Airi Suzuki Color pencil

The plan was to try out the other color pencil set I had but the colors weren’t right for the drawing I decided to do. But my Prismacolor set did have the right colors so I decided to use those instead. I was surprised at how amazing they were. I was having a lot of problems with them back in the day I remember, but I guess that was just my inexperience. Having said that, I’m nowhere near as good as the artists that specialize in color pencils. I was recently looking at the artwork of michaelfreemanpastelartist. He specializes in using pastel pencils it seems, and his art is photo realistic. It’s really amazing. I guess if I practice for a bit I should be able to improve a great deal my self, but my plan is to focus more on watercolors when it comes to traditional art. Instead I will use my color pencils as support. This has been the plan for a good bit, but I’ve never really used them together before. Maybe I’ll make that my next project.

Hasta la proxima,

New artwork and Disappearance Explained

Sorry, sorry. I was going to work on some Christmas and Winter stuff, but quite a couple of things piled on. Though this was my fault. I should have been working on some Christmas artwork a couple of weeks before anyway. So that is what will happen next year.

As for this drawing? Well one of the things I was working on last week was this piece for a client. The first official client after deciding to go pro. I got a couple of clients the years before, but again, this is the first official client. I will keep producing some more quality artwork to bring in more people interested in my services. For my first commission I have Katara from Avatar the Last Airbender. As stated before, I ran out of my Copics (well, at least the most important colors). So I used watercolors this time. After applying the color pencils on top I managed to make the drawing even more vibrant. As for Katara’s pose, I haven’t seen Avatar despite my brother and all my friends telling me to check it out. But since she is a waterbender and water is usually depicted as fluid, I’m guessing that they use a version of Tai Chi so I went with one of their forms. As for the water she is bending, I wanted there to be some contrast between Katara and the water. I wanted Katara to appear calm and collected, while the water was turbulent and fierce, ready to destroy anything in it’s path.

What do you guys think? (I’ll start working on the next artwork now)

EVA-01: “Berserk -EMERGENCY”

I’m finally done with this piece. Man did this take a long time. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to to with this drawing. But overall I’m quite content with the way it came out. I sure am tired though… Anyway here it is. I have some other artwork I can work with, I’ll let you know tomorrow.

I’m thinking of adding two versions, one without a background and one with.

What do you guys think?

I finally managed to finish my Hatsune Miku drawing. So this is what I manged to do with it.

So if you remember this is where we last left off.

And this is how it looks when I added a some Color pencils, as promised I will add more pictures showcasing the process.

The first one has some color pencil added to the background and a bit on Hatsune Miku. On the second one I added a bit more color to Miku’s skin and added a couple of light effects coming from the sun. I was surprised at how easy I was able to pull it off, the rainbow glare effects came out quite well. Also, I added some lighting to Miku’s eyes and some glowing effects around Miku’s body. One thing I did not like about how she looked before was her face. I didn’t really like some of the features so I decided to soften them and change a couple of things like her left eye. I feel she looks better now.

I wonder what name I should give this drawing? Anyway, what do you guys think?
