Inktober 2023 Day 13 Police Meimei

Surprise, another Meimi Tamura drawing. She uploaded a photo of her wearing a police uniform and I couldn’t resist drawing her. Assuming that the translation was done successful she wrote that the mission was safely a mission complete (I believe she was a police for the day). That phrase reminded me of the Metal Slug winning screen so I wanted to emulate that font.

I’m really liking using hatching in this style. It’s very flexible and looks very aesthetic.

Here is another music video of Meimi that you should check out:

Inktober 2023 Day 12 Meimi Tamura

There are so many drawings I want to do with Meimi as the subject. Her photos are cute, aesthetic and have this art feel to them. For this ink drawing I decided to play around with hatching and linework, trying to minimize full inking where possible. And I’m glad I did so because it gave it a really nice look. My maru pen is finally listening to me and doing exactly what I want. Now I can blend in thinner and thicker lines as appropriate.

If you haven’t listened to Meimi’s music do give it a try. I really want her to continue singing.

Inktober 2023 Day 11 Perona

Growing up and reading Shoujou manga I always liked lolita and goth lolita fashion. So when Perona was introduced I really liked her and and her character design. I have been meaning to draw her at some point and a little over a decade later I finally did… Strange how things can just slip by.

For this drawing I used some tracing paper, it makes trying out things much easier when doing it traditionally.

Inktober 2023 Day 10 Madoka Kaname

We’ve made it to day 10. Today I drew Madoka. I drew and did the line art traditionally and then inked and hatched with Clip Studio Paint. Doing it digitally I can try out different ideas without having to start all over. The only other way I can think of doing it traditionally would be to buy transparent paper so I can preview how it will look like before I permanently add in ink.

Inktober 2023 Day 9 Airi Maid

Today was a bit hectic so no inking or hatching.

I’ve been wanting to draw Airi in her maid outfit for a while now, so today ended up being a good excuse to do so.

Inktober 2023 Day 8 Orca

I wanted to try hatching today. This is still rough, But with some planning and more experience, this style can work. As for the subject, I was reminded again of the Orcas that were sinking ships so I decided to draw one today.

Inktober 2023 Day 7 Marin Kitagawa

I’m currently drawing on small pieces of paper that are 6″ x 8″ . I kinda wanted some of the folds in Marin’s clothes to be thinner, but working with my current paper has trouble with my maru pen. It digs in and has trouble releasing the ink like I want it to, despite making the ink consistency just like I want it. I used my g pen to make certain areas thicker to try and give a contrast. But I think it only helped a little. Maybe I should use a higher quality paper to try working with the line thickness I can get with my maru pen.

Inktober 2023 Day 3 Psychics Saiki, Anya, Kanaka

Although I have heard of it before, I started watching Saiki K. It’s just as funny as he described it. The amount of gags deployed in one episode is incredible. This influenced today’s drawing made up of psychic users who can use telepathy. Although I just realized there was someone else I could have included amongst the group, Yakumo Tsukamoto. Perhaps that will be a future drawing for this inktober.

On another note, I want an official translation of Kanakana, a group fan translated 3 chapters but there hasn’t been an update despite that manga still being active.

Hasta mañana,
