Commission update

Oh hi there, I almost forgot about this little blog! 

We were at Anime Los Angeles (for the first time!) few weeks ago, it was very last minute notice so I was in a rush trying to prepare enough stuff for the con.  It was a great convention and everyone was so nice and friendly, I think we are likely to return next year :)  

These past few days I was working on two ACEO commission pieces, these were done in watercolor and colored pencils (fun!) and because the clients gave me a good description on what kind of illustration they want, the composition and design just came to me naturally.  

I have another commission I gotta work on, so I will update again when it's finished!

more doodle

Over the weekend I had more practice on the watercolors and since I was going for a softer look I think this sample came out nice :)

I kept forgeting to take photos of the progress, so I set a timer this time!!

 

 

I also tried drawing a Game of Thrones fanart, but because I have never watched the show I only drew what I know...I think her name is Daenerys? I like her because she's pretty XD

  

 

 

Raikou Commission

I did this during the Anime Expo weekend, finally got some time to blog about this!

It's a Raikou, one of the legendary beasts from 2nd gen.  I wanted to try a different method on this piece, simply wanted to see if I can get softer look that blends better in the background (I was going for a cloud / smoke look).  So I used watercolor first, got some light colored layers on the back, and then after it's dried I added the colored pencil for refine and detail.

ACEO practice

I decided to give ACEO (Art card editions and originals) a try, using watercolor pencils.

I haven't touched watercolor for a while, lately I'm doing most of art in computer so it was a bit of challenge, but I just love how soft the colors are and I will definitely keep practice this until I get a hang of it :)
