Remembering my first impulse

For a while, I only drew lain's face.

After the work was completed, I rarely drew Reine's face unless she asked me to.

Since the completion of the work, I only draw Reine's face when sh...

Re-examining the balance between watercolor pencil and lain's face

Today my child sprained her foot and we went to the hospital together.

When they took an x-ray, there was a clear crack-like line on the bone of the foot, and they decided to take a CT scan i...

lain only, I can't draw well with standard drawing.

lain, acrylic painting study. Finally started!

I finally started the acrylic painting of "lain", which I had not been able to start yet, nor had I been able to start the rough sketch. If I'm so nervous about the study, I don't know what will ha...

I failed to upload it!

Too bad, I was updating daily.

I left work early for a business meeting and went home, so I was unable to update the site.

I need to get a Mac so I can do some basic work at home.

Today's 5 drawings.

Almost every day, I call it morning practice, and I draw a light croquis and record it, but it's hard because the videos have accumulated.

The videos of me drawing are very long and silent, b...

I am getting better at croquis while speaking. This has allowed me to update my videos daily.

However, if I make two videos a day, I have accumulated so much stock that I can no longer keep track of which videos I have posted. It is a happy cry.

And although my days are busy, with no ...

I've been doing morning croquis for a few days now and I'm getting a little used to it.

I started doing some croquis in the morning before work. I hadn't posted the first ones I drew, so here are those three and today's three side by side.

First, the croquis from May 13th.

Practice is fun!

Practice in the morning! but it ends up being lunchtime, and I draw a simple croquis every day.

It is important to go back to the basics. If you continue to draw in your own style, distortion...

I painted lain with acrylic paint on an aluminum plate.

When I started using paints, I wanted to have fun and paint on different objects, so I bought an aluminum plate and a sheet of glass.

Doodling to get an idea of character design

Lately, I do a lot of doodles like this in my notebook to get an idea of the character.

Head Drawing Practice

I have been practicing drawing in my spare time, it took me a long time at first, but I think I will be able to do it much faster if I do a lot of drawings.

YouTube Video Finished! And today's is unfinished.

Yesterday I re-recorded the video on how to draw a head several times, but I threw away the recordings I made yesterday and re-recorded it from scratch, which means I re-recorded the video 5 times,...

I've been shooting video all day and I can't get the story straight. And one of my favorite images.

Lately, I've been trying to change the way I draw a picture. I am trying to change the way I draw from the so-called "circle with a slat" to a more academic way where I draw the skull of the face a...

Is this a rejection or ......?

I'm trying to get used to acrylics and I'm painting different kinds of paintings every day. I wanted to practice painting thickly, so I painted this picture, but it is not my original way of painti...
