April was a kind of busy month for me. But I did manage to get in some practice doing things I’m just not used to, and start focusing a little more on working from imagination. So let’s play catch-up in one mega, mostly chronological post: A speedpaint done exploring some new things I’d learned about …
I have a livestream channel, and last night I livestreamed a sketch! (You can watch it here) Which sounds a bit dirty but in truth, all I did was record a video of me drawing. Referenced from a photo. My big challenge with this was that I tried to limit it to four values only. …
happy belated February 29! Quick paint. Quicker to do than the previous Pirate Princess piece, but much tighter and fewer messy impressionist-y strokes.

Most of the art I’ve been making lately hasn’t been for public viewing. But here’s some stuff I can show — Concept for a poster for Manafumi’s Japan tour, World Colours. I kind of like the abstract mix of colours, but this idea wasn’t suitable. I tried experimenting with a more standardised bishounen look for this, …
