Lightbox Expo 2023 is over!! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the table. I can't believe I sold out of both my sketchbooks AND my digimon fanbook... (multiple prints too?!)! I'm incredibly grateful... I will have a 2nd print run of both sketchbooks and online orders for the digimon book up in the next couple weeks so please keep an eye out for that!

More gushing abt the weekend under the cut

I sell at an average of idk... 3-4 events a year? So I would consider myself a frequent congoer though not necessarily full time lol. I'm a little jaded like it's not that I don't enjoy going to cons but theres definitely a bunch that feel like just-another-con-weekend to me lol, sometimes it's more work than play I guess. But this con felt really different! For the first time in a while I left a convention feeling really thrilled and giddy that I had been there. The kind of feeling I used to get when I would table at anime cons in highschool! And I think a lot of that is the people I met and talked to and the overall vibes at the event. Oh also I literally just had surgery and going to this con is like the only thing ive done this week besides lay in bed and play Story of Seasons on the nintendo switch and I thought I would be in pain and miserable but actually I HAD SO MUCH FUN...!!!! even when i skipped after-hours socializing every night to go home early and sleep 12 hours lol. SO ANYWAYS. YEAH. IT'S CORNY. BUT I wanna say thank you again to everyone who stopped by the table. Especially all the coworkers and long time mutuals who I met in person for the first time this weekend!! And the long time followers who told me they have been following me since homestuck or naruto or whenever. And college classmates who I haven't seen since graduation, crazy talented underclassmen who I'd never met but stopped by to say hi... So many people who absolutely made my day. SPECIAL thank you to my table partner Emi who is the best and such a good sport and accommodating to the point that I feel ridiculous when she thanks me for anything. And um also thank you to the artists who were cool and nice when I went up to their tables and blurted out 24917596 compliments in rapid succession. or only got one really awkward compliment out to LMAO... I felt so inspired and awe struck by everyone's work! God it was just so cool to be there. I LOVE ART....

Ok yeah thats it. its been a while since ive written a post-con blog post so earnestly lol.. here's my obscene haul photo I was buying stuff at this con like I was dying and couldn't take it with me LMAO.

I'm not gonna go tag everyone because I don't think everyones on tumblr but if you dont mind doing a little google search legwork: big x-men prints from chase conley, prints from jacki li/bguavas, azusa tojo, xanthe bouma, nicodaboy, susan yung, hormstuck, nessa tweneboah, linda liu, ash tahilan, zines also from jason dwyer, ash tahilan, aprilyn cunanan, veggiecakeface, deb lee, dune5and, uhh yoichi nishikawa art book and parakid calendar, stickers again from ash, marie lum, hormstuck, chiou, and emi hartana/crowlets OKAY I THINK I COVERED EVERYTHING THANKS FOR READING

Yoichi Nishikawa and Kazuo Oga Background Painting Studies

While making these studies, I tried to keep in mind the different textures of each material I was painting and how they interacted with light; I also tried to keep in mind that a environment should receive a character not overwhelm their presence in a scene.

Ghibli background studies.

J'ai travaillé à partir d'une démo d'un artiste Ghibli, Yoichi Nishikawa, j'ai suivi son pas à pas pour l'image ci-dessus.

https://youtu.be/qH2q9ZJMaAU

L'image du haut cherche à améliorer le rendu des nuages.

Nishikawa utilise des Niker Poster Color, une sorte de tempera plus saturée que de la gouache. D'après mes recherches le liant est un peu différent mais les Niker utilisent de la gomme arabique, ce qui preserve la profondeur de couleur.

Ma palette de godets Caran d'Ache est plus réduite, j'ai dû utiliser pas mal de blanc, d'où le résultat un peu éteint.

Par ailleurs le papier a son importance. Là j'ai utilisé du mixed media de Canson, il ne tient pas le choc du levage de la couleur et bouloche.

La deuxième fois j'ai dilué mon bleu pour préserver la saturation, et j'ai levé la couleur plus tôt. J'ai alors pu r��cupérer le blanc du papier. J'ai gardé la texture du chiffon.

J'ai obtenu un résultat assez rapidement mais je n'ai pas travaillé les détails..

Prochaine étape : la végétation. Ref : Totoro.
