Here is the drawing I think at least is good enough to make a post. This work presents a weird drawing method I had for a long time, using very light opacity brush to refine every line and creating small shadings between lines and surfaces. 

After the previous post, I've been working on rendering a more complex painting. So far...actually...not very promising. It's very possible that I'll make another illustration pack from my older works for this month. *facepalm* But I'm giving a small hope to continue on and will try two more days.

And I owe an explanation to you all, about why I'm turning back to do paintings. The reason is simple though: I was losing more patrons when no painting was being made. Ideally, I plan to spend 1-2 weeks of every month to do one painting, and the rest for drawing/making concepts/preparing for my original project. So the first task right now is to get a reliable process of making paintings and keep improving. And my wish for the next year is that I can finally create in a stable schedule. I literally won't have the chance to be an independent creator without you guys, thank you all so much for the supporting ;o;

距上次發文又隔了幾週，這中間我都還是在學怎麼畫好灰階，是說有時我會先丟一些過程或失敗的實驗結果在推特，但內容太潦草不太適合曬在P專...

這張線稿...應該還可以拿來曬在這邊吧。總之我已經一陣子沒有用這招畫線稿了，基本就是用透明度高的筆刷慢慢處理每一條線，而每條線基本上都會帶著一點陰影，有點像是從線稿過度到平塗的感覺，我好幾年前都用這招處理線稿；但說實話，它就是讓線稿變好看而已，對彩稿幫助不大，對畫漫畫也是毫無幫助，畫這種線稿的目的說到底真的就只是圖一個爽字。

另外我已經浪費至少三天在試著幫它上灰階，目前成效還是不彰，總之在這個月結束之前假如完成不了它的灰階，我就...會再做個舊彩稿的插畫包分送給各位(限兩鎂會員)。

為何我這個月又繞回來學畫灰階稿？原因其實很簡單，因為...前兩個月我的贊助人數掉得有點快orz目前我想得出最能夠兼顧贊助人數與繼續精進畫技的法子也很單純，就是...繼續學怎麼畫彩稿。但我還是會優先考量所學的方式是可靠而且能夠穩定成長的畫法，死胡同走多了真的不想再為了貪一時方便抄小路(拋掉基礎養成奇怪習慣的意味)。我理想中的每月排程是花一到兩週完成一張彩稿，剩下的幾週則排給畫線稿/概念設計/準備自創內容；因此目前最需要解決的自然還是彩稿的問題，哪天我終於知道怎麼畫出彩稿，哪天我就終於能按照排程過日子了(淚目)

今年要是我沒開Patreon的話，我很可能沒機會再繼續鞭策自己學習與改進在基礎層面上碰到的問題，因為也差不多到彈盡糧絕的地步，再下一步不是進公司畫手遊向量圖要不就是畫同人官能無腦漫了(我不太排斥當後者就是惹)。總之十分感謝願意在此予以支持的各位...！讓我多撐了一年，而且奇蹟般地學到了很多...！
