illustrator living in Japan!!

Merry Christmas!!! メリクリ！！🎄🎁 I haven’t been able to focus on illustrations I want to do lately because well adhd and sometimes when I set a goal just the act of setting it makes it harder. I wanted to draw Yamu for her birthday live but couldn’t. But I also wanted to do a christmas illustration this year and succeeded so I’ll take that win! I’ve also wanted to do a bunny girl for awhile now and the reference for this was one butttt now that it’s Christmasy I can’t use it for bunny day lol 😂

This will also probably be my last post until new year because I’m on a trip to Taiwan! 🇹🇼if you have any recommendations here let me know I have a few more days and will probably come back because there’s a lot to love here! Besides the crazy fast busses… lol. I have a very big project for new year I hope it gets done in time. I thought I’d have more downtime to work on it… it’s also a bit more daunting than expected. Hope I can do it!

Been a minute since I’ve drawn a floating girl… lol. It’s also still a bit of a glorified sketch. The hair is still just part of the sketch layer! lol I also took a million and a half years to do her left hand- it was all over the place!

Sketchdump 😅 Have a favorite?

I really like the second but it’s sooo small like 800 pixels max I usually do around 3000 so like it can’t really be used for anything lol

Been a bit of a funk lately, most drawings don’t make it past the rough phase and into the sketch phase. This barely did lol. I’ve still been drawing everyday though so atleast there is that. I think in the new year I’m going to shift gears and try for quality over quantity though. That probably means less to post here though so pray for me that the algorithmic lord continues to smile this way.

So this one was just gonna be a practice sketch. I initially only drew it to practice that tops shape, because it looks a lot like the one MARiA where’s in the G.R.N.D. music video! lol. And then I liked how the shadows on the body looked so it just snowballed into a complete illustration. This level of illustration normally take around 6-8 hours to get to this kind of finish and got here in only 2 hours!!

5 hidden hearts! Can you find them all? Lol

I drew this one towards the end of last month… And it was for all intents and purposes finished… but there was something off about it I could not figure out. I spent hours trying to fix random things- I think making it worse. Felt like trying to polish mud. Yesterday I took another crack at it, and realized how the hair was so huge and the face sunken in. And in the process, i also managed to give it some extra soft warmth in the shadows that I do not fully understand how i did it and at this point I’m to afraid to try and figure it out lol.

I ended up with three different background variations and could not choose which to post so here we are! Which is your favorite? I might try printing it as a sticker or post card, so feedback is most welcome!!

I’m surprised at how well finished this one got, i only spent 6 hours on it. It has a lot of refinements of like a 10+ hour illustration. Maybe im getting faster. I can hope thats the answer lol.

I read an illustration book by Matsuo Hiromi recently called “My Garland - Lingerie Inspires Me” and it has an entire history about it. It’s told also from the point of view of a bespoke lingerie shop attendant, guiding you through history while simultaneously desribing how and why it was self empowering, or self care at that time and how it can be now also. Ever since reading it I’ve really enjoyed drawing it too.

And for anyone still playing, there’s three hearts hidden in the image 😂

This was a lot of fun! It’s got a lot of finished hallmarks but maintains some of the sketchiness especially in the hair. I did the sketch last night and was excited to keep going first thing this morning haha I worked on it on and off all day. 😊

A cute drawing today!!! This one may not be most finished piece but it was done in under 45 minutes so I’ll take that as a HUGE win! Lol I didn’t even do highlights in the hair, just cut some out form the hair base color to show the canvas color through. I’m also finding more and more ways to use shadows instead of lines too, like her neck, or the underlying sweater is also just occasional lines, occasional shadows, aligned in a way on the background color a well. No base color for it. So really theres only 3 colors used here- The line-art color (which is the same as the shadows, only the shadows are much lower opacity on a color burn layer), the hair, and the skin color which is also the entire background color. I’ve been doing that a lot lately, using the skin color as the background.

Do you like the light or dark version more? English below!

明るい方と暗い方、どっちが好き？よかったらコメントで教えてね〜！シェアも大歓迎です☺️💕

今回の子はちょっと不思議な制作過程で…自分でもどっちが正解かわからない作品なんです（笑）
最初のスケッチはシンプルで線もすごく綺麗だったんだけど、ブラとか何も描いてなかったから、インスタに上げられるように次の日に描き足したら…そこからどんどん線を消して、影だけでまとめる方向に行っちゃって。前に描いた“線なしイラスト”みたいにね。

でも髪まで完全に線なしにするのは難しそうだったから、今回はその中間みたいな仕上がりになりました。
しかもこの作品、めちゃくちゃ小さいサイズで描いちゃってて…普段より全然小さいの！
拡大すると線が潰れちゃうから、ポストカードとか印刷用にも使えないのがちょっと残念😂
だけど描いててすっごく気持ちよかった〜！
この小さなイラストに3日間、合計8時間も使っちゃいました✨
ちょっとズームしただけでピクセルが見えちゃうくらい細かくて、ほくろなんて4〜6ピクセルしかないよ！

This one is conflicting one for me. The sketch originally was quite simple with graceful lines, but there was no bra or anything so i ended up continuing it the next day trying to make it more safe for instagram lol while doing that I ended up starting to erase more and more lines and using the shadows instead, like I did in my lineless piece. I thought the hair wouldn’t do so well lineless, so i did not go all the way this time. So this one ended up in a middle ground. I also did not intend to put so much time and effort into a piece that was really small- its much smaller than my usual drawings. The sketch was done zoomed in a lot, and I cropped down to because scaling up would wreck the sketch lol. So I cant really use it for anything like a postcard or print. But it was so very satisfying at the same time. I spend 3 days and 8 hours on this small little drawing. If I zoom in even a little bit I can see the pixels quite well! Her moles are only like 4-6 pixels in size!

This one was supposed to be with the last Sketchdump but it was just so cute I had to do it on its own!

23/11/2025

Sketchdump! Which is your favorite? A couple cuter more simple sketches today! I feel like I’m in bit of rut with art lately and don’t like anything I do lately. I’ve felt like this a few times now and I hope like the times before I come out better on the other side 🥹

Sketchdump! Have a favorite? They are in order of finish not favoritism haha. They are all kinda rough I know however they all came in under hour so I’m happy about that. Some of them have the full gamut of finishes like the halo highlight on the first! Great for under an hour! Two were in the train ride coming home from Tokyo! It’s been a bit busy lately so just enough time for some roughs lol 😂

I got to see KT Tunstall the other day, saw her 14 years ago and this time was a special anniversary of her first and my favorite album Eye to the Telescope. So almost all the songs were from it, or are new for an anniversary release in its old style! It was really awesome and nostalgic! I used to listen to her on repeat in my high school days.
