I’ve been making some changes on my youtube channel, but ofc been adding captions on each video. If the video is only just myself drawing, I will be adding only a little because it’s just me drawing and not much to talk about. But the other videos where I show you what I’ve been doing, it’ll be fully captioned. We can have a nice cozy chat together :3 I did change the art cover and I’m so happy how it looks. The name Naminé is placed. In Japanese it means “ocean waves” which I do love to see and hear… and one of my favorite character from Kingdom Hearts. (also, thank you for 1,000 views so far on my channel ❤)
And, I won’t be uploading a new video this week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I’ve been drawing and painting the house a lot. These hands doesn’t get a rest, lol. Good thing I’m not shaking. I drew Zoro from One Piece. From the latest update of the manga, Zoro finally meet up with Luffy again at Wano Kingdom (it’s been so long since they last saw each other).
zoro.
I went around a thrift store and saw many cool used stuff but what caught my eyes is this mirror frame from Ikea. It wasn’t open yet but good thing it wasn’t or I wouldn’t be buying this. It was cheap, 20 baht. After purchasing it, I took out the plastic around it and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll frame this on my room. ヾ(¯∇￣๑)
It’s been sunny and rainy but what was amusing to see was the beautiful Blood Moon so up close. Many people took beautiful photos of the blood moon. It was beautiful.
Drawing update:
I continued on drawing another collage, but with just only Aizawa-sensei from the anime My Hero Academia. I did it because I wanted to finish the last section of my sketchbook just filled with this anime/manga. It’s going well, I gotta say.
a collage of Aizawa-sensei.
Gaming:
I also continued on playing Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia on my phone. Recruiting Auron from Final Fantasy X was a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to play him and I finally can! (~_^) (it really is a start of a new story ❤)
recruiting Auron.
Every morning, I would just take a few walks around my garden and see my wonderful sakura tree that my dad placed in the garden a couple of years ago. If the leaves start to fall from the rain, in a week or so, the flowers bloom.
it’s blooming.
I guess that’s it for the end of July, it was a good month.
As far as I’m loving the anime right now and I’m completely happy that it’s continuing onto a new arc. Not to mention, when there’s a new arc, there’s gonna be a new op. I can’t wait to cry even more and be more thrilled to watch it! ~\(≧▽≦)/~
In my sketchbook, I wanted the last section should be all about the anime My Hero Academia. I intended to make it nice and warm because the collage I made was just a sight to see And I wanted this section to be filled out more characters from the anime/manga. Like I said, I adore his artwork and I really wish to see him and understand what’s it like to be a mangaka. I know a little on how it can be difficult to adjust your time and not to mention, time-consuming. The artwork must be nicely drawn and the details must be precisely well done.
Let me tell you a bit about her. She’s a bubbly and lively person who likes to think everything positively. She’s friendly to those she meets and she will try to help/defend anyone that previously came to her aid *ehem, Midoriya ^3^* and people who are dear to her. Her humble background makes her incredibly excited or surprised over little things. The fun part is her quirk, called Zero Gravity. Her quirk gives her the power to manipulate gravity, such as making objects weightless or making objects float upon touching them. She can disable to quirk just by closing her fingers together. But there’s a limit, if she uses her quirk too much (around three tons) or if she makes herself float, she’ll suffer from nausea and may vomit. That’s what I do recall from the first season.
✨ psssst, but ofc, she’s a cutie.
Upon getting to her skirt, I got led all over my left hand (the effects of the photo made the led lighter, but trust me, it was darker than that) and I was laughing on how I forgot to use my “God Usopp” as my protection. I should buy the gloves, anyone knows where to buy? >_<
You know me, I like to immediately finish and shade where I’ve drawn. If I don’t do it, I don’t have the confidence to continue elsewhere. I will think it’s not the same just like the original. That’s why you can see I’ve shaded everything and continue in another place.
The most time-consuming part of the drawing is the rug/fabric on her hair. I was afraid that I did a mistake or else I would have to do that part again. But no, I haven’t. YET.
(っ´▽`)っ hahahaha
I’m safe to say that I’ll be uploading the progress of this piece on my youtube channel. So stay tuned for that! Subscribe though~ It will help me a lot ❤
Also, do follow my blog for more & don’t steal my photos. ty.
