I'm looking into recording more full processes and sharing them here! So as a start, I thought I'd get into painting and talking at the same time a little more :) I feel it would become incredibly dry and repetitive if I were to just explain the t...

Remember I mentioned a couple months back that I was going to sketch a lot more? The schedule hasn't let up so I haven't had the time to really get into it... Still I'd like to show some sketches I've done so far! I've been sitting on the...

Hey everyone, the process walkthrough is up for this set! It's quite a bit of new territory that I've covered in this series, so feel free to listen in on how challenging it was :) As always, these are as much a sharing and instructional video as ...

It's been a little bit since the last set! These are as challenging as always - picking and creating an interesting story, finding a good composition for the opening frame, and balancing things so they flow reasonably.
This time I went with...

It was fun to create an alternate design for her after all this time!
As a figure design there were some considerations to try and make things a little more flowy, hence the larger coat and let down hair! And to contrast the heavier coat, I th...
Just like for the other process walkthrough this month, my voice couldn't quite make it so we're back to the old format just for a bit! I think it's nice that it's more digestible for those who might not have the time for the longer video explanat...

A special rare goody this month just for you guys :)
Clothing and fabric folds have always been a huge pain for me so I thought it might be good to get two birds with one stone this time and make a bit of a concept or revision sheet for you ...

The process steps are up (and very promptly this time)!
We're temporarily reverting back to the format of yore for this month as my throat is still pretty inflamed from flu:( It went away and came back once already so I'm being a little caref...
Ding ding ding *new character time*!
It's been a while since I had this much fun (maybe it was really high time for a new character)!
Something about being free from design constraints, self imposed as they might have been, ha...

A fun set of poses I found and wanted to give it a go painting! This time the color palette is really simple, which is a nice change of pace :) Cloth folds are still a weakness of mine so I'd like to make a video really consolidating what I've lea...

The process breakdown is up! It was a tough set this time, so there are plenty of lessons learnt and a lot of build on. The more "surreal" setup of setting and lighting this time compared to my usual stuff definitely brought me out of the comfort ...

A new set! This one really went through a lot of back and forth between different ideas trying to get them to fit together as well as I can! It ended up taking quite a bit longer than I expected, and some unfamiliar elements were not easy to manag...

Hey everyone, if you recall, Part 1 of my basic character illustration course with Coloso launched at the beginning of this year (time really flies...) - and now Part 2 focusing on 2025-08-05 02:16:48 +0000 UTC View Post
The process breakdown for the latest works are up! I've prepared a bit more of a detailed process steps sheet this time (8/9 steps vs the usual 6!) Since I've struggled a little bit with these pieces, I did some critique and analysis for this vide...

It's been a while since I've been able to draw these two with everything that has been going on, so it's really good to be back :) Thank you all for being so patient and supportive!
It's a nice feeling when as you work on each drawing, you ...

Trying out a new format of video to spice things up just a little! This time we're live painting works that are not yet finished - I think it feels really different to commentate and paint working on something that is still in progress versus goi...

The event is finally done and dusted! I've had the best time speaking to everyone who came and liked my work - given it's Osaka (as compared to Tokyo) and at a ticketed venue, there were surprisingly many people who knew me and had come! It's at t...

The third and fourth pieces of the set, these felt surprisingly relaxing given the intensity of the previous two! The goal here was to almost avoid my usual lighting style so we can make the composition a bit more print-friendly, so I ended up fig...

The second and also really hard piece of the set to draw, this one also took quite a bit! I had warmed up a lot from the first piece, but I was also fatigued by it... 😂This time I was able to keep the explanation to 20 minutes though :)

The first and toughest of the set to draw, this one probably took over a month of drawing everyday! At the very beginning of the video I said I'd keep it to about 20 minutes, but it seems my explanations turned out just as long winded as the drawi...
