"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
This is actually a RE:do from 2022. I decided to re-paint not only Misaki but also the whole background. From there I then simplified my painting all over. This time I also decided to actually add in a sports bra this time. There were also other details I changed but you can compare it if interested. Here is the old version:

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.

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.

With a bit more experience I decided to give my K’ painting another try and fix areas that I felt needed work. I’ve also added a couple more details such as lights and steam. Pretty soon I will start working on some winter artwork. Shame I couldn’t fully enjoy this fall season.

I was planning to do some new paintings for this Halloween but time didn’t permit that sadly this year. But I did get a chance to at least RE:do Morrigan. Hopefully things will work out better next year.
Happy Halloween.

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:

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.

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.

Due to certain circumstances I’m falling a bit behind have art ready to be uploaded. But hopefully things get better soon. This painting I decided to work on today after I was done with other obligations.
This background is actually a RE:do of an old painted I made years ago. I think it looks much better now.

This is my second attempt at painting this painting of Misaki Shokuhou. Aside from giving it another try at painting her, I also made a few edits to her outfit using the anime as reference for her outfit. Overall, it looks much better now.
Here’s the old version (drawn originally in 2019 and painted in 2020):
Took me a while to learn, but for my style it’s best not to use the pen line art unless I’m using flat colors.

Finally got around to RE:do a painting that I was supposed to have worked on this summer. I’m almost done with the update, but I have to add to it finally.
Hasta la proxima,

Today’s upload is of sports stands. It has a lot of details so it took a while. Despite that, it is also simplistic with flat colors. Looking at the past attempt is crazy.
I’m falling a bit behind with new artwork, hopefully I have caught up with other obligations so I will finally have time to put more effort into art.
Hasta la proxima,
