Can’t believe I’ve had this drawing waiting since July. Whenever I get the chance to paint it, I will go for a flat style.

Minako Honda Aurex Line Art
I didn’t quite like the feel of the original rough draft so I decided to just redo the whole drawing and changed a lot of the proportions.

Yoriko Dôguchi Flowing Wind
Still haven’t seen the movie but the love the aesthetics. This time I decided to go with flat colors. Despite that, I’m still rather slow. I think I now understand why anime has all those different line art colors used for painting and shading. I was thinking of adding some lighting and static but oh well.

Naoko Kawai and Coffee
After being left in my upload folder for a couple of weeks, it is finally time to upload this painting. Although I’m glad it took this long because as I was getting ready to upload I noticed that the cup was a bit wonky in the opening. After fixing that I felt it was a good enough time to add some steam to the cup. After a long while, this time I decided to paint it in an 80s anime style.
Here is the process,

Tomoyo Harada Toshiba Sugar Inked
Here is an inked version of my drawing of Tomoyo Harada holding a Toshiba Sugar Boombox. I inked it with my g pen and a brush.

Tomoyo Harada Toshiba Sugar Line Art
Here is a some line art of Tomoyo Harada holding a Toshiba Sugar RT-SW7 boom box. I used a magazine advert as reference. I can’t believe it, but this might be my first time drawing her. Strange because I have so many pieces I had planned for a couple of years now.

Revenge is Fun
I recently saw this insane edutainment video that was released back in 1989 named “How to Get… Revenge!” with Linda Blair (the lady from “The Exorcist”). It’s crazy. Wonder if anyone was evil enough to follow their suggestions? What made it even more surreal was Linda’s fun attitude throughout the whole video.

Kinku Akina Nakamori COLOR
Here’s Akina’s painting but in color this time. Decided to go with a red theme this time. Looking at it now, it might look cool with some font displaying the name of the song (Kinku).

Kinku Akina Nakamori Screen tone
It would be a shame if I didn’t do more with this drawing. So decided to keep practicing with screen tone. The screen tone gives a new look for sure. I like both versions though. A simple black and white just looks so clean and pops. Adding screen tone though allows one to add more depth and transition between values. So if used correctly it can really enhance a drawing.

Inktober 2022 08 Naoko Kawai
It is day 8th. Today’s drawing is of Naoko Kawai, my favorite 80s idol, And that’s saying something because there are so many idols I love. I think I now am understanding the style that I may be setting on. Looking back at the last Naoko drawing I made, I didn’t quite like they way it looks. This though, I think is more my style.

Kimono Muscle Girl drawing 2
It’s been a while since I last worked and uploaded one of the three drawings (inked) of Michiko Nishiwaki from the movie My Lucky Stars. Once I learned how inking works, I can just jump in and draw without much thought. Even more so doing it digitally since I can undo any sections that I don’t think quite work. It’s actually quite therapeutic.

Line arts can be seen here:
The first of those drawings has been inked. I did this digitally using Clip Studio. Now that I have used Clip Studio a bit more, it is quite intuitive.
