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.

Hasta la proxima,

Inktober 2024 Day 11

Limited time today again so I decided to do another portrait today, but in exchange I decided to add more details. I had the option to either hatch or ink. And although inking has it’s appeal I decided to go with hatching. When it comes to hair, following the contours just looks better. But on the flip side it takes a while to do. And when working with dip pens, one has the danger of spacing out and smearing the ink. But it’s so worth it.

Looking back at past ink drawings such as my previous attempts at drawing Sayumi Michishige, I have improved quite a bit. I always feel a power up every Inktober.

Sayu-Mask

Despite the end of last year being quite dry, the start of this year has given us quite a bit of snow. I quite like the athmosphere this creates which is why I decided to use it for the painting this time around. The line art was done for Inktober 2021 day 27 which can be seen here:

Inktober 2021 Day 27

The model for this painting is Sayumi Michishige. I really love the outfit and colors. I debated on how I wanted Sayu’s colors to be overall. Light and faded, or darker, affected by the scenery. I opted for the darker route.

Reference photo of Sayu can be seen here (7th Photo):

Sayumi Temple Visit 2022

This drawing is based on the photo of Sayumi visiting the temple this year.

Assuming I translated it correctly, this was for a January photoshoot. Having drawn a fortune during this shoot, she drew “Daikishi” (Super Good Luck). I really do wish her the best. I’m also really enjoying her Uruma city videos. I hope more cities invite her to be showcased.

You can see them here:

Sayumi 2nd Microsoft Surface Pro 5

I’ve been wanting to paint Sayu in this outfit ever since it was uploaded. She kind of reminds me of a Team Rocket member.

This is the second Microsoft Surface Pro 5 painting. This time around working with the surface felt a lot smoother. The next test will consist of me working in portrait mode. I know it works since I tried to see what would happen if I tilted the whole screen, although it did make Corel crash… I’ll have to play with it a bit more.

Hasta la proxima,

Inktober 2021 Day 27

The recent photos that Sayu has been uploading are extremely beautiful. Many of them really capture the fall season (there’s so many I want to work with). I quite like the ones where she is sporting a cute mask. The pairing with the newsboy cap is a nice touch.

Here’s the reference used (the 7th photo):

I was going to add some hatching to mark the darker areas and the patterns in the mask. But time was quite limited today so that will have to be another time.

Sayumi Michishige Glancing Right Painted

Link to the line art post: https://darkcloudxero.com/2021/04/07/sayumi-michishige-glancing-right-line-art/

This is the colored version of my Sayu drawing done with Copics. It was painted with Corel Painter and then used the layer styles from PhotoShop. Each style changes different aspects of the painting when it interacts with the line art and the painting layer. I think each one has it’s appeal. Soft light gave it a pastel look which I really liked. Because the copic ink doesn’t completely cover the texture of the paper and it also doesn’t always completely cover an area (there are some patches that are lighter), these can give interesting effects when painted digitally and played with the layer options. This can be affected even further when playing with the layer transparency.

Sayumi Michishige Glancing Right Line Art

It’s always fun when I draw Sayu. Recently she cut her hair down so I really want to do another piece with her new hair style.

I wanted to work with my Copic for the line art step. I have done this before and really like the effect that I can get out of it when I paint it digitally. Sadly it seems like my copic tips are getting worn out, they have this gummy feel to them now. I guess I’ll have to replace them soon.

Hasta la proxima,

Racer Sayumi Honda CR-X

Right now I’m in a Hello Project art mood, I can’t help but want to draw the members whenever I want to try out a new style. But I figured I should try to draw some new subjects, so I was looking through my reference folders and decided on drawing a Honda CR-X which I quite like. Once I had the line art done I decided to try out a new shading style which consists of just laying it down with parallel lines. I quite liked the aesthetic of this style. But once I was done I wasn’t too sure what else I should do with it.
Then I started thinking about maybe implementing someone in front of the car. Then it hit me, I could use that Sayu picture I drew where she has short hair. Once I cleaned up the background I resized Sayu so that she would fit the size of the CR-X and well… I really love the way it came out. I guess things were just meant to be. Somehow that short hair and hat make her fit that racer look.

Hasta la proxima,
