Ring (@mrjakeparker #inktober2019) My first ninja cat wielding a massive ring blade. A lot of thoughts here. As I decided to do this whole series on paper a with a glossy photo paper finish (a texture I’m not familiar with), I just realised that I won’t be able to do any of those #copicmarkers blending stuff that I usually do. I guess this just gonna … Continue reading Inktober 2019: Day 01
Project page update :: Cosplay Alice status — complete I’m not gonna lie, but the cover is kinda an after-thought. I’ve only started on the designs for this cover thingy about half way through all the inking and colouring. Anyhow, the process of the zine cover design pretty much go like this: …settled on the first idea. Call me lazy. Continue reading Cosplay Alice: Zine cover design
Boooy, this is taking longer than I’ve ever expected. Normally, inking is the fastest part of any project I’d done (flatting’s the second). However, little did I know, that the moment I decided to do all the inking on an actual COMPUTER (ie. with a drawing tablet etc), using a more “sophisticated” drawing softwares I’ve doomed the the entire timeline to an infinite stretch. Well, infinite may be exaggerating it a bit. Anyhow, there’s reason for me saying this. It went like this:

It took awhile, but I finally buckled down and finish a “fully” coloured, digitally too, drawing. As it’s better to have a deadline for anything (gotta finish something sometime), the recent illustration contest by Celsys (CLIP Studio Paint) is perfect for this, which also explains the SPORT-theme I dubbed for this drawing (otherwise I don’t really care about drawing sports). The resulting 5-day idea sketches during commune and 11-day inking+colouring (via trials and errors) in the wee hours after work created this…well, not exactly satisfactory (to me) but okay drawing I have below. Anyhow, it’s a start, and a rather fun and fulfilling one, of colouring for me. I really had fun doing colours (which I never did) in CLIP Studio Paint. The experience leaves me eager to do and practice more. I guess the biggest challenge for me now is to NOT BE LAZY and seriously get on with my projects!
