Sagiri

Fanart of Sagiri!

I found out about this anime in a (random) Japanese magazine that I bought to browse through on the plane. It sure looks pretty but the age of characters combained with the theme is pretty disturbing ._. I guess, anything is allowed in an anime.

Anyway, I really like the scenes when Sagiri is shown alone in her room, how she's all cheerfull and dancing when drawing. This is exactly how I feel when drawing ^-^ I want to jump from joy! 


You, my lovely Patro...

Hello there! Long time ^-^ How are you all doing? How was Easter break? :)

I'll be making a (reeaaallllyyy) slow comeback! I am so tired... but also soo inspired after coming back! I have a fair bit of sketches to develop that I did in Japan or on a journey, brand new tools to share with you and recommend,  new goals to achieve... :)

It was great to take a break and slow down a little, aaand catch up on sleep as well :)))

Quick sketch as I had no time for anything else lately Q-Q

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your support and see you in 2 weeks! I will try to upload some sketches as I am sure I'll draw a lot (almost 2 days of travelling <one way> ahead!) not so sure about access to the internet...

See you ♥

Shop update

Hi All,

If you are interested I have just shared with you discount codes for my shop where I added all recent drawings ^-^ The shop closes on Wednesday evening ♥

here's the link > ladowska.storenvy.com 

April pack 1 and more new drawings are coming soon!

Shirt

Straight on pen sketch. 

I like fresh looking lines like these and the fact that if I make a mistake there's no coming back. It's interesting to compare with the previous post where sketch was done in pencil, the lines are tired, repeated multiple times, erased, amended, drawn again.... and usually at the end I don't like the result as I spent an hour and it's still only a sketch. Tho one above took less than 5 minutes.

Never look back

Actually, both living in the past and rushing forward without looking back are bad in my opinion.

Lunch break sketch touched up digitally at 2am. Why not.

It's bigger actually and I want to redraw it in the future ^-^

Important Information

Or maybe not so much important but I needed a catchy title. I recommend reading as there will be some changes this month ^--^

1. March packs and surprises are comming soon, as promised will be sent out on or before 7th, all on a good way!

2. This month, for a test, I will upload a finished pack once it has been finished, so you won't have to wait the whole month to get it. Two reasons to it, I want to test it, see if it's gonna make me more consistent with work so I don't leave all editi...

March Pack 3

March Pack 3 is now completed!

Rewards for all March packs will be sent on or before 7th of April, after the payments clear out. 

What was new for me to try out were: watercolours, short animations and recording one of the videos in ultra high quality - 2k ^o^

I will keep working hard, thank you so so much for your support ♥

Yawn - animation

Another animation test.

Drawn frame by frame on paper, scanned and animated in Photoshop. 20 drawings, 50 frames.

I didn't record the process because no one would watch all day long video, hahaha! But I will share with you all scanned drawings and a layered PSD file ♥

Haru

I was tempted to do it in watercolours but I haven't touched Copics in a while too... Such a dilemma! Next one will be in watercolours (maybe :D ).

I recorded colouring in 2k, yay! If it doesn't kill my poor PC when editing (it's in 19 pieces as the limit to record 2k on my device is 5min)  - I will try to share with you full 2k video!

This is the last work of March pack 3. There will be no March Pack 4, I will take time to edit videos and images as well as prepare earlier promised ...

Watercolour study

This would be one of my first watercolours. I proably tried some cheap ones in primary school before. This time I actually invested in both paper and watercolours and the difference is huge.

Ani

Mini Animation. I wish I could say it was a "quick experiment" but it was more like 4 hours... All done on paper first, frame by frame, scanned and coloured in Photoshop. No references used, which makes me extra proud haha but I think I need to step back and start copying, to understand animations better actually.

Since my biggest dream is to work in animation, it's good to at least start somewhere :)

Nishimiya (2016)

To complement a sketch of Ishida from yesterday, here's Nishimya that I drew in May last year. That's how long I waited for this movie! Also attached a preview of a new one ^-^

I can't wait for the weekend! I want to work on a tutorial :)

Another film that left me shaking and devastated for days (Koe no katachi). How can animation be soooo goooood!?

I seriously cried in the cinema. And so did all people around Q-Q ( I heard them!)

Anime vs Real

I wonder, which body and in general character type looks more interesting to you, left or right one? 

(Left one is from imagination, right one photo study)

For illustrators there are no borderlines. When you have the pencil you decide what a character is going to look like. However, knowledge of real body proportions and bone structure helps massively to play with body freely in later experimentation stages. The above is not extreme example, they differ only slightly, yet visibly. View Post
