Sometimes, I just want to sit at home, veg, and grow mushrooms out of my head. The week before the start of school is always such a time for me. In an effort to
not be completely unproductive and useless during the week capture my sentiments, I did a few silly doodles:
'SHROOM TAIM 8DPaintTool SAI 1.01 + texture from CGtextures.com
Despite the roughness and perspective/anatomical errors, I had a lot of fun drawing these - a sensation I haven't experienced in a while. I realized that I had been so focused on creating
one-off,
refined illustrations that I've forgotten how to draw for fun! D:
My recent
rampant manga reading research into storytelling also influenced my perspective on illustration. In particular, Saharu Mizu's works made a great impression on me (
watashitachi no shiawase na jikan and
My Girl are my favourites). She is such an incredible artist with a talent for capturing subtle expressions and gestures. Allured by her storytelling ability and delicate - seemingly effortless - artwork, I reconsidered my direction. I'm not entirely sure where I'll be going with this, but as always, there will be much experimentation and "art poopage". :)
