This time I decided to draw something outside of the prompts. I wanted to work with hatching. For today’s subject I chose Kiki. Now that I think about it, I draw Kiki a every Inktober. To be fair, I saw a really cute reference picture that gave me ideas. I contemplated whether to draw the actual reference photo or modify it and turn her into Kiki. When I finally decided I also recreated the pose in clip studio to also see how the body would look. By chance the hand gestures also changed as I was posing but I really like it so I kept it. Can’t believe how useful the 3d models are. Now I’m contemplating buying the figma pose figures…

There is this artist named matayoshi that I want to learn from. The hatching is so simple and yet so beautiful.

Here is the artist:

On another note, I wanted to use bristol paper (the one I mentioned yesterday) but when I was looking at my old bristol book I noticed I only had a few papers left. But I also discovered an old drawing book by Strathmore that had a good number of pages left. Even more since I tend to cut them up into even smaller pieces. I felt that it was better quality then the other paper I used yesterday and gave it a try. And sure enough it didn’t have the same problem of my maru pen cutting the fibers… Who knew I had the solution to this problem all along. I should buy more of this paper when I get the chance.

Hasta la proxima,
