Description Sketchdate: 20040221
Freehand aqua-pencils (watercolors pencils and water) 1 hour sketch.

2nd watercolors pic drawn since elementary school, finding own technique is the most enjoyable.. I think watercolors (at least aquapencils) is fun

Anyway, it's my all-time fav Japanese rock band "Bump of Chicken". Listening to their songs while sketching, and somehow turned into a live scene because their sound's very energetic.
Please full-view, I've reduced the original size of the pic.


PS: It's an IMPRESSION, not technical drawing. Cheers!

Nice... unlike your usuals this one has a real sense of space to it. Maybe it's the layering of everything. I like the atmosphere the pencil/watercolors have given it, too. Almost kind of gentle and quiet, compared to the thicker sumi-e pictures. I like it, anyway

Thanks! I painted this (aquapencil and watercolors) back in February, during the early stage of trying to teach myself using those medium... it remains one of my personal favourites.. doubt that I could paint/draw the same thing now lol.

Who knows :3 maybe there'll be another fluke and something even nicer will come out. Guess spontaneity and flukes are what makes good art so good and rare.

I guess I had never seen this one I love the soft colors, and how it seems that there's a slight wind moving over them... maybe the energy of the song, and the crowd and moment..

This is actually the first group painting of BUMP OF CHICKEN that I did (back in February), can you believe it? It's like suddenly, I started to want to draw/paint them and have never stopped since then <- obsessed.

I really like the sketchy feel of it and how you've sort of got some atmospheric perspective going on. Actually, I only have one tiny crit, they sorta have a halo thing going on because the background isn't always painted right up them. I think in this case it works with this piece, but it's one of my pet peeves.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

koony In reply to kc0 [2004-02-23 08:58:09 +0000 UTC]

Okay this is from a thick-er paper but apparently still not thick enough lol (I tend to go extreme and crazy while coloring.. plus finding own techniques). Oh the halo thing is on purpose (err, subconsciously on purpose) because I love sketching motion (or a sense of isolation) in a sketchy way (the only way I love lol) and I find halo somehow give such effect (i do that with my markers sketches too), just personal opinion. But I understand what you brought up there, if it's not in an appropriate mood of the pic, it's best to fill up the halo. Thanks again for the tips

nishikaze [2004-02-22 01:27:17 +0000 UTC]

I LOVE THE COLORS!!! (especially yellow& red in the background, 'cause they add " warmth" to the "cool"colors dominant pic) and it's AQUA PENCIL(again), that's really awesome I don't know how you do so well with watercolor pencils
Meheheh. I love Bump of Chicken toooo!!! The very first song I listened to was "Sailing Day"....just because it was an ending song to One Piece movie. And they LOVE One Piece toooo~!! YAY. Okay, I will shut up now.

koony In reply to nishikaze [2004-02-22 01:44:13 +0000 UTC]

Yuko-san YAY!!!
Thank you! Actually I'm VERY satisfied with this one and it's like a surprise (fluke again lol) because I had NO IDEA what I was doing while sketching/coloring.. sort of like in a trance mode (it happens ALL THE TIME, just different intensity ).. to tell you the truth initially I was sketching a green field as background with blue skies... and then while coloring it just turned out like this, maybe subconsciously I was "balancing" the picture (plus their live energy, affected by their songs lol) without realizing.. hence you see the red and yellow.. can't explain

With the watercolor pencils, I guess I'm more in-tune with "solid" kind of medium, like pens, markers.. more than brushes. So I was a bit lost if just brushing the colors with waters.. I had to err, instinctively picking up the actually aquapencil, dip it into water (don't think it's a "proper" technique lol) and sketched straight with a mix of pencils and brushes.. mostly dominated by the pencils.. it's happenned so quick I could't even remember the sequences of events lol.

Bump of Chicken's AWESOME!! Yah! Sailing Day was great! I thought you might have heard them from One Piece movie heheheh.. I just love their sound, they sound like they're very energetic, passionate, and having lots of fun with their songs.. plus such simple but ingenius melody.. (plus I love that kind of voice ).. and they're ANIME fan and One Piece fan allakjfdaj too!!! Gosh I should be the one who should shut up! Yuko-san can please keep talking ehheheh

OMGSH!!! I THOUGHT I SAW SHANI @_@_@_@ and I was like "wow... but I thought the title said...?"<-- stupid
Just to let you know this pic made me buy Bump of Chicken CD today!!!! Can't listen to it anytime soon cuz my CD player broke after I dropped it on the floor... need to get it repaired...
Store Clerk: "How do you spell it?"
Me: "B.U.M.P.O.F....... ...... chicken..." <-- can't say "bump of chicken" without biting toung/stuttering...

koony In reply to midnightpeppermint [2004-02-22 01:26:20 +0000 UTC]

