Two more pages to the collection! Spice affectionately looks down onto her phone's screen (what's all the ba-bumpin' about?), and Sweet's delightful self is expressed in the form of delicious dessert! What's so funny, I wonder? Nothing like youthful exuberance....
Another trio of sisters in uniform on a walk together- this time, on their way home! School's out, and summer's in for our chan friends. I wonder what they'll be up to? Interestingly, I completed this one week from the last one. Cool!
Gotta get 'em done! I actually finished the Grid Chan letter page at 3AM. Squares galore, I had to do something with a grid pattern. I could have easily done a grid paper pattern, but as you may notice, I'm not exactly the best at making those. But I do like this purple square pattern! I even have washi tape like that!
Later in the day, I finally finished the third and final werm mini I needed to do. Happy to say they liked it! A very peculiar looking character to draw, indeed!
Okay, maybe that's not what you call it. Could also be journal paper! Diary paper! Postcard paper! But it makes me think of letters, so I dub them so. Don't they look so cute? I even made the quotes up myself! Two of three done today!!
I started to feel weary, what with rushing to draw the last Chans image and having these minis to get to. This fella with a rainbow of colors and two complex types of patterning was out to get me! I'm glad I got him done- and thought I'd done a good job- but the person I made it for didn't seem to feel that way. Ah... it was only for some items, too...!
It feels like kids these days are staying in school for longer and longer. What happened to those coveted summertime days, where a kid could go out and play and not worry about summer school? That's how you get an academically burned-out adult like me! In the realm of the cartoon, however, that doesn't really matter.
Three cutie Chan sisters on their way to school- the best of the lot, I'm sure! So studious and well-dressed, except, one's lagging behind on her phone... being smart doesn't stop you from acting your age, you know?! Especially when you're a blushing teen girl....
Oh, and I also drew someone's werm today while listening to some Vinesauce. I felt like the spooky game he was playing went well with this fella's sharp teeth and sneaky eyes! A memorable moment in time!
Just as it says on the tin- two drawings of a user's cute little werm! I actually owed this user some art for a while, but with all the things that happened earlier this year, I've gone scatterbrained. I'm very grateful that they still wanted artwork from me, and so I made them not one, but two little pieces for them to enjoy. They seemed to be very pleased, so I'll call this a success! Yaaay!!!
Look upon the glory that is this- Sake Chan! The second fan-chan I ever created, she has existed for a long (nearly) two years without a single image past the sketching phase to her name (although, she hasn't had one of those either). I decided to complete this image in honor of creating that new Tea Chan image. The pair can live in the modern day now! Yaaay!!!
Here, Sake is holding two old-school futons. As the innkeeper, she makes sure that everything is clean and ready for the next traveling guests who come along. It's a bit of tiring work, but it's worth it for the stories and artifacts they'll often bring!
Yes, yes, I know- when was the last time I drew a comic? Maybe like, two years ago... eheh. But hey, look! I made one! This was in return for my own request being completed. I loved it so much, it was only fair I did a request in return! That's how it goes!
The idea I was given was Clipboard losing a button... I ended up having her lose two. Done in two days, I really like how these came out. Inspiring, don't you think so? The bubbles are definitely a nice touch!!
Happy Maid Day! At least when I began drawing this, it was Maid Day (May 10th) in Japan. This micro-holiday comes from a pun on the way the date is read- first, you have the English name for May, then one of the pronunciations for 10, 'do'. Together it's May-do, or 'meido'!
I decided to draw my fan-chan, Tea, for this special occassion. For a while I had wanted to draw her with a frilly apron, because it would be SO. CUTE. And I was right! This is probably her first finished piece aside from her reference, which was made in November 2021. That's nearly three years ago! Don't you think she's gotten such a nice glow-up? Happy for her!! Yaaayyy!!
I got some pretty awful news the past day or so. I felt so distraught, it took some early morning drawing to music to get me to become a snotty mess. The days are becoming brighter, the sunshine warmer, the sky bluer, and yet, to be given such horrible news...
So I drew in blue, I believe even the same hue for all three. I really love drawings where there's a bright, blue sky, white clouds, and darker, desaturated shadows. I'm not very good at colors, or shading in general at that, but it's how I tried to express myself. The first piece was done by drawing shapes using a pixel brush and filling them in. In a field of sunflowers, in the shade.
The next two were later in the day. A quick one as I rang that song out again. Shapes! And the last, something a lot happier. A nostalgic mix of memories- a wall of cool concrete, a shade dappled with spots of sunlight, trees blooming with little white flowers and little brown birdies. Together, talking, playing, enjoying each other... a youth that never ends.
Afterwards I drew over the sketches I made at the end of last year of Marijuana and Weed. They sorely need some up-to-date refs, and I feel like this image does not depict them the way I want them to (wack proportions aside, Marijuana has a cyclops thing going on and Weed looks a bit too baby to me). I pumice to draw them an appropriate image each one of these days!! If Tea (and currently in the works, Sake) can get a spiffy image to their name, so can they!
That night I spent some time with my best friend. While we were watching a video on the history of the DelRay Misfits, I suddenly became inspired to draw something. Ta-da! A super cool Rabies brimming with that high school flair... hehehe!! Just kidding!
