"A Hopeless Dream Chaser"
I was running out of paper so I bought some new one that was made specifically for ink and pens. I decided to try it out for todays drawing. The paper is quite smooth, I like it. When I get the chance I want to really try it out with my dip pens. On other papers it would cut the fibers and lift them up, so I wonder if that problem will not occur with this paper.
This time it’s a study of Karin Miyamoto using a photo from her instagram.

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.

I have really been enjoying the Dandadan anime and manga. Momo is such a cute character.

Not feeling too great today so I decided to only draw the line art today. This time I decided to draw Ranma.

I finally finished the Oshi no Ko manga a couple of weeks ago. Personally I liked the ending. But that’s all I’ll say so as to not spoil anything.
On another note, I’ve recently been playing around with lighting effects. These really change my paintings and help out in ways that would take me too long to figure out and paint by hand. I wanted to learn how to do it by hand first though to build the fundamentals. Although I still have a ways to go but it should be ok to try new tools.

There’s a couple of new brushes I downloaded for Clip Studio which of course included pens. There is one that emulates translucent ink which I wanted to try out. It’s pretty realistic. I like it.
Now that I’ve done the line art, I cleaned up the lines and finalized sections that I was still planning out. The next step is figuring out how I want to paint it.

It still looks a bit rough, but hopefully it will take form when I finalize the lines. I have decided to just do the rough draft traditionally and then do the line art digitally so as to not waste time redoing the line art more than once.

Running a bit late but hopefully I wont have those problems tomorrow.
I usually just draw whatever I want for Inktober, but I like the prompts this year so I might be following some of them this time. Today’s drawing is Marin Kitagawa wearing a backpack.
After not drawing traditionally for a while, it took me some time to get used to it again. But this made me realize just how much I prefer making line art traditionally as opposed to digitally. There is some that is just more intuitive. Despite that though, I did make a couple of mistakes, some were so bad when I had to actually start inking that I had no choice but to redraw it all again. Hopefully bristol paper works better with the ink because the paper I ended up using always has the fibers get cut and released when I use my maru pen.
On another note, I finally had a chance to try out Clip Studio’s 3d model. I’m surprised it took me this long to actually try it. This will make drawing and coming up with ideas and poses much easier and better. After my brother informed me that all my drawings and paintings were all doing the same thing, I wanted to change things up a bit.
Here’s to the rest of Inktober.

I wonder how long it has been waiting to be uploaded? I just had a full day of snowing yesterday so I think it’s appropriate to upload a Wintery painting before we enter Spring. It was weird painting with Krita from Corel Painter. But for a free program it’s awesome. After playing around with the settings though it felt a lot better. But I guess for my painting style I’m just too used to Corel.
I’m so glad Airi has been very successful once she went solo. It’s always great when a new song or acting project comes out. There are so many Airi paintings I hope to make.

I was fighting this painting till the end. I made so may edits at different times and now I’m not even sure how I feel about it. Did I push it too far? Not far enough? Should I simplify more? perhaps at a later date I will know the answer. But for now I will leave it as is.
I really like Memcho, I hope I did her justice. Either way I want to paint her more in the future.
For those who follow me here you get to see the old version I had ready to go a couple of weeks ago before I began editing it this week:

After being left in my upload folder for a couple of weeks, it is finally time to upload this painting. Although I’m glad it took this long because as I was getting ready to upload I noticed that the cup was a bit wonky in the opening. After fixing that I felt it was a good enough time to add some steam to the cup. After a long while, this time I decided to paint it in an 80s anime style.
Here is the process,

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