like a deer caught in the headlights ...is probably what describes me best in like... May? I think I took a lot of break in April so when I back to reworking some stuff in May, I got overwhelmed, hahaha. Anyway, hi! June already, huh. I did some drawing that I wanted to execute in May, but I guess I got drained way too much to the point I skipped writing the monthly log hahaha, so! I did say I don't really wanna draw concept art again for awhile, especially that I did a lot of bulk drawing in 2020. But. yeah, I still have some leftover that I have to do. Working on a single or two characters somehow can be done in a day or so, but, hahaha, it's been awhile since I draw a batch, so my energy mostly sapped out in this piece. I'm glad I'm done with it, though! As per usual, I gotta ramble about this one once I'm done with the last batch, on the writing journal. Now, I just... want to draw... other breather things... The breather!! Thing!! No, actually it's last year doodle, but since this kiddo's birthday was on May, so I thought it would be nice to give this as a present for my friend (whose kiddo above is hers) and give it some finishing with effects and so on as my stress release from drawing the concept art. Lately, it's been a blast on doing the finishing process, so I'm kinda enjoyed it more than actually thinking in the coloring process, ha haha... I kinda want to get better on this, though! and I quite like how this turns out. Dabbling with pink color is not really my forte, but I guess I'm proud with this one. Also, yes, speaking of birthday, I did my share of the birthday sketches here: Not much kids who have birthday in May! But I probably cry around these months since June and July is... well, packed. Usually, I just go along with what my hand scribbles when drawing the birthday sketches, so yeah, it's not that interesting. But, for His, I think I kinda want to try drawing her as a warm up for the serious piece below. FINALLY! BOI!! WE'VE REACHED THE FOURTH PIECE OF THE SERIES!! Only one last piece to do and whew, things indeed lighter in the long run. When thinking about the concept for the Back Alley group, I always have this... kind of image that Wei stands the farthest while Darius and Tad on each side. The very first thing I have as an image is probably something like the first Guilty Kiss single cover with Wei sitting in the dumpster (yes, the dumpster is the important thing, thank you), in the back alley, of course. However, I had difficulties in what angle should I tackle it, considering I already draw the last two pieces with the low angle. It was not until I saw the latest Fuyuko card in ShinyMas that I became aware with the forced perspective. I wanted to draw it that way, so here it is. Looking at the reference for this pieces is really a field trip for me, from the costumes, the forced perspective photos, the back alley itself, and yeah, thanks to Moistcr1tikal garbage truck tier list, that also gives me references for that green dumpster. At first, I just wanted to make this one as the other three, by slamming random brushes as the BG. But since it wouldn't do and wouldn't work like the others, so yeah, I drew the BG as well. For the lighting, red is something that I want to work on from the get go, and at first I want to do more blatant red and blue juxtaposition, but... it ended up turning purplish HAHAHA but at least it's not as purplish as the last one, gladly. DOING THE LIGHTING AND THE FINISHING WAS FUN. Man, I forgot when was the last time I really had a blast like this in working a key visual huhuhu. Actually there was another serious art I did in May, supposedly, but I end up took my time a lot in gaming and tweaking the code for potterverse page (good grief it looks uniform and presentable now, at least), so I think I will shift it into this month. At least I did some random doodles about grandson to mitigate that. Mitigate what. Come to this month, since it's June, it's kinda inevitable on what I want to draw in this month, I mean, see above.
This month is.. basically no thoughts head empty... except for the sketch above and the one drawing that I didn't do on May. I kinda want to try a new workflow by sketching as much as I can and then actually executing the pieces that I want to execute, instead of doing that pieces per pieces, since I get drowsy easily and lately, it's really hard for me to start something from the scratch instead of continuing what's left. Guess that's all! I hope I didn't skip a month again haaha due to my lethargic state orz. Comments are closed.
