A sleepy walrus washed up in the harbour today, had to go along and sketch him! Apparently his name is Thor, and his belly wobbled whilst he slept (unbothered by the crowds 😅)

My partner is away for a few days. So, aside from eating lamb that I ended up not enjoying, what have I done?

Paintings. I made paintings.

I paint whilst my partner is at home, of course, but usually I am confined to the spare bedroom, which is a mess of boxes and things and I cannot sit whilst I paint - so painting becomes less enjoyable and more frustrating, you see.

So I painted in the living room for the first time in ages, regretting the lamb (maybe I have gone so long without eating it that it's simply too greasy?), hoping the heat breaks soon. Wondering whether I can keep my hair in braids in perpetuity to avoid washing it (I am already on day 4 of not washing my hair. I am not especially depressed this time - it's simply too hot in the evenings to contemplate using the hairdrier).

Cat and Flowers. My cat loves staying in the garden so I made a little drawing of him with some of the flowers in bloom at the moment.

Well, it’s not something I would brag about or try to sell, but I feel good about it being page 1 of my new watercolor journal. The white jelly roll shows up more here than it really is, but next time I‘ll use masking fluid. Those highlights will look much more natural then.

What I learned:

washes dry FAST on hot pressed paper

Don’t let the reference photo do more harm than good. Looking at you, muddy right-side building.

Remember atmospheric noise the further out you go. (I should have done a better job lessening detail the further out the scene goes).

For the love of god, learn how to texture foliage!!

Moving forward, I‘ll be working on smaller urban studies and and full-page nature works.

A Place of a Contemplating Robot

I went with something more low-key. Jenny deserves some quiet, calm time now and then.😊(Also, a little reference in the title, and not just to the og show😉)

Really wanted to get another loose illustration out in time for the 20th anniversary. Plus, I’ve been meaning to do a calm piece. Between Jenny’s world-saving duty, life drama, robot-related issues, & people’s pettiness (sometimes including her own😓), I thought that she could use time to herself. That 3rd reason kinda sounds like sending a kid off to timeout for misbehavior, but hey, there might be stress behind that pettiness.🤷‍♀️ She does have the weight of the world on her shoulders. That, or it might be timeout-like after all😆 where she gets alone time to directly face her mental problems, with no physical problems to distract her.🤔

Or more interesting: needing to handle her mental problem in order to handle her physical one.🤯

Some might think calmer moments are boring, but I consider it a welcomed, necessary breath of fresh air, especially as someone who had a loud, tense upbringing.

Mini Journal

Ended up needing to keep my iPad charging the whole time; larger resolution (11x14” @ 300dpi) *and* Fresco’s live watercolor brushes drained it more quickly (~20% in 20 minutes). Even then, still a lot of crashes once I finished the sidewalk and bench. Now, only rarely do at that resolution. Watercolor-styled pieces will likely be 9x12” @ 300dpi, max.

Far more painful painting process in a full space. In a way, more directly an urban-sketching styled piece because now, it’s in a physical place instead of a void w/ colors! Similar to before, I mitigated some of the difficulty by using an analogous color scheme. This time, I really struggled with working w/ whitespace, like in Teoh Yi Chie’s or Liz Steel’s urban sketching styles.

What helped may have been a style I saw in this colored pencil Liz Steel piece https://www.lizsteel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/LizSteel-159-1104CafeFeohPacHwy.jpg , where sidewalk & road are white, & the only blocks of color are for cast shadows.

Self-Reference

I got into the pose myself, mainly to fix her bent leg & folded hands. In the end, moved the bend leg up, just showed her right hands’ fingers & her left hand’s index finger, & unbent her other leg. Tried to focus on the feeling & gesture of the pose, rather than follow the pose exactly to a T. Mlaatr is just about the perfect style for that, being a gestural cartoon.

Concurrent Illustrating & Post/Note-Taking

I illustrated & prepped my post at same time (...at least until I got to painting the sidewalk😥). In a way, it’s kinda good I didn’t do it this way before, since I didn't have set categories (like Behind-the scenes or Mini Journal) yet. Nonetheless, I still tried to be as organized as possible by having a preliminary & final version of the post on a Google Doc (especially since ELA has been my historical weak area😥).

Behind-the-Scenes: Story, Color Scheme, & Color Application Influences.

Tone & situation/implied story: the 1998 Yokohama Shopping Log OVA, with a robot (in YSL's case, a more human-like android) just hanging out and living life. Maybe even resolving some past problems or relationships.

Color scheme & watercolor style:

grass: how he colored the tree leaves here, by letting the colors mix on the page instead of mixing them himself. https://twitter.com/ParkaBlogs/status/1682275817668362240?s=20

sidewalk: after a lot of struggling, went with Liz Steel’s colored pencil technique: layering lots of colors, especially in shadow areas https://www.lizsteel.com/switching-to-coloured-pencils/ , along with, as noted w/ the first colored pencil sketch I listed, having the rest of the roads/sidewalks be white—controlling whitespace
