Lonely mermaids

 A mermaid who is in love with a human is in despair that they cannot be together. I tried to make the focal point her hair and expression.

An attempt to doodle Ariel in my own style.

Manga girls

 Summer X Winter

The red ballpoint pen sketch is an imagining of how the goddess of love, Aphrodite, would look in manga form.

Ariel studies


An attempt to make my own notes about Ariel in my own style. Please pardon the many derps.

Sketchdump 4

The top is a tree sparrow; the middle, a horse; and the bottom is the side of a lion. I was studying its muscles and form.

Costume studies and sketchdump 3

 Suzuki Airi and Natsuyaki Miyabi's outfits from the Buono! single, Our Songs. (Left - Airi, right - Miyabi)

The girl in the pirate costume is Suzuki Airi in C-ute's "The Treasure Box" concert outfit. The woman at the bottom right is a manga version of Irene Malloy, wearing her outfit for the song Elegance in the well-known musical "Hello, Dolly!". The rest are sheer imagination.

The top left is fanart of Jack Frost from Rise Of The Guardians, done without reference. The bottom and center sketch of a girl leaning in her chair is a sketch of my classmate, focusing in class. The rest are from sheer imagination.

Expression and painting practice


The "Spoonful of Sugar" Theory

This was painted for my friend, who was having difficulty overcoming her stress and worries for A levels. I wanted to motivate her in the best way I know how.

Lion digital painting

Each strand of fur was painted individually with a default brush, as I was new to digital painting at the time and did not realize there were more efficient methods.
