Inktober 2024 Day 01 Backpack

Running a bit late but hopefully I wont have those problems tomorrow.

I usually just draw whatever I want for Inktober, but I like the prompts this year so I might be following some of them this time. Today’s drawing is Marin Kitagawa wearing a backpack.

After not drawing traditionally for a while, it took me some time to get used to it again. But this made me realize just how much I prefer making line art traditionally as opposed to digitally. There is some that is just more intuitive. Despite that though, I did make a couple of mistakes, some were so bad when I had to actually start inking that I had no choice but to redraw it all again. Hopefully bristol paper works better with the ink because the paper I ended up using always has the fibers get cut and released when I use my maru pen.

On another note, I finally had a chance to try out Clip Studio’s 3d model. I’m surprised it took me this long to actually try it. This will make drawing and coming up with ideas and poses much easier and better. After my brother informed me that all my drawings and paintings were all doing the same thing, I wanted to change things up a bit.

Here’s to the rest of Inktober.

Hot Springs Background

For today’s upload it is the background for a painting that is currently in progress.

Tomorrow is October which means that Inktober will also be in effect. Hopefully I can draw on all days again this year. Hopefully I will be able to paint on top of that as well.

Autumn Lake

There is an illustrator by the name of fjsmu (ふじしむ) that uses some beautiful colors for his paintings. I wanted to give it a try. I believe it uses the concept of color theory. It really makes it pop. I will try to keep this in mind for future paintings.

Kodachi Kuno Swimsuit V3

The end of summer is finally here. Fall is just around the corner! I wanted to do more summer based art but I was bogged down with other things going on. Maybe next year.

I actually wanted to retry a couple of past paintings but since I ran out of time I will have to end it with Kodachi. This makes the third revision (and probably the last). Although version two wasn’t back I wanted to give it another try. I wonder though if people would even be able to tell the difference? I also edited the background but I kept forgetting that certain details would just get hidden behind Kodachi. With that in mind I decided to also add in the background.

Here is version 2:

Ranma thumbs up Re:do

On my first attempt I wanted to emulate the anime style coloring, but I was still learning about colors and just using digital art programs.

You can see it here:

It’s pretty rough…

I debated whether to go with the style I’m currently working on or a flatter anime style. I like both so it was a hard choice. In the end I went for something in between. This time I wanted to give some summer vibes.

I’ve been reading the manga, there is so much I want to draw and paint…

Help me reach more people, like and share if you like my work.

Accelerator and Last Order Rough Draft

I work way faster if I just paint things out instead of using line art rough sketches I’ve noticed. And if I want to make line art from that I can just go over it at the end.

On another note, despite liking Accelerator I believe this is the first time I have drawn him. It only took over a decade…

Nafalia and Twain Foney

I really like the dynamic between Nightfall and Twighlight. I feel really sorry for Fiona, I want her to be happy but let’s be real, Loid will end up with Yor. The cold appearance but flaming thoughts are such a great combination. I really want to do more Fiona paintings.

This time I decided to go for a flat painting style. I also wanted to play with lighting and shadows using layers like in anime. I wonder how far I can push things once I learn more.

Help me reach more people, like and share if you like my work.

Lips test

I’ve seen other artists painting eyes and lips. It not only looks really aesthetically pleasing but it also seems like a nice way to practice. I’ll probably be doing more. It was rather relaxing and felt like learned a bit.

Marin and Gojo at the Beach Line Art

I really loved it when Marin and Gojo went to the beach, it was such a cute moment.

For some reason I was having trouble drawing this out. I’ll be editing it more later so drawing itself is still a work in progress.

Hasta la proxima,

Strawhats At The Beach

I decided to work on the Nami painting again. But I felt she was too lonely so aside from reworking her and the background I decided to add the other (official) female members of the Strawhats. For some reason I was having trouble with the colors for Robin and Vivi’s hair.

Hasta la proxima,
