After months of not painting my Yamucha drawing here it is. This time I decided to go with flat style.

I’ve been leaving this Yamucha drawing in the back burner for a long time. Perhaps next time I will also paint it.

I had the idea of drawing the Dungeon Meshi crew but I would have a good bit of time to actually do a good job. I’m still currently planning it out. But then I remembered that one time that Goku had to travel the whole world by foot. Using the 3d model really helped me visualize so easily what I wanted.

Looking at past works, I really wanted to give “Bulma’s Delivery Service” another try. It was so close and yet was still in a very rough state. Some areas were tilted and the background painting was also in need of another attempt with my current skills. I loved working on this painting again. The original artist for the Kiki’s poster is amazing.

To me, one of the most influential pieces of media since I was a kid was Dragon Ball (specifically the original Dragon Ball). Even now I love going back to both the manga and the anime. It always lifts my spirits and inspires me in the sense of wonder, spirit/motivation and also as an artist. It’s always great meeting others with like interests. And I could see all the influences of pop culture that I also enjoy. This being popular action movies from Hollywood (such as Terminator, Alien). But my interest has always been Hong Kong martial arts movies, specially those by Jackie Chan. Seeing homages to that was always a great treat, making enjoying Dragon Ball even more fun. Akira Toriyama’s legacy will always live on and will continue to influence more people in the times to come. Thank you for guiding us in this amazing adventure.

Original line art was drawn for Inktober 2022 day 04. I wanted to try drawing Goku in a different style with some slightly softer hair. I prefer the black and orange combination so I used blue for the sneakers only. The outfit I feel would be great for both working out and wearing casually so I could see another iteration of Goku wearing this outfit instead of his Kame outfit.
The original line art was cut off from the bottom and the top so I resized it and drew the missing sections.

It’s weird, drawing is way slower digitally for me. For some reason this drawing took a long time to make and then clean up… Perhaps for line art I should just draw traditionally from now on and digitize afterword.
This is a follow-up to the drawing I made of Goku also parodying Aliens.
It can be seen here:
I feel like redoing it at some point.
As for this drawing, I was thinking of following the reference photo but in the end thought that would be boring. So I changed it to make Goku prepared to fight. I originally had him wearing his Kame uniform, but decided to use Newt’s outfit instead. As I was looking through the movie I noticed that the gun in the poster was probably a prototype prop before they settled on the actual guns or something. That’s when I had to come to the realization that I would have to change that as well. Luckily I managed to find good reference models online. I was thinking of adding the dual gun setup but for now I settled with only the M240 Incinerator Unit. I don’t know why, but that took a while. I seriously need to learn what the method to draw straight lines is digitally because doing it by hand has me redoing lines over and over. Next time I should also trace over the completed line art because going in and cleaning it takes way too long…

Day 11. This time I chose to draw kid Goku. Yesterday’s pixiv theme was winking, hence today’s drawing. I made a version that felt off, so last minute I decided to redraw it again with different proportions. It’s amazing how such small changes can make a drawing look good or somehow off. I was thinking of adding Roshi’s sunglasses but that would have covered most of Goku’s face. I might give that a try at some point in the future.

For day 4 I have decided to draw Goku. There was the meme of Goku in his drip which I thought was hilarious. I could care less of the Supreme brand, but what was fun about Toriyama was that artwork often showcased the Dragon Ball characters in trendy outfits. I always loved seeing Goku in different outfits. I think the most recent example in current Dragon Ball was the snow outfit used in the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie.
This time I decided to make Goku’s hair slightly less triangular, I guess making it somewhat soft. I also wanted to try out a different eye design. I finally got the chance to hatch for this drawing. But maybe I should play around with thinner lines next time I do a simple hatching technique.

Yeah, it’s no wonder Vegeta became a good guy and hasn’t gone back.
