Couldn't think of what to draw tonight so, I sketched out a quick Kasumi to practice my pen on.

It's bigger than I expected. May do some gray washes or maybe colored pencil.

What do YOU think I should do?

Last iteration of the cover for "Big Adventures With My Crazy Little Friend". Getting better with the pen but moved just a wee but too quickly and left a blot to be fixed in post.

Onto the next thing!

Morning Meezy!

Gonna do some more poses. She's as fun to draw as Briony was... maybe more fun.

Wasn't at home so Micron rather than G-nib

Unsolicited compliments like this one from last week; when someone tells me I make them happy when I didnt do anything special.

I work at an indie bookstore and I just try to make people happy. I don't recognize the custy but, apparently they did not feel worse for interacting with me.

Quick little Meezy before bed.

We've had this wooden bookstand thing kicking around for years and never used it. It was outside all summer

Today, I sanded it down, waxed it up and made it an art workstation in the dining room

It's perfect

The giant angled drafting table in my studio is clunky and will be retired

Some "brush(pen) mileage" tonight.

After initial inking was done, I realized Meezy's pose and proportions were WAY off(I will blame my new blue lead pencil) So, thought I'd play around with the pen. Got some nice moments.

A rework is in order.

More #mangaart learning with my G-nib dip pen!

Evil magical mouse kemonomimi girl!

Overhead perspective is hard but, I do think I got the creepy look down. Hair is better, too

More art night!

G-nib practice with a Kasumi sketch I did this afternoon.

Gotta keep getting some pen mileage to improve!

Art night!

More #goblingirl inking practice. Learned a bit and definitely not expecting perfection. Found my mini-painting brush not great for inking

On a whim, used a #sumi stone, ink and brush a friend gifted me. Never touched one before but tried the only #kanji I know the stroke order of.

Quickie drawing of Kasumi, The Daughter of the Wolf.

Zebra mech pencil with blue lead fornthe drawing, Microns for the inking and a Tombow Fudenosuke for the characters.

I DID do some work on my Meezy studies but wanted to draw something relaxing before bed

Realized I need to buckle down and practice #mangaart hair and facial proportions as well as working with my new pen.

So, I'll be doing a bunch of #goblingirl Meezy portraits. Here's the pencils. I'll be posting no matter how they turn out...

More to come.

Not sure why none of the folks with #learningJapanese advice have thought of this. 'cause I work in a bookstore, I thought of beginning readers!

Found free ones! tinyurl.com/bdd8jswe

This AM, I read a story about a kitten and his big sister.

I got the story and learned the word/kanji for 'bird'!

Another try with the G-nib dip pen.
A test for the first cover for "Big Adventures With My Crazy Little Friend" (to inspire my writer)

Definitely finished-not-perfect but learned a lot. I need to:

Tighten up my pencils considerably
Don't skimp on the paper
Practice mark making

My first attempt with a Tachikawa G-nib dip pen and Kuretake manga black ink.

A challenge but fun. Still lots to learn but not as afraid as i was. Not sure if it's the nib or the ink (SO black!) but it just looks cooler than with Micron somehow...

Another Meezy quickie at lunch.

She loves her booze...

Actually trying to do a Meezy-only cover.

A little #cocktailsketching before bed.

Did a little bitty Meezy in very chibi-proportions. I think I will make her chibi for the entire manga.

Re-drew and inked all of the Mikus on the page. Not a lot of variety in expression but, I didn't want to completely erase and draw them.

Falling in love with Nanashi's drawings in "Don't Bully Me, Nagatoro-san!". Nagatoro's expressions are so subtle, I'm going to be trying to steal his expression mojo.

Also, using a brush pen for the first time in a while!

Here's a more natural-haired Miku

#coffeesketching from this AM.

A Patron wanted a mouse kemonomimi #magicalgirl from the Daighter of the Wolf universe.

Only, she's a villain!

Not sure what her name is. Given recent anime, it will be a non-Japanese name with an "L". Lorelei...

Oh, and some H'azl and D'azy

Got a writer for my orc/goblin/elf characters!

It's just for fun, but they're so jazzed to write this, I hope I can do the #manga justice.

Working title:

"Big Adventures With My Crazy Little Friend"

Here's the pencils for the cover. Am waiting to ink until my Tachikawa G-nibs and holder arrive
