Quick Preview of What's to come!

So here's what has been going on lately with the slow posting:

• I dropped my Huion pen, and it stopped working. I looked for a new Huion Pen at amazon, but it was the same price as the entire Huion tablet so,
• I bought a new tablet a few days ago. I am now a happy customer of "XP-PEN", and I am enjoying that so much more (no hate Huion). 
• I am working on a brand new video tutorial all about "Anti-Stress," journaling, and coloring (preview above) so stay tuned
• If you're wondering about the fate of "Lolitups" don't. I am posting the latest chapter up very soon, but the biggest time consumer of making this webcomic is color. It's either color (more dynamic, and longer posting times) or black and white unedited sketches (faster posting, but more plain, and messy). I am also making this a lengthy chapter!
• I have a new job now so...I'll be polishing my schedule to post a bit more often (1-2 times per week), and sleeping more so I won't give out half-hearted posts.

That's basically it...for now. 

This a traditional illustration I created with one green sharpie maker yesterday.

I titled this "Those of us still hanging on by a thread." 

Every  single abstract item in this piece are being held on to by a string or thread whereas everything not being held on to (the fallen like dots) are those of us who have already given up, and lost the will to keep on fighting. We let go of that thread.

This is the same exact illustration, but filtered to a different color since I like blue tones :)

Meet Reya! She is one of my OC's from the "Elvin Girls" fantasy project I am working on. I've included a speed painting below:

Today, I took on the challenge of digitally painting for the first time using Paintstorm Studio. This was a full on no sketching, and just blending brushes type of digital painting that I don't usually do. I always start off with a sketch, and then use some line art though while using Paintstorm studio instead of Photoshop I thought, "Why not try something different."

In this illustration is an alien girl radiating blasts of energy from her body.

It's official!

So today, I'm starting off the week with a sketched digital illustration to be since I got my new drawing tablet *happy dance.*

I got the Huion 420 (not the H). It is one of the most basic drawing tablets (it's actually meant for a game called Osu...never knew it existed until yesterday), but it's good...I guess.

I mean at least it's not possessed like the last tablet that was gifted to me. Given my lack of experience with drawing tablets I don't have much to compare the Huion 420 to besides my mouse.

It get's the job done faster than my mouse so I can't complain.

A beautiful mock up that highlights your design (no more models)! I usually don't create mock ups without models, but after browsing a few online shops featuring modeless mock ups there were a couple that caught my eye, and I figured...why not make my own, and share it you guys.  

I am basically a day or two (okay, it's been like a week. Let me live) since I said I'd do a "daily sketchbook binge" on here so even though it's a little overdue here is the first set. I'm working on improving my proportions on different sizes of paper using ink.

I got a new sketchbook yesterday. I didn't like it at first since it's not as smooth to draw on with my pens, but it grew on me a little.
