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 9 Airi Maid
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 6 Papa Meat Pumpkin Spice
Papa Meat is fast becoming one of my favorite youtube creators. His follow up to his pumpkin spice animation was hilarious.

Inktober 2023 Day 4 Luffy Knight
I liked the design and the curves of the suit of armor that Luffy briefly wears during “Thriller Bark”. Who wouldn’t be happy to wear it.

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.

Inktober 2023 Day 02 Nico Robin

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.

Inktober 2022 31 Yura Final
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.

Inktober 2022 30 Meimi Tamura Birthday
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!
Hasta la proxima,

Inktober 2022 29 Misaka and Misaki
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.
