My very first freehand from the past almost two decades, scribbled it at dawn, after ten hours of work just to see where the lines take me. I learned that I really enjoy drawing hair strain by strain.
Here's a 3 hour drawing of Haru and Legoshi having a moment. I just love this panel from volume 17. Great read - Beastars - go check it out. There's definitely mature content in there, you have been warned.
This was done with oil pastels in a technique known as Sgrafitto, as part of a 100 day challenge on Instagram. I scratched the black paint off with a chop stick. Worked like a treat, so I'm planning a bigger piece with that technique.
"Mythical Creature" (2022)
Another mythical animal created in Procreate. Repurposed a palm tree from an earlier piece. It is overworked and I grew tired tinkering with it. Might be in the book I have been encouraged to produce.
