First artwork of the year!!~~ woot wooooot--
I personally wish I could've spent my time on something obv new year themed...but in sight of an art contest, that had to wait(still dk if i will make a new years work tbh oops)
J-LIST's service mascot Megumi!!! And 2 of them AAAAA~~ ^-^
for this years MIMS2019, 10 winners will win USD$200, and another 5 will win USD$100 in store credit!! wish me luckkkkkkkk~~~ ;_;

blog.jlist.com/megumi-in-my-st… is where you can find her body reference, obviously I decided to play a little more with her hair ehhehehe~~
After I drew the head of the megumi on the right I couldn't help but just draw another one for the fun of it ahhahaha...practice for hairstyles xddd
I never really draw buns all that often so drawing twin buns(idk the actual name if they have one) was extra interesting
Overall though I drew this in a classroom-ish setting for practice with backgrounds and lighting...I hate it when I don't know where my painting is going and as a result the light is completely off and stuff doesnt look right AHAAHHA~~
so thank fuc i knew exactly what to do for this one!!!

Also coloured their hair completely differently from the method that I usually use...also discovered that for stuff like hair and things like the camera which are extra shiny...I colour the light FIRST before the dark bits unlike the collar, uniform, etc...somehow helps SO much with light source positioning xd
BTW thank the fucking brilliance that is overlay blending...ive been underutilising it and i finally realise how truly amazing it is!!!

I also realised something really interesting with my past artworks over the course of 2018...
When I first started drawing I used to draw a whole bunch of action-ish works, stuff like moving swords, flames bursting everywhere, and mad fx everywhere that did not belong...
...then as the year progressed I started drawing more scenery-like works with equally mad fx everywhere that did not belong AHHAHAHAHHA
I would like to do more action scene illustrations again...stuff with a setting quite opposite to quiet, peaceful ambience such as this...?

A small little something I discovered as well...regarding knowing your skill level and how well you know your paint tool ^ ^
(am i tooting my own horn?)
artists who are new tend to mess around with random settings and simply keep experimenting till they think in their mind "looks cool ill keep it"...there is NOTHING wrong with this trust me ehhehehe~~i encourage you to keep at it especially if you want to know your paint program better
however, there comes a point in time where said experimenting simply indicates you truly dont understand your program and its various functions...one simple example is fucking around with blending modes endlessly until you notice the colour that you want, without actually understanding what said mode did!!~

once you do things with an intention, a goal in mind, and are able to pull it off seamlessly as you understand what each of your actions mean...there is nothing left to do but improve!!

I hope you're happy, I will never stop
