Strawhats At The Beach
I decided to work on the Nami painting again. But I felt she was too lonely so aside from reworking her and the background I decided to add the other (official) female members of the Strawhats. For some reason I was having trouble with the colors for Robin and Vivi’s hair.

Summer Park Background
Due to certain circumstances I’m falling a bit behind have art ready to be uploaded. But hopefully things get better soon. This painting I decided to work on today after I was done with other obligations.
This background is actually a RE:do of an old painted I made years ago. I think it looks much better now.

It’s getting Hot
This summer is unsurprisingly hot… As soon as I step outside and move any movement I begin to melt down. I really don’t like the summer. But luckily Fall is next.

It’s getting Hot line art
It’s getting really hot, it’s that time of the year…
It feels like an oven in my room. I decided to pull the trigger on an A/C. Hopefully that will ease this summer’s heat.

Nami at the Beach
I think this might be my first Nami drawing and painting. How the heck is that even possible. It only just occurred to me as I’m writing this description. I’m gonna have to remedy that.
After painting Nami I was wondering how I would integrate her to the background. In the beginning I had large splash waves that pretty much covered up the whole background. I contemplated making a matching painting painting with a separate character but decided to focus on coming up with a different way to showcase both the background and Nami. After playing around with the layer effects I ended up using the overlay effect on a separate layer for the splashing and dripping water. This gave my brush strokes a slight transparency depending on how I laid the paint. While I was at it, I also used this layer to add some lighting.

Beach Background
A piece I’m working one and this will be the background. Summer is finally ending, so I should do a couple of pieces before we finally enter autumn.

Summer Straw Hat
For my my first Painting using my XP-Pen Pro 24 I decided to do a study painting of Airi Suzuki in a summer dress and straw hat. I was a bit intimidated because of all the details on the hat and the dress. But once I started I just got in the groove.
I just recently upgraded my drawing monitor from a 16 inch one to a 24 inch one. My plan was to wait for next year but there was a used one for a good price so I decided to take the plunge. I was surprised by how huge it was. I had to change my set up again since I don’t have the space for the old monitor arm I was using with my 16 inch set up. So far I am loving being able to see so much of the canvas as I work and being able to work on more of it as once. Now I have to move the painting less. The only downside is that the pen has this annoying problem when I’m resizing the brush that my previous 16 inch monitor did not have. I guess all that marketing about having a smarter chip in the pen was not all for show. I wonder if they will ever update the pen to this monitor. I will update how it holds up as I use it more.

Summer Stroll Momochi
Finally, we are in the tail end of the summer, there’s only three more days before we finally enter the fall season! Heck yeah! I like this outfit that Momochi used in her “Off Momochi in Okinawa” blu ray. I think it really fits the lowering temps. I made two versions, a more realistic version and an anime version where I simplified certain aspects of the face and enlarging the eyes. Using outlines helps make people pop out, but I wanted to see if I could make it look good without them.

It’s Hot – Kamijou Touma
We’re finally getting close to the end of the summer. The mornings are no longer freakin hot, now it’s usually cool before it begins to heat up. This drawing was a quick one i did when the heat was almost unbearable throughout the day and even night. I wanted to do a quick and simple drawing with a simple coloring scheme that I’ve seen from other artists.
I have one last summer painting for this year and will now begin doing some autumn artwork. October is also almost here, which means Inktober. This year I plan on making more finished drawings instead of just line art.