Excitement comes when you’re so focused on a drawing that you know it will look amazing. As for me, I’m trying to get the hang of going digital for the past few days. I forgot how amazing it is! ~\(≧▽≦)/~
I don’t have a wacom tablet yet, it’s expensive to buy one. If I have enough money, I’ll buy it from my what-to-buy-for-an-artist-like-me list. So I used my own hands as a mouse and… well, I have a few cramps on my fingers. I’ve experienced going digital in the past but thanks to the program Sketchbook pro for giving big opportunities and it’s free! I tried on a bunch of techniques just for a start. I think I did alright hahaha.
a portrait of my sis I did
Doing things “digitally” means that you are going to the next level of being an artist. Well, I would say it is but staying traditionally is still okay as well. We all have different taste. I really enjoy sticking drawing with a pencil and paper. I enjoy using different techniques when using a pencil and not to mention, the power of charcoal. I haven’t been using charcoal because they’re quite expensive and I haven’t used one since I last used it during the 4th grade. Thanks to my past art teachers that gave me hope as an artist. I still remember how they loved every piece I made for them. I’ve adored them dearly. (lol, for going off-topic there)
Anyways, the mangaka of the famous anime/manga Boku no Hero Academia artwork never fails to create great characters and design. Also, One Piece ofc. Their artwork made me so passionate on drawing and made me try their art style. What I like about artists is that they always have a style. A style that represents their artwork. psst, I don’t one yet. But yes, their style is them. It shows what they like and the way they design. It’s just… them.
My sketchbook is halfway finishing and I wanted to make all of the drawings that I’ve done until now be unique and memorable. This is a new drawing that I’m currently doing and I hope it will fit because like I said, I like to make things big ^ω^
Do you guys like to draw on both sides of the page or only one side?
When it’s been a tough week, you gotta get a break and leave the house to get some fresh air.
I visited a few of my dad’s relatives in Pattani, Thailand and they were so nice to us that we had a friendly chat and ate some snacks with them. As you all should know, it’s nice when visitors come, you should always treat them snacks or tea/coffee/any type of drinks. I didn’t eat much but I did accept their offer. At least my little siblings took a lot of what they gave, hahaha. We only visited because there won’t be another time to visit them once my sister and I leave back to NY.
While I sat at the back and enjoyed some freely music to pass the time while my dad drives, I ate some Korean noodles. Like seriously, this noodle makes me want to drool. Everytime I make them, I intend to drool and my stomach starts to growl like crazy. I’m actually drooling right now as I’m typing all this hahahahaha. They’re expensive but it’s worth buying! ❤
We went to Big C and bought lots of things for the house. I bought a few snacks and cake for my little Arash’s birthday. I loved the pound cake that they sold. After shopping, we went back home and brought in the groceries and relaxed while eating the snacks, lol. What a day it was.
During the evening, I continued on the My Hero Academia drawing collage.
I’m happy on how it is turning out so I wanted to make part two of this because it didn’t fit everyone else on the first one.
1st part.
And yup, this is up on my youtube channel~ ❤😜 You may check it out here! \\ For now on, I’m back on making videos… but sometimes there will days where I don’t have the time. I’m always busy with home duties. But once I get back to the States, let’s hope I’ll have some vlogs up on my channel then and show you my days there in NY. It will be tough since I’m gonna be jetlagged for a couple of days. Well, that time will come soon. I’ve moved to August if you guys haven’t known yet. (ofc you guys don’t know, lol😂) It should have been in the month of July but the price was high and moving to August is a bit cheaper. We cancelled that one and though about going on the month of August, which is okay for me since we have to start saving our money.
painting progress.
My sister and I have been making some progress on painting. As you can see, the cremé color… well, actually it’s called ‘Lily White’ works really well with the brown column. My dad loves the color of brown and white together since he has a love of wood. Do you guys like the way it looks?
watched ‘The Boy and the Beast’
As much as I love anime films, this one is a favorite. You should give it a watch~
Days have gone by and most of my little siblings had the flu and had to stay at the hospital. I had to prepare food, clean the house, do laundry, and help my dad with the other house. While my mom is away to stay at the hospital with the sick kids, I’m on house duty. ╮(╯▽╰)╭ but oh, it was fun cooking and trying new things what to make. I enjoyed it.
After the kids recovered from their fever, I was able to be back on track after four days of their discharge. I’m currently finding a place to stay in NY but it’s not going well because it’s easier to go there and find one by myself than just looking through the internet. My older brother is helping me find and it’s uhhh going great, I suppose? Haven’t gotten any updates from him to be honest. He’s been busy working and doing “other” things, which I can understand.
I’ve been continuing drawing and I’ve never felt so good.
adding in Iida-senpai
YouTube update:
I did make a video on my fast sketch on All Might from the anime ‘My Hero Academia’. I’m enjoying this anime so much till the point where I want to marry it, lol, don’t kill me. There’s just a lot of things going on and I cried a lot from the touching scenes. If you haven’t watched the anime, please do watch it but if you want it more serious, I recommend the manga since it’s more detailed within the story it provides. Anyways, I drew Iida-san to join in this little adventure and I will add more characters on the other page as well.
