Since 2021, I’ve been totally into sketchbooks. I draw more or less depending on my freetime, but whenever I start drawing more again, I often find myself working on one of my (unfortunately now many) unfinished sketchbooks. Today was one of those days. :)
Recently, I bought yet another new sketchbook (ahahahaha.... 😶🌫️) while I was at Action, and I noticed some Twin Markers (cheap alcohol markers) that I ended up buying because I might want to do a Cheap Marker Challenge again - maybe I’ll use these ones. Aaaanyway, I felt like sketching today, and this is what I came up with:
I bought a compressor at a second-hand market.
I've had a Copic Airbrush Set for years (but without a compressor), but I never wanted to use it because I was always worried that I’d soon have to replace the part needed for the air.
It’s like buying particularly valuable materials and waiting for the "right" special moment to use them so it’s worth it. Well, that led to me never using it...
Hopefully, that will change with the compressor, since I won't run out of air so quickly xD
As always when I buy new drawing tools, I just had to draw something :) Since my sketchbook obsession is still going strong, I grabbed one (from my seemingly 100 xDD) and drew my OC Karasu. She usually has black hair with a violet sheen, but this time I wanted to keep it pastel and purple :)
In the summer, I often draw very little or not at all. This summer is no different. Currently, we have very hot weather, and I can hardly wait for autumn to begin. For me, the best time of the year starts from mid or late September, with Halloween and Christmas.
However, I can't go completely without drawing, even in the summer, but it's mostly sketches that I do (which I don't always share). Some time ago, I bought the new iPad that came out this year. It was a good upgrade from the one I bought 5 or 6 years ago, and I draw on it more often than with my WACOM graphic tablet. It's just very convenient, and it's also a lot of fun to draw with it :) One of the best purchases I made this year.
