Another Year of Life 2025

My head is currently fried and I also had limited time today so I only had time to get the rough draft and line art done today. Who knows if I will finish this piece. Who knows, I might make it a two part piece that I could hopefully get the chance to finish next year…

Hope you guys had a good one.

Feliz Dia de los Muertos.

Inktober 2025 day 29 Mami Tomoe

I was worried because I’m running on fumes and started late. Luckily I eventually decided to draw Mami and that got the ball rolling. I was contemplating not even inking the drawing but I’m glad I ended up doing it. I’m surprised I haven’t drawn more of Mami since I really like her character.

Inktober 2025 day 27 Sayumi Michishige

Working on the knit sweater sure took some time… I decided to try out different designs only to just outline it with a brush pen. This time I decided to try out my dip pens with the paper meant for ink that I mentioned yesterday. And sure enough, using the paper that is meant for you know. What it’s meant for, actually works. It not only resists getting it’s fibers cut, but it also doesn’t absorb as much ink as other papers. I’ll have to play around with it more. But so far I’m liking this Canson Pen & Ink paper.

Although I like how this drawing of Sayumi came out overall, It’s just a shame that I wasn’t used to the Pentel ink brush pens (which I decided to finally try out). I have a shorter wider brush and a slightly longer but thinner brush that I learned I like best, just too late. Seems like the wider brush is to cover wider areas, but I need the versatility of the thinner brush for my style. But now I know.

Inktober 2025 day 26 Karin Miyamoto

I was running out of paper so I bought some new one that was made specifically for ink and pens. I decided to try it out for todays drawing. The paper is quite smooth, I like it. When I get the chance I want to really try it out with my dip pens. On other papers it would cut the fibers and lift them up, so I wonder if that problem will not occur with this paper.

This time it’s a study of Karin Miyamoto using a photo from her instagram.

Hasta la proxima,

Inktober 2025 day 25 Cliff Castle

Was really tired today so I just rough sketched a mountain on a cliff using the brush pen. The cliff castle looked lonely so I decided to add a moon and the mountains behind.

Inktober 2025 day 23 Momochi

Was really short on time today and I decided to also draw in a sofa with a lot of details… As much as I would have liked to hatch and ink the drawing, I’d rather take my time at a later date instead of rushing through it. Sadly I messed up Momochi’s left eye (on our right) so I had to edit it with the Posca marker. For some reason my thinner pen (Pentel Energel) wasn’t working so I had to draw it all with the R-2 Precision pen. Luckily it’s possible to control the thickness with pressure. It was really fun drawing Momochi again.

Hasta la proxima,
