Inktober 2024 Day 04

It’s day 4, I wasn’t too happy with yesterday’s hatching so I was a bit worried for today’s drawing. I decided to draw my own prompt today. I have started watching Omusubi, an NHK drama. The only reason I knew about it was because of Meimi Tamura. I was a bit worried that her role would be limited but luckily she has been a prominent supporting character. I hope it stays that way because her character has been hilarious. I hope this opens more roles for her. Though I selfishly want to hear new songs from her as well.

This time I went for simpler hatching which I’ve noticed works better. I’m also playing around more with what gets more details and what areas would benefit from empty spaces.

Hasta la proxima,

Inktober 2024 Day 03 Boots

Had some ideas of what to draw today but decided to just draw the Alien boots. Something nice and simple isn’t so bad every once in a while.

Inktober 2024 Day 02 Kiki

This time I decided to draw something outside of the prompts. I wanted to work with hatching. For today’s subject I chose Kiki. Now that I think about it, I draw Kiki a every Inktober. To be fair, I saw a really cute reference picture that gave me ideas. I contemplated whether to draw the actual reference photo or modify it and turn her into Kiki. When I finally decided I also recreated the pose in clip studio to also see how the body would look. By chance the hand gestures also changed as I was posing but I really like it so I kept it. Can’t believe how useful the 3d models are. Now I’m contemplating buying the figma pose figures…

There is this artist named matayoshi that I want to learn from. The hatching is so simple and yet so beautiful.

Here is the artist:

On another note, I wanted to use bristol paper (the one I mentioned yesterday) but when I was looking at my old bristol book I noticed I only had a few papers left. But I also discovered an old drawing book by Strathmore that had a good number of pages left. Even more since I tend to cut them up into even smaller pieces. I felt that it was better quality then the other paper I used yesterday and gave it a try. And sure enough it didn’t have the same problem of my maru pen cutting the fibers… Who knew I had the solution to this problem all along. I should buy more of this paper when I get the chance.

Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama

My brother first told me about the passing of Akira Toriyama yesterday. I didn’t have time to process that till I came back from my other job today. Seeing videos of other Dragon Ball fans around the world and also listening to Oda Eichiro’s words regarding his passing seriously made me tear up. He is a great inspiration both in art and also in what I believe to be his best and most influential story, the original Dragon Ball. It is one of those series that I love going back to. Both to re read and also to learn through his art style. Akira Toriyama and Goku are both inspirational to me and have seriously helped push me forward in hard times throughout life. I remember making friends and having lots of fun talking about Dragon Ball, or pretending to be characters from the series.

This last Christmas my brothers gifted me the manga box set of Dragon Ball and it almost made me tear up in front of my family. I will always remember the happiness and inspiration that Akira has brought me and the world.

Thank you for everything. Rest in power Akira Toriyama.

Hasta la proxima,

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,

It’s getting really hot where I live… I can’t wait for summer to finally be over and enter my favorite season.

In the mean time, here is an update to my Android 18 drawing. Here she is inked.

Reference of model Yih Shin.

I have had this idea for a couple of years and now , I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to finally draw it. This will also be inked and painted. But that will be uploaded at a later date.

Tomoyo Harada Toshiba Sugar Line Art

Line Art
Reference ad rough upscale
rough draft

Here is a some line art of Tomoyo Harada holding a Toshiba Sugar RT-SW7 boom box. I used a magazine advert as reference. I can’t believe it, but this might be my first time drawing her. Strange because I have so many pieces I had planned for a couple of years now.

Simone de Beauvoir ReDo

Originally painted back in 2020 I didn’t quite like the way it looked. This time around I took off the line art and painted over the original piece until I was satisfied. Also, unlike the original I flattened all layers except two (the background and Simone).

Hasta la proxima,

Virtuous Contract 2B

It’s funny, now that my skills have gotten a bit better I have been going back to old art pieces and see what I can do with them now. And in Pixiv there is currently a contest where they want us to upload redo’s of old artwork to showcase one’s growth. Somehow this all came together at the same time. I’ll be uploading some more artwork throughout April.

Working with blues is still a bit tough for me so I want to do some more later this year.

As for this art piece, I edited the line art to change the proportions and angles. Once I had that edited I came up with the background so I could come up with the color theme of 2B.

I felt it would be a shame if I didn’t have a version without her blindfold.

Hasta la proxima,
