About the skeb situation

I'm happy to report that we've been getting a few requests! However, I was a little surprised to find that most of the requests I'm getting are for NL horses.

Since I drew BL horses first, I thought it would be a reverse pattern.

So the new full-color Divine horse pictures that are being updated are usually all NL.

I'd love to draw more BL Divine horse, so if you'd like me to draw more full-color Divine horse, please feel free to ask skeb. Strangely enough, people have been asking me for color, but of course I'm open to black and white illustrations too!

I do this in parallel with my work and private commissioned manga work, but I feel like I'd like to take skeb more casually, both as a way to relax and as a fun way to get in touch with people's sexuality.

―――――――――――

A difference drawing of a spine that disappeared when I added tattoo tones.

I really miss seeing people drawing this level of male body in TL.

I've often been told that my manga has too much information and is difficult to read, so I'm trying to cut down the elaborate tone of the shoujo manga to the shounen manga level, and try to make it complete in black and white. I think it's much easier to see.

Also, I've started using a pen with a strong ink pool and scuff marks, so I can get more expression on the screen and not make it too flat even if I draw in a hurry.

But honestly, I want to draw with lines like this all the time! Because it's beautiful... please look at it in full size. The lines are shiny and smooth. Even though I've shifted to completely digital drawing, I still want to have analog lines.

What I bought with my support money

Thank you for your support! I bought an ipad with my support money before, but I chose a smaller one to try it out first.

And I've been drawing pictures of the divine horse, and while I've been using it in that way, I've felt that it's really good, so...

Fifth generation iPad Pro 12.9, I bought it!

I'm so grateful for this update, which was only possible because of the supporters already. The performance of the latest model and M1 chip is amazing, and I can open all my commercial-sized comic files without any delay at all. It's amazing.

This is how I drew all the comic images I mentioned earlier. I can draw more delicate lines with it than with a pen-tab...

In recent years, it is becoming more and more common to complete an entire comic on an iPad.(I saw an interesting video about this recently, which I'd like to talk about in my next post.)

It's really fun to draw with. For those who are just starting to draw, I would definitely recommend this 5th generation 12.9, even though the price is outrageous. After all, "a big screen + no processing drop" is very important.
