"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
It has been months that this painting has been waiting to be posted. Although that was a good idea because a couple of weeks ago I made some edits that I feel made it even better. I don’t know why, but I always have problems with Rei’s hair. Something about working with blue hair, or maybe blue in general is giving me problems. I like the contrast of the white and black plug suits.

Here is the final part of this painting of Rei Ayanami. I took many rests as I was finishing it up due to various reasons but I’m glad I did because it gave me a chance to see it with new eyes. On top of that, at some point I finally began experimenting with the blending tool. The soft one is the one I eventually chose to use. For harder blending and separation of colors the sergeant tool is is my best tool. But for certain textures such as the skin I need softer blending sometimes.
Overall this was a fun painting to play around with.

This was originally drawn for Inktober 2022 day 18.
I didn’t quite like how the face looked so I wanted to update it before I painted it.

Now that my Rei Ayanami drawing has been fixed, I can now go ahead and hatch it as well as eventually color it.

Line art originally done for Inktober 2022 day 7.
Can be seen here:
I didn’t like how I originally drew it, so before I inked/painted it I wanted to fix a couple of things. Mainly the face. It’s amazing how a couple of changes could make such a big differences.

Day 18. Today I drew Rei Ayanami. I think I should make Rei’s (our right) )eye slightly smaller, some point in the future.

Day 7, Rei Ayanami. Will have to try drawing it again at some point in the future. Didn’t quite like the way the eyes look and I think I will have to make the arm a bit longer.

The new Evangelion movie has finally been released here in the States. But I have yet to see it… This drawing is to commemorate it’s release. Really looking forward to watching it when I get a chance.

There was something very comforting seeing Rei doing some farm work. It gave some really strong Ghibli vibes. I wanted a dreamlike aesthetic so I used really vibrant colors for this painting. Rei looks quite peaceful. In a way, this piece is the opposite of Asuka’s winter painting.
This painting was done using Corel Painter’s Sargent Brush and tapered oil brush.

Will write a description next time I have some time. This one had a lot of steps.

I wanted to try working with the more simplistic style again today. For my model I chose Momoko Tsugunaga and while looking for some reference pictures I came upon some where she was cosplaying as Rei Ayanami. Which in turn just turned into Rei Ayanami in the end. I don’t have enough blues in my collection of Copics so I’m a bit bummed that I wasn’t able to do much with her blue hair. Looking at my drawing there are still traces of Momochi which I like. At first I had Rei smiling but decided against it. The end result gives her an expression of noticing the viewer and glancing over.
