Inktober 2024 Day 08 Hiking

For today’s theme I chose the eternal hiker Ryoga Hibiki.

It seems like the remake is finally releasing episodes. I’ll try to check it out tonight.

Hasta la proxima,

Inktober 2024 Day 07 Passport Xochitl

I originally had a different idea for today, but I thought it would be funny to have Xochitl with a passport with the picture of her Japanese disguise. Didn’t have the time to ink and hatch it in today though, but that’s fine I can take my time at a later date.

Hasta la proxima,

Inktober 2024 Day 06 Trek

I had the idea of drawing the Dungeon Meshi crew but I would have a good bit of time to actually do a good job. I’m still currently planning it out. But then I remembered that one time that Goku had to travel the whole world by foot. Using the 3d model really helped me visualize so easily what I wanted.

Inktober 2024 Day 05 Binoculars

I started re-watching Psych. Man I love this show. Funnily enough in the first episode they were using binoculars so I decided to draw one of the scenes. Everything is traditionally done but I messed up Gus’s skin by using a really dry Copic marker and in the wrong tone. Thinking back, it might have been better to use an ink wash. I was also contemplating just hatching it all out. but that would be an insane amount of lines to try out some of the ideas I had. So I had to make a choice, redraw it all and hatch it all again or just edit it digitally with Clip Studio Paint. I opted for doing it digitally. Although if I was smarter I should have played around with it digitally first before committing to just doing something irreversible. One other mishap was on Shawn’s hair where I was careless and rested my finger on some fresh ink. Hopefully I won’t be as tired tomorrow.

Hasta la proxima,

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.

Inktober 2023 Day 31 Haniel (Marin Kitagawa)

We made it, Today is the last day of Inktober 2023. And I have decide to finish it off with Marin Kitagawa cosplaying as Haniel the Archangel. The lore and aesthetics of Haniel are quite beautiful and also spooky for lack of a better word. The artist made a good job to convey that.

I was unsure how the hands and claws look, so I had to go with just long nails. My first plan was just to darken the background around Marin but that just looked too plain. And I wanted to extend beyond her ankles so I edited the bottom part and add to it. Marin was inked and hatched traditionally and everything else was done digitally.

Happy Halloween! May next year also allow me to participate again in Inktober.

Hasta el proximo año,

Inktober 2023 Day 30 Monster by the Window

Happy Birthday Meimi Tamura! Hope you have a great year.

This piece is based on the play Marigold in which Meimi Tamura plays the main role of Gerbera a Dhampir (a being born from a human and a vampire). It is quite a tragic and beautiful tale about a mother’s love. Meimi’s solo is absolutely beautiful and my favorite part of the play. If you get a chance do check it out. Luckily it was recorded and released in both dvd and blue ray. And some fans have created subtitles for the whole series it seems which is awesome for us international fans.

The whole drawing has been done both traditionally (the line art) and digitally (inking, hatching and combining two separate drawings). Meimi was drawn on one paper and the window on another. With the amount of details I wanted to add, I decided to do the inking digitally since I probably wouldn’t have finished it in time.

Planning, sketching, inking, hatching and everything else in one day was crazy. But, I got it done. With this, I only have one more day and Inktober is finished!

Hasta mañana,

Inktober 2023 Day 29 Natsume (Sabrina)

I recently remembered the original Pokemon anime episode where Natsume (Sabrina for the English Dub) fought using esper powers. I remember it being creepy when I was a kid, but was surprised by how tame the mini arc was when I saw it in preparation for this drawing. Even the way they defeated her was not what I remembered. Having said that, a esper battling with psychic and ghost Pokemons is a pretty cool idea. While looking for reference photos, i quite liked all her outfits, but to fit her having Haunter I decided to go with her anime clothes. I tried to make it as though they have psychic aura around them, but I wonder if that was conveyed.

Inktober 2023 Day 26 Dr Kuriba’s Monster

I chose to make a Frakenstein parody with Kuriba Ryouko’s story arc. I really enjoyed it. Today was a busy day so I wasn’t able to play with the details i would have liked this time. But I can always come back to it at a later date.

Hasta mañana,
