"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
Line art originally done for inktober 2022 day 5.
I’ll be trying out different painting styles with this year’s batch of line art. The background is of a photo I took of a catholic building back in the day and used the screen tone filter. Just trying something new (and didn’t feel like painting a background this time).

This is a study of Airi Suzuki. I want to do more artwork of her to celebrate her 20th anniversary. For this drawing I want to practice different coloring styles. For the line art, I went for thin lines which I liked how it looked when doing Inktober this year. The inking in the hair is too dark, it doesn’t give the image of it being a lighter brown. Perhaps I should just make lighter hatching. Perhaps at a later date.

Day 31, it’s over! I need a break… Inktober 2022 has truly been something. I felt a power up this year. I’m pretty sure I can do 3-4 drawings a day. Inking and painting of course not included. I wanted to make sure I inked today’s drawing, since it’s the last one. I’m not sure which drawing took longer to ink, Meimi’s or Yura’s.
I chose Yura because my brother finally gave Inuyasha a chance. When I saw Yura, a bunch of memories began flooding back. I used to have such a crush on her, sad she got killed right at the start.
I actually had another drawing ready of Angerme sketched out and ready to be inked. I had the bright idea to make three drawings today, but I guess I was a little burned out and wasn’t working fast enough. Yura was a last minute idea that I had to plan out, sketch and ink all in the same day.
Another year, another Inktobber fully completed. Till next year Inktober.

Day 30. Today is Meimi Tamura’s birthday! Well it was yesterday if we go by Japan time. To commemorate the occasion I drew Meimi. I have really been into her music lately. I really hope she continues to produce more music. In some of her Instagram posts she has been talking about fairies, thus today’s theme. I was short on time again, but I felt that it wouldn’t be good to upload the drawing as only the line art. So I pushed it rather close to midnight today in order to add line details and inking. There is a lot of detail so I hope that Meimi and the fairy are visible and stand out.
Happy birthday Meimi!

Day 29. We’re getting really close to the end of this year’s Inktober. Didn’t have much time today to ink it since I was still figuring out the outfits. I was thinking of having Misaka and Misaki in Halloween costumes. So at first I was thinking mosnters, but in the end I decided upon Red Ridinghood and Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

Day 28. Marin’s bunny girl costume and Gojo’s Bunny costume were a fun match. Gojo getting one step closer to accepting himself and getting over his past trauma was a nice step towards his development.
As for this drawing, in some of my references of Momochi I found some that had her with the same bunny costume that I thought would be fun to draw. That bunny costume has been a staple of Hello Project. I remember laughing every time the bunny appeared during the rollercoaster ad segments.

Day 27. Today’s drawing is of the Angerme collaboration with Sally the Witch. I haven’t seen the anime but I have seen the opening when I listened to a 90s anime opening playlist on Youtube. I started checking out Angerme’s music this year and was surprised to find out they sung the opening. It’s such a cute video. I could have drawn any member but decided to draw Kanon Fukuda. Her ending scene was super adorable.
I made two versions, one in my style and the other emulating the Sally anime.

Day 26. For today’s drawing, it’s Hermione Granger. When I was growing up I read all the books, but I have yet to see all the movies. I should probably do that when I get the chance.
I debated whether to hatch her sweater and skirt.

Day 25. I really love the mv for “Pop Music” by Juice=Juice. The homage to Matsuda Seiko was such a fun touch. Ever since it came out I wanted to make a art piece for it. In this instance I chose the album cover. Since I’m back from my trip I can start inking my drawings again.
Since Halloween is now fast approaching, I should make some themed drawing from here on out.

Day 18. Today I drew Rei Ayanami. I think I should make Rei’s (our right) )eye slightly smaller, some point in the future.

Day 17. Took me a while to come up with today’s subject but decided to draw 2B from a bottom up view. I wonder if it’s visible with with just the line art though. I think that aspect of my drawing won’t really show until I either ink/hatch it or paint it though. The skirt pattern design was a bit annoying but luckily I found a good reference that shows exactly how it looks. Well that and I can omit a lot of it through the ripples and 2B’s arm.

Day 16. As a matching drawing to yesterday’s, today I drew Sakura Kinomoto. I was debating on what outfit I would choose, the one from the anime opening, the bat one from volume 11 or the fallen angel outfit from the 2nd artbook.