House update:
The worker has been coming and doing things little by little on the house. This week, he’s been making the design of the columns upstairs where the balcony is. This room is one of my favorites.
wood and side of the column
Now, after painting the primer onto the wall twice – I can finally do the final paint. The paint is like a cremé color, it works well with the wood that my dad placed mostly around the house. We are still using the leftover paint that we last did on our other house my dad built. White will be painted only at the kitchen since my mom prefers white there. I agree with her, lol.
There’s still a lot to do downstairs and outside, so the house might finish next year, let’s hope.
Anime:
I just finished watching all the anime that I haven’t gotten to watch, and I’ve finally caught up on all of them! 💚
Food Wars! season 4 – can’t wait for the continuation of this series, it’s so good!
One Piece – Bege laughed and I laughed =￣ω￣=
Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) – tears dropped… a lot, All Might is just an amazing hero
Wotaku ni koi wa Muzukashii (Love is hard for a Otaku) – this anime is just relatable and I just adore Nifuji~
And lastly, my current favorite anime is Megalo Box – Gearless Joe will win! I think Yuri will be in so much pain due to his condition, let’s just wait for the last episode.
This Spring’s anime was great, looking forward to Summer’s anime~
And that’s it, I hope you all have a great Friday (´∀｀)♡
There’s just so many One Piece characters I have drawn over the past year to practice on my drawing skills. I’ve made a goal to draw each of the characters when I just made it through to the episode where it showed Luffy’s past which included his brothers, Sabo and Ace. What was heart-touching is when Dadan showed affection toward them at the end when they wanted to go on their separate ways to become a pirate. Ace left, Sabo left… then Luffy. And yes, I cried. Dadan is a great “mom” (well, technically a foster mother) after a few episodes because in the beginning she didn’t care about what they do but she had to take care of them due to Garp, Luffy’s grandfather. That’s enough storytime, lol… I would like to talk more about it because it was a touching past but let’s leave it that for now.
I made a collage at first since I believe these are just supporting characters and most of them don’t get the credit they deserve. Firstly, I drew Ivankov and Traflagar Law (my bae) on one side of the page. Why Ivankov? He’s an amazing character! He saved Luffy from all of the poison that he took from Magellan with his devil fruit. Not to mention, he’s strong and can change people’s gender hahaha 🤣 He reminds me of some kind of rockstar with all the makeup on his face. For Law, who doesn’t want to draw him? He’s the most handsome-est surgeon in the whole wide world. It was like love at first sight for me. When he started saying “Roooooooooooooom… Shambles…” it hit my kokoro (japanese word for heart) really hard! The two-year skip made him more handsome, god bless Eiichiro Oda-senpai :’3
Ivankov and my bae.
On the right side of the page, I drew three extra supporting characters which are Dadan, Doflamingo and Jinbei. To be honest, I didn’t know who was Doflamingo in the first place because I was still at Luffy’s past at the time. I know that he firstly appeared at the war but he looked like some kind of annoying guy with his tongue sticking out but when he appeared again at the Dressrosa arc… he’s the best villain, yup. Since I didn’t get to know him well but I just chose his tongue sticking out because it reminded me of how I saw him at first sight haha. There weren’t many good pictures of Dadan so I had to do it on my own. I chose when she was crying when one of the brothers were leaving. Like I said, best foster mom in the world. Next is Jimbei. Knowing him was cool because during the war, Ace trusted him. But when Ace died, Jimbei was the one always helping Luffy get into safety due to the shock he received after knowing Ace died right in front of his arms. It was such a heartbreaking moment for the world. But now, Jimbei is back in the Whole Cake Island arc and he’s pretty much going to join the StrawHat Pirates, I just know it.
Next page, I drew Whitebeard. Now this was horribly drawn. I will re-draw him again so there’s no need to show you all, lol. Whitebeard has the most powerful devil fruit (well, maybe after Blackbeard’s) which he is able to make rumbling vibrations just like an earthquake in any place he desires. Quite powerful, don’t you think? He was killed during the war, RIP Pops. ((´д｀)) The next side, I drew Shanks. There’s a lot to talk about how powerful he is; he is one of the four emperors and everyone is afraid of him. He exceeds so much on his powers, it’s like he advanced his haki(s). Haki; is a mysterious power that is found in every living being in the world. It is not that different from the typical senses. However, most people do not notice it or fail to awaken it. Broadly speaking, there are two types of Haki available to everyone, given the proper training; however, there is a third type that only a certain group of “chosen ones” are said to possess. — He stopped the war just by walking in. He’s handsome. He’s compassionate towards his crew. He takes his time as he and his crew travels the world because I believe he knows what’s in Raftel, the last island and about One Piece. So, he’s taking his sweeeeeeeet time. Cool guy he is.
