I feel like my art looks like a gazillion times better since I’ve adopted this technique. I saw this advice from a YouTube video(sorry I don’t recall the creator…) who mentioned one common beginner mistake is to have the same line thickness. Of course he was talking about digital art buuuut this can easily be applied to traditional illustration. If you look at my before: My lines are all the same thickness so I think my current work looks better. The nice thing is I can always go over older pieces I deem worthy to update the line work.

Jigoku Usagi(crossover art)
Another fan art crossover of Hell Girl(Jigoku Shoujo) and something else. In this installment, it is Usagi Tsukino, better known as Sailor Moon. I am liking this more than Jigoku Miku. Perhaps it’s the moon background. Anywho, which crossover from Hell will I create next? Mwuhahahahaa– *chokes on leek*

The importance of failing as an artist
Oh hello dear stranger reading. Recently I went to my local flea market to sell my art goods. Here’s how amazing I did– Okay, by the title of this post, I’m sure you can tell I sold nothing. So I’m not going to sit here and play pretend. I did pick up some tidbits of information that I’d like to share though. Keep your expectations low. Why? If you anticipate completely failing to sell a thing, you’ll be surprised if you do sell and happy that you were wrong, and if you’re right– well you won’t feel as bad as a bright-eyed hopeful. This is not to say sabatoge…

Sailor Saturn Chibi Watercolor
Dear mother of pearl! Oh hi there you. It dawned on me yesterday that I can’t find any of my larger point illustration pens in size .5 or .8. I can’t outline in 0.05 or less. So I thought, why not try outlining in the acrylic paint? Seems like something to try. Lo and behold, a bit of water and a size 4 paintbrush works wonders. I like the flow of the brush, slightly wet with water rather than it being purely saturated with acrylic paint. Some watercolor has been added! Hotaru is completed~ I must say this giddiness is more Chibi-usa than Hotaru but I like…

Always make time for art
Always. I work full-time. 10 hour shifts. I work out in the morning before work. It can be difficult t find the time to draw. I usually do it after work before bed. I know, I’d much rather watch YouTube or something. But I still make time for what matters– my sketchbook. Late night sketches in between 10 hour shifts. An art freeb offer that I made for an art freebie forum. I still like bumbling on Gaiaonline. Though it’s pretty dead to most people I know. Man, the hay day of ’09 where TONS of people were on the site. They just HAD to nuke themselves by poor management…
