off the topic kind of post. (drawing related) (~_^)

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.

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?

I’m always on both btw wkwkwk

a day off.

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~

Hope you all have a great Saturday! ❤

update on the last week of July.

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 (´∀｀)♡

Drawing Dabi from the anime ‘My Hero Academia’

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.

Aaaaaaaannnnnnnndddd, voila! It’s done-dilly-done.

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 ❤
