Here’s another drawing using odosketch. Click here for full version.

Here is a quick drawing that I did using the best Flash drawing / sketching application called odosketch by Odopod. Click here to see the full version!

It’s been a while (once again) since I last posted my entry. But only yesterday, I got the time and the urge to finally complete the painting. I attempted to make the lighting more dramatic but didn’t like it. I wanted it to have more colourful and cheerful atmosphere so this was the result.

The painting was done using Corel Painter IX using only acrylics-based media and later retouched in Adobe Photoshop CS2. I tried to make the hair to have more anime feeling, but it didn’t go well with the overall “3d” feeling of the environment, so I drew the hair strands individually and blend it with the base hair colour. It took me 4 weeks to finish this painting, while only effectively worked on it for 40 hours (a week’s worth of paid work… ermm… uh-oh).

I hope you like this one and please let me hear your thoughts. I was gonna say this was my first attempt in painting, but do feel free to criticise as much as you want. Thanks for your patience ^_^

It’s been a while since I posted the last entry. Reason being, I was very busy with lots of unfinished stuff and they’re unworthy of posting. Today, I spent about 8 hours to continue painting Mii-chan Ohayou!, but still 75% towards completion. There’s a lot of mistakes in the painting that I haven’t fixed. But oh heck, I’m posting this anyway just for the sake of posting it. Well, hope you like it so far (the progress..) I promise the end result will have more intensity in it. As always, please feel free to comment, criticize, etc. Thanks ^_^

The previous drawing of Mii-chan in bikini attracted some controversy in a number of forums on which I posted the artwork. Some people say they prefer cute mii-chan than a fleshy one. So here is a new drawing to make up for it LOL. (The title “Mii-chan Ohayou!” literally translates to “Good Morning, Mii-chan!”.) I am going to color it in Corel Painter IX later on, currently still trying to play around with the feel, and to be honest, it’s a really neat piece of software. So, please keep visiting. I hope to complete the coloring before end of this week.

Finally, the style guide for Mii-chan in full figure. I put a bikini style so it hides only as little flesh as possible. I spent about 6 hours in total for both, a lot of corrections especially around getting the proportion that I want. This time the anatomy reference book became my close friend . Well, I keep saying it’s a style guide, but in actuality, to be a style guide it needs to have a proportion measurement. But I was just too keen on seeing the end result and so I removed the guides lol. Well, I hope you like this style too. Please comment and any critics are highly welcome ^_^

I just found a new anime titled “Someday’s Dreamers” and the poster art manga style is very impressive. After some thoughts, I realize I’m still not satisfied with the previous styles that I’ve drawn for Michiko-chan. Seriously, at this rate, I’d never start drawing Michiko-chan for real. So I took a step back and restart from scratch to find another more suitable style. So this is sortof a “style guide” for the new style. It’s just for the face though. Hopefully, I can commit to this style this time. I will be posting the full body style guide by this weekend.

Ugh, took about 4 hours to colour it in, but ended up not liking it. There goes my sunday afternoon, for nothing :’(

I wasn’t feeling well when I drew this. But I just wanna test draw the full height version of mii-chan. It’s kinda weird though, usually I’d go from drawing the full-height version and then the chibi version. But anyhow, the result turns out like this. Please feel free to comment. Any suggestions or critics are highly welcome

Another attempt on chibi Michiko-chan. I kinda like this version better. But what do you think?

Oh yes, click on the image plizz, it’s better. I dunno why, but everytime I uploaded a picture, it just automatically resizes it badly. *sigh*
