Edit: Just realised today (Oct 22) is the second anniversary of The Apothecary Diaries anime. Didn't mean to time this post to (almost) match it but it just happened. Nice coincidence. 🙂 We're back baby! Finally. Sort of. After that Miyamura sketch for Inktober Day 7, life and things kept me away from art for … Continue reading Inktober Day 8 – Maomao from The Apothecary Diaries
I wasn't planning to write a blog post today. Wanted to sketch originally but after doing laundry, dishes and cooking on the same day, I'm quite beat. Thought I'd just crash early (barely got any sleep last night and couldn't catch a nap either with all the chores and work) but then saw this tweet … Continue reading Boredoms – Vision Creation Newsun
I haven't sketched or written anything since Friday last and one cause for this is a sleepless night that's started an avalanche of sleep deprivation that continues still. It happened on Saturday, October 11. That's the day Alliance Francaise de Madras (AFM) was holding their third annual La Nuit Blanche (The White Night aka The … Continue reading La Nuit Blanche – A Sleepless Night
First up, sorry for the late post. I drew this 2 days ago (a day late already per the Inktober schedule) but couldn't get around to writing about it till now. Period cramps and all that. Anyway, if you hadn't guessed already from the hint in my previous two posts, for the Inktober Day 6 … Continue reading Inktober Day 6 – Miyamura from Horimiya
(Ok, before I start the actual post, need to vent here about the terrible mobile web interface of WordPress. Where on earth have they hid the new post button?? Spent a good 5 mins rooting around and couldn't find it at all. Was about to give up idea of writing on phone altogether when I … Continue reading Goodbye little roach friend
Just a quick post to say there won't be an inktober post today. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I got tied up with some cooking all evening and couldn't find the time to do the sketch I'd planned. Didn't want to half ass it since I have a good one in mind for that … Continue reading Inktober break – Be back soon
So, like I said yesterday, I decided to interpret the prompt for Day 5 a bit creatively. The prompt was 'Deer' and I had a hard time finding deer in the anime I've watched. Meanwhile, Secrets of the Silent Witch ended the day before and I was bummed about it not getting a season 2 … Continue reading Inktober Day 5 – Secrets of the Silent Witch
The good drawing run continues! For day 4's sketch, I decided to follow along with this excellent YouTube tutorial. When it comes to things like drawing, cooking, or any kind of art, really, I get the best results when I'm following instructions. Quite ironic, no? I am just a copycat, no originality. Still, the nature … Continue reading Inktober Day 4 – Endeavor from My Hero Academia
Slowly starting to get better at this drawing thing again. Today's is finally a sketch I'm not ashamed of. I didn't quite get his face shape right and he therefore doesn't look as beautiful as Rikachi sensei makes him look always, but it is still a pretty decent drawing of a recognisably human face and … Continue reading Inktober Day 3 – Sett from Nina the Starry Bride
First up, apologies for the awful drawing. I tried to do something new - used those oil pastels I mentioned yesterday - and I failed big time. Not sure if I'm supposed to, like, sharpen them or something? They were like perfect cylinders and so very hard to control. The image itself isn't terribly exciting, … Continue reading Inktober Day 2 – Your Name (2016)
