"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
In focusing on painting and trying to understand color I started neglecting form and proportions. So it’s time I go back to basics and start drawing again. I’ve notice I find it much easier and natural to do so traditionally. I’ve been feeling a bit off so hopefully I can get back in the groove soon.

This will be the background for a future painting. There are certain details that I have yet to add. I also haven’t started painting the actual subjects but I do have a general idea of what I want. Hopefully it works out.

Here is a rough draft for a future painting. Perhaps it will end this year’s autumn art.

Originally I only had Akane but felt it needed a bit more so I decided to also add in Ranma and Ryoga.
I’ve been uploading to a couple of sites but I stopped uploading to Twitter when I found out they would use images for AI, I also started getting a bunch of NFT and spam from Artstation so I have decided to also stop uploading there first. On the plus side, at least it’s two less things to update.

Surprised it took me this long to also paint Yuzuruha and Kongiku, or anything from Muramasa. Here is the rough draft. Making my ideas come to life is so much easier just painting it out like this.

I work way faster if I just paint things out instead of using line art rough sketches I’ve noticed. And if I want to make line art from that I can just go over it at the end.
On another note, despite liking Accelerator I believe this is the first time I have drawn him. It only took over a decade…

From time to time Youtube recomends some pretty cool stuff. Last week I was recomended this video by a channel named Zulfian:
It’s a fan music video for a film called Do Re Mi Fa, or also known as Bumkin Soup. Haven’t seen the movie yet, but the edit and scenes used are really beautiful. There are quite a few scenes that I want to draw and paint. It’s just so aesthetic.
After a long time, I made some line art. I started with a more realist style but wanted to also try a more anime/manga style, so I did both.
I still haven’t decided on what I would do regarding coloring/painting it. Hopefully I would have seen the movie by then.

This is a rough drawing of a future piece that I will be working on.

For some reason I had the urge to draw Komi. It’s been a while since I last catched up with Komi’s manga. Last I remembered they went to New York I think? I think it’s time I go back to reading it.
I have a number of paintings waiting to be uploaded but I need to space them out between background and the finished painting. Which helps me rest my eyes on them so that I can give them a look over and edit as needed. Plus I really should do some more drawings and line art.
Because they are simpler to do I can create some time buffers so that I can practice and work on longer projects. My brother was telling me that I should do some traditional art, and I do want to. But it takes longer so I have been neglecting it lately. It’s sad just seeing my Nicker Poster colors cake up.
We’ll see.

It’s getting really hot where I live… I can’t wait for summer to finally be over and enter my favorite season.
In the mean time, here is an update to my Android 18 drawing. Here she is inked.

I have had this idea for a couple of years and now , I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to finally draw it. This will also be inked and painted. But that will be uploaded at a later date.

Still not much spare time this week, although I finished the hardest parts of my home project. The rest should be a bit more straight forward and hopefully will go much faster. If that does happen I should have more time to draw and paint.
On another note, my brother needed a laptop so I sold him my previous Surface Pro 5. This meant that I could finally upgrade to a newer model. I ended up on the pro 7 with an i7 and 16 gb of ram. A good improvement in all aspects overall. I just got it today and had a few hours at the end of today to try it out. So far so good, here is a quick sketch that I did freehand.
