Another set from Instagram story. The first image of a three-set for Phoebe’s Me & Birb in the life. I thought about doing full, desaturated colour pieces, with higher saturations at the focal points. But I ended up pivoting on a line-work heavy, but relatively clean look instead. Partly because I like lines, and I’m lazy 😛 Continue reading ME & BIRB #1 Uneasy cohabitation
An image spurred by a friend’s Instagram story request… a flippant decision, careless outlines, stubborn workflow, and entirely fun project! ….kinda stuck now though, but still fun! #wip Continue reading Oh! Housewife in the Evening West (wip)
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!

Taking it slow after the go-go drawing schedule of Inktober. Here’s a “mashup (?)” of some of the characters from the Inktober challenge. Considering that I figured that the only time I have to do this will be during the total of 40 minutes commute I have each day, I settled on this 2-room, look-through-the-windows style design (tips for lazy ass like me, wink*). I … Continue reading Slowvember 2018 and Draw 50 Things
Brainstorm – sketch – struggle – struggle more – cursed the limited 24-hr day one has – repeat. It’s been a busy year, but October – Inktober had really claimed the crown for the MOST HECTIC time of the year so far! If I have the choice, I’ll never try juggling a month full of animal experiments with a-ink-piece-a-day challenge. The schedule almost crushed me … Continue reading Inktober 2018 – Finished, not Perfect!