Also, I’ve drawn the moment where Shanks and Marco visit the grave of Whitebeard and Ace… but still this piece haven’t been touched for months but I can show you the progress, hehe ^
Next up, I drew two pages on Boa Hancock. She’s a beautiful empress and she has a huge crush on Luffy. Her devil fruit power is powerful as well. She has some kind of “love” power which can make people turn to stone. Quite convenient if anyone comes to attack her due to her beauty. Plus, she’s taken by Luffy hahaha.
Hancock, Hancock, Hancock and what she looks into Luffy x’)
After that, I drew #2, #3 and Buggy the Clown! They are a favorite. These trios is what made this series funny and fun to watch. #2 did a huge sacrifice just to let Luffy and the others escape from Impel Down. I hope I’ll see him in the near future, no news so far how he’s doing. #3, in the other hand, helped Luffy even though he didn’t intend to but he did anyways. His devil fruit power is quite helpful and he did save Ace from his execution by wearing the uniforms for the executioners. Lastly, Buggy the Clown has made a huge impact in his take. His power is quite useful as well due to not getting sliced from a weapon and such, and I can’t believe he has made it from the beginning to where today’s episode it’s at. What a legend for his useless devil fruit hahahaha ✨ (forgot to take a pic of Buggy, oops… even though he’s a favorite)
Thumbs up to Bon Clay, hope you’re still alive!
Next page, I drew Rayleigh. What a man I would say. He teared up when Luffy set his journey after the timeskip. He helped Luffy train his Haki and unleashing Gear Fourth for 8 months, I believe. He was a big help to him.
Want to know what’s my faaaaavorite arc in One Piece? Let me just say that is when Sogeking shows up ^ hehehe// This arc was just a masterpiece. Water 7; there’s where it took place. This had so many episodes but worth to watch. The StrawHat Pirates lost one of their favorite ship, Going Merry… it was emotional. Usopp went through a lot of hardships toward his ship because it won’t be able to sail any longer. They had many adventures together and it’s sad that they just had to stop sailing due to its condition. But luckily, they were able to get a newer ship called “Thousand Sunny”, which includes Going Merry’s mascot in a little ship they have on the ‘Thousand Sunny’ which was cute. Robin had to face CP9 that made her turn back on the StrawHat Pirates but of course, they know she wouldn’t just leave without saying goodbye. And there, they gained back Robin and got a new nakama (japanese word for friend) named Franky who will be their shipwright on their journey.
nami + chopper
added in luffy
added in sogeking ❤ + sanji
✨ I’ve added a section where I’ll draw them during the 2 year skip because they have improved so much and gotten more gakkui (japanese word for awesome). I’ll draw it if I have free time. And yes, I’ve been learning a bit of Japanese, thanks to anime x)
Another great arc is ‘Thriller Bark’, another place where they got another nakama named Brook. His past was really depressing to hear. I had to draw the moment when they all sang ‘Binks’s Sake’ and Brook is on the piano with Luffy. That was a beautiful and touching moment. Plus, I didn’t use a ruler in the making of this drawing. I’m able to make straight lines on my own. I feel proud of myself, lol.
Bink’s Sake moment.
Next up, ADMIRALS! One Piece wouldn’t be so cool without these cool admirals that wants to take down all the pirates. I drew Aojiki, Garp, Magma-man that I hate, very cool blind-guy, the power of light drunk guy, cute Tashigi and Smoker-san.
When I came across the ‘Dressrosa’ arc, I was really happy that Luffy reunited with his other brother, Sabo and that Law will join the StrawHat Pirates for a few arcs. I had to combine a bunch of stuff into two pages so that I will remember this arc… and this is what I came up with.
(enjoy the close-ups… especially Law hehehe)
Added in a drawing from the manga where he unleashed his Fourth Gear during this arc. As you may know, Luffy is powerful but not that powerful. I did make a video on my youtube channel just me shading and adding details this and there. You may check it out here!
