A comic about friendship.
I’ve been thinking about this composition lately. I like the contrast between the mountains and the sea as a place where different worlds can exist side by side despite the distance separating them.
I chose to work with Nankin ink, even though I still find it challenging because it’s so heavily pigmented. The shadows were painted with diluted ink, and I finished the piece with a fake white Posca marker from Daiso.
I’m a huge fan of mangaka Keiichi Arawi, so I made this reimagined fanart based on some of their works that I really love. Their art is a big inspiration for drawings with white backgrounds or solid color blocks. I did the line art using a Pilot pen, photographed it, then digitally colored the background afterwards — a cosmopolitan girl enjoying songs and coffee or tea
memories of youth ver 2.0
this one was soooo fun to paint T_T i sketched it in my college notebook in 2024 during the most soul-crushing class ever after work… i was exhausted, starving, and mentally at brunch somewhere else
i scanned the sketch and painted it in medibang paint, and for the background i used a pic of my living room table lol so it has this weird manga augmented reality vibe?? fully mixed media moment
posted this on my main instead of my art blog… but whatever it’s part of the portfolio now hehe XD
