I’ve been playing with my coloring effects lately, and I don’t think I’ve been able to choose one that I’ll stick with. Most of the time, I prefer to do cell shading because it gives the painting an edge, making it look refined and very anime-like.

However, I think I want to learn how to be less anime like and blend the colors more. I’m just impatient with the blending process as it takes up a lot of time.

I’m beginning to loosen up a little now. I used to not correct my ink work on the PC because I felt it was “cheating” to do so. For this piece, I went ahead and flipped, moved, redraw anything I thought needed to be changed. I’m pretty happy with how this came out… although I’ll probably change the color of the teapot on the right. and edit the BG a little bit.

I think I want to draw other characters now…

It’s a little sad that I still can’t embed Deviant Art codes into my blog… But I’ve already written a complaint to Sanriotown, so it should be fixed soon… I hope?

I’ve been busy running around a lot lately. I wanted to draw something with a lot of detail on it, and a friend of mine sent me a fanart of Onegai My Melody showing some of the characters cosplaying as Rozen Maiden characters. I wanted to expand on it a little bit more, since it only had Uta dressed as Shinku, Koto dressed as Suiseiseki, and My Melody dressed as Hinaichigo.

I came up with this art, “Onegai My Rozen Maiden Melody”, featuring all 8 dolls from Rozen Maiden. I only wonder if Hiiragi and Jun will kill me for dressing them up as Kirakishou and Barasuishou? Haha!

I don’t like the background too much though. I might end up re-drawing that later on.

I didn’t know dA had such nifty embed codes. ^_^ At least this will give me a much easier time to share some art.

Still no wacom at the moment, so I can’t sketch as much as I use to. =( *sniffles* I miss speed drawing…

EDIT: Ok, maybe it’s not so nifty after all… Or Sanriotown codes are messed up. Time for some bug reporting..!

Since I can’t sketch without a proper wacom and scanner, I thought… Well…

There’s this thing GM Abby made which is commonly known as the Grand Order of the Box Pig. It’s a Hello Kitty Online creature that caught my attention. So I thought I’d make a really tiny one for the cause.

I think it’s about half an inch high? Modeling clay is a medium that I play around with a lot, but since it’s modeling clay, it doesn’t harden. So I have to put them in glass jars to keep them safe.

Hope you guys like it. :3 See you all in HKO!

I’ve noticed a bit of a mix up here…

Most of you know Kuromi’s Blog, right? Well, this is me telling you that I write for that blog and this one.

Yep, both blogs are made by one person. You can check out my Deviant Art account too if you’d like to know more.

The reason why I haven’t been around much is because my wacom is broken… Most of the pictures I drew for this blog were made straight onto the computer as a form of practice for my skills.

Unfortunately, with no wacom and scanner, I had to stop drawing for a while. The sketch I have on the right was done manually with a paper and mechanical pencil. The backgrounds were drawn in Photoshop and so is the copyright underneath it.

Anyway, I still don’t have a wacom, so updates will be scarce… Hopefully I can keep updating Kuromi’s though. ^_^ Hope you guys like this sketch I made!
