Happy (almost) New Year, everyone!

Thank you all again for the endless kindness and support in my last two posts. I am a lot better now, and while everything is not back to normal, I know the worst is over and it can only get brighter from here. I will be getting back to the flow of drawing and comics soon.

Here’s the cityscape aerial tutorial I promised. I meant to post this 2 weeks ago, sorry about the delay. Please let me know if you have any questions about any of the techniques. I’d be happy to explain further

In other news, I’ll be at SacAnime this New Year, Jan 1st - 3rd 2016 , at the Sacramento Convention center in the Dealer’s Hall with my prints and books. I would love to see everyone again, and meet new con goers as well. I’d be happy to give more art advice in person or just chat and make new friends I hope to see you there!



And in case you missed it, here are some other tutorials I've been posting on my Youtube channel .

Oh, yes, actually I wouldn't mind translating them to Spanish if the translations became open source, actually, I bet a lot of your followers wouldn't mind helping, there are a few youtubers that do this already, although am not really sure of how it works.

I had many bad things happened in 2015 as well, I lost grandmother who raised me up, my emotions messed up and all the emotion swings that attacked me. From your last post, I know you have been suffered as well *HUGS* It really hurts when you discover your friend's another side, you are so kind to consider the health of the factory workers and it's horrible to feel money can turn a person into something you no longer know. I'm sorry for you had to experience it. It was a painful battle, I believe. You did well to get over it, the agony of losing someone who was important while I'm still trying.


In the coming year, I hope we both can move forward, for whatever fun and happiness await us, I believe it will be a better year for us ^^

Hey kiddo,

With the recent happenings in your life, I figure words can't always ease the pain.  However, considering your watch list and the responses/support you've received [some better than others at stating it], I'd like to put this out here for you, and your consideration:

I am totally going to say "Hi" when I go to SacAnime on Saturday. I love your work. 

Hey and about feeling in the dumps. That sucks, majorly. I have been there too many times to count this year and countless before. I can't begin to imagine what you are feeling. I can only offer solace in the fact that you are not alone. There are times when you feel like it for sure. I am so very sincerely sorry that you are struggling.

For what it's worth, I truly look forward to seeing your art and reading your stories. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with us. It is appreciated by many.

Zheika [2015-12-30 20:17:44 +0000 UTC]

I'm a bit curious about the brushes you're using ^^ Are you using the pen tool to color and then blend on the same layer with the watercolor? And what color do you generally choose in comparison of the ones you're going to blend for the water brush to make them so nice? (Thinking mostly about 5.00 when you do the hair)
Also, is the watercolor brush ''water'' a custom brush you made or can you find it somewhere? ^_^

Yes, as Yiamme said, your tutorials are amazing and really helpful. I would love to see you there, but I'm at the other side of the world so this year it's kind of impossible ^^ Well, hopefully, there will be other times
Glad to see you're seeing the bright sides of things
