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 :)
I really miss Twitter. I already had a bad feeling when Elon Musk took over Twitter, but I never imagined it would turn out to be this awful.
In the end, all I saw was advertisements, and it was all swamped with bots 😰.
I'm also not really warming up to Instagram. Maybe that will change someday.
Fortunately, there's Bluesky as a very good alternative 💙. Recently, you can even embed posts on websites, so I'm going to try that out right here :)
This is the finished artwork ✨
