"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
As I mentioned yesterday I recently finished re reading Cheeky Angel. It still holds up. Hopefully I can do some more drawings from that series. For today’s drawing I decided to choose Megumi Amatsuka in her birthday dress.

It is now finally time to upload my color painting of Meimi Tamura. I’m glad I waited on uploading it because I made a few touches today. I think it’s time to read books about color theory so that I don’t just rely on instinct. Like last time, I also want to edit a video of the process for this painting. I’ll probably do a short and eventually figure out what I want to do for the longer video.

Recently one of Meimi’s song became popular in TikTok. Hopefully this will bring in some new fans.
I still haven’t decided on how I will edit my videos but here is a short of the process for this painting.

WordPress was not working yesterday so this post is a day late.
I saw a video of Reina showing some behind the scenes of a photoshoot where she was firing a bazooka with confetti that I thought looked fun. I had started drawing this quite a while ago but I got a bit busy and was left unfinished. By the time I got back to it, we had already entered Autumn. Maybe that was for the best, because that gave me the idea to make it a leave bazooka. Helping bring in the Fall season. From what I had before I resumed working on it, I still hadn’t started working on the outfit that Reina was wearing. Which has more summer vibes. Again, I preferred the way the outfit looked like it was a black dress that I felt fit the fall season more.
Here is a screengrab of the references I used:
Here is the link to the original video:
It’s for LoVendoЯ’s music video Shoot! Baby, I love ya!

Check nevarkun out. Line art can be seen here:
So as to keep the line art visible and intact, I went for a simple painting style. I wanted it to be light.
Maybe I should collaborate more with people… maybe also start taking requests too.

I was having a hard time deciding what to do with the background for this piece. After a couple of failed attempts I played around with a cloud background inspired by the official summer artwork by Tatsuya Endo. Although that was only as a placeholder for the painting process of Yor, I ended up liking it. But it felt empty so I decided to add something else. In the end I ended up painting the city hall building. Manga or anime only showcased one angle of the building though, but luckily it was enough to make out most of the features. Though most of it ended up being covered by Yor. Pretty much all of the painting was done with Toko Suzuki’s brushes.

I just recently started reading Spy Family. It’s great, no wonder I have been seeing it everywhere.
For my first drawing of Spy Family I chose Yor.
I used this photo for the pose reference ( @komoshuai ):

For the painting of Miyabi in her maid outfit I used a couple of references for the pose, one of them happened to be of Miyabi in her outfit for the Hello Project Winter 2019 Concert. I really loved the pose, the dress and the crown working together to make Miyabi look so beautiful. This time I wanted to hatch and cross hatch. The line art itself was done with my g pen and the hatching was done with my maru pen.

I recently talked about how my monitors were not calibrated correctly so my colors and values were off. I’m going back and trying to fix some of the previous paintings I have done. Miyabi dressed as a maid is of course one of those paintings.

This painting is done using the line art I made for this year’s inktober day 2. I didn’t really have a plan for how this painting would go but I eventually decided on setting it in twighlight and basing the color scheme through that. It felt a bit lonely with just the sky though, so I eventually started adding clouds and at some point some trees which are based on their home.
What would a date with Goku be? Would it just be like that episode where Homer from the Simpsons gets kicked out of the restaurant for eating all the food? I feel sorry for ChiChi.

I just had to paint Miya in her maid outfit with the nostalgic Buono! pose. I couldn’t find the whole outfit look from the waist down so I had to make it up.
