Happy new year!

I decided to do a study on some Tsubasa concept art from Bakemonogatari. I want to lean more towards the SHAFT style since they're quickly becoming my favorite studio.

Haven't posted for a bit, but started practicing again today and drew a guy for once. Still working out exactly how I want things to look.

I did decide to tweak her a bit more. I felt like the face was a bit too skinny and the eyes too high. I also adjusted the shading on the arm.

I may go back and tweak her a bit more later, but I think I'm going to use the color halos for a bit as a series.

A stylized anime portrait of a girl with medium-length wavy black hair, warm brown eyes, and freckles. She's wearing a light blue T-shirt and smiling softly. Behind her is a large pink circle that frames her head and shoulders.

Kept messing with this for way longer than I should have and I'm still not sure why I don't love it, but I don't. 😪

Just gonna keep listening to that Ira Glass quote on repeat and try again later.

Doing more timelapses now. You can tell when they're AI, because there's no meaningful change from start to finish. Isn't progress the whole point?

I need to take a day and work on eyes. It's a weak point that a lot of my drawings have this 1000 yard stare going on.

If anyone has any tips/tutorials they've used, please let me know.

Spent the evening with noise canceling headphones on and working on my Clip Studio Paint workflow and it was some serious bliss.

Hope you like what's coming! Follow for more!

Decided to rework my previous post. Refining is really helping lately. I want to try to get into more full body poses soon.

Happy Halloween!

A touch of color today and a bit more gradation to the eyes. Just going to keep trying things until I lock in!

Thanks for following me!

Kind of a mixture of the stuff I've been trying lately with some of my older techniques.

Soooo yeah. I'm genuinely pretty happy with this. Glad to be back on the road to 100.

Feeling like I've made some more progress.

Definitely was overtaken by some game development tasks for the last bit, but I'm coming back to continue my journey to 100 this week!

Hoping I can make it to 50 by the end of October!

Thank you!

Wrapped up my #KaraneInda study from #100Kanojo today.

Made some proportion fixes with liquify and mirrored a hair tail to balance things. Happy with how it came together!

Working on a study of #KaraneInda from #100Kanojo. Only got about half way I think but was starting to get tired.

Working digitally continues to be fun now that I switched to CSP for iPad.

Okay! Feels like 1 step forward, 1 step back, but I’ll keep working this way for a bit and push on. Thanks for sticking around. I'm learning a lot on this road to 100. 💪

Okay, I swear I set up my CSP and tablet! I'm going to do some digital work today or tomorrow, but wanted to get a quick pencil doodle in!

Thank you for the tag and congrats on 300 (& 350!)!

I'm still trying to do more digital but here's a combo of work from this year as I build my skills/style.
