Any excuse to show off Abena's... assets, I guess.

NETALI NISSIM PINK SAPPHIRE PROTECTED EYE BRACELET

More Medibang practice on the iPad, though I did the shading and final touch-ups on FireAlpaca via X-Pen 13.5. I just lost my patience with how sloppy my work was, but it's still a good practice on a digital medium I'm still getting familiar with (the iPad).

Also, heyooo, I'm finally home after 3 years living in a hotel. No internet here, however, so I'll have to use my personal hotspot sparingly. Here is to hoping I can draw regularly again.

Original Draw the Squad meme is here. Give the original artist some love.

Tried doing the Color Wheel Meme as a coloring exercise. It ended up not just being a success, but it REALLY helped me grasp coloring in ways I couldn't before, like limiting a palette per character, keeping an eye on values and saturation, and other things of color theory that, while I know what they are, I have a difficult time implementing it.

Some colors are swapped around on some characters like Rashid's kaftan and cloak, while others like Giovanni, Frascona, and Guy are given adjusted hues not only appropriate of color theory, but even what colors would have been available during the early 18th century. Ruixiong may be unusual given that deep purple would have been impossible to obtain unless you're swimming in money, but hey, it's color practice, he probably stole the dyes and made Abena make his hanfu, or just outright stole from a rich person. Or have the Master give him the bajillion sea snails needed to make the dye WHO CARES?

Posted from my iPad and made with MediBang Pro and Apple Pencil.

It took me about a week to make as I am getting familiar with using a tablet instead of a PC with an X-Pen 13.5. The color is at least accurate between screen and drawing canvas. However, zooming/tilting with my fingers and having no physical pressure changing with my pen is really screwing with my muscle memory. It’ll take me a while until I can master drawing with an iPad. Until then, I stick to th PC and FireAlpaca.

I have tried Procreate. It didn’t click with me at all. Here is to hoping I can return to my PC soon. I have commissions to complete.
