This time, I drew a portrait inspired by a photo of Hoshikaze Madoka, the top star of the Takarazuka Revue. I absolutely adore the artistic aesthetic of Takarazuka and its incredible performers and characters. Still practicing my portrait skills! (ง๑ • ̀ω•́)ง

這幅肖像畫是以寶塚歌劇團TOP明星舞空瞳的照片為參考練習的作品。我非常喜歡寶塚歌劇團的獨特美學和形象，未來會畫更多以他們照片為靈感的練習作品，提升繪畫技巧與美感學習。

錯誤也是進步的一部分。我特別喜歡這句話的『也是』，它提醒我們，錯誤不僅同樣是學習的一部分，也是具體推動前進的有意義的事情！🌸 我希望能擁抱這個過程，讓每一步，即使是不完美的，也推動我前進。

This portrait is a practice piece inspired by a photo of Maisora Hitomi, the top star of Takarazuka Revue. I’m deeply captivated by the elegance and unique aesthetic of Takarazuka Revue, and I will definitely draw more portraits from their stunning imagery to refine my skills and explore their artistry further.

Mistakes are part of the journey, just like successes. I especially like the 'too' at the end, which reminds us that mistakes contribute to growth and progress as well! 🌸 I hope we can embrace the process and embrace every step, even the imperfect ones.

🌙 散發你的月光 🌙

🌙 散發你的月光 🌙 月亮並不自己發光，而是反射太陽的光芒。我覺得這是一個非常美麗的比喻：當我們情緒低落或能量不足時，可以試著像月亮一樣，反射來自周圍的光和正能量。

反射外在的光不僅讓我們展現出更美好的一面（就像月亮的美麗🌕），同時也能讓我們內在獲得更多能量。就像物體在反射陽光時，本身也會吸收陽光的能量，逐漸變暖一樣。

✨ 透過反射，擁有美麗的光芒 ✨

🌙 Beam Your Moonlight 🌙

The moon doesn’t shine on its own—it reflects the light of the sun. I find this to be a beautiful metaphor: when we’re feeling low or running out of energy, we can try to be like the moon, reflecting the light and positive energy around us.

Reflecting light doesn’t just make us appear brighter (like the moon’s beauty 🌕), it also helps us recharge. Just as objects absorb warmth while reflecting sunlight, we, too, can gradually absorb the energy we reflect.

✨ You can find your light through reflecting lights. ✨

這是這幅畫的兩個配色版本。

圖一的配色帶有溫暖自然的感覺，結合了大地綠，讓人聯想到平靜與未來的希望，對應文字「為未來學習」。 圖二的配色則散發出一種充滿活力的電動氛圍，明亮的水藍色讓整體充滿歡樂感，對應文字「快樂學習」。 兩個版本都好喜歡！ 不同的配色能創造截然不同的情感體驗。這也是為什麼我在創作時，特別喜歡使用配色色票做不同的嘗試。 我主要透過 Pinterest 尋找配色靈感，此外像是 Color Hunt 等網站也非常好用，收錄了各式各樣的配色組合，創作時真的很方便！

為未來學習

這是我最近創作的學習相關插畫——「為未來學習」。 我覺得學習的目的是讓未來更輕鬆，而我最近也體驗到了過往學習帶來的好處。我最近在複習人體藝剖，是以前學過的題目，本以為自己已經忘記了，但稍微複習後發現記憶復甦了。真的很感謝過去的自己曾好好學習藝剖。

除了完成圖外，我還保留了這幅作品的繪畫過程：草稿 > 線稿 >（配色，無圖）> 鋪色 > 完稿。我通常都依循這樣的步驟完成插畫。這張圖在配色的時候嘗試了十多種色票，最後選擇了這個配色，帶來一種踏實、溫暖又輕快的感覺。

這幅插畫還���第二個版本使用了另一種配色，我會在下一篇文章分享第二個版本(つ´ω`)つ

These are two color versions of this illustration. Version 1 features a warm and natural vibe with earthy green tones, evoking a sense of calm and hope for the future. It pairs perfectly with the text "Learn for Future." Version 2 exudes a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, with its bright aqua blue giving off a joyful and dynamic feel. This matches the text "Happy Learning." I love both versions so much! Different color schemes can create entirely different emotional experiences, which is why I enjoy using color palettes in my creative process. I mainly find color inspiration on Pinterest, but tools like Color Hunt are also incredibly helpful. They feature a wide variety of curated palettes, making it so convenient for creators!

Learn for the Future 🌟📚

This is my latest learning-related illustration, "Learn for the Future." I believe the purpose of learning is to make the future easier, and recently, I experienced the benefits of past learning. I’ve been reviewing anatomical drawing, a subject I studied before. I thought I had forgotten most of it, but after a bit of practice, my memory came back. I’m really grateful to my past self for taking the time to study anatomy.

Along with the finished piece, I’ve also kept the progress stages of this work: sketch > line art > (color selection, no photos) > base coloring > final rendering. I usually follow these steps when creating illustrations. For this piece, I experimented with over ten different color palettes before settling on this one, which feels grounded, warm, and lighthearted.

There’s also a second version of this illustration with an alternate color palette. I’ll share that version in my next post(つ´ω`)つ
