Draw this again meme (brb dying...)

Nov 2010/ March 2012

Looks like I draw more shota now:D I haven't drawn any guys for over a year.

This year is already getting stressful *rolls on floor* So many deadlines homg.

Fluffy stuffo

 
Stress-relief drawing; approx 2-3 hours. It was fun using crayon and acrylic for this^^b Thank you for taking it to today's top 8 and for placing me (currently) at number 5 for the weekly rankings on theO. I've never been there before D:

Special thanks to Darkarax who made this picture into a beautiful wallpaper called 'When the Light Fades'. Shocked. Honestly. And the wallpaper also made it to today's top 8 *hi5*

Handwriting meme and things I'll never finish

 

Did this a few months ago when I was bored. Tried to do a Vocaloid one, but I'm still bad at sketching directly from tablet (YOKKORASE-X, sekkusuuuu~ argggghhhhh). 

Stuff from last year.

Leaderboard Rankings (again, again)!!

It was such a surprise to log on to theotaku today, and find myself at number 2:DD

My picture was also number two on the front page. I wasn't too happy with the picture, but I'm glad people took time to look at it.

Yeah, I don't know why random things keep on popping up on my laptop screen from the top; I just ignore it-__-;

(edit: I logged in another 12 hours later... I was still number three:O)

Old WIPs

If I don't put them up now... I probably never will orz. Also,  I should go to bed after this, but I haven't drawn for two days (and I dug up some sketches)///

  

 Lineart; looked like Shana. Hai thar Tenshi-chan <3 I hate drawing long hair because it takes 100x the effort than short hair to draw.

 

Base colour stage; starting to get annoyed because lines were too thin, and the magic tool didn't pick it up so I had to manually fill in the empty gaps.

 

Watching a Vocaloid video whilst apply level 1 shading. So boredddd *A*

Annoyed at the picture because I drew lots of bamboo (good looking stuff) that didn't fit with the moon I drew >_____<p

DOLL OF HOURAI FUJIWARA NO MOKOU ILY LOL. Only screenshot I have of her~ Tenshi Tenshi.

Uploaded this a few days ago. And this:

Oh dear, Luka got requested on formspring by Jason,so I drew Tako Luka +_+

Simple drawing, cging process

I'm bad at it. Maybe that's why it takes me so long to cg. Importing and exporting between SAI and Photoshop is driving me crazy! SAI crashes if I open CS3 along with it, so I always have to close it. If that wasn't annoying enough, I always have to open CS3 around 5 times before it detects pen pressure!

Progress pics of cging from the last few days (lines= 5 hrs? I had to change her hair SO many times. Also her eyes, I did it three times. And the decoration on her chest took me a long, long time).

First I lineart my sketch with the pen tool in black (or brush tool in CS3). Then I check smoothness of the lines over a darker colour (easier to see gaps idk why).

Then I usually like to export to photoshop for magic wand + picking base colours. Then back to SAI for first level, second level, third level, high lights and low lights (I find the colour wheel very useful at this stage). I like doing eyes in CS3 because of the pen tool- gives very sharp, precise edges^^

Here I've added in the other shades, but the gold looks like it needs to be darker since I changed my layer to a special effects layer on SAI. I probably need to fix the hair highlights and stuff. I also need to soften/ blur the shadings for the hair together. If you compare to the last pic, I've erased a bit of the skin shading so it doesn't look as harsh.

I added in a little background plan-- so it's very likely going to be petals. Megurine Luka FTW.

(several hours later)

I didn't end up softening her hair... but I made a crappy bg to go with it. I fixed the gold and the shading in her hair.

You can't really see the difference here. Oh well. I drew new petals.

After another two months, this picture is closer to completion! Added in some effects and background in photoshop and finished first level shading. The effects are so distorted I'm thinking BRS doesn't need much more deeper levels of shading.