LOL! I don't blame you, Fujiwara-san (the singer/guitarist) DOES have overflowing Shani-vibe, I was seeing them "in action" ('cause previously only saw two photos of them, the one with them lying on the couch/sitting on the floor playing video games (on their official site), and the other one on the back cover of "sailing day" single.. and back then was already thinking he looked like Shani lol).. but yeah, when seeing their PV (Diamond) for the first time, I literally yelled out "SHANI!!!!! RL SHANI!!!" *0* The "drugged-out" look, the hair coveing (both) eyes , the hair style's kinda Shani-like but it's dark hair), his VERY thin body and the way he walks lol.. PLUS he's got similar kind of voice to Shuni/Shani.. but it's more grown-up and raw and husky? It's like Shuni's too gentle and sweet for the character of Shani (well, bad Shani lol).. where as I can 100% imagine Shani singing and sound just like Fujiwara-san (Bump of Chicken).. the similar rocker-vibe lol.

Heheheheh lol at your store experience.. what a lovely name: BUMP OF CHICKEN
I'm so glad the pic made you bought Bump of Chicken CD!! Wait, is that the Taiwanese version CD? Because it's kind of difficult to purchase the original Japanese release because their earlier stuff were out of stoke even in Japan O_o.. that's a lucky and powerful CD store you got there!.. oh and which album/single did you buy? Can you play the CD on your PC? Go fix the CD player ..

midnightpeppermint In reply to koony [2004-02-22 02:32:42 +0000 UTC]

Yea it's the taiwan version... <-- too poor to buy original Japanese version -_-
I just bought whichever one there is... something like "Singles Collection"? meh I have no idea
So Fujiwara-san is like a rebelliouse version of Shuni?? In my mind Shuni's like a lil angel... (imagining him in his choir clothes + wings v.s. Fujiwara's rocker outfit + tail + horn)... hehe that amuse me

Will get my CD player fixed soon... listeniing to music while using the computer crashes it @_@ I hate my compy...

koony In reply to midnightpeppermint [2004-02-22 02:56:45 +0000 UTC]

Aww lucky! The Taiwanese versions often have more stuff (and WAAAY cheaper), japanese version you'd have to buy EVERY SINGLE SINGLE (lol) individually to get everything, B-sides and stuff. VERY expensive -_-; but too bad when you're obsessed, you're obsessed <- can never save $ err too bad don't have chinese records stores near me. Hmm, when you start listening (or looking at the CD), may be can tell me which tracks are in, you might have songs that I haven't got.. btw do they have photos on the CD booklet?

LOL! Yeah, Shuni's such an angel! (they even named his album Anges).. but hearing him speak seeing him live..just confirm it, an angel! He even wore white colors, with the invisible wings hehe. Where as Fujiwara-san, you just gotta see Diamond PV (or Harujion PV, those are the only PVs I've got.. want to order their DVD PVs..), he's dressing very casually, just t-shirt and jeans (no chains, no make up, no fancy "j-rock" dress).. but WHOA the rocker attitude. He's a little angel too, just with tail and horn lol.

Aww,, not enough ram on your compu then -_-. solution - just listen to music on compu and don't use it <- baka.

I totally understand what you're talking about when you said "having to buy EVERY SINGLE SINGLES" ... cuz w-inds.'s new single is coming out on March 10 @w@ .... I was never one of those singles buying people... but like you said, when you're obsessed, you're obsessed...
Donno if there's pictures in the booklets... cuz I havn't opened it yet < -- likes to look at the booklet only when listening to the CD... to preserve " special feeling" <-- weird person
Casual T-shirts with a WOA rocker attitude!? I'VE GOTTA SEE THAT!!! that reminds me of my teacher... he wears suits and everything and looking like a strict person, but when he starts talking it's like "woa... @_@ is he really a teacher!?"

Did I mention that I'm using a laptop thus sound system isn't good? lol CD player's gonna get fixed tomoro!! and I get to listen to it tomoro

Ah... you'll have to please scan if the booklets got picture onegai onegai onegai
(*nods* understand.. we're AB-aliens)
Actually, I haven't heard Fujiwara talked yet.. just base on the impression I got from his Diamond PV that's all.. but then the way he walked he looked like he's still blur blur half asleep with the sunglasses on and walk in a "gangly" way.. so.. maybe he's just blur and half asleep (hence I said he's got SHANI-VIBE D).. he can seem shy though but I don't know.. and then REALLY energetic when he's singing and playing the guitars, you kind feel worry because he's thinner than a stick.. it's like he's about to break by using so much strength <- blahblahblah .. actually one of my friend's said she's able to upload their two PVs on ther streamload account, so when she's done uploading I'll let you know heheh.
Heh. I like your teacher already .. I wear suits to work too sometimes (well, I dress like a boy all the time),, but with green hair and the "don't bother me" attitude ekkekekek.
