Black and white illustration of a woman seen from behind, holding a glowing lantern in her raised hand. She has long locs tied up in a bun with a large bow, and wears round glasses and a strapless wrap top. Tattoos decorate her upper arm and back—one is a crescent moon design, the other is a witchy moon with a black cat sitting in it . Moths flutter around her, with dotted flight paths suggesting movement. She gazes into the lantern with a calm, mysterious expression.

Actually it supposed to be a study. But I added houses and an elf and changed the aspect ratio. I caught myself being a perfectionist. "If this pixel is not the same as in the photo, then what is all this for?" To hell with it. I'd rather do 5 more art. Experiment. Chill.

Rumi from KPop Demon Hunters!!
#artshare #KDH #kpop #kpopdemonhunters #digital
Black and white digital drawing of Rumi from K-Pop Demon Hunters, sitting on the ground with her legs stretched in a wide split. She’s wearing loose pants, chunky sneakers, and a cropped hoodie that reveals her toned stomach. Her long, thick braid curves across the ground beside her. Rumi is adjusting her hair tie with a calm, focused expression. The pose is casual yet strong, with soft shading and dynamic linework.

Black and white line art of a graceful mermaid with long, flowing hair that curves around her body underwater. She has a ruffled seashell-style top and a spotted, textured tail with large finned ends. Bubbles and a small fish surround her as she floats with a serene, slightly wistful expression.

Manga Master Study
Normalize copying for learning…It’s how you get better! 😊
I’m going to be copying various shojo manga and posting them here every once in a while…
The first page of Marmalade Boy, a black-and-white shoujo manga. It features four panels. In the first panel, a neatly set table displays teapots, teacups, and a snack tray. A speech bubble offscreen says, “Umm, Miki.” In the second panel, Miki—a teenage girl with short dark hair and large expressive eyes—sips tea, looking curious. A speech bubble reads, “Please don’t be surprised… but we would like you to listen…” The third panel reveals her parents sitting side by side, smiling brightly with sparkles around them. The mother says, “We’re…” and the father, with a cheerful expression, finishes: “…going to get a divorce ♡” with the word “SMILE” playfully written above them. In the fourth panel, Miki stares ahead in shock, her teacup frozen mid-air. A narration box reads: “One day, my parents… suddenly declared their divorce…” A black-and-white manga-style comic page that recreates the first page of Marmalade Boy with updated art and characters. In the first panel, a tea set is placed on a table—teapot, cup, saucer, and milk pitcher. Offscreen dialogue says, “Listen, Miki…” and “We have something to tell you. Please try not to get upset.” In the second panel, Miki sips from her teacup, a questioning look on her face as a speech bubble reads, “Your father and I…” The third panel mirrors the original: both parents smile with sparkles surrounding them. The father cheerfully says, “Are getting divorced! ♡” with stylized sparkles and sound effects. In the final panel, Miki stares forward in silent shock, cup held in her hands. A narration box reads, “My parents’… sudden announcement that day…” This page is a faithful redraw of the original Marmalade Boy intro, maintaining the same layout and emotional pacing, but with the artist’s unique character designs and linework.

Don’t give up! Doing before and after is a good way of making sure you’re improving!!
#art #beforeandafter
A character sheet features two black-and-white anime-style drawings of a shy girl named Miki. On the left is an early, simplified version: Miki stands stiffly with a slight blush, one hand to her cheek, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and loose pants. Text beside her reads: “Name: Miki. Age: 16. Most noticeable trait: Shy.” On the right is a more detailed and updated version of Miki. She has a side ponytail and wears a loose off-the-shoulder sweater, tight shorts, and thigh-high socks. Her expression is flustered and shy, eyes wide, with one hand raised to her cheek. A speech bubble reads: “Aww! Don’t embarrass me!!” Her body language and outfit highlight her bashfulness in a more modern, stylized design.

Some practice! 🤗
Side-by-side comparison of a photo reference and a manga-style drawing. The photo shows a person in a white bodysuit with blue grid lines, seated cross-legged on a white cushion, resting their chin on their left hand while looking to the side. The accompanying drawing replicates the pose in a clean, black-and-white manga style, complete with line shading and screentones. The drawn figure has short hair and expressive eyes, maintaining the same thoughtful posture as the reference image.

