Well, I know what I'm doing first thing tomorrow!

A vision of spring

I used the gouache and dry gouache paint brush tools for the ground, flower and insects. The background was created using the color change brush tool.

Hello, everyone! I hope everything is going well for you (barring certain obvious obstacles that cropped up this year...). Due to memory usage problems, I haven’t been able to draw using Clip Studio Paint until recently. But now that I have that in hand, I hope to put up at least one more picture before this year is over.

This drawing is another result from Canvas Tutor. It’s a combination of two assignments: a palette coloring and anthropomorphizing an object. As you can plainly see, my object was a lamp.

This yokai is a Amabie. Basically, it’s a fish-like creature with a beak, long flowing hair and three fins. They can predict great future harvests, and images of them can be used to deter epidemics. Which is why Twitter was overloaded by pictures of them recently. I found out about them via Gaijin Goombah.

It took forever to complete and upload this one... First of all, I now have a job that takes up much of my time. Second: the original file size was too big, so I had to scale it down.

Here are two abstract pieces that I forgot to put up here earlier.

Both are digital, but were created with different tools. The top one was made with the charcoal tool, and the bottom one with airbrush, g-pen and oil paint.

 This piece started as one of three concept pictures made for a volunteer project I helped with from last year. The project was to draw pictures for Vita Education Services, an organization in Philadelphia which helps people improve their English language/literacy skills. The pictures were specifically for Vita Voices, a series of videos that shares those clients stories. This wasn’t picked for that, but I still had fun finishing this. The video I contributed pictures to - about a woman named Masnoh who immigrated from Liberia - can be found here.

I started this piece years ago, and now it’s finally done! A cropped version is up on Instagram.

Recently Clip Studio Paint added realistic watercolor brushes, so I’ve been playing around with them.

I cut it close for Black History Month this year.... Here’s Bessie Coleman, the first African-American woman to get her pilot license!

The color palette for the dress came from a Canvas Tutor quest.

Hope everyone has a great Valentine’s Day!

I’m happy to be back!
