Miscellaneous info below (Mediums, Contact, etc):

Mediums: I'm a traditional artist and my main medium is watercolor.

I'm not being paid to promote any specific brand, if your looking to start out use what is accessible and affordable to you! With that said here is what I use:

Watercolor: Renesans Half pans, Holbein watercolor tubes, Winsor & Newton Professional, and Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolor.

Watercolor inks: Dr. Ph Martins Radiant Concentrated watercolor and Ecoline Liquid Water Colour (These are why some of my watercolor pieces are so vibrant.)

Brushes: 0.5, 1 & 2 Foldable travel watercolor brushes, and those waterfilled brushes.

Paper: Fabriano Hot Pressed Watercolor paper, I usually bind these into my own books.

Other Mediums: Microns, Prismacolor Color Pencils, Posca Wax pastels, Paint markers, Tombow water based markers, Ballpoint pens, Acryla Gouache, and Crayola crayons.

If you are looking to get into watercolor my best advice is to invest in actual watercolor paper. For watercolor the most important thing is the paper, nice paper can make even crayola look beautiful. 300 Gsm is ideal.

For Mini Paintings:

Liquitex Acrylic Gouache and Golden SoFlat Acrylics

Mini Canvases (3x3in)

Mini Easels (5in)

Clear Gesso

Small paintbrushes, brand does not matter I tend to buy whatever is tiny and is a reasonable price. I use Synthetic brushes.

It should be noted that I do scan in all my artwork, I use a epson perfection v370, I've had this scanner for years and it works pretty well, you just need to mess around with the settings. I edit all my art in Clip Studio Paint to remove any lint or dust and to fix up colors.

[Traditional art can be pretty expensive so I recommend if your looking to try any medium to buy a little bit at a time and buy things piecemeal.]

X/1999 Volume 2 Illustration Comments 

1995 Monthly Asuka March Issue, Announcement Illustration 

Paper: Manuscript paper

Lines: Color pencil

Color: Colortone. whiteout Copic marker

I literally just penciled this on regular manuscript paper used for monochrome illustrations [laughs]. I've used Colortone before, but I hardly ever use it in X.

[Ed. Note: Colortone is a type of colored screentone; it's also sometimes called "overlay.”]

2002 X Calendar illustration

This was a uniquely long, vertical format, so I had a hard time devising the composition of the illustration. Now that I look at it, the specks of light make it look like a Magical Girl transformation scene [laughs). Although this was a large illustration, I screwed up my courage and colored the background using only Copic markers [laughs]. The uniform was inked in with Lumocolor pens, but I used Liquitex afterward for some parts of the piping. The wing was drawn with an airbrush, and the Earth with acrylic gouache.

2002 Monthly Asuka April Extra Issue

X Comic Collection 04 Illustration 

Ohkawa commented that there hadn't been any illustrations of Kamui being sad, so she asked me to make him cry. I drew an illustration for the cover of the X Comic Collection 03 of Kotori wearing a blue headdress. So he's holding that as if it's a memento. I used Liquitex to draw the beads. The other areas are done with Copic markers. I put down a layer of gray ground coat before doing the actual illustration.

1998 Monthly Asuka November Issue

Title Page: Illustration 

Paper: BB Kent

Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen

Color Dr Ph Martin's Color Ink, Lumocolor ink pen, poster color, Copic marker

This is a fake Warring States Period illustration [laughs]. I drew something with a similar theme before, but I think this one looks more Warring States-like. Even though I've totally ignored the authenticity of the time period [laughs].

[Ed. Note: Poster color is also known as "poster paint" or "tempera paint."]

1996 Monthly Asuka August Issue, Title Page Illustration 

Paper: Watson Paper

Lines: Winsor & Newton Drawing Ink (Nut Brown),PIGMA Graphic ink pen

Color: Acrylic Gouache, Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink, Lumocolor ink pen 

The ink I used to draw the main outline blurs a bit when it's mixed with water. so the whole illustration has a yellowish tint to it. I wanted the uniforms to look dimensional and not just pitch-black, so I used Lumocolor for them.

[Ed. Note: Watson is a brand of Japanese paper good for watercolor use.]

1993 June. X Volume 4, Cover Illustration 

Paper: BB Kent

Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen

Color: Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink, poster color

The concept color for this illustration was gray, but his hakama would look very drab if I'd colored them gray too, so I made them light blue instead [laughs].

2002 X TV Anime Volume 5 DVD Box illustration

For the illustrations used on the anime DVD boxes, I had decided from the beginning to make the backgrounds black and to incorporate a round element, which in this case was a window. Both Sorata and Arashi are very "Japanese" characters, so I drew them with that idea in mind. But I still put them in their school uniforms.. (laughs]. Sorata wears his uniform only once during the entire series, and that was in a flashback scene. When you see them together like this, it seems like they're from a different story. The background is colored with poster color and acrylic gouache.

1996 X Anime Movie Advertisement Illustration

Paper: BB Kent

Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen

Color: Dr. Ph. Martin's color ink Liquitex

Since this illustration was for the movie, I wanted to give it a heavy atmosphere, so I used Liquitex. But it took such a long time to dry that I ended up having to pull an all-nighter to make the deadline [laughs].

