in December. On Patreon, I only upload once on Monday 25th. You get Patron-only illustrations and a time-lapse for Blue. Good time for Xmas gifs.
I take a break but I still post art on Twitter.
The next Monday post is a timelapse, only for the BLUE tier.

This is the last doujin I made for 2023. I will start making it again in 2024 with Kronii.
I will share my thoughts after making doujin for a year.
I can say I don't like it.
Mostly because I don't have enough time to do all this. 2 weeks is lacking. I used the first week just to imagine/ write the story and sketch and the second week I tried my best to finish it. I think I can make the poses better but I need to redo the page to make sure it fits. I ended up not redoing it ...

I have nothing to say this time. I think it's better to save what I'm thinking now for next Monday.
Next Monday's post will be the Coco final doujin.

I'm not going to make doujin for all Hololive characters. Next year, I will likely choose Kronni, Korone, Calli, and Marine. Kronni with her personality and ability to control time, has doujin potential. Krone is a dog, well you "know". Calli and Marine, I have an idea ab...

I'm trying to perfect the grayscale technique. it really makes coloring easier to do. For example, it usually takes 3-5 layers to color hair, but now I only need two layers. Still, maybe I'll find a better way next month.
The next Monday post is a timelapse, only for the BLUE tier.
At first, I tried painting it a flat color but it didn't suit my style. I looked the other way and found that 'greyscale' was an easier way to go. I color it all in gray and add a color layer on top.
The next doujin will be on Monday, November 13. (final part)

Twitter polls will be different now and in the future. I mostly only have one pic idea but I try extended it to two more pic, so I can practice "consistency" when I draw in a week. i started getting burned out just keep trying making 3 pic from one idea continuously.
Next Monday's post will be the doujin.

I will add the color for the Doujin this time. No deep color just flat color. IDK or sure what I'm doing but if the result is not good maybe I will undo the color.

I try to make it smooth this time. No "Chlark" texture.
Another thing I want to tell you is that the intense heat during the day, made me feel sick. I draw a lot so I draw at night to avoid the PC from overheating and now I do not get enough sleep or can't take a nap during the day either. I don't want to draw too long for the mom...

Change the plan, I do not remake the previous doujin. I think trying to make a "continuation story" is better for the future doujin project. It helps me not to make an 'all-new scenario' story every single doujin and want to do a storyboard or test my storytelling.
The next doujin will be on Monday, October 16.
I need to illustrate more about the interactions between the two characters.

Because I draw Shylily, I use the opportunity to draw water surfaces. Colors of reflected light can be tricky. I think it's not good enough. So, I only draw two pics and don't have much idea, That's why the third one is different.

Important things I want to say:
This was my first attempt at drawing three characters in one pic. At first, I had assumed that drawing this would be a complex task. However, I found that it was not difficult to accomplish with the help of an art composition. The visual appeal of artwork is heightened by the composition, It has a "flow".
Next Monday's post will be the doujin.

About the next doujin. I try to remake the B-job doujin but I think the story is weak. I had difficulty making that story attractive, so I alter it. The story's flow remains "similar" and add a T-job at the end.

For the 4 doujinshi left. I decided to make a remake of what comic I had made previously. I don't need to figure out a new story and I can add new things to it or add more l3wd positions. I also want to try light coloring for one of the comic remakes.
I am still not sure which one to remake first. I will decide later.
The next doujin will be on Monday, August 21st.

I tried creating a barn background for the last image (the one without the cows) but I can't complete the environment. I should just add a rough color on it, idk, something is off when I do that.
I drew something else (rkgk/other on Twitter) to refresh my mind but nothing came to my mind about the barn.
I run out of time so I give up :( the barn idea.
Don't have an extra pic, just a sketch inside of the barn. Not that interesting to show.

I try in-deep drawing the body, fixing the coloring, and revisiting my old way of color.
About Eyeballs, my previous drawing used just 'dark' eyes and I found out that it feels lacking if I use more color on the pic but It is more suitable with limited color.
Coloring, using shade or shadow, can be difficult. The color change is the way to define the shape of the body (belly, ass, hip, and back body) a bit of red or brown on part of the body can make the thing look different...

Hatching, I like how it turns out and gives a '3d'/shape look at cloth. I also try to color it just with black (on Coco cloth) but feels off/incompatible with hatching.
The next doujin will be about the Amazon position. Upload date on Monday, July 24th.

My family event is done. The good news is I can finish the doujin on time.
The 'extra pic' exemplifies what I mean by 'focusing on the line' for the next doujin. It looks okay without a tone, I may also try hatching.
Next Monday's post will be the doujin.

Until now I am still not sure about the doujin page looks. It seems I add too much tone to it. For the next doujin, I will use less tone and focus on the line art.

I try to do a background and I draw it with a pic as a reference. Quick and make it possible to draw but somewhat limited in choice due to the need for a good ref pic of what I am looking for. I think the best way to study and draw a background is to mimic a real pic first.

After I thought about changing to fewer pieces of artwork, to increase quality. I decided to wait until I finished the Kiryu Coco doujin. After I finish it, I will have the opportunity to change or re-schedule. Better change it all at one time instead of bit by bit.

Idk about the alt pic, it definitely helps me save time. Just draw only one pic and "copy-paste" it multiple times with a bit of altering each of pic but I don't think that will help me improve. For me, the only way to improve is to keep drawing new things. 2023-05-14 19:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Besides all this, I had a problem. I slowly improved the detail in the artwork but it requires more time to work now. I usually take two days for each pic to draw and I feel that is not enough time if I want to add a background (something like lying on the bed, etc) or I was unable to learn to draw a background.
What I trying to say is I can't keep up with improving quality and keep the quantity the same (making 3 artwork). Making one good-quality pic maybe require a week to...
