Head's not heading bc migraine, so first attempt at drawing manga-style. Had to figure out how CSP does things too. No energy for doing things properly.

偏頭痛で頭フワッとしてたので初めて漫画を書いてみた。中途半端だけどもう限界。寝よう。

"Hey, gimme a cute pose!" "Um, like this...?"

Done, I think? I drew this as a test for fluffy hair. Progressing veeery slowly.

Back to writing now; I'm behind.

A girl with very long, fluffy hair doing a heart sign with her hands and smiling for the camera, looking like she'd rather not.

Still not done btw, because I've been focused on writing. I'm now doing the (hopefully) final lineart in vector layers.

まだ完成していないですね、ノベルに集中してたので。現在ベクトルレイヤーにラフから線画をトレス中です。

I updated my website with a proper gallery. It's got the character designs I made last year, with color swatches. It also has Japanese and dark mode!

個人サイトを更新しました！色々あります。イラストギャラリーには去年のチャラデザや印刷してもらった1巻のカバーデザインがアップしてます。日本語版も用意しました！

Art progress report: I've been sick. Still am, actually: I'm in bed with the ipad, trying to teach myself to draw fluffy hair. I have no idea what I'm doing halp

Starting a new sketch. I haven't touched the pen in weeks. This is about 40 minutes of struggling to get the basics down.

Here's another illustration of Yume I made last year. I don't think I ever uploaded this one here.

If you could RT or give it a like over on Pixiv, I'd appreciate it!

Very grainy because I had to take the pictures at max zoom. The little thing was on high alert and moments away from running away.

I should learn already to live with the piece for a while before posting. I'm still making changes, aren't I...

I should stop and go back to writing, so here's the slight update.

Slightly improved version of the previous piece.

I haven't been drawing much, so, as practice, here's a design test for a character in an in-universe show in my series. I was shooting for kind of a mid-2000's card game tie-in anime's main heroine.

Took ~4 hours, which for me is fast. Maybe I'm getting better, little by little!

I might have said this before, but I'm amazed at how much a sketch comes to life just by coloring the eyes and adding the highlights.

Also, currently rediscovering the beauty of lying in bed drawing on my tablet. Works surprisingly well. Thanks for the lazy-oriented UI touches, Clip Studio Paint.

I also got a package with a few print of the first volume! It looks soooo good. Thanks to @flashkirby.bsky.social for the cover art!

ところで数日前、印刷してもらった第1巻の少数冊が届きました！カバーイラストは @flashkirby.bsky.social からもらいました｡ めっちゃすごくないですか？

A photo of two copies of the same book side by side showing the cover and back cover. Cover: One Dream Away, Vol. 1. Story: Ogawa Amano. Art: Flashkirby. Back cover: Time for some divine intervention? Yume, thirteen, middle schooler. Hi. I have a secret power: I can see memories of the past when I touch things. Sounds cool? Wrong! I can't turn it off and it's a pain. Literally. Now that my best friend Hikari is in serious trouble, though, maybe I can use that power to help her before she's gone forever! ...And what's up with the local shrine? Seriously, it's creeping me out.

Done!
Left: Yume, main character. Tiny middle schooler, shy, can see memories imbued in objects at the cost of pain.
Right: Hikari, best friend. Sporty book lover, secretive, worrywart.

出来た！
左：主人公のゆめ。ちっちゃい中学生、人見知り、痛みを代償に物にある記憶が見える。
右：親友のひかり。スポーツが得意、小説が好き、秘密主義、心配性。

Honestly the best chibi I've ever drawn. Posting so I get motivated to finish it instead of intimidated.

今までで一番良く描けたちびキャラだと思う。怯えて完成しないことにはならないように上げてるよ。

Chibi artwork of a girl in a ponytail tied with a big white bow. Honestly kind of decent. There's a very rough sketch of another character next to her.

Done, I think!
Completing my main character trio, this is Hikari, Yume's best friend. Bright but secretive, she's an avid reader despite crushing it at sports. Her favorite genre is mystery.

とりあえず完成です、かな！

Hi! I'm coming at you today from the town of I Don't Know Where To Put The Eyes This Looks Horrible. Population: me. Anyone around? Help me I'm so lost.

どうも、今日は「目は一体顔のどこに置けばこの絵が可愛くなるのかくそが」という村からつぶやいております。ここに他の村人がいれば、どうかこの愚か者の私を助けてください。

Trying out vector lineart in CSP. Still not sure if this is a good idea or not. How does it look? Meanwhile, back to writing for me.

クリスタのベクトル線画使ってみたけど、どう思いますか？今日はここまで、小説も書かないといけないですね。

I thought I'd ask my followers which of four thumbnails I should use to draw my other main character, Hikari, but it looks like she decided for me. This one's going to be difficult...

なんかね…

Now, that's a LOT better. Amazing what rendering, coloring the lineart, and other finishing touches can do.
