"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
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.

For today’s painting I decided to color a drawing I did for last year’s Inktober. I decided to go for a flat style which fits the era well. I made a few edits to the line art itself. Who knows if I’ll do it, but it would be fun to make the background snow move and make a gif out of this painting.

I saw this beautiful photo of a lantern lighting up a tree and snow that I wanted to try and paint. Perhaps in the future I might use it as a background but who knows.

I was thinking of what I should have done as my first art piece of the year. I was looking at some references from Oboro Muramasa and when I saw the food paintings I decided to do just that. In our household we make tamales for Christmas and New Years, usually accompanied with an egg and a coffee. I tried going off memory.
Things don’t look too promising but hopefully this isn’t too bad. Hope you guys have a good one.

Today is the final day of 2024. This year sucked and the coming years don’t seem very promising. But despite that I hope me and my family can overcome what ever comes our way.
Drawing is just a quick sketch that I then finished with Clip Studio. Hope I can put more effort on future art, we’ll see. I’m also planning to draw something for the first day of the year, but I guess that depends on how I feel.
Hasta la proxima,

In focusing on painting and trying to understand color I started neglecting form and proportions. So it’s time I go back to basics and start drawing again. I’ve notice I find it much easier and natural to do so traditionally. I’ve been feeling a bit off so hopefully I can get back in the groove soon.

I’m running a bit late with this painting. I was hoping to make two Christmas paintings, but oh well.
I was having a hard time on how I should decorate Gojo’s room. The idea was to have them both watching either some Christmas videos or planning their next costume. One thing I knew for sure is that I wanted some snowman so I added them on the window. In terms of the decorations I wanted them to be quickly put together as this would be a new thing for Gojo and Marin would most likely bring them for him. So I wanted it to be minimal. That in turn though made the room a bit barren so I decided to have some tea/coffee or hot chocolate cups present. It’s not much but it made it much cozier in my opinion.
As I was painting I was contemplating whether to have the monitor in front of them or not. It’d be a shame if I didn’t upload that version either since I spent quite a bit of time on it as well (especially Gojo’s sweater design).
Merry Christmas, hope you guys have a good one.

This will be the background for a future painting. There are certain details that I have yet to add. I also haven’t started painting the actual subjects but I do have a general idea of what I want. Hopefully it works out.

I’m currently working on a Christmas painting but time has been reduced a bit lately. So although I wanted to leave this painting for later I decided to finish it today. There were a few tweaks that I had to do last minute today to fit in more with Rin Shima’s gear. I had added some falling snowflakes but decided to omit it and only left some lit particles on the fire.
Hasta la proxima,
-NUBE.