Moving on, I was at the part where we get to know a little more on Law’s past by Doflamingo… and Corazon. I understood how Law felt on wanting to kill himself due to his condition on some kind of lead virus from his hometown. Sad to say that his parents and little sister died from this tragic because people thought this virus will be deadly and will spread. These doctors are just crap, they aren’t really doctors if they just kept screaming that this virus will not be cured. What I love about Law is that during the Dressrosa arc, he wore a long coat that has the name ‘Corazon’ on the back. As you all should know, Corazon is Doflamingo’s brother and of course, they were close but due to Doffy knowing that Corazon is helping out Law a lot because he has the initial ‘D’. Yes, the will of D… this legacy will keep going strong. There are other people that have the ‘D’ on their names but we still don’t know the truth behind this. We will find out more in the future. After Corazon knew about Law having the ‘D’ on his name, he would do anything to help him cure his disease in any way possible. The only possible thing is to steal a devil fruit that has the power of operation. Since his parents are doctors, he learned many things from them because they lived in a fancy hospital mansion. Corazon stole the devil fruit but got injured. He was able to keep moving so that Law would be safe. Corazon’s mission would be complete if Law would eat the devil fruit and he would get off the island. Doflamingo and his gang knew Corazon shouldn’t be trusted and killed him after Corozon hid Law and ate the devil fruit. I started my year crying in this dreadful past of Law. Law had to keep going forward and had to live. // He became a captain of the ‘Heart Pirates’ and this is where he started his journey to obtain One Piece. His nakama’s on the ship are all nice but of course, Bepo is the cutest of all and I had to draw it… and here is the result!
I’m so proud of how it came together :’)
And I added in Corazon as well.
I’ve started inking on my drawings and did a few tests on Law (of course) and Sabo. If you want to watch me ink Law, you can check out here! For Sabo, this is a full uncut video so you can watch it here as well! If you guys like my content, do subscribe for more! ❤
And here’s more honorable mentions that I kept for last.
This is the end of the longest post, I hope you enjoyed reading this far, there might be some errors in my typing but I will revise it later… do leave a comment on what you think of my drawings!
Today, I thought I could tell you a drawing progress blog on one of my favorite villain from the anime series of ‘My Hero Academia’ which is Dabi. In the anime, he has made his appearance at the end of season two and made way through season three, yuuuus! He’s good-looking but he has his limit if he gets damaged too much. I haven’t caught on watching it even though there were a bunch… I mean a BUNCH of spoilers that I did saw a bit from instagram. I had to take a peek of course and I saw lots of happened pretty quickly. I’m looking forward to binge watch it once Ramadan is over.
So, here’s a drawing progress post on my drawing of Dabi ✨
A closer look on the wip of Dabi
Let’s talk about his appearance first. He has like this eye-catching patchwork face detailed with large sections of skin that are purple and deeply wrinkled. Around his patch of skin and other parts of his body looks as if it was stapled or stitched together. It’s kinda creepy but looks detailed pretty nicely. More like a piece of art. He has several piercings on his ears and some on his nostrils. His mouth is like stapled making him grin most of the time. He likes to chuckle. (^ワ^＝)
So, everyone needs superpowers right? Well, in this anime they call it ‘quirk’ and quirk is a special, superhuman ability an individual can possess. Quirks are generally unique to their user, and are classified in multiple categories. And for Dabi, I’m not sure what quirk he uses… it’s hard to tell. I can only find out from the manga but I’m sticking with the anime, hehe.
Like I’ve said, his face is highly detailed and it was simple to draw it out… to me. It took me 50 minutes to be exact. After the face, I make my way to his ear, I didn’t put much effort on the ear piercing because I’ll be doing that later. I work my way down to his neck and then his hair. I want to check if the hair will work perfectly on the eyes I’ve drawn. Once I’m satisfied on how it looks, I go for the details right away. I’m that type of person. I don’t normally just sketch it all out. I just go for it.
She finished quicker than me.
Since my sister was near me at my desk, I asked her if she would like to draw Dabi with me even though I had a head start. She said yes, and drew while laughing. I was just starting to do his hands and when I was not even close to finishing, my sister said ‘DONE!’ and I told her, that was fast.
It took her 15 minutes.
And look, she did it close to perfect! Better than me tbh hahahaha
hair + more details
After that competition, I continued on finishing his hair and adding details as I go. It looks great so far, right?
I look from my laptop :’)
So far so good. Adding more in to the details by using a 2B pencil does the trick. I sometimes use 3B for the hair because dark hair is in need of a darker shade. But since I don’t have a 3B pencil, I’m sticking with 2B.
need yogurt to keep goingggg…
As you can see, it’s close to finishing! I wanted to take a break and ate strawberry yogurt to get my energy filled up. I continued by sketching a bit on his coat. You need that shadow to make it more unique. And yes, I used a 2B pencil for this.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post, it was fun drawing him because he’s just an amazing major antagonist in the anime. I can’t wait to find out what quirk he uses… and he’s quite hot. (hehehe)
Thank you and hope to see you in the next post! Do follow my blog for more ❤
