I don't participate in Inktober so my bestie Cysco-Inu and I are doing OC-tober, where we draw our half of our OC couples on various themed dates.

By sheer chance, day two happens to be the twin brother of day 1 and I love that for them :> Day 2 was Kyoji and his themed date was painting with his equally artistic gf. Naturally, he had to dress up as the iconic Bob Ross with his happy accidents and happy trees!

I will say, instead of doing watercolor for my tone, I tried acrylic inks, hoping for a nice reaction with my Copic markers. For one, it didn't and the alcohol ink just pooled on top in a streaky shiny mess, and two, it made the page as stiff as a board, making it near close to impossible to blend my colored pencils. At one point, around 10:30, I watched helplessly as my pencil scraped off all of my shading. This piece absolutely *could* be better but given the obstacles I inadvertently gave myself, I still think the end result turned out cute! I just know now to stick with watercolor tones from now on, haha.

Be sure to check out (at)cyscodoodles on insta for the her half of day 2!

Materials:
-Copic Markers (and one Prismacolor markers)
-Prismacolor Pencils
-Gelly Roll gel pen
-POSCA acrylic paint pens (for the background)
-Strathmore watercolor paper

Time: About 6-ish hours, I created too many problems for myself. But on that note, I'm pretty proud that my time didn't stray too far off even when I had good conditions like day 1!
Art: I drew it! I used a reference of Bob Ross to get his shirt right and to model the palette after. I would like to point out that Bob Ross' iconic palette is clear, but I did not want to suffer any more than I did and slated to make Kyoji's a solid wood. I'm glad I did so, too :')
