We’re finally at fall, so to commemorate this is the first fall painting this year.

Fall Leaf 2026
Hot summer day Noriko Takaya
I wanted to try coloring in the anime style again. This time I chose Noriko Takaya from Gun Buster. The original line art was done for inktober 2021 day 18.
It can be seen here:
For that version of the drawing I was going for a fall scene, but since we are now in these sweltering heat. I changed it to a summer scene instead. I changed Noriko’s outfit and leaf to fit the new theme.

Inktober 2021 Day 19
I was listening to Utada Hikaru all day today and of course “Colors” came up. I really like the aesthetic of the music video, it is a great song to listen to in the autumn season.

Inktober 2021 Day 18
I don’t think I’ve ever drawn a Gunbuster piece before. Strange because I love that OVA. I was considering drawing Noriko in her trademark cross arm pose but decided to make a joint post for both inktober and Pixiv’s theme for today (Ginkgo Biloba), and that also fits with the autumn season. I’ll make that pose drawing at some point in the future.

Momoko Tsugunaga ginkgo biloba
This was first drawn for inktober of this year. I wanted to warm up and try painting again. I want to try and work with backgrounds.
Here it is.

Inktober 2018 #9 Leaf
Just something simple and fast so I can work on another piece. Funnily enough it was a rather tough piece. Not because it don’t have the skills but because the pen kept skipping and dropping not enough ink or noticeable droplets that messed with the values. Because of that I was forced to work with darker and darker values. A shame because I was aiming to try and get it to look realistic.
Here is the process:
While I was refilling this little container where I keep the ink I wasn’t thinking and allowed an ink bubble to burst which of course fell onto the paper. After ending the cycle of mistakes I go and make simple and dumb one.
I was actually planning to finish it at this point, but when uploading the pictures to my pc I saw that it would be an easy fix if I pushed the values further.
So I did and ended with this.
