Inktober 2025 day Airi Suzuki

I decided to invest on some new refillable brush pens and pens by Kuretake and Pentel. For the first test I decided to draw Airi with the Kuretake brush and pen. Bit of a shame that I didn’t have enough time today so I was limited on the details I could draw.

Hasta la proxima,

Inktober day 7 Fiona Frost

For todays drawing I chose Fiona from Spy Family. I decided to draw her in the outfit she used in her first appearance. I’m actually tempted to draw her in the rain as well.

Inktober 2025 day 1 Mustache

Today marks the first day of Inktober 2025. I won’t really be following the prompts but when I saw mustache it reminded me about a favorite manga/anime character Harima Kenji from School Rumble. Now I feel like re reading the series just like I did with A Cheeky Angel.

So far I have been able to complete Inktober since 2018. That’s seven years which is crazy. Hopefully this year won’t be different. I always notice a level up every year so hopefully that doesn’t change this year as well. I have a wide assortment of pens that I bought years ago but never used so I want to change that this time. Today I used the INC. Precision pen which is actually amazing. Very smooth and responsive to pressure.

Inktober 2022 11 kid Goku

Day 11. This time I chose to draw kid Goku. Yesterday’s pixiv theme was winking, hence today’s drawing. I made a version that felt off, so last minute I decided to redraw it again with different proportions. It’s amazing how such small changes can make a drawing look good or somehow off. I was thinking of adding Roshi’s sunglasses but that would have covered most of Goku’s face. I might give that a try at some point in the future.

After the first Confession – Sacrifice Line Art

The second part of my Komi san Valentine’s series.

Manbagi catching on and figuring out what happened with Komi and Tadano was a really nice touch by the artist. Those flashbacks to Komi holding back for Manbagi’s sake as Manbagi confessed to Tadano pretty much explained all her mixed feelings regarding what going out with Tadano would mean. I think, that having these feelings are quite common right? When you know someone else likes the same person, specially a friend. To top it off, she also knew that Tadano had feelings for Komi. In the end, she chose friendship. A really bitter sweet ending to this love and friendship part of the story.

With that in mind, those mixed emotions are what I wanted to emphasize in this drawing.

Hasta la proxima,

Before the Confession

I painted the background and characters today. Since the scene took place after school, I went for a sunset theme. Since I haven’t seen the anime yet, I had to go and look for some of the colors of the classroom. Although the curtains are based on the first volume’s color scheme. When the background colors were set, I then began painting Tadano and moved over to Komi. Although I do feel that Komi would try and keep her tears till she was on her own, I came upon the idea of having her tear up.

This marks the first Valentine’s day painting for this year.

Hasta la proxima,

Before the Confession Line Art

Hey, I’m finally catching up to the latest chapters of Komi-san. I really liked the way the love triangle wasn’t dragged out. Things are more interesting now that the relationship dynamics have changed. Having said that, what I love is the respect and obviously love that Komi and Manbagi have for each other. Despite being love rivals they also take each other’s feelings into account, which of course can be quite painful. I wanted to capture that moment of sacrifice and regret that Komi felt as she couldn’t bring herself to say her feelings and also hurt Manbagi. This whole scenario brought back memories. Ah… to be young.

Hasta la proxima,
