More cards! ^.^

My friend who is much younger than me is moving away and this card is going to act as a Christmas card and a 'we will miss you' card :,(

Another Christmas picture...

This is a picture I drew for my grandmother for Christmas.

Christmas for my grandparents

I am drawing pictures for my Grandparents for Christmas. This is the first one

2012 drawing

This one was another one done during the extensive summer holiday

another one from 2012

I drew this towards the end of the academic year in 2012

Kiyoshi

I drew this picture during the summer holiday 2013. He is called Kiyoshi ^^

Christmas Cards 2013 school friends ^^

As well as doing my German exchange's Christmas cards, I've had to do them for my school friends as well!

I was really shocked to find that I needed to do 13 A6 cards, but I've finished them now! 

This year I decided to give all of my card characters names ^^ 

In the end I decided I wanted to keep one of these so I drew another one... 

But it's kind of autumn not Christmas...

Christmas Cards 2013 - German exchange

Our school did a German exchange during the summer holidays so I am making my German exchange her Christmas card ^^

Pencil sketching on the coach journey to Belgum

I recently went on a school trip to visit the trenches in Belgium and I drew this on the loooong coach journey there.

Thank You Note for 2013

I drew this picture, first on paper, then on the computer, for my 2013 Thank You notes (birthday presents and all) now I have to think about Christmas cards :( After I merged the layers, I realised that I'd forgotten to remove the white in the ponytail of the girl in grey, which was annoying, but I can't be bothered to change it... I am working on another digital image right now, but I don't know if I'll have time to finish it.

Sailor moon variant drawings, 2010/2009

These are two of the very first manga drawings I did, probably around 2009-2010. They were strongly influenced by the Sailor Moon series.

pastel colouring experiment.

I was bored over the holidays so I drew this, I wanted to try using pastels out along with my markers.

Candy Candy sketch

This is a photo copy of a sketch I did of candy candy in 2010/2009. nice to see I've possibly improved? Maybe not... Found it in a pile of old print outs so I must not have liked it that much...

Fook Yi, Hello Pi. Again.

Yeah, I was bored so here's another Fook Yi sketch. Not sure what his korean name is...

Hello Pi! Fook Yi (Chinese name)

This is probably a manga very few people have heard of, I think it was written by a Korean, it was orginally called Anyeong-haseyeong Pi or something like that, my korean isn't great... Anyhow, this is one of the incarnations of the chicken, a main character in the story.

Georgie; Kyoko Mizuki

I don't know how many people still know Candy Candy, but this manga is by the same author, its lesser known, though, I think... I think this manga is called Georgie (I'm not sure, but at least the main character is Georgie...) anyhow, found this picture in a candy candy art collection book and drew it.

Lia - Ocean of Secrets, Sophie-chan

I recently discovered an artist who puts her work online called 'Sophie-Chan' (ソフィちゃん）I really liked her drawings and I was impressed that someone of such a young age would be writing a manga series. I was prompted by a series of fan art to create my own 'fan-art' of Lia from Sophie-chan's manga series, 'Ocean of Secrets' and here it is ^_^

Time taken: about 1 hr (It was a bit rushed)

I don't like the eyes very much and I accidentally mucked up the skin, but whatever ^_^

Materials: Letraset Promarker and flexmarker and inscribe pastels. 

Looking at it now, I feel that the layout is similar to one of the pictures she posted on her deviantart, but then, I am better at copying than taking someone else's character and improvising...
