"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
Today is Meimi’s birthday so I wanted to draw her. Her making her solo show available during her birthday is great. That gave me the idea to draw her from a scene in the show. It was hard to choose though since she looked cute throughout it all.

A while back Meimi had this cute hairstyle that I wanted to try drawing and painting. This time I went for a mixture of my style but also a flat anime style. I need to play with this style more.

The new year has started. Although last year sucked, I have hope that this year can be better. Let’s overcome things. Despite my gloomy appearance I am somehow an optimist. I keep falling but I will continue to get up and keep going if I think things are worth doing. Let’s keep fighting and make this year a great one. Hoping for the best for all of you.
On another note, I accomplished my goal of uploading every week last year. Hopefully I can continue to do so this year as well.

This is the background for a piece I have ready for Halloween. I want to make more since I am always late in working on seasonal themes.

For my my first Painting using my XP-Pen Pro 24 I decided to do a study painting of Airi Suzuki in a summer dress and straw hat. I was a bit intimidated because of all the details on the hat and the dress. But once I started I just got in the groove.
I just recently upgraded my drawing monitor from a 16 inch one to a 24 inch one. My plan was to wait for next year but there was a used one for a good price so I decided to take the plunge. I was surprised by how huge it was. I had to change my set up again since I don’t have the space for the old monitor arm I was using with my 16 inch set up. So far I am loving being able to see so much of the canvas as I work and being able to work on more of it as once. Now I have to move the painting less. The only downside is that the pen has this annoying problem when I’m resizing the brush that my previous 16 inch monitor did not have. I guess all that marketing about having a smarter chip in the pen was not all for show. I wonder if they will ever update the pen to this monitor. I will update how it holds up as I use it more.

Almost ran out of time today to post an update. Here is the background for the 2B drawing I recently edited.

This time I opted to cover up my line art with colors that correspond to each section of the painting. I like it. This will be something I should just do from now on. I specially liked how I could blend better because of it. This was a great advantage when I was working with Momochi’s eyes and lips.
I’ve been quite busy lately with other things so I haven’t been drawing or painting as much. Hopefully I can get in the flow again soon. On another note, I noticed that Pixiv restarted my weekly upload combo. I guess it resets after the new year. Had I known that I would have taken note of it. But I guess if I do an uninterrupted combo this year I should be able to beat last years personal record.

For today’s art piece I decided to give a past painting another try. Today I repainted Chizuru Kagura which I originally did on December 2021.
It can be seen here:
… Yeah, this drawing definitely needed a makeover. I removed the line art and instead softened the lines I painted. The eyes I resized and also softened Chizuru’s eyelashes.

One of the great things about inktober is that I get to a lot of line art that I can paint. I have lots to choose from, but lets start with Mokocchi sporting her makeover done by Asuka when they first interacted.