1996 X Anime Movie Flyer Illustration

The scene and color palette for this illustration were created to suit the movie, since the image was going to be used on the flyer. I think I used I Watson Paper for it and colored it mostly with ink, but I used an airbrush for the Earth. I placed a thin ground coat of brown on the paper first and colored the characters after that. It's exactly the same drawing technique as I used on the posters.

1999 Monthly Asuka May Issue, Title Page Illustration

Another illustration of Karen looking very neat and tidy. I put her in a delicate lace dress, which is a refreshing change since she's usually drawn with a bondage look. The background resembles a holy shrine of some sort. I purposely drew water in the illustration since she has the power to control fire. Originally there wasn't any lace over her cleavage, but I added it on later at Ohkawa's request.

1993 November, X Volume 5, Cover illustration

Paper: BB Kent

Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen

Color: Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink

The building in the background is the offices of Kadokawa Shoten

Publishing Co., Led. Are the papers that are falling out of the sky just random documents? Or final drafts of manga? It'd be terrible if they were final drafts [laughs].

2001 Monthly Newtype November Issue, Cover Illustration

Newtype has a very large cover area, so it's fun to draw illustrations for it [laughs]. I wanted the blackness of the uniform to have a heavy look to it, more of a "woolly" texture, so I used a Lumocolor pen instead of a Copic marker. If I had used a black Copic, the color would have been much lighter. They don't make that particular hue of Lumocolor anymore, unfortunately. The other parts of the uniform were drawn using Dr. Ph. Martin's, the cloth with Copic markers, and the earth using acrylic

2003 X Calendar Illustration

This was for a desk calendar, so it wasn't a huge project, but I still did draw in a lot of detail. Fortunately, not many colors were used so it didn't take too much time. I spent the most time working on the dragon. Until this illustration, I had been drawing Asian dragons, but this dragon has a slightly Western touch. Its scales are very shiny (laughs].

2002 X TV Anime Advertisement Poster

Fuma's head looks a little big here [laughs]. I made this when I was working on Chobits, so I had a "drawing habit" of doing things in that style. The background was colored with acrylic gouache. I wanted an ashy hue to create a tranquil, not too heavy-looking sky. The other parts were done with a Copic marker. The piping on the uniforms was too small to draw, so I added them afterwards with Liquitex

2002 X: The Choice of Fate Play Station Game Package Illustration

I remember working really hard on the Tokyo Tower for some reason. The Tower and capes were done with acrylic gouache. Since this was an illustration for a video game, I wanted to give it a battle-like, action-y feel; it's just right for an all-out fighting game! I erased the outlines of the background to make it look like it was drawn with a computer. but it actually took a lot of time and effort.

1996 Monthly Asuka August Issue, Title Page Illustration

Paper: BB Ken

Lines: Dr. Ph. Martin's Sepia Ink, PIGMA Graphic ink pen

Color: Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink

The illustration seems slightly yellowish since I did the outline using Dr. Ph. Martin's Sepia Ink and then blurred it with water afterward. The shattering glass over the image gives it an ominous feel

1994 December. a volume 6. cover illustration

Paper: BB Kent

Lines: PIGMA Graphic ink pen

Color: Acrylic gouache, Dr. Ph. Martin's Color Ink

 I shaded the illustration with pink as a base color, and then inked in the different areas. Since Kotori’s the subject, I wanted to make it look cute, so the concept color is pink and it's got lots of flowers [Laughs]

2023.03.28

finally, here, is, march, monthly, painting (wheezing...)(jk) Geez, I really didn't expect this month to be busy enough for me to neglect my monthly painting, but hey! i finished!!! I used Dr. Ph Martin watercolors for the first, hence why the pinks almost neon-like which wasn't my intention, but it works! I'll definitely turn this into a postcard at some point, but definitely for sure a bookmark (hopefully in time for my April events heh)! I think it'll be really cute as a die-cut bookmark instead of a typical rectangular one ^v^

[artandmeggo]

This is a painting I did with Dr. PH Martins watercolors, Copic markers, Dr. PH Martins Bombay ink, and Copic multiliners.

I made the mistake of using ink for the stripes first before the color. It was reactivated by the Copic markers in some areas, thankfully it was only a small amount and isn’t very noticeable. But lesson learned lol

hi this is really random but i love the negative space sparkles/stars on your jan 27th furby friday post!! is that watercolor? how do you do that? ive been trying to achieve a similar result with colored lead. sorry, its hard to google these types of things!

Hey! Yeah those are all spitshaded, the same way I do all of my tattoo flash, just with no lines. This is a great guide to the teqnique, I actually learned to paint from an older now deleted guide by the same artist. tl;dr: two brushes; one for ink, one for water. lay down ink with one, pull it out in a fade with the other.

I think those were done with ecoline watercolour brush pens, I don't use those for real paintings but theyre good for quick doodles or thumbnails. For all my flash I prefer to use liquitex inks or fw liquid arcylics. I've used ph martins radiant watercolors in the past and they have the best colour and fade very nicely, but they have poor lightfastness, which isn't great for a tattoo shop where they're going on the wall.

New Art: Unbecoming

It’s been a while since I’ve used watercolor or let alone color in a drawing to the extent that I did with this piece, ‘UnBecoming’. I recently acquired some new art supplies, a set of watercolors and a set of Dr. Ph. Martin Bombay inks. I used both for this piece. The skin tone and some of the hair is done with ink wash and watercolor. The reds in particular are a combination of both mediums.…
