"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
I’ve worked with some reflective ground surfaces before, but this time I wanted to do one where you could see the ripples and the reflections. It would be cool to try and paint in the reflection of someone instead of the actual character, well except the shoes.

It’s strange going back to Corel Painter. One of the things that Corel Painter just can’t do as well as Krita is the blender. But being able to work with only one brush is amazing.
This background will be for a future piece. I wonder if any of you know what scene I’m depicting. I’m currently re-reading the series so I can have a better experience with the newer chapters.
I’m still not too conviced with the clouds so I might retouch them at a later date. Currently I’m working on the subjects, there are a couple of them so it’s taking a while for the rough drafts.

I can finally draw again. For now here’s a rough draft. For now it’s the main idea.

It is the end of Spring. This will be the final Spring painting for this year. Since the last time I uploaded the background, I decided that it just didn’t look right. It became super apparent when I added Shiro. This time I decided to go for a flat anime style.

This background is a bit rough but I don’t need it to be too detailed once I put in the subjects.

There is an illustrator by the name of fjsmu (ふじしむ) that uses some beautiful colors for his paintings. I wanted to give it a try. I believe it uses the concept of color theory. It really makes it pop. I will try to keep this in mind for future paintings.

I’ve seen other artists painting eyes and lips. It not only looks really aesthetically pleasing but it also seems like a nice way to practice. I’ll probably be doing more. It was rather relaxing and felt like learned a bit.

I’ve been re-reading One Piece. And I’m enjoying it more as an adult than when I was a kid. What’s amazing is that as the series goes on, it just gets better and better. This also goes with the emotional parts of the story. I forgot just how tough Robin’s life was growing up. Oda did a great job of making us understand why Robin would do her best to distance herself from the Straw hats during this arc. Truly a great character and addition to the crew.

Started rereading a certain series. Those who know, know regarding this scene.

Here is the background for another one of my RE:do paintings. Recently I started implementing a new technique into my paintings. I’m surprised it took me this long to do so though. I’ll speak more about that later. Perhaps adding more details to the sand would’ve added something more to the painting, but with the subject as the focal point that may not be necessary.

Here is the Colored version of my Airi Rescue illustration. I’m uploading two versions. The second version has some static added to it to replicate the quality of a magazine print. One things I like in old anime are the glow effects they do with beams, so I wanted to incorporate that in this illustration. Adding some outer glow to the beam and adding some noise to the glow gave it a cool effect.
I want to convert this drawing to an anime frame at some point. You know, like those mid point frames when the anime had to go to commercials.
