AAM Inktober Day 7: Supernova

October 7, 2024

Didn't want to do another night sky one since it'd be too close to the first day's drawing, so I did a character instead. Took inspiration of the characters some people made for the galaxy prompt

Made a tiny thumbnail for this one, too

⚠️⚠️SPOILERS- Don't look too closely at this illustration if you haven't seen the first season and movie of made in abyss.⚠️⚠️

Made in abyss illustration I made. I mainly worked on this during lectures when they were going over content I already knew ✨

I wanted to take a stab at doing the whole grayscale painting thing before adding colours for once. I think this was a pretty metal way to test that technique out 💀. complicated ass drawing right here

The problem I had with doing the colour layer is that it took a while for me to find something that would look like the right colour. Most colours were fine, but browns were really annoying in particular (they often showed up as bright oranges xd). It also took some finagling to make the shading look good (as in not shaded by pure black), but i got the hang of it. Honestly it was pretty fun using different colours to make the shading look better 😌

I basically painted everything on a single layer (it was divided between foreground (all the characters) and the background sections). yeah, I prolly could have done it in a much more efficient manner, but I had fun so it don't matter.

Really like how it turned out overall (they're so cute but the story is so fucked up it's all so fucked up) and the plan is to make posters out of this bad boy >:)))

Annoying ass watermarks are back because fuck you get away from my hard work!!!

Little watercolour portrait I did at my uni's art club watercolour workshop. Went w my roomie and just chilled.

Chose a warm colour palette just to make things easy, dk waht compelled me to do a portrait. I like how it ended up tho >:J

Also I brought my own watercolours and brushes because it just makes things easier, but I let others in our little circle use them and one of them was using them as you would acrylics I was mortified ☠️

AAM Inktober Day 4: Cloud

October 4, 2024

Still didn't do a sketch for this one (which was scary cos it's a person), but I did do a little thumbnail sketch on another page so that I would have a clear idea of what pose I wanted. I do think that the sketch's pose is more dynamic, but I like the final piece.

Sketchbook

May 26 2016

Sketchbook I started in 2016. Back when I was one of those losers who used sketchbooks to put full illustrations in, instead of actual sketches.

One of the few sketchbooks I've finished. Won't be the last, though >:)

The Perfect Run | Ryan Romano

Fanart of this silly guy. Never landed on a pose for the drawing, and honestly didn't like the book all that much to motivate myself to finish it.

AAM Inktober Day 3: Garden

October 3, 2024

Initially wanted to do a full garden, but I was a bit tired of doing full backgrounds so i settled for a tomato plant

Pretty simple, I like the different textures I can get with this one brush. Sometimes reminds me of the technique used in chinese paintings to draw bamboo/trees