Does anyone remember the moment when Astarion turns you down flat? I was so carefree before then. 😩

#mangapractice #arttransformation #beforeandafter
A side-by-side comparison of two anime-style illustrations featuring a female character in a bath scene. The top-right image is an older, full-color anime-style drawing of a young woman with long brown hair, covered in soap suds, with a surprised expression. The background is purple with large, glowing bubbles. She looks over her shoulder with wide, purple eyes. The bottom-left image is a recent black-and-white manga-style redraw of the same scene, showcasing improved detail and expressive emotion. The character now has sharper facial features, an intense glare, and an angry expression as she yells, ‘Don’t look, Perv!’ in a spiky speech bubble. Her long hair is more dramatic, flowing downward, and she wears a towel wrapped around her body. The panel features manga-style shading, screentones, and stylized sound effects surrounding her, emphasizing her frustration. Floating bubbles add to the bath setting, enhancing the atmosphere.

I’ve been feeling down lately and a supportive friend couldn’t relate to ADHD exhaustion and executive dysfunction so I drew this to try and explain. When you have the ADHD crash and depression at once, it can be hard. Hope everyone is doing well. 😘

#mangapage
A black-and-white manga page depicts a woman sprawled out on a couch in exhaustion, wearing a larger tshirt snd shorts. The first panel (top) is an establishing shot of her lying lifelessly on the couch, completely drained, as a large “ズル～～ン” (slump) sound effect stretches across the panel, emphasizing her heavy, motionless state. The second panel (middle left) zooms in on her face, showing her vacant, unfocused eyes. She remains still, trapped in executive dysfunction and depression, unable to move. The third panel (middle right) pulls back again, showing her curled up slightly as she remains on the couch, unmoving. Suddenly, from outside the scene, a voice calls: “Mom!” Her eyes snap open in the fourth panel (bottom right), breaking the previous emptiness as she’s jolted into awareness. The fifth panel (bottom middle) shifts focus to the voice—a child off-screen cheerfully asking, “Mamaaa! Is dinner ready yet? ♥” There is a pause as reality sets in. She hasn’t even started cooking. The weight of that realization settles in before she finally responds in a distant voice: “Not yet.”(bottom left) A stretched-out speech bubble reflects the heaviness of her words. The page captures executive dysfunction, exhaustion, and the crushing guilt of realizing responsibilities have slipped away, all conveyed through expressive paneling, shading, and body language.

This is the video I followed.

painting of a serene forest scene featuring an old stone bridge covered in moss and greenery. Sunlight filters through the dense tree canopy, casting golden rays onto the water below. The reflection of the light shimmers on the surface, creating a peaceful and magical atmosphere. Vines dangle from the bridge, adding to its ancient and overgrown appearance. The surrounding trees are lush, with leaves in varying shades of green, enhancing the depth and tranquility of the scene.

Line weight and expression practice~
A black-and-white sketch of two manga-style character expressions. The top character has wavy hair with bangs and is smiling with her eyes closed, appearing cheerful and joyful. Her hair curls at the end, adding a playful touch. The bottom character has straight hair with blunt bangs and an intense frown, with a small anger mark on her forehead, giving her an irritated or frustrated expression. The drawing focuses on expressive facial features and linework. This was a practice in conveying emotions through different expressions.

#mangapractice
A black-and-white, three-panel manga-style sequence read from left to right. In the first panel, a long-haired girl looks down, tears forming in her eyes as her hair flows behind her. The second panel shows a sudden motion—her head snaps up with a dramatic shift, and the Japanese sound effect (“ぱ!”) emphasizes the movement. In the final panel, she looks off to the side with a small, confident or knowing smile, her hair still flowing. The background features soft glowing orbs, adding atmosphere. This was a manga practice focused on expression, motion, and panel flow.

Manga practice! Playing with different brushes and line weight! ☺️

#artpractice #mangaartist
A set of four black-and-white manga-style drawings of a girl with long hair, holding a pencil and resting her head on her hand. She looks tired or frustrated, with a little sweat drop near her face. Each version experiments with different line weights, brushes, and shading styles. The first two focus on clean linework, while the bottom ones add more shading and detail. The last version has bold shadows, highlights, and a dramatic swirly background, making it feel more intense. This was a manga practice exploring different inking techniques.
