Here is my first piece of Luffy in his gear 5. Can you hear the drums of liberation? I liked the swirling eyes when he first transformed so I wanted to give it a try in this painting.

Gear 5
Inktober 2023 Day 12 Meimi Tamura
There are so many drawings I want to do with Meimi as the subject. Her photos are cute, aesthetic and have this art feel to them. For this ink drawing I decided to play around with hatching and linework, trying to minimize full inking where possible. And I’m glad I did so because it gave it a really nice look. My maru pen is finally listening to me and doing exactly what I want. Now I can blend in thinner and thicker lines as appropriate.
If you haven’t listened to Meimi’s music do give it a try. I really want her to continue singing.

Inktober 2023 Day 11 Perona
Growing up and reading Shoujou manga I always liked lolita and goth lolita fashion. So when Perona was introduced I really liked her and and her character design. I have been meaning to draw her at some point and a little over a decade later I finally did… Strange how things can just slip by.
For this drawing I used some tracing paper, it makes trying out things much easier when doing it traditionally.

Inktober 2023 Day 10 Madoka Kaname
We’ve made it to day 10. Today I drew Madoka. I drew and did the line art traditionally and then inked and hatched with Clip Studio Paint. Doing it digitally I can try out different ideas without having to start all over. The only other way I can think of doing it traditionally would be to buy transparent paper so I can preview how it will look like before I permanently add in ink.

Castle Interior background
This will be a background for a fun painting that I did on a whim.

Inktober 2023 Day 9 Airi Maid
Today was a bit hectic so no inking or hatching.
I’ve been wanting to draw Airi in her maid outfit for a while now, so today ended up being a good excuse to do so.

Inktober 2023 Day 8 Orca
I wanted to try hatching today. This is still rough, But with some planning and more experience, this style can work. As for the subject, I was reminded again of the Orcas that were sinking ships so I decided to draw one today.

Inktober 2023 Day 7 Marin Kitagawa
I’m currently drawing on small pieces of paper that are 6″ x 8″ . I kinda wanted some of the folds in Marin’s clothes to be thinner, but working with my current paper has trouble with my maru pen. It digs in and has trouble releasing the ink like I want it to, despite making the ink consistency just like I want it. I used my g pen to make certain areas thicker to try and give a contrast. But I think it only helped a little. Maybe I should use a higher quality paper to try working with the line thickness I can get with my maru pen.

Yor Berlint assasin RE-do
Last year I painted Yor, but I didn’t like the way it came out. Which is why I wanted to try it out again. It’s amazing how much my skill have increased in one year. Hopefully I keep getting even better.
You can se my first try here:

Inktober 2023 Day 6 Papa Meat Pumpkin Spice
Papa Meat is fast becoming one of my favorite youtube creators. His follow up to his pumpkin spice animation was hilarious.

Inktober 2023 Day 5 Kazuma Kiryu
Had limited time today. Due to that I used Clip Studio for this piece and only drew the line art.

Inktober 2023 Day 4 Luffy Knight
I liked the design and the curves of the suit of armor that Luffy briefly wears during “Thriller Bark”. Who wouldn’t be happy to wear it.
