Another Year of Life 2026

This was two years in the making. I used to force my self to complete a piece on the day but I’d rather take my time now. So I did the main design last year and was going to either ink it or paint it this year. I don’t know where I left the original drawing so I decided to paint it digitally. But due to a couple of factors I couldn’t get to it on the 2nd of November, I only managed to do the line art. But although it is now 2 days late, I still want to finish and upload the finish piece this year so that I can do something different next year.

Let there be hope, let there be a miracle.

New Year 2022 1st Drawing/Painting

Happy New Year!

Feliz Año Nuevo!

あけましておめでとう!

Somehow I managed to finish it on time. This is the first drawing of the year. I decided to risk it and rest a bit after work yesterday and start the first drawing/painting of the year on the very first day of the year. Usually I start a day before and finish it on the second. I wasn’t too sure what the subject would be until I noticed that people were posting tiger themed photos on instagram. The tiger is my favorite animal so this actually made ideas flow much easier.

I had the idea of riding the tiger but felt that was a bit cruel. Then I had the idea of the tiger kinda hugging me like my dog does (well except he hugs from the front) and this concept was born. I drew it first without reference to come up with the pose and whatnot. I wanted a hopeful and determined theme, with the strength of the tiger behind our backs. Or something like that. As for the background I wanted to emphasize the winter weather and used a photo that I took years ago of a street where the mountains could be seen with a beautiful sunset.

Let’s do our best this year!

Hasta la proxima,
