How to Draw Challenge: The Fifth – Yuka-Pon

I had stumbled upon Yuka-Pon a while ago and could not help thinking, “She’s Cute”… I was thinking of making a drawing of her but because I had a lot of requests in my old account I was not able to do so. Luckily for me a contest of who could draw her best emerged. I chose to do this drawing because since it is a Valentines day theme, I sort of pictured her picking out her one and only out of a crowd of fans and admirers. Although I had a bit of a hard time capturing her beauty along the way for some reason. This drawing took me an unprecedented  three hours. Usually it takes me about an hour or less. Nevertheless I had a lot of fun drawing her and really enjoyed my time. I hope to draw her again someday.

You can find her youtube page here: http://www.youtube.com/user/NyappyChocoChan?feature=g-user-f

For this video I recommend listening to: “Strobo Night”.

Hope you enjoy it,

How to Draw Challenge: The Fourth – Kairi (real life)

So why Kairi from Kingdom Hearts? Well aside from having an urge to draw her in a while already, some other reasons popped up. As many of you may know already, the next installment of Kingdom Hearts is making it’s appearance this year. And my webpage has been getting quite a couple of hits because of some of my Kairi drawings. So what better excuse to draw her do I have?

To make things interesting I decided to draw her realistically. Sure her cgi form is not too far off but it is still not quite there yet. So to make this possible I have decided to use two references for this project.

This famous scence at the end of Kingdom Hearts II:

For this video I recommend listening to “Kairi I”, “Kairi II” and “Kairi III” from the Kingdom Hearts OST.

How to Draw Challenge: The Third – Mio Akiyama

Today I am posting a video from my old account, the subject… Mio Akiyama from K-On. She is probably the cutest girl of the series and is pretty cool too. I really enjoyed watching her grow in the anime. Truthfully that hairstyle is just way too appealing, it should be illegal (thankfully it is not). What’s funny is that although she preffered to only be back up for the band she seemed to really have an affinity to be center stage and lead. I really hope to draw a new drawing of Mio in the near future.

For this video I recommend listening to K-On’s opening theme “Don’t Say Lazy”

Hope you enjoy it,

How to Draw Challenge: The First – Kamei Eri

This is the very first video of the year. I seriously wanted to post this on the very first day of the year but in the end I could not so so. Reason being that I had to take some time to think things through before making any new videos. Since most of my old videos were destroyed I will be posting up my favourite ones as well as new ones of course.

Like my very first video on this channel it will have commentary to better engage the viewers. Right now it is mostly intruction, but I think it might be good to talk a bit about what I felt as I drew and any other thoughts that might have passed through my mind at those moments. I want to integrate my voice into the videos but I will wait until I have the right equipment so that it looks and sounds good.

I have decided to use only one song from now on for my videos (at least for now), I truly hope you guys do not mind. Aside from that I will also give some recommendations on what music I think would go best with the pieces that I am working on. In this case I believe that  Morning Musume’s – “Onna ni Sachi Are” would fit quite well with this drawing.

Kamei Eri is definitely one of my favourite Morning Musume members. There is something about her expressions that make her really interesting, not to mention how cute she is. It was really sad to see her go.

Hope you enjoy it,

New Beginning – XERO

So I have decided to post the first video to try and get some feedback on how to make sure it isn’t too simple since it will no longer have any music. Hopefully you guys can help me in making them entertaining enough so that no one gets bored when watching them. I have placed two options on the video being adding subtitles or doing a voice over explaining the process. Even if it doesn’t have any music you can all just play your favorite in the background as you watch making it more personalized for each of you.

I truly hope you guys enjoy the new channel which will have it’s first drawing video on Saturday.

Now then until next time, today’s my birthday so will have to keep this short.

President

I have been named as the President of the very first Art Club for my university. Because my school is only foucused on business, an art club never existed before, so this will be the first of it’s kind. We have decided on our very first objective as well. We are planning on making an Art Gallery + Fashion show, I’m sure if we put all our effort into it, it will definitely be a success. Not only will we be making publicity for the school but also make a name for ourselves and make a bit of money out of it as well.

On another note, the school is also making a competion to see who can create the school’s mascot. The theme is a Samurai wich is really cool. Wish me luck.
