Mika's Madness

Sunsets are so pretty, but whatever you do, DON’T look directly at the sun!! Be safe: look at paintings of the sun instead. I am posting these for your personal eye health. You’re welcome!

These were created for last month’s Patreon drawing challenge on sunsets ☀️ If you like drawing challenges, join us: we’re drawing feet this month. Yes, that’s right: Feet. It’s a weirdly polarizing topic and most search engines try to block me from searching up good reference pictures. But drawing feet is an essential skill for any character artist!

The natural conclusion to my berrymania is blueberry pie!🫐✨🥧

I also realized that I've accidentally made a short comic about the fate of these blueberries with my 3 paintings haha

Painting process! The full hours long video will be DMed on Patreon.com/Yuumei on August 5th!

Here he is, our favorite vampire as a Greek God! 😌
As I have already mentioned, it all started as a study of anatomy and values and eventually evolved into a complete illustration.
One of my “problems” is that I tend to overdo the illustrations, focusing on details I know few people will notice. It’s something I need to work on! I’ve often heard from other artists that leaving certain parts of an illustration less detailed can help keep the focus on the main subject! For this reason, I made a simple background for this! It was a challenge for my obsessive perfectionism, but in the end I am happy with the final result!

It was so refreshing to work on this illustration, so relaxing as well! 
I hope you like it! 💕
