The Drawing Table

A bunch of Jims

A buncha Zaks

Started as a sketch, but in typical 'me' fashion, turned into a full piece. Getting the hang of drawing mechs! Still have no idea what I'm doing when I'm coloring tho.

I've figured the way to get good at drawing Gundam is to keep drawing him. Shocker. It's hard for me to let a sketch be messy, and not want to tinker with it until it's "perfect", so I'm forcing myself to by making it an experiment with different brushes I have.

gritting my teeth I. Am. Going. To. Learn. To. Draw. Mechs!

I always missed the fine texture of actual pencils in my digital work, so I was really impressed with the Chromograph set from True Grit Texture Supply!

Playing around with Procreate brushes

I want to get back into drawing, and specifically start doing mech art. Beginning this with some sketches of my HG YF-19

Playing around with more of Procreate’s effects and brushes. Not sure I really achieved the watercolor look I wanted. Also I still have no idea what to do for backgrounds—even abstract ones, lol

Warming up for my upcoming ESS piece for this year. Wanted to try some different painting techniques to get closer to Nobuteru Yuki’s style. Also an experiment with the screentone overlay.

Character is Lalah Sune from Gundam.

Overall, I’m happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it too, Hielo!

Due to work and my focus on writing, I haven’t drawn much at all this year. Still playing around with Procreate, getting a handle on its capabilities.
