anything from. Although she would tease Misaka a bit while doing it.

A certain painting felt a bit lonely so I decided to add in Mem-cho. Here’s the line art and rough draft.

This background is a bit rough but I don’t need it to be too detailed once I put in the subjects.

This will be the background for next weeks painting, the line art is already up so you can already guess who the subject is. I really wanted to play with the lighting.

There’s a couple of new brushes I downloaded for Clip Studio which of course included pens. There is one that emulates translucent ink which I wanted to try out. It’s pretty realistic. I like it.
Now that I’ve done the line art, I cleaned up the lines and finalized sections that I was still planning out. The next step is figuring out how I want to paint it.

This it the background for a line art I did back in October. I decided to try out a red sun this time. Might play around with the lighting a bit later, but who knows. I do wonder if this port city gets snow at all, seeing as it is called Warm.

This will be a future painting of Makima.

It’s about to get even colder where I live so I wanted to paint something to reflect that. Looking at some references I remembered a painting I made back in 2021 that I wanted to eventually get back to and give it another try. So I decided to RE:do my Airi painting of her in a jacket. I also decided to try out a couple of new brushes aside from the sargent brush. I’m glad I did so because some of them fought me less when I was spreading paint and mixing. My plan is to continue practicing until I understand them better. This time around I was also more confident in giving her mitts a try.

It still looks a bit rough, but hopefully it will take form when I finalize the lines. I have decided to just do the rough draft traditionally and then do the line art digitally so as to not waste time redoing the line art more than once.
Hasta la proxima,
