This is a super long post, so buckle in and enjoy the ride! I’ve written down all the feelings and things I’ve wanted to know about the iPad for an artist, so hopefully this can help you! I remembered when the iPad first came out, I thought it would be absolutely amazing to be able…
Copic Sketch Marker Colour Chart
Let me jump straight into the meat of this post and give you the copic sketch marker colours that I currently have: I recently bought a few more, so I think this chart will change in the future. I’ll update in the future again later! I’ve been really lazy with swatching since I had the…
Is photoshopping traditional pieces cheating?
Oof! Sorry for the late night post. Today has been a wild one. Have you ever scanned in traditional pieces and thought, “Oh I really want to edit this to make it look better?” I’ve been struggling with this. On one hand, I want the piece to reflect the true version of itself and be…
Arteza Real Brush Pens First Impressions
I’ve been feeling some feels lately, and I have a hard time putting these feelings into words. I apologise for such solemn images in this post. Maybe you can detect the feelings? I’ll be curious to see your reactions. In times like feelings, paint it out! BUT ANYWAYS I will talk about how I have…
Paper is mightier than watercolours
Very rarely, sometimes, just sometimes, you get what you need done 98% of what you were aiming for. I feel like this piece is what I’ve accomplished– something that I wanted to put into paper. As you see above, we are done now and there’s no more need to continue writing: it’s a masterpiece. We…
how to draw an ow- I mean how to copic
Okay please bare with me today. I actually like the extra more than the featured image, but I’m going to blame it on the fact that I was distracted during the final crucial moments and not at all that I shouldn’t have been lazy at the end. To entice you to keep reading, I will…
Urban paintings and little ghouls
Don’t you just hate it when you sharpen a pencil 25098235612351x and each time, the lead breaks right before you get it to a good sharp point? I swear that these pencils get shorter from broken lead more than from use. (╬ಠ益ಠ) I swapped to a different sharpener halfway through thinking it was the sharpener doing…
Applying washi tape to copic markers
A lot of artists I admire on Instagram have this beautiful idea of using washi tape in their piece. I’m not quite sure how they were doing it, but I wanted to try tackling it. I originally drew this piece for Sleepy Mia‘s Magical Girl Challenge, but I missed the deadline. So I changed the…
Continuation of uncomfortable worlds
I DID IT. FAM. I have created a piece with the Gansai Tambi that I actually like! This was Torianne’s #DrawThisInYourStyle challenge piece that I wanted to try. I stumbled across Tori when I was on Twitch one day, and I fell in love with her deliberate line weight and love for traditional mediums. Before…
Experimentations
This was my first attempt at using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours on a 100% cotton fiber hand-made/ 300 gsm/ 100% post consumer waste paper. When I was painting this, I had no clue how each component reacted: the watercolours nor the paper, and I had thought that it looked absolutely awful at first. But over…
