<sub> <center> **Happy Sunday! 🥰** </center></sub>


There is nothing to do today, so I opened my favorite drawing software! 
I should be running some errands today, but it is too cold. 

I prefer to be indoors instead. So, today's blog is about trying new tool and art style. As I mentioned over and over, I am still looking on what art style should I go for, or should I say, I want to master. 

This time, I am trying the anime style using g-pen. I do not use g-pen often. I usually use a flat brush.

By the way, how is your day so far? 😌

I am going for an anime art style specifically [like](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/2e/ca/03/2eca03520496a7fe70974538e7a2396e.jpg) this and [this](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f5/e5/c6/f5e5c639ae7f02ccf14044e0c854fabf.jpg). I think this is called manhwa (???) I am not sure. But I want mine to be a bit anime-ish.

So, I started looking for reference pose. There are a lot of poses, but for now, I will just draw the simple one. I will ditch hand gestures for now, and want to focus on the over all coloring and lineart. I am still stuck at line art, though. There are still a lot to learn. 

I simply draw the shapes to guide the proportion of the head. Look at the ear difference. I think I spent five minutes redrawing that damn ear. 🤣 There will be a lot of adjustments later on.

On the next frame, I then did the line art. As I mentioned above, I used a g-pen this time. I actually am liking for this pen! 😌 I might use and practice this over time. I adjusted some properties in settings to match my drawing speed.

I choose yellow for the eyes, like my cat [Night](https://peakd.com/hive-196708/@jijisaurart/our-little-night). I was thinking, if Night was a human, this can be him. Heheh~

I chose a blue-ish black for the hair. Yeah, bearly noticeable. Black again for the clothing. I chose a neutral brown for the background. 

I added another layer for the black gradient on the background, and then airbrush around the character.

It's shading time! What is the most boring part of drawing to you? 🤣 Hmm, for me is the coloring of the base color in general. I find shading interesting because it makes the art 3D-ish because of the shadows and blending. 

For the hair, I used three shades of dark blue. One for the base, one lighter, and one darker. I freaking forgot the highlight of the hair! Ugh. I just realized now! 🤣

In this art, I simply put the shadings on parts that I think are the most corners. Blurring also helps in making the shadow soft-looking.

# FINAL ART!!!

Tadaaa! I put some sun rays for the ✨glow✨. It touches the skin so I added a hint of orange. So obsessed with putting cross earrings in my art, especially for male characters. 🤣 

Conclusion:

I am starting to be a fan of g-pen UwU. I find it easier to make thick and thin lines. Also, when using this pen, there is no pressure in making clean art. I honestly like the "messy" art style compared to the clean, cell-shadowed ones. I will continue to use this pen and art style! 😍

Software: Clip Studio Paint Pro
