Inktober 2023 Day 3 Psychics Saiki, Anya, Kanaka

Although I have heard of it before, I started watching Saiki K. It’s just as funny as he described it. The amount of gags deployed in one episode is incredible. This influenced today’s drawing made up of psychic users who can use telepathy. Although I just realized there was someone else I could have included amongst the group, Yakumo Tsukamoto. Perhaps that will be a future drawing for this inktober.

On another note, I want an official translation of Kanakana, a group fan translated 3 chapters but there hasn’t been an update despite that manga still being active.

Crescent Moon Background

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.

Inktober 2023 Day 01 Karin Maaka

October and Inktober has arrived once again. I have some ideas of what I want to try drawing this year, but as for what the first drawing would be I couldn’t really come up with an idea. Looking through my references and trying to find this cosplayer that I forgot the name of, I came upon another account that reminded me of Karin from Karin or as we know it here in the states, Chibi Vampire. I really want to re read the series this month. It’s been a while since I have done traditional work. But when it comes to drawing, it definitely is much more natural and easier for me to do it traditionally. I wanted to use some hatching on this drawing but I forgot that my maru pen worked really poorly with the paper I used. I’ll have to have that in mind for future drawings.

If you haven’t read Karin, do check it out. I highly recommend it.

Hasta mañana,

Kana Arima Cafe Visit

I watched Oshi no Ko quite a few weeks ago. I loved it. By far my favorite character is Kana. I really want to make make more paintings of her.

The weather is finally starting to change and so are the colors, even if ever so slightly where I live. I wanted to portray a cozy atmosphere with this painting. Thus the colors and location I chose.

In terms of the painting I liked playing with different lighting colors that happened due to the light sources coming from all around her. Lately I have been debating whether to keep the big anime eyes, or making them more realistic. Personally I like both but often do wonder if my art style works better with more realistic proportions.

The window looked a bit too simple and empty so I decided to use the skill I learned from painting Momochi a while ago and add some raindrops. I think it’s a nice touch.

By the end I decided to make the painting into a sequence.

Here is the process:

Android 18 sitting on the floor

Surprisingly, I have amassed a good number of paintings that are ready to be uploaded. But I think it’s best to have too many rather than falling behind. Although I should start working on paintings that take place in Autumn and Halloween before October ends up passing me by. Specially since I will participate in Inktober again this year.

This idea of Android 18 has finally been brought to completion. It was sitting on my do list for at least 1 or 2 years. Painting with red hues and still having her stand out properly was somehow a bit tricky. But I learned a few things doing this painting. I wonder how I will end up going about it next time I work with these hues.

Strawhats in Mexico

Attached will also be the process:

This painting is quite rough as it was a spur of the moment to celebrate Mexico’s Independence and the fact that Luffy is Mexican in the live action One Piece. Couple that with Luffy representing freedom and I think this quite fits.

I was planning to just have Luffy and Nami due to the lack of time today. But as a placeholder I titled it “Strawhats in Mexico” and the painting itself looked quite empty as well. So I ended up cramming as many of the Strawhats as I could. Sadly I didn’t have enough room for Jinbei.

You know, Robin was actually dressed like a singer of Grupero music when she was Miss All Sunday. So I thought I would bring that back.

Hope you guys have a great day and weekend.
