CuteGio sketch

Cleaning up the palette. Practicing pulse, values and precision with leftover paint. The brushes I bought in Japan after watching a manga artist paint my portrait. She told me that they are cheap student brushes. I bought some and I love them! Great water retention and flow. The handle is so easy and effortless to hold, even for long periods. The best part, less than 6 dollars for 3!!!! #art #creative #paint #practice #sundayfunday #bingewatching #watercolor #holbein #色 #水#絵 #水彩 #pentel #student #tokyohands

Happy Cat-urday. I'm currently sick in bed but I was able to capture this little critter at my Neighborhood farm. #cat #kitty #catlady #farm #decor #countryliving #texas #farmlife #ornaments #pose #shabbychic

Many correction and transfers later: inking. Still debating is digital was faster/better but I think I will do a watercolor color test. I also have the idea of a very ethereal mood, so I want so see how it looks. Have the many tutorials I've watched the last months pay up. #anime #girlpower #美少女 #アニメ #マンガ #ベルサイウ #roseofversailles #ink #watercolor #絵 #バラ #art #ドキドキ #ペン #pen

Funny story today: I decided to climb Mt Inari and follow the the iconic red Tori gates all the way to the top. Usually people take pics and leave, but since this was a lifetime experience I went ahead. Almost near the top I see this girl gaining on me (I was not really stopping to rest!!), so I felt embarrassed and pushed myself. She made it a bit after I did! Perfect makeup and no sweat! And wearing platform heels!! I do know how did she made it all the way to the top but she needs to share her secrets... #kyoto #inari #vacation #walk #hiking #japan #heels #gyaru #japanesegirl #kawaii (at Fushimi Inari-taisha)

Monks chanting early morning. The bell rang before they started, reminded me so much of Mass calling in Mexican Catholic Church. Weird how Japan and Mexico have so many similar rituals and traditions. #kyoto #temple #zen #travel #walking #stroll #adventure #さんぽ (at Kyoto, Japan)

Akihabara day. So far it's raining today but that didn't stop me and the rest of the mobs. #geek #otaku #tired #tokyo #東京 #walk #秋葉原 #ガンダム #ガンダムカフェ (at 秋葉原駅 Akihabara Station)

A burrito in Tokyo while celebrating Mexico. I only last 3 days without tortillas. #tokyo #mexico #tired #walking #blisters #odaiba (at Ultra Japan)

Took a closer look at what it looked like a butterfly getting ready to build a cocoon. Ghastly discovery of what was really going on. #butterfly #nature #circleoflife #strolling #walk #workingout #texas (at Webberville, Texas)
